AP Interview: Dr. Gray says Al Gore does 'great disservice' by stirring up alarm over global warming

NEW ORLEANS -- Dr. William Gray, the scientist known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster, on Friday called Al Gore "a gross alarmist" for making the Oscar-winning documentary about global warming.

"For someone of his statue (stature), he's a gross alarmist," Gray said in an interview with The Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference, where he delivered the closing speech.

"He's one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he's doing a great disservice and he doesn't know what he's talking about," Gray, 77, said.

A spokeswoman said Gore was on a flight from Washington, D.C., to Nashville Friday; he did not immediately respond to Gray's charges.

With his clutch of papers, simple presentations and off-the-cuff remarks, Gray is a fixture at the annual gathering of hurricane specialists and emergency planners, held this year in New Orleans.

“I’m beginning to think we conservatives should be GRATEFUL that Al Gore has taken up this cause.”

“With his fraud, obvious deceit, hypocrisy and pomposity, Gore has turned what was recently a psuedo-scientific cause celeb into a laughingstock that fewer people take seriously every day.”

If he decides to run as the Green Presidential candidate, the MSM will be forced to expose him as a fraud. The liberals can’t have the Goron sucking votes away in 2008.

If he runs as a green, exposure of the truth re his Gorebull Warming BS will not stop millions of idiots from voting for him.

Like building new refineries, nuclear plants, or drilling for oil domestically?

Those aren't exactly "green" projects. The envirowhackos hate all three of those. Maybe I totally misunderstood the premise of your original comment - or maybe you misunderstood mine.

Gore is unknowingly undermining the environmental movement by proving himself a fraud and a hypocrite, as well as an easy media target. He puts a face to the movement that, til now, has lacked a figurehead. And it's not a very flattering face.

As more and more people figure this out, they will begin to reject the global warming cult and may, in fact, sign off on the energy projects you mention whereas they might otherwise believe the hysteria crowd and think they just need to consume less energy.

Those aren't really green, except maybe the nukes, but they are projects that make sense but aren't likely to happen in a substantial way. There are some projects that are seen as 'green' even though that is not necessarily the intent that get good support now because of the financial angle and to keep and attract investors the market needs some stability...and this stability is threatened by the hype coming from Al Gore. Investors don't want to sink billions into what could prove to be a fad.

Talk to environmentalists. None of the projects you mention they would consider “green” at all. They HATE oil (Cheney, Halliburton, ANWR, etc.). They HATE nukes (or maybe you didn’t live through the 70s and 80s when the same crowd held marches against nuclear power plants). They don’t want new refineries or domestic oil and oppose it at every opportunity.

The greens are into solar power, wind power, hybrid cars, mass transit (for the masses, not themselves), bicycling to and from work (for the masses, not themselves) and essentially opposing the industrial revolution (i.e. capitalism) on the premise that it causes too much pollution and the pollution is irreversible.

That’s their message. It hasn’t really changed in 40 years, only the latest scare tactic has changed - which is what Global Warming is.

By proving to be such a hypocritical buffoon, Gore is showing the GW fad is a fraud. If the zealots were truly serious about the problem, they wouldn’t be jet-setting around the globe and burning precious energy. They would be living quietly in huts eating twigs and berries.

I would never expect the 'greens' to support anything that burns hydrocarbons or even nuclear power although when threatened with new coal plants they back off on that some. They supported wind power until it became big business. They supported biofuels until they became big business. I suspect they will not be in favor of solar much longer either as that is becoming big business also.

You got that right! Has Gore-bachev discovered another way to bring us down without a shot, and subsequently ensured a pubbie win? Go Green Goreby!

My daffodil bulbs have been on hold for 2 weeks, with at least another week to go. We have global warming here. It’s called July.
