Beam me to Planet Gore !

Former Vice President Al Gore, delivering a speech in Washington on environmental issues, said global warming, not terrorism, is the No. 1 threat to America. The former V.P. encourages a national switch to earth-friendly power sources. (Video at Link) *barf alert is standard for algore
While he praised both Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain for their stands on environmental issues, Gore challenged the next president to take bold steps to solve the problem.
"Both are serious and must be addressed. That having been said, I think that the climate crisis is, by far, the most serious threat we have ever faced," Gore told ABC News' Claire Shipman after the speech.
The one-time presidential candidate said Thursday that within 10 years, the United States should be able to produce all of its electricity with earth-friendly, carbon-free power.
Some critics have called Gore's ambitious plan an unachievable pipe dream. After Gore's speech, Obama issued a statement praising his idea. McCain said that while he and Gore differ on some environmental issues, he agrees that the country needs to move toward more solar and wind power.

Gore = stuck on stupid
If he says it often enough guess he thinks everyone will believe him.
The fact that this moron got a Noble Peace Prize for junk science has greatly undermined the prestige of this once great award.
So $4+ per gallon of gas isn’t good enough for him? His manbearpig isn’t finding much traction in the current economy.
“Gore: Climate Crisis More Dire Than Terrorism” ~ kingattax
A lie.
Allow Kerry Emanuel of MIT to explain how the deception began:
“.. “The evolution of the scientific debate about anthropogenic [man-caused] climate change illustrates both the value of skepticism and the pitfalls of partisanship. .. Scientists are most effective when they provide sound, impartial advice, but their reputation for impartiality is severely compromised by the shocking lack of political diversity among American academics, who suffer from the kind of group-think that develops in cloistered cultures.
“Until this profound and well documented intellectual homogeneity changes, scientists will be suspected of constituting a leftist think tank.”
“On the left, an argument emerged urging fellow scientists to deliberately exaggerate their findings so as to galvanize an apathetic public...”
“Conservatives have usually been strong supporters of nuclear power. .. Had it not been for green opposition, the United States today might derive most of its electricity from nuclear power, as does France; thus the environmentalists must accept a large measure of responsibility for today’s most critical environmental problem.” ~ Kerry Emanuel - MIT http://bostonreview.net/BR32.1/emanuel.html

From what I can determine, the Rev. Houghton is one of the scientists (mentioned by Kerry Emanuel above) who was involved in _ deliberately _ misleading people. He admits it:
The Reverend Sir John Houghton, former head of the UK Meteorological Office, Publisher of Al Gore’s book on GW and Former Co-Chair of the IPCC said:
“Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen.”
He then proceeds to do just that:
” .. human induced global warming is a weapon of mass destruction at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons that kills more people than terrorism.” ~ John Houghton Monday July 28, 2003 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,93466,00.html

James Hansen of NASA is another:
Hansen has long employed stagecraft http://planetgore.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MDk2YjVlYTYzZjZkNTRhZWU2NGNkNzcwYTMzMmFlNGQ=
for political gain. On June 23, 1988, he delivered his testimony in an unusually toasty hearing room. Why was it so warm? As then-Sen. Tim Wirth (D., Colo.), told ABC’s Frontline: “We went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right, so that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room . . . it was really hot.” June 27, 2008, 7:00 a.m. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZjQ2YTllODZiOTA0N2E2MTIzODQwNjUzMjQwYjI2MDI=

More first-hand admissions:
“We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” ~ Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory) (in interview for Discover magazine, Oct 1989)
*
[Therefore] “I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound. As the IPCC leadership has seen no wrong in Dr. Trenberth’s actions and have retained him as a Lead Author for the AR4, I have decided to no longer participate in the IPCC AR4.” ~ Sincerely, Chris Landsea

