Is Weather Reporting Based on Science?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I never thought I would live to see science so abused to support political ends…  In an AP article today, Al Gore and other “scientists” claim that the earth is the hottest it’s been in the last 2,000 years.  Furthermore, they claim that the greenhouse gases from all of us thankless American consumers is the cause of hurricanes [note: I’ve come to the conclusion that if you’re American and Jewish, you’re the blame for just about every problem in the world]. Bear in mind that these are some of the same folks who have computer models that can’t predict the temperature next week, but we’re supposed to believe their assertions about the weather over last 2,000 years… go figure.
