MB4 on August 3, 2008 at 10:09 PM
And the High Goracle spoke all these words, saying: I am the Goracle your Oracle.
ONE: You shall have no other Oracles before Me.
TWO: You shall not make for yourself any carbon images–any likeness of anything carbon that is in heaven above, or of anything carbon that is in the earth beneath, or anything carbon that is in the water under the earth.
THREE: You shall not ever take the name of the Goracle your Oracle in vain.
FOUR: Remember my birthday, and keep it carbon free unless you have credits that you bought from me.
FIVE: Honor me instead of your father and your mother especially if they don’t believe in global warming.
SIX: You shall not ever malign me or else you be apostates.
SEVEN: You shall not commit adultery with my wife, but I can with your wife and your daughters.
EIGHT: You shall not ever steal my carbon credits.
NINE: You shall not raise any challenges to the most holy doctrine of global warming.
TEN: You shall not covet any of my mansions; you shall not covet my private jets, nor my SUV’s, nor my pizza, nor my Krispe Kreame dounuts, nor my Biggie Fries, nor my hot fudge sundaes.

Imagine there’s no Al Gore
It’s easy if you really try
No rising oceans coming at us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Still living for tomorrow……
Imagine there’s no Hillary
Though it may be hard to do
No screeching and whining
And no Bill too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be without them
Imagine not being preached to by those with
29,000 sf mansions and $400 haircuts
I wonder if you can
No one selling you carbon credits or taking toilet paper from you
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be without them

employee: “Hot out there, huh?”
customer: “Fwew, yeah, think it’s ‘global warming’?”
other customer: “Either that, or it’s because it’s July 31st.”
and everyone laughed

Very interesting;From the article.
There’s an ancillary issue here:
Global warming threatens to suck all the oxygen out of
any discussion of the enviroment.
“Your problem is not global warming.Your problem is your
nuts”.
Thats about right,because being a Liberal means that
your brains have already been sucked out from the get
go!
And not sucked out in a good way!
Such a bloody pity,eh! haha!

Ya know, if only there was a way to capture all the
hot air pouring out of the enviromental wacko’s and
Libs, and then somehow harness this energy,maybe,just
maybe we can turn this doomsday scenario of Al Gores
around!
What did Al say,New York will be under water in a
couple of years,and the entire planet is history
in less than 10 years!
Oh My!!! Haha.

Interesting interview with T. Boone Pickens
liberal attack machinepaper of record, NY Times. Excerpt:Is this all about money, ultimately? Well, that’s kind of a silly statement. I’m worth $4 billion, and I don’t need to make any more money. But I’m not going to invest money if I don’t expect to make money. Here, I feel like I’m putting my money where my mouth is.
You helped re-elect Bush in ’04 when you gave $3 million to the Swift Boat campaign to discredit John Kerry’s Vietnam service. Do you regret your involvement? Why would I?
Because it’s such an ugly chapter in American political history. Oh, I see. Well, it was true. Everything that went into those ads was the truth.
Really? I thought it was all invented. I never did anything dishonest.
Will you have any involvement in the McCain campaign? No, definitely not. I couldn’t sell this energy plan if I — I’d be suspect. This way I am not suspect.
Are you tired of politics? I’m just out of it for this race. If this works, I may run in the next race.
You plan to run for president at age 84? I can see now you’re prejudiced against my age.
If not the Swift Boats, what do you regret? There are deals I wish I hadn’t made that I didn’t make money on; I lost. I’ve been married four times, so you can imagine.

Gore gets a cold shoulder
ONE of the world’s foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize “ridiculous” and the product of “people who don’t understand how the atmosphere works”.
“We’re brainwashing our children,” said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. “They’re going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It’s ridiculous.”
“We’ll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was,” Dr Gray said.
“The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures,” Dr Gray said.
“It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong,” he said. “But they also know that they’d never get any grants if they spoke out. I don’t care about grants.”
MB4 on August 3, 2008 at 10:47 PM

Oh, no, Al started to cry. Which started the whole world laughing.
Oh, if he’d only seen that the joke would be on he.
Al looked at the skies. Running his hands over his eyes.
And he fell from his throne. Hurting his head from things that he’d said.
Till Al’s power finally died. Which started the whole world

It isn’t just weather anymore that is blamed on global warming (and I love how everyone conveniently forgets we have been in a cooling trend since 1998). But anything seen as something bad happening in nature is blamed on global warming. I saw a news story today about how jellyfish populations are exploding. Guess what one of the reasons cited for this were?
This mass hysteria is going to make people just simply tune out. Any story that now claims global warming as one of the causes of a problem I now ignore myself.

