My criticism of Mr. Gore is that he claims to have all the answers and that he must be considered the savior of the environment. In fact, he has no more facts on this point than anyone else and should moderate his attitude accordingly.

How does that make you any different than Al Gore? You're just waving a red flag instead of a blue one. The events of one season are essentially meaningless taken by themselves. It is to the trends of decades and centuries that we must turn our attention, and some of those trends are disturbing.
