I wonder how tickets to Al Gore’s mendacious Eco-Thriller “An Inconvenient Truth” (now available on DVD ^[1]!) are selling in International Falls Minnesota? The temperature there fell to 40 below zero today, just a few days after it won a federal trademark making it officially the “Icebox of the Nation ^[2].”

Meanwhile, Northern Saudi Arabia has been “paralyzed” with snow and ice as it conjures with its coldest winter in 20 years. ^[3] It will probably be difficult to get enough electricity in those snow-bound parts of Saudi Arabia to screen Mr. Gore’s movie as entertainment while the Kingdom imports some more snow plows, but over in China I’ll bet they could offer it as a distraction for the 200,000 people stranded at the Guangzhou railway station, a few of the “tens of millions ^[4]” affected by the storms.
