Missionaries, what’s next, bikes, ties and white shirts?

“the head of the University of Texas’ academic conference center”

‘Nuff said, the University smells money. Disgusting!

Good point—as a person that makes a decent living studying climate change, I can assure that the climate changes all of the time—whether man is present or not. The most startling thing that the Right Reverend Gore believes is that we can actually stop climate change. Does the name Don Quixote come to mind? Standing in front of the Tsunami and willing the waters away? Reverend Gore doesn't give a damn about the climate; he is into power and money (the root of all evil!)

"You guys need to think about what we're going to do with water," he told a dozen lawmakers and staffers as they tore into roast beef sandwiches and chips.

Shouldn't they be eating insects and weeds they catch and pull themselves? Roast beef and chip production spews a lot of CO2.

IMHO, anybody who watches any movie more than 50 times is either a real slow learner—or needs to get a real life!

I would feel more comfortable being around someone that watches reruns of Pee Wee Herman’s Play House for several hours a day than I would be around this guy.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

That wasn’t a documentary. It was a commercial.

And they say drugs are a victimless crime! I have come to believe that the reason they called it “getting wasted” is that it results in so many wasted, less than productive lives.

[Arrowhead1952]

There are plenty of wasted people in Austin. I read the letters to the editor and 90% are liberal, Bush and Republican haters.

the Climate Change Project, a program in Nashville, Tenn., that trains people to present the slide show featured in the movie

Do they get capes and learn how to pronounce "Excelsior!"?

What else do you expect from “Moscow on the Colorado” or the “Peoples Republic of Austin”.....

[P-40]

Not to mention what happens when you import most of California. :)

“Hunt is among the dozen or so people in the Austin area, including Mayor Will Wynn, who essentially are Al Gore apostles.

“Along with nurses, schoolteachers, ministers and scientists from across the country, they paid their way to Tennessee and paid for their lodging, and in return are given an electronic version of the PowerPoint slide show — which is full of nifty maps, graphs, photos and tips for cutting down on greenhouse gases — and trained for free in how to spread Gore’s Truth. (The City of Austin paid for Wynn’s ticket to Nashville.)

Altogether, more than 30 Texans are among about 1,000 people from across the country who have received the training, according to Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for the program. “

Man, Oh Man: this is so reminiscent of the Moonies and other cult groups.

“-—He took the science out of the scientific data-—”

You’re right: this is really golden - shows how poorly people (including some scientists I know) are dealing with this issue now.

[Jonx6]

I hadn’t seen that.
Thanks.

[P-40]

I wonder if Leslie got invited to attend. He talks to a lot of people....and that is the type they are looking for, right? :)

[Mr. Peabody]

Who pays for this program?

[P-40]

I think the participants do.