Kini on August 3, 2008 at 11:12 PM
Al Gore and his followers will not be pleased
Geophysicist Phil Chapman, the first Australian to become an astronaut with NASA, said pictures from the US Solar and Heliospheric Observatory also show that there are currently no spots on the sun. He also noted that the world cooled quickly between January last year and January this year, by about 0.7C.
“This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we were in 1930,” Dr Chapman noted in The Australian recently.
Now this 11-year low in Sunspot activity has raised fears among a small but growing number of scientists that rather than getting warmer, the Earth could possibly be about to return to another cooling period. The idea is especially intriguing considering that most of the world is in preparation for global warming.
MB4 on August 3, 2008 at 11:16 PM
He’s not really hitting Gore but, telling him how to argue better. He still want the government to control us and tax us to death.

And in a related past news story -
The Mexican Consulate has brought a Complaint before the UN World Court (the “Permanent Court of International Justice”), alleging violation of the civil rights of its citizen rapists by the US in discriminating against Mr. Juarez merely because he is a Mexican citizen.
Felipe Calderon called on “human rights activists everywhere to condemn this violation of Mr. Juarez’s civil rights. Child rape is one of the basic civil rights guaranteed by the UN Civil rights commission” he said, and “the United States, our future colony, refuses to recognize that child rape is an important part of our superior Mexican culture”.
John Plantation McCain said “Mr. Juarez is missing work at the factory farm of one of my big campaign contributors, so I have asked President Bush to pardon him so he can get back to work where he belongs. he will be whipped for missing work while he was fooling around with that girl.” I have also asked the federal prosecutor who jailed the Border Agents to prosecute the 10 year old girl as an attractive nuisance, because she served as a distraction for Mr Juarez from his real purpose here - working for my
briberscontributors”The Duke University Group of 88 has demanded that Mike Nifong prosecute the 10 year old girl for raping Mr. Juarez. Said Ms. Smith-Jones-Mbeke-Jimenez, Chairperson of the Duke University of Anti-western Civilization Propaganda,”even if she didn’t rape him, she should be prosecuted because the Mexican savage culture is admirable and superior to anything in the evil US. And she added, “because we say so, since we Duke Professors are smarter than anyone we know.”
President Bush said “Mr. Juarez is doing the kind of raping that Americans won’t do. We have many 10 year old girls in the US, but not enough skilled US rapists. My proposed legislation will grant Mr. Juarez full citizenship upon payment of a fine of $50.00, payable to the Republican National Congressional Committee, which desperately needs the money. If Mr. Juarez doesn’t have enough money to pay the fine, he should go rob someone”.
Ted Kennedy said “If she had taken the ride in my car that I offered her, she would not have been home to be raped by this future Democrat voter. We offer him sanctuary in Massatwochits. Hic”
Al Gore blamed the rape on global warming. “This girl was obviously too hot” said Gore. Standing in front of a map of southeast Asia, Gore said “the girl’s family didn’t buy carbon rights I bought from a Chinese farmer who promised not to burn a million tons of coal this year, so there was a cyclone, which caused this rape.”

MB4 on August 3, 2008 at 11:20 PM
I also liked this quote from the article:
With gas around $4 a gallon a lot of people aren’t worried about global warming. He does a good job of debunking it even though he is a believer! Yes, we warmed at the end of the last century, but it’s cooling off now. As a couple posters already pointed out. The Sun has already started a quieter period. If some scientists predictions are correct, it’s going to get a lot colder before it gets warmer. Alaska is freezing this Summer! (sorry. not supposed to do that)
If this Winter starts early and is severe, especially on the east coast, heating oil prices will hit the roof and the political environment will be very cold for global warming pundits.
Ordinary1 on August 3, 2008 at 11:22 PM
I was wondering the same thing. This article was anti-human, anti-free market crap at its heart. The basic message is that the global warming hysteria is stealing the thunder from other extremist environmentalist causes.

Also too factors in the Iowa floods not mentioned in the article:

Numerous dikes built in the last 50 years that don’t allow flood waters to spread out over the flood plain making the water higher and higher downstream.

Kini on August 3, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Look over the descriptions of the following 2 houses and see if you can tell which belongs to “The one who calls himself an environmentalist.”
#1. A 20-room mansion(not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas, add on a pool(and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone(which the last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the South.
#2. Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet(4 bedrooms) and is nestled on an arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Waste water from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. That collected then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.
HOUSE #1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist-AL GORE!
HOUSE #2. (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as “the Texas White House,” it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Kini on August 3, 2008 at 11:58 PM
Actually, that is precisely the type of question that should be asked. If we assume global climate is occurring–and really there is no debate that temperatures very both high and low over the years–my question would be, “So What?”.
Since most people live on the land masses far north of the equator, we should all be happy about the significantly fewer people that will die due to cold weather in the north, the increased northern lands that will become suitable for agriculture, and the increased productivity of a country who’s northern half doesn’t get buried in snow EVERY winter. If anything, we should be burning more fossil fuels to counteract the last year’s unusual cold average global temperature, no?
Here in Wisconsin, I like to joke about global warming in the winters–”Bring it on”.

