Let&rsquo;s make it a game! Score ten points for every comment that makes fun of \"Inconvenient Truth\" without addressing the content of the Op Ed, 20 points for anyone who clearly didn&rsquo;t read the Op Ed but comments anyway, 30 points for a comment thoroughly rebutted by science (either previously known or pointed out in a subsequent comment) but ignored by the commenter, and 100 points for someone who comments making fun of Gore&rsquo;s name.
