I prefer people like this. The top hurricane forecaster in the US
and many, many years of experience in this field. Let me see, do
I choose to believe a politician with no scientific background who
has a vested interest in making a publicity scene for political
purposes or someone like this? Wow, what a tough decision! :-)

I thought the scientific mind of Al Gore invented the internet. :-))

Big :~)


History of Arpanet http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/docs/arpa.html Arpanet
Connection Maps http://som.csudh.edu/cis/lpress/history/arpamaps/ which
both show that Arpanet was alive and well when Al was still a tobacco
farmer in Tennessee and long before he was elected to congress.

Arpanet was pervasive in the US and even had links to the UK by 1980 (a
year before Al's funding supposedly created the internet)

And for some unknown reason, the site of the agency that controlled
Arpanet, http://www.darpa.mil/ ,doesn't mention Al as the creator or the
instigator or even as a guy that occasionally brought the engineers coffee
and jelly doughnuts, maybe it has something to do with Al being TEN when
DARPA was founded.
