Gore used to tout reinventing Government, now he wants the Government as intrusive as possible into our lives.
Bumpety bump.
Maybe it's just a cool cat.
It's not Gloabl, but Universal warming, with the news that Mars & Pluto are warming, too. Clearly my SUV has nothing to do with other planets warming.
It really is just another scheme of the libs in "science" and academia to milk grant money out of the taxpayer....right out of their play book.
Great article.Rhetorical question:Does Al Gore really believe this "global warming" bull@hit?I assume he's basically using this as an attempt to remain relevant. When i hear other(supposedly intelligent)people beating the global warming drum i have to ask myself are they in on the con or just usefull idiots.
The government would dole out what bureaucrats think we should have.
If this were all that there is to it, there would be no panic or even controversy. The absurdity of the proposal alone would condemn it to ridicule and oblivion.
The part no one seems to talk about (except in world summits and workshops by the parasites) is "carbon credits". THe average person is not even aware of this, and is woefully unequiped to understand it even if he were eager to grasp the concept.
As I understand it, carbon credits are a device to obfuscate. Its relation to actual CO2 is theoretical and abstract, which makes it a handy tool for the monumental scam. For example, if a gigawatt of electricity is used by the technologically advanced countries by means of hydroelectic generation, it is converted to the equivalent amount of coal required, and the perpetrator is assigned that much "carbon use" - bad. Presumably, that would be true of solar-generated power too.
Here's where it gets byzantine. The producers of the world (rich) use way too much "carbon credits" compared to the useless non-producing (poor) countries. There is a fundamental unfairness in some minds about this. So, to set things right, the producer (rich) countries will be obligated to pay the poorer countries for the carbon credits that they are entitled to, based on population, that they don't actually use.
Bottom line, Kyoto is a huge wealth transfer proposal based on arbitrary definitions and a phony construct of the real world.
If Kyoto prevails, and 100% of the US energy is produced without burning a single gram of anything, the US would still be penalized trillions of dollars for exceeding the "carbon equivalent" some NGO parasites have determined is "fair"
How can such a monumental scam possibly succeed?
Let the jerks who believe this.....set the standard and change THEIR lifestyles --- FIRST..
Semper Fi
I suggest they immediately move into an 600 square food concrete foot structure. With a little help from solar panels on the roof, a pit toilet, recycling, and composting the happy couple they might be able to stay within their carbon budget.
And of course, they will have to avoid all traveling methods using fossil fuel.
And I'm looking forward them simplifying their wardrobes. After all hemp clothes and sandals make such a nice fashion statement. And certainly Tipper and Al don't want to waste out precious water resources by changing clothes every day or week.
I wonder how many "carbon allowances" Al Gore uses up to maintain his 4,000 sq. ft. house in Virginia, a 10,000 sq. ft. mansion in Tenessee, and fly around the world in a private jet.
I tend to agree with the overall premise of this article, but a couple of things don't fit. Assume the "Al Gore propaganda machine" limit of 1-ton per person is true and it gets its way. (That limit) X (6 billion people) = 6 billion tons; twice the amount that the author says is emitted now.
Does corn ethanol in fuel increase oil use and profit?
bttt
There go the private jets for trips to Davos.