McCain does concern me more though as his chances of becoming president are a lot more than Gore’s chances.

I hope I didn’t scare everyone away. I was only joshing.

Al Gore does a lot of advertising here at HotAir, has anybody gone over to his site and had a look? I was hoping there might be a refund form over there someplace where America could get its billions of dollars back that have been wasted on this gargantuan hoax.

Joshing??? MB4!!!!

Has any nutcase who responded to the initial quote above even read the full article?

I’m going to be having fun this year at school with my own “Global Warming Heartache” updates on the school’s e-bulletin board. Thanks for the inspiration AP and HA. :-)

No need. We already know that Al Gore is a hypocritical hoaxster and that his followers are nuts.

T. Boone Pickens won’t make a dime on his “Big Wind” project without a subsidy of about $2.5 Billion of YOUR TAX MONEY…mostly in the form of an outrageously high Production Tax Credit…PLUS additional resources stolen from existing power utilities via sweetheart deals from Federal and State governments and fraudulently excluded from the published cost of his “Big Wind” project (huge interconnection construction, interconnection operating costs, increased coal/gas/nuclear base load generating plants required because wind does not provide power 24/7/365, etc.). The wind advocates have even proposed a tax on each and every electricity user in the USA just to prop up their impractical and uneconomical wind projects.
Just remember when someone talks about windmills, that these projects are actually powered by YOUR TAX MONEY…not nature!!

Yep, read the article… guy who wrote it is a loon too…
His premise is that Global warming is a fact, but that is somthing else… didn’t question the initial sceince, just the later allegations… sad really for someone who is commenting on “Science”.

If all that is correct, then #uck Welfare Queen Pickens.

Article? Read? When did this happen?
Nutcase?!!??!
Kini on August 4, 2008 at 2:27 AM
I read the article, and one section really leaped out at me. With the population of the world exploding, it’s obvious we have to do something about that.
We also need to address the dangers of global warming. Thankfully, I have a plan.
Large nuclear bombs are thought to have the ability to create so much smoke and dust in the atmosphere that they would create a nuclear winter. So we have our answer.
Nuke a couple of the largest population centers in enemy nations, like Iran, or Venezuela, and we kill two birds with one stone. We eliminate people who want us dead, and we act decisively to reduce Global Warming. It’s a win win situation for us.
In a couple years, the increased clouds will thin out, and eventually dissipate. Then we nuke someone else who has gotten on our nerves. Someone who has always opposed us, and fought us in every good thing we’ve ever done. Someone who’s traded with dictators illegally, and who has demonstrated a real disdain for international law. Someone like France.
We can do this, and we can do it together.

Did you notice, however, that the writer still had to blame Bush for the idiots in new orleans. He didn’t blame the mayor and governor for ignoring the White House pleas to call for a mandatory evacuation.

That simple point made me discount just about everything else said.
Yes, we are rapidly approaching a global population of 7 billion, and that will increase to 9 billion shortly.
But, why are we, just 365 million, the only ones who are being demanded to “save the planet?” China gets a pass? They are the largest polluter in global history. And India and Russia are not all that far behind. And we are the only bad guys?
Any intelligent Conservative understands that we should leave things better than when we found them…basic hiker/camper/hunter rule. It isn’t because Gore told us. it is because it is the logical and intelligent thing to do, if we wish to hike the same trails, camp the same valley or hunt the same game tomorrow.
But, anyone who thinks the answer is to have us retrograde back 100 years and stop our economy, start buring candles and cow dung instead of powering the World engine of progress, something we have done better than any other country in the history of the world, well, they’re nuts.

Actually, when water freezes it expands by about 4%. Frozen water (iceberg) floats with about 90% of its mass underwater. Therefore, when it melts it reduces its water displacement by about 3.6% (4 x 90%).
OldEnglish on August 4, 2008 at 9:26 AM
That would not be correct OldEnglish. Displacement remains the same in the frozen state or liquid state. But of course the water does expand when frozen, that’s why it floats.
Say you don’t believe me? Try this experiment. Fill a glass with ice cubes, then fill the glass to the brim with water. Note that the water level does not change as the ice cubes melt.
Maxx on August 4, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Actually, Maxx, I made a complete screw-up in forgetting about the 10% above water. The actual difference is about 6.4% increase, which is offset by the melting ice reducing the temperature of the surrounding water, and reducing its volume. As you correctly pointed out, the net result, at just above freezing, would be little or no change in overall level.
OldEnglish on August 4, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Which puts us in the same boat as every other form of life…

Oh, so cute in a little black and white suit waddling along, but I understand the smell is just awful. Oh, and the same goes for the penguins, too.
