After coldest Chicago winter ever, Al Gore comes to town blaming GOP for climate ills

Chicago's Douglas Park in January

Al Gore, who said that the Arctic ice cap would be melted by now, was in Chicago yesterday, blaming the Koch brothers and an "an enforced orthodoxy" within the Republican party to deny global warming, or climate change. Or do the libs just call it "extreme weather" now.

The two-time failed presidential candidate also says Republican candidates are beholden to business concerns who are using the planet as "an open sewer."

Oh really? Which businesses?

Meanwhile, Chicago is two months removed from its coldest winter ever.
