PRUDEN: The red-hot scam unravels
The Washington Times ^ | 2-16-10 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 02/16/2010 8:35:00 AM PST by 444Flyer

You can fool some of the people some of the time, as Abraham Lincoln observed, and you even can fool all the people some of the time. But you can't fool all the people all the time. Al Gore and his friends got so excited about points one and especially point two that they forgot point three.

Not everybody is on to the global-warming scam, not yet, but all the people — or enough of them — are getting there. "Global warming," or even "climate change" as Al's marketing men now insist that it be called, is becoming the stuff of jests and jokes. Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, a Republican, built an igloo of that hot stuff that buried Washington last week on the Capitol lawn and dubbed it "Al Gore's new home."

Across the Potomac, the Republicans in Virginia filmed a television commercial called "12 inches of global warming" and invited two Virginia congressmen, both Democrats who voted for the infamous cap-and-trade legislation, to help with the shovel that will become the official state tool before the streets thaw.

One day this week, there was measurable snow on the ground in 50 states. (No report yet from the other seven of the "57 states" President Obama once said he was campaigning to be the president of.) Even Hawaii reported snow on some of its mountain peaks, and several towns in northwestern Florida were lightly dusted, like the powdered sugar on a cop's doughnut.

"...the collapse of the "science" of global warming is transforming even the sheep into skeptics. Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground — an Internet blog and not to be confused with the violent underground Weathermen of the sordid '60s — observes that characteristics of climate must be measured carefully over the decades and even centuries, not by occasional blizzards and storms..."

Socialists always have to reinvent themselves...global warming/climate change...hope and change...etc., etc.

Examine all collectives and their members. Are they anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life? Defund, dismantle, ridicule, incarcerate (when necessary), eliminate (when necessary).

Where is the POS Al “No Controlling Legal Authority” “HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS” Gore?

Madoff is not anywhere near Gore’s league. Madoff stole from a few people. Gore wants to rob and enslave us all.

The renaming of 'global warming' to 'climate change' is an admission of failure of the theory that CO2 caused warming.

'Climate Change' is a version of 'heads I win, tails I win'.

True. Numerous public school children will have to be deprogrammed and told the truth. Lies make for very bad science.

The Marxist play book always misuses words to further their agendas. Of course we will always have climate change; we already do look at climate change on the short and long run.

If Al Gore's minions correctly used the word they would be preparing for global cooling and global warming, instead of perpetrating the fraud of warming in order to line their pockets with our money, IMO.

In America, at least, this is how you know "the game is up." When you are the butt of jokes, you can never be taken seriously by the general public. Al Gore, meet Dan Quayle.

AND, they should take back his Nobel Prize AND his Oscar, too.

There needs to be class-action lawsuits filed by all of the suckers er...people who bought "carbon credits" from his company...however, now they're probably ashamed to admit they bought into this hoax.

And whose fault is that? Who gave our children over to the liberal loon teachers?

Sen. James Inhofe’s grandchildren built an igloo next to the Capitol with a big sign "Al Gore's New Home":

“Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995”

“The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory...”

Actually, if Madoff deserves life imprisonment (and he does), then Algore deserves short stake impalement.

Bernie just wanted your money. Algore wanted that, and to control your life.
