Al Gore’s Incredible Shrinking Climate Change Footprint

Yet there’s no denying the Gore organization is significantly smaller in size and scope than when it first launched. Back then, the Nobel laureate aimed for a “blitz as sweeping and expensive as a big corporation’s rollout of a new product,” according to a 2008 60 Minutes segment on Gore’s early efforts. Press coverage at the time noted blanket coverage by the group’s signature ads featuring unlikely political allies: Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson in one spot, Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich in another. The ads appeared on American Idol and across prime-time television.

Now, discussing their efforts online, Gore staffers say the effort isn’t smaller — the group has just found its “niche,” said Dan Stiles, the chief operating officer of the Climate Reality Project, in a wide-ranging interview with BuzzFeed on the organization’s history. “I don’t think what we’re doing right now is any less expansive than what we were doing before,” Stiles said. “We’re not narrowing the blitz, but we’re doing it in a digital space.”

If you're not going forward, advancing, you're going to end up devolving.

Now, discussing their efforts online, Gore staffers say the effort isn’t smaller — the group has just found its “niche,” said Dan Stiles.

What do you mean by saying the effort isn't smaller-the group has just found its "niche"

To say Global Warming is a niche, to say Global Warming has found its niche, is quite preposterous. A global movement, a global belief finding its niche is quite laughable.

Yeah, that's what they always say when things aren't working out quite right. They found their niche, at the bottom of some landfill.

Maybe Mrs. Gore ate too much chicken, when pregnant with Manbearpig.

I had an idea and I wrote about it
The idea caught on and I lobbied for it
I rode the wave for some years getting fantastically wealthy
Then people began to drop off
we went on line
we've found our niche

There ... wasn't that a lot easier than going through 1400 paragraphs ?

Last January, Al Gore took a boatload of scientists, donors, and celebrities to Antarctica to talk about climate change.

Was the Poodle trying to be funny? January? Really? You take a trip during the Antarctic Summer to prove...WHAT?

[golux]

Got fat on lies
‘bout climate highs
then cashed in, wise
to the inevitable demise.

joined more than 100 other paying guests — Gore’s handpicked best and brightest — on the National Geographic Explorer

Damn, where is Al Qaeda when you need them?

I just picked up a copy of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC August 2006 issue with the gloom and doom title “No End In Sight KILLER HURRICANES. (Big picture of a hurricane seen from space.)

Inside there is a “we are all gonna die” type article with this headline.. SUPER STORMS No end in sight. “We’re 11 years into the cycle. I can’t tell you if it will last another ten years, or thirty”.

Now, eight years after Katrina and Rita, just how many of these superstorms have hit the US!

Sandy was barely a low class hurricane but came ashore at high tide, with two Nor’easterners blowing down on her, and came ashore at the most populated spot in the US.

When has the left ever let facts get in the way of their dogma? Let’s call it what it really is - the Global Warming movement... I know they changed it to climate change after realizing it was not getting warmer, but these people were all certain the Earth had a fever.

Go back and read the ludicrous statements made by these clowns. The preposterous predictions that never came true. Arguing with these fools is the modern version of ancient men who could not convince the flat-earth crowd that the world was round. They are one world government proponents who don’t know the first thing about science - they want control. The scariest part is that there are so many human beings incapable of applying the scientific process for themselves. If they did, they would realize that the Sun drives our climate and everything else is irrelevant. If they did, they would study the motives of Gore and his elitists minions who know nothing about science.

I will give credit where credit is due - no illusionists in history has made more money out of his craft than Gore.

The only thing more ridiculus that this would have been if the boat was called the “Minnow” and it was a 3 hour tour.

For some insight into the seriousness of the energy debate a person could simply observe the actions of the US congress.

In a frenzy over the hype of Algore's movie they actually tried to force the purchase of those crappy squiggly light bulbs that are already being done away with by most users and suppliers.

Subsequently, in a move more fairly designed the congress passed a law granting valuable tax credits for verifiable energy reduction.

The 179D energy credits were actually a good incentive for insulating, reducing energy use and conserving fuel. But, it also let businesses keep some of their money.

So .... you guessed it - the program is being dropped at the end of the year.

When government actually does something good, they figure out a way to kill it.

He doesn’t need all those people, lobbyists and campaigns.

Nearly everyone, and I do mean almost everyone, has bought into the lie.

Think about it. Do you have ‘recycle bins’? Do you still use roll-on or rub-on deodorant, instead of the more convenient, let alone more hygienic spray? Do you still fill up with ethanol blend? Buy curly light bulbs?

I’ll bet within an hour we could come up with a 5,000 item long list of “Al Gore’ forced life choices we no longer have. And that would only be the start. Think coal.

The useful idiots are carrying his water. He’s easily won round 1.

National Geographic has become a joke. Nothing but a propaganda rag. Check out their latest pile of lies:

There was a failed pol named Al Gore
Who turned science reports to folk lore
He stole cash like a thief
Selling lies as belief
But then fizzled out as a bore

[Alas Babylon!]

What a pile of rubbish.

No mention of Climate-gate, the UK emails from the East Anglia University Marxists who admitted to lying and shaping data to fit the theory, and all the scandal that in my opinion, drove a stake thru Gore’s climate warming heart. And then the last two horribly cold winters in Britain, with a famous satellite photo showing the whole island frosty white, turned all Gore’s posturing on its ear. Much of the push for carbon credits and other Ponzi schemes dried up then, too.

The whole thing has been abandoned by the “This is so silly, what were we thinking, now moved on to something that’s trendy this year” crowd.

We’re getting close to the end. More than 7 years ago Rush Limbaugh put the countdown clock until the end of time when everything ends in firery doom.

As of the time I’m posting we have only 2 yrs, 144 days and 2 hrs 16 min left. It may already too late. Only The Messiah can save us. (By executive orders bypassing Congress).

you win

[jonno]

One ongoing effort, “Reality Drop,” helps activists post boilerplate comments to blog entries written by climate change skeptics.

And there you have it - agitation as an "effort"...

All I know is lies
But I made lots of money
It cost me my soul
