(2009-12-11) — As experts in Copenhagen prepare for an historic vote to set the global average temperature once and for all, former Vice President Al Gore today warned of a new threat that contributes to global warming.
“I have recently learned that planet Earth is spinning at an incredible rate,” said Mr. Gore, “and this high velocity rotation causes man-made vehicles to burn more fossil fuels in order to overcome the resistance of centripetal force.”
Indeed, scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Spinning Data Unit (SDU) confirmed that the Earth, at the equator, spins at roughly 1,000 miles per hour.
However, an SDU researcher noted that 150 years of raw data tracking Earth’s rotation had been dumped several years ago to make room for a new espresso machine, “so, you’ll just have to trust us.”
Mr. Gore said reducing the rotational velocity of the planet by just .05 percent per year would cut carbon emissions by “trillions of tons, and would relieve the United Nations of having to set population limits with enforcement protocols as a mechanism for carbon reduction, which at this point, is the ultimate solution.”

..............
And WHAT temperature do the GW/CC Fraudsters think is the right temperature?
I mean REALLY.
The EARTH is spinning and cars use more fuel because of the earth spinning?
Is this his study of Guinea Pigs in a wheel?
...........
My head is starting to hurt from the stupidity of these people.
A blogger tried to Slime me 'cause he stated that since much of the wind in the US moves west to east the windmills would apply a negative friction which would slow down the earth's rotation.
When you google American Idiot you find AlGorge's pseudonym or hesodumn!
My greatest fear is global slowing from all the wind mill farms.
I think one solution would be to ban Jogging.
After all jogging produces hieghten man made CO2 levels.
As I remember my freshman physics, north to south travel is also effected. The velocity has to increase due to the distance from the axis of rotation increasing.
While the effect is had to see in a car, any artilleryman knows about this because the correction must be made for accurate fire over longer ranges.
Next, Al Gore will start whining about the excess of Dihydrogen Monoxide on the planet.
“The excess of Dihydrogen Monoxide is a threat to the planet” says Gore “If we do not do something about it now....we will all perish. We need a cap and trade system for Dihydrogen Monoxide”
So where exactly is BOR broadcasting from if he’s in a no-spin zone?
