Dichotomy – Etymology: Greek dichotomia, from dichotomos
1 : a division into two especially mutually exclusive or contradictory groups or entities

Use, as in: Doesn’t algore think about the dichotomy of his statements? 

One could almost consider the far left mentally cripped.

Again, I understand there are climate changes happening – it’s called weather.  Climate is what we expect.  Weather is what we get.  By over-hyping the message – algore is hurting the cause, IMO.

Toranto’s BEST OF THE WEB is hitting on all cylinders today with this note about the dichotomy of algore’s “over representation of factual presentations” on global warming and the “Bush Lied People Died” people.  You can’t have it both ways SHEEPLE!!!

‘An Over-Representation of Factual Presentations’
After our item yesterday on scientists critical of Al Gore’s “global warming” alarmism, a reader called our attention to an interview with Gore that appeared last May in a publication called Grist:

Q: There’s a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about global warming and get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What’s the right mix?Gore: I think the answer to that depends on where your audience’s head is. In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.“An over-representation of factual presentations of how dangerous it is.” Isn’t that what people accused President Bush of offering vis-à-vis the erstwhile Iraqi regime? Didn’t this lead a certain former vice president to thunder, “He betrayed this country! He played on our fears!”?And it’s not as if Gore’s “over-representations” don’t have harmful effects. They’ve caused a lot of people to get really sad and stressed out.