Personally, I think that these men (along with others like Al Gore), bear a large responsibility for the suffering and nightmares they have inflicted on adults and children around the world.
Here is merely the latest fallout, among the many examples I’ve read about, from such reckless behavior:
Climate Change Delusion Driving Boy to Kill Himself http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23992448-5007146,00.html
Hopefully more mature, cooler heads will prevail so that this madness may end.
Suddenly America can’t afford his sideshow. I prophesey he will be attracting tomatoes before long.
Gore wasn’t very specific. Of course coal production and usage must be curtailed completely. He was clear on that. Big Al said all the coal miners would be given safe, clean jobs above ground. Maybe they could be put in giant hamster wheels hooked up to dynamos?
excellent post. thanks
The Nobel Peace prize was pretty much trashed when they gave one to Jimmah Carter.
Gore is more dire than terrorism!!!
But this is how the Algore travels. Parked behind the hall.....Algore's 2 giant limos and a giant SUV, for his small party.
"Some animals are more equal than others."
Methinks the lady doth protest to much. I think algore senses the Global Warming Fraud is about to collapse, and he’s getting desperate.
Gore:
“Climate change is worth more to me than terrorism.”
This is not a fresh idea. He and many others have said it before. Threads have appeared on FR.
Right after 9/11 Woosley said that the Clinton Administration thought that video priracy was a grave concern. Right...
I can easily see this clown become head of the EPA under Obama.
We'd all be working service-sector jobs, then - because all the good jobs would be overseas or out of business.
I wouldn’t waste a good tomatoe on the bum.
Gore has about 400 pounds of earth-friendly power in his fat gut. He ought to try walking off some. If you melted him down into a really, really large pork pie, he could probably power all the carnivals and church bingo parlors in Tennessee for a day or two.
Gore: Climate Crisis More Dire Than Terrorism
Tell that to the people in the towers, Gore.
Gore = FAIL
stfu, blowhard.
That's the problem Algod, YOUR thought process has been known to be flawed.
sure Al the same liberal dolts that think we can’t defeat al qeada think we can fight the SUN!
Lately, whenever I think of the problems I’ve had with some of W’s domestic policy, I remind myself the alternative was this certifiable nut and worldwide Global Hoax Swindler, or the Pompous, Flip-Flopping Phony Kerry. Instead of two good Justices on the Supreme Court, we’d have two Moonbats, for starters. Higher taxes, likely worse problems in the Mideast, for others.
OK So we stop killing terrorist, start kill global warmist (Al you're up first), and then get back to killing terrorist in peace.
....or, I am in need of more funding to keep the climate under control. $ $ $ that is all that this is about. He has found a way to make people scared, and can make money off peoples fears and they can feel better by giving up money, rights, and anything else that GoreBore can get from them and make them feel better.
Give me money, you will feel better about your self.
LOL
The Wooden One is as dangerous as Obama. Both need to be stopped for the sake of the country.
and once again we are reminded that it was fortunate that Bush won over this nimrod in 2000.
Baloney!!!!!
Good post devolve.
What crisis? Global warming is best thing that ever happened to the human race! Global cooling, on the other hand, will cause billions to die from starvation in the first year.
<< “When asked about becoming an environmental czar for McCain or Obama, Gore joked, “Now the title of czar is intriguing.” >>
I’m not convinced that Gore was joking.
Goreboski is nothing more than a Socialist fear mongerer try to bankrupt America further then the socialist and liberal have over the past 30 years.........
I wonder if anyone has, in the spirit of alternative energy, thought about putting up their own wind turbine on their property?
Looking around the net, such a venture seems like a very pricey endeavor. Basic packages with the wind turbine, support pole, batteries, and electronics start around $10,000. How much would such a system save and how long would it take to recoup your investment?
Here is one site where it shows one working:

I read many post on the topic of global climate change. Most of these post present cogent facts accompanied with charts, graphs, reports, and studies. Some even contain challenges to Al Gore to debate his positions; none of which he has ever had the courage to accept. However, when it is a post about Al Gore all I ever see is his opinion. Opinion by definition is not fact.
What a freekin’ nerd.
.
Thanks potlatch -
I’ve got Obama upstaging algore there
Watch Obama’s hand and algore’s reaction -
Can you smell the irrelevance?
Cute, too bad the hand wasn’t a fist, lol.
Don't think Al baby, you mental miget
From a man that couldn’t tie his own shoes before age 12.
Pathological liar alert!
.
Best I could do
Thank God that the RATS couldn’t manage to push the pins through 10 chads at a time effectively. That’s how close we were to having Algore as POTUS. The man is insane.
