A national advertising campaign contrasting Al Gore's "energy-consuming lifestyle" with the need for energy in developing countries was launched by a conservative think tank Tuesday despite charges from global warming activists that the new effort merely recycles old attacks on the former vice president.

The global-warming skeptics at the Competitive Enterprise Institute launched a national ad today targeting — who else? — former Vice President Al Gore.

The $30,000 buy is small as far as national-ad campaigns go, but it will run on cable over the next two weeks in Boston, Phoenix, Orlando, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C.

The Christian denomination that was so ostracized (or admired, depending on your perspective) for resisting liberal modern-day pleas to conform to contemporary culture has finally caved in on so-called "climate change."
