Oh, wait… he wants other people to go to jail for trespassing, etc. He isn’t actually willing to do it himself.

Wow that sounds familiar. Who has had ideas structured around that planning before? Where other people ought to do a bunch of stuff, but the speaker really isn’t applying these rules to himself…

Don’t tell me, it’ll come to me eventually.

But, why do people listen to him?

There are a lot of reasons. Perhaps the two most prevalent are.

1) Guilt, there are an enormous number of individuals in the developed world, i.e. the United States, Western Europe and parts of Asia, where people feel guilty because they have so much more than the majority of the rest of the world.

Even though it’s not their fault for where they were born or the circumstances of their upbringing they feel on a subconscious level somehow responsible for the disparity between what they have and are able to achieve and what the less fortunate of the world have and are able to achieve.

Following after people like Al Gore helps them to reduce their feelings of guilt for being prosperous in a world where so many others are very distinctly not prosperous.

2) Is a combination of arrogance and self inflicted apathetic ignorance and stupidity. Like those feeling guilt their is also a enormous number of individuals who having achieved a very specific and advanced degree of competency in some aspect of their life foolishly and mistakenly believe that this degree of competency in one aspect of their lives automatically translates to anything that they even remotely turn their attention towards.

The arrogant aspect is the obviously mistaken belief that because they have achieved a substantial degree of competency in one field or subject that it automatically translates to any other field or subject. Just because you are a Oscar winning actor or a former Vice President does not automatically make you a Nobel Prize winning scientist.

The self inflicted apathetic ignorance and stupidity occur when having achieved success in one field or subject they turn their attention to another, but do not devote the equivalent amount of time and energy into the new field or subject that was required for them to achieve competency in the original field.

A 100 years ago, it was hoped that the world would warm up. People in Europe live longer, the growing season is longer further north, etc. Goracle and the U.N., etc. are just taking advantage of a warmer Sun to make a power grab. Jerks, all of ‘em. What’s worse, their misguided policies have the potential to kill a lot of people in the third world if the world is dumb enough to go along…

He is so far removed and so insulated from reality that he really cannot see the hypocrisy of a man who uses 20 times the energy of the average citizen of the most affluent nation on earth telling the poorest citizens of the poorest nations on earth that they have to reduce their energy consumption.

But, why do people listen to him? I don’t know if it irks me more that he’s an idiot with power, or that so many people honestly buy his crap and act like he’s a freaking genius and just SO compassionate. UGH!

OT dorian, you’ve inspired me to pick up “The Picture of Dorian Gray” again. :)

The Big Cahuna say Global Warming is a rush, all natural and will get the little hairs on your body to stand up.

Count me in.

I know he’s an idiot, but even the Goracle has to see the stupidity in asking those who are a job in a coal mine or coal plant away from being in shacks with no running water to forego their means of staying out of that life.

No actually he really doesn’t get it. He is so far removed and so insulated from reality that he really cannot see the hypocrisy of a man who uses 20 times the energy of the average citizen of the most affluent nation on earth telling the poorest citizens of the poorest nations on earth that they have to reduce their energy consumption.

If a bunch of liberal college kids came rolling in to form human chains around bulldozers b/c the Goracle told them to, thinking this makes them seem so enlightened and stopping the production of something that would provide tons of jobs where there were none, I’m sure the unemployed would vastly appreciate it.

Heh heh heh, I seem to recall something similar to that happening in either Virgina or West Virgina in the early to mid seventies. A bunch of hippie enviropukes came in to a small coal mining town to protest the dirty coal and the towns people, whom the vast majority of which were coal miners kicked the living $hit out of the protesters.

This raging hypocrite, who is revered for doing nothing more than talking, really irks me. Guess what AL? None of these people are nearly as impressed with you as you are, they have real things to worry about. These tools just have no grasp on reality. Sorry, rant off.

Like I said, the man really honestly cannot see what a
hypocrite he is, like 99.9999% of all politicians he is constitutionally incapable of taking a genuinely honest and morally fearless searching personal inventory of himself.

Why aren’t kids forming human chains around bulldozers to stop them from building coal plants?

Well, if they’re like Al Gore’s son, they’re too busy living off their parents, getting drunk or stoned, and driving their stupid eco clown cars around looking for a family to accidentally murder. Takes a lot of effort to be a drunken lump offspring; look at how busy Paris Hilton stays.

Any valuable recyclables the end up in the dump will be “mined” eventually.

I was watching a penguin show tonight, and one of the lib spokespersons mentioned that penguins in the Seaworld containment camps didn’t have to worry about “holes in the ozone layer” and it hit me.

The problem with ozone layer “holes” is that the radiation from the sun would make it though the atmosphere and disfigure penguins et al. The problem with this interpretation is that the angle of the sunlight, even on the most direct summer day, is likely to skip the hole altogether!

Think of a sewer worker down in the sewer, and the sunlight peeks through the sewer lid…

And how would the kids get to it?

If they rode vehicles, wouldn’t that create a carbon problem?

This guy just doesn’t think.

Why doesn’t he have them ring a volcano instead, since they spew more trouble into the atmosphere than anything man-made.

Maybe they could even throw someone in …to appease it?

(I have an idea who might have the girth to plug a smoking crater.)

Australia has problems as well, as of 01/01/07 they have to install low-flow toilets:

What does this do besides cause sewage problems? I mean if you don’t pump the water, it just goes on down the river and out into the ocean.

P.S. I couldn’t find anything on YouTube about Rothschild Sewage and Septic Sucking Services, cause trust me I woulda

“Low-flow”? I don’t like the sound of that.

Caveman: yeah, I do,,,, WHAT????

Because even they have figured out that, unlike L’Oreal, you’re (so, NOT) worth it!
