AUSTIN, Texas — Former Vice President Al Gore on Friday called on SXSW attendees to punish climate-change deniers, saying politicians should pay a price for rejecting “accepted science.”

Gore said smart investors are moving away from companies tied to fossil fuels and toward companies investing in alterternative energy.

"We need to put a price on carbon to accelerate these market trends,” Gore said, referring to a proposed federal cap-and-trade system that would penalize companies that exceeded their carbon-emission limits. “And in order to do that, we need to put a price on denial in politics."

but clearly something else is going on

Yep. It is bigger than Soros. Bigger than Saudi's.

We witness the convergence of the Godless Left, Global Fascists and Islamists against the Christians, Jews and Freedom Lovers. Each of the first 3 believe they will win over the other two, but none will. In the end God will prevail and stop this pack of lies.

Every time the Leftist Idiots try to have a Global Warming Conference, it gets snowed out. hee hee hee. Can you imagine the belly laugh God is having watching these Phonies?

So he is pushing to “punish” people for bucking “accepted science” much as they did to Galileo Galilei?

Exactly.

Nobody believes the world’s climate doesn’t change. Man just hasn’t much to do with it, more the sun.

We should stick to especially not polluting our water IMO. After that the rest is not man made IMO.

Al Gore’s speaking/fees contract

That's pocket change compared to the pile of money Apple Computer handed iGore via a very favorable stock option deal.
