Al Gore Descends Into Godwin's Law

In case you're not familiar with Godwin's law, here's a brief description:
Rules against the N-bomb in Internet debates were formalized after 1990, when the propensity for long arguments to end in Nazi analogies led Mike Godwin (now a Reason contributing editor) to post his famous law: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." Although "Godwin's Law" was initially conceived as a physical constant rather than a guide to good behavior, it was quickly adopted as a social rule, with general agreement that the guy who fell back on a Hitler analogy had lost the argument.
Al Gore has lost the argument:
Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.
Maybe Al can enlighten by telling us how many Jews global warming has killed? How many countries has it conquered?

What a moron.
