In 1992 who said: “But the theory of global warming will not be disproved, and the skeptics are vastly outnumbered by former skeptics who now accept the overwhelming weight of accumulated evidence.”
Writing about automobiles, who said, “We now know that their cumulative impact on the global environment is posing a mortal threat to the security of every nation that is more deadly than that of any military enemy we are ever again likely to confront…it ought to be possible to establish a coordinated global program to accomplish the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustion engine over, say, a twenty-five-year period.”
No, it is not President Barack Obama who rescued General Motors from bankruptcy in order to require that it begin building obscenely expensive electric cars that will get you anywhere you want to go so long it’s not farther away than forty miles.
It is, of course, Al Gore and you can read more of his insane ravings in “Earth in the Balance”, published initially just prior to serving as the 45th Vice President of the United States during Bill Clinton’s two terms from 1993 to 2001. In 2000 he was the Democratic Party candidate for President, losing to George W. Bush after an election so close the Supreme Court had to make the final call.
After his defeat, Al Gore apparently decided that, if he could not be President, he could at least become obscenely wealthy by co-founding and becoming chairman of Generation Investment Management, focusing on “sustainable investing.” He co-founded and became chairman of Current TV, a cable and satellite television network “for young people based on viewer-created content and citizen journalism.” Current just hired Keith Olbermann, formerly of MSNBC.

I see some global warming falling outside...guess I need to pick up some Duraflames.
Post of the day, as far as I’m concerned. Thanks!
Excellent summary.
Crazed sex poodle Algore
The Weekly Standard cover for the March 15, 2010 edition...Story:
His credibility has somehow managed to shrink from zero to none.
Will somebody please release Al’s shakra so his credibility doesn’t shrivel up any more?
See #25.
Al Gore should be in jail for fraud.
You mean good old Al? The Nobel Peace Prize winner and inventer of the internet a fraud? I can hardly believe it. How can the green fanatics go on with their jolly green giant’s credibility in the toilet.
He's been getting a bit chubby.
Yaknow...
There was a time in this current generation that anyone who claimed they could control the weather was laughed at and thought mad.
Me too, I remember Algore’s continuous loud sighing as Dubya was speaking.
well hiring Keith Olbermann sure ain’t gonna help it any
I wonder if at a committee hearing Waxman would have asked Al Gore if he is a scientist.
At his age that is probably not the only thing shrinking.......
I seem to remember a similarly-fraudulent corporation that ultimately lost its fight with reality...
Had to dig the car out of the global warming yesterday morning here in Eastern NC. Norfolk, Va is up to 21.8 inches of global warming this winter (normal is about 6 inches). Still have some of the imaginary stuff out in the yard.
