“The interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees,” said Al Gore during the Conan O’Brien Show.

If true, that would eliminate the problem of cold feet. Of course, nothing would be alive on earth as it would be a sun. The earth is actually 5,000 to 9,000 degrees.

That was enough to make Gore “Fool of the Week.”

I am sure after the ridicule of the last week that Gore realizes the difference now.

Gore’s misstep points out why the best spokespersons for scientific issues are scientists. Unfortunately, most scientists present themselves as spokespersons as well as Gore presents scientific facts.

As the world’s leading voice against global warming, Gore should really know better. His error was not just one of getting a fact wrong, it violated common sense. Then again, that is exactly what a fool does.
