ABC News’s John Stossel, most famous for his “give me a break” tag line, is mad at Al Gore for saying the debate on global warming is over. To prove the former VP wrong, he interviewed several scientists who have a contrary view, including John Christy and Roy Spencer who won NASA’s Medal for Exceptional Achievement for figuring out how to get temperature data from satellites.

“We all agree that it’s warmed,” Spencer told Stossel. “The big question is, and the thing we dispute is, is it because of mankind?” Read more…

Manufacturing company Moller International has finally made your Jetsons-based fantasies a reality, announcing the production of its new M200G Volantor, a real-life flying saucer, which will set you back around $90,000.

The device can fly no higher than ten feet and can only fit two at a time, but who cares? It’s a frickin’ flying saucer, man!

Still, we can already predict that Al Gore is not going to be pleased. The ship is a bonafide gas-guzzler, consuming 40 gallons of fuel if it travels at a top speed of about 50 mph for one hour. The craft also emits an ear-splitting 85 decibels — with mufflers, this problem can be reduced to a more moderate 65 decibels, according to the company. So cover your ears, kids, the future is loud.

Despite his image as a bastion of all things liberal, filmmaker Michael Moore was seen by Big Head DC pulling up to the big premiere of “Sicko,” his homage to the pitfalls of the American health care system, in a gas guzzler of a vehicle on Wednesday night.

His not-so-sweet ride, “a crew van, used to make movies,” he told us, caught some of the many progressives in attendance by surprise.

“Maybe he can’t fit in a hybrid,” one onlooker quipped.

“You’d think he’d know better,” said another. “Especially considering he wants Al Gore to run for president.”

Well, here’s a solution: Nobody tell Gore that Moore’s a gas whore! And maybe forget, too, to remind Gore that Moore supported Ralph Nader in 2000.

Bill Clinton, while discussing his carbon footprint on Brian William’s program tonight, shared that his house in New York “leaks like a sieve.” Guess all the money’s going for Hillary’s campaign nowadays. But housing experts tell BHDC that it would only cost a few thousand bucks to slap a new roof on the ex-President’s residence, which cost $1.7 mil in the ealry 2000s.

“He could probably even get a great deal,” an architecture specialist told us this evening, “if he’s willing to endorse some of the newer brands of energy-efficient shingles.” 

The power couple could even spring for a few solar panels that would further reduce their electricity use after all of Bill’s bulb changing, which we’ve detailed in the past.
