John Fund on the hypocrisy: The mines had a generally good environmental record, but they wouldn’t pass muster either with the standard Mr. Gore set in “Earth in the Balance” or with most of his environmentalist friends. In May 2000……

Why not just put a thermostat on the Sun?

Duh…everyone knows the ship would just burn up….unless they went at night. :)

This is the only crisis that has threatened the end of human civilization — Al Gore

Is Al Gore any relation to Baghdad Bob ?

The Cascade mountains are a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California.

“Global Warmers” have been telling us for years that the snowpack in the Cascades has shrank by 50 % in the last half-century. This is a LIE !

Mark Albright lost his position as a Washington state associate climatologist when he pointed this out, even thought his colleagues all quickly agreed that the 50 percent number was wrong. What’s the real number …. well they can’t agree, but they all agree it is much… much lower.

Once again the “Global Warmers” do all that they can to stop the debate because they know whenever the facts meet the light of day, they lose.

belching carbon into the atmosphere by the assload

Funny. :o)

They are exploring global warming solutions that sound wholly far-fetched, including giant artificial “trees” that would filter carbon dioxide out of the air, a bizarre “solar shade” created by a trillion flying saucers that lower Earth’s temperature, and a scheme that mimics a volcano by spewing light-reflecting sulfates high in the sky.

Why not just put a thermostat on the Sun?

Until we’ve got him riding bicycles to his fundraisers and churning his own butter, he shall be dubbed Hypocrite with a capital H. And it shall be sweet.

HAHA!!

He’s the secular socialist version of the fire and brimstone evangelist that shoots meth and frolics with male prostitutes.

Think pedicab. Stretch pedicab.

him riding bicycles to his fundraisers and churning his own butter, he shall be dubbed Hypocrite with a capital H. And it shall be sweet.

I don’t care how he arrives to any-place, or how he eats his butter, nor how Barbra Streisand lives, so long as they don’t preach otherwise to us.

Algore is such a caricature. If he’d run Hillary would have a cow.

P.S. One hasn’t had real butter, unless one ate freshly churned butter – lots of work but the result is heavenly. And the buttermilk is great too.

Every see Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper? If not, you should go rent it. You’ll get a kick out of it.

a scheme that mimics a volcano by spewing light-reflecting sulfates high in the sky

That’s a good one!

That plan had actually been in place for decades until the greens demanded various industries clean up the pollutants they were spewing into the air. Now we just need to go back to those industries and tell them to remove all those expensive “scrubbers” they were forced to install at no small expense.

Just shows what I’ve been saying all along, we simply don’t know enough about the variables involved in climate change to even know what we should do about it. In our (well not ours, their) ignorance, any solution we imagine may become part of the problem.

Gore stated that in an ideal world, employment-based taxes would be replaced by levies on pollution, which is by definition an indicator of waste and inefficiency….

Gore and David Blood (MBA ’85) are founding partners of Generation Investment Management, a firm that makes long-term investments in companies adhering to sustainability principles

She said the lease has to be viewed in a “1973 context, not a 2007 context.”

“There was a different environmental sensibility about all sorts of things,” she said.

A different ethical sensiblity also, apparently.

I nearly dropped dead

And that is why until he draws his last breath, he will pour his heart and soul into the cause of protecting our children from the dangers of dirty zinc mining.

At this rate, Al Gore may eventually be locked up for crimes against humanity….

“Until we’ve got him riding bicycles to his fundraisers and churning his own butter, he shall be dubbed Hypocrite with a capital H. And it shall be sweet.”

I don’t want him to live like a peasant, it would shock his system too much. Heck, if he had to live like me, he’d be lying on the ground curled into a fetal position. It’s just that….dammit who in the hell needs THREE houses? Especially when your children are all grown. And would it hurt him all that much to forego all the private jets? Mr. “I invented the internet” really ought to use his invention and give some of his speeches over the net. Or blog, or podcast. That would save a crapload of energy.

And by the way, lose some weight Al. It’s hard to take doom and gloom from a man who clearly hasn’t missed his five meals a day for several years.
