Some heard it as "will self destruct without a Democrat president and congress" but the transcript will simply read "self destruct". Basically Al Gore was saying that following another decade the danger is ominous that the world will self destruct as we know it today from overheating of the fragile Arctic north polar ice cap region. Many disagree with Al Gore an extreme opposite point of view being there is no danger at all. The writer has provided a basic reader as to a part of this problem by providing the Warwick Hughes url Global Arctic warming site as linked on his page to go to  http://www.nylicsocialworkeramazonas.com/id39.html . Some will charge that Warwick Hughes is slanted towards and in favor of big business. Warwick Hughes can not absolutely be pinned down as biased towards big business in terms of totality. That is their site is a basic reader on the problem presented or lack of a problem. Pro big business and anti big business will look foolish without Warwick Hughes information. It is the writers objective to present comprehensively differing points of views on the problem. After studying Warwick Hughes he suggests the reader read all his sites on bird flu with a significant liklyhood the Spanish Flu of 1918 was caused by an early global Arctic warming incident. .  James Franklin Lawton
