Al Gore lays blame for Bali stalemate on U.S.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore drew cheers at 190-nation talks by saying the United States was the main block to launching negotiations in Bali on a new global climate treaty.

Efforts to start two-year negotiations on a pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol flagged on Thursday, the ...udge the outcome.

Gore stole the show in Bali after two days of lengthy ministerial speeches which had waxed on familiar themes about the urgency of action to slow global warming and the need for cooperation.

...

"There's no precedent in history, culture for the radically new relationship between humanity and the planet," he said, citing new evidence this week that the North Pole may be ice-free in summer as soon as 2012.

I’m more ashamed of our country that we produced a moron like Al Gore.

Of course they would cheer anyone who would bash the US and this piece of human debris does it all the time.

Al Gore is the type that - if stupid enough to enter a beginning algebra class - is told by the diligent instructor to consider going into politics. He was, and he did.

Hey Al, if you REALLY want to do something about “global warming”, why not keep your yap shut. Everytime you speak, the hot air emanating from it raises the temperture.

America-bashing will go over real well at home. I've had it with our country being blamed for problems that aren't even our fault! If Algore thinks this builds him credibility with the American people, it doesn't. Americans don't like to see their country ganged upon abroad.

“America-bashing will go over real well at home. “

Wonder what would happen if someone came out with ads with clips of Hillary, Obama, & Edwards backing Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” and then cutting to this speech?

He’s gotta be off his meds. If not he needs to get on some quick, and some pretty strong ones.

We all live on the same planet. Surely, there's room for a different opinion. But not in the universe Algore inhabits.

The Inconvenient Truth Al Gore Hopes You Forget!

So, I wake up this morning to hear Al Gore has won an Oscar for trying to save the world!

Then I went out and shoveled 18” of his global warming out of my driveway.

First question: Why didn’t he do anything to try to save the environment during his 8 years as Vice President and how many years as a senator?

Some say the Vice President has no power, can’t make policy, blah, blah.

Next question: Then why was he able to pull off selling one of our few oil reserves at Elk Hills in California to his big oil buddies at the expense of the environment and fuel reserves. This story was widely reported, but that was 10 years ago. How soon we forget.

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=468

[snip]Occidental’s planned drilling of the Elk Hills doesn’t only threaten the memory of the Kitanemuk [Indian tribe}. Environmentalists say a rare species of fox, lizard and the kangaroo rat would also be threatened by Oxy’s plans. A lawsuit has been filed under the Endangered Species Act. But none of that has given pause to Occidental or the politician who helped engineer the sale of the drilling rights to the federally-owned Elk Hills. That politician is Al Gore.

Gore recommended that the Elk Hills be sold as part of his 1995 “Reinventing Government” National Performance Review program. Gore-confidant (and former campaign manager) Tony Cohelo served on the board of directors of the private company hired to assess the sale’s environmental consequences. The sale was a windfall for Oxy. Within weeks of the announced purchase Occidental stock rose ten percent.

That was good news for Gore. Despite controversy over Dick Cheney’s plans to keep stock options if elected, most Americans don’t know that we already have a vice president with oil company stocks. Before the Elk Hills sale, Al Gore controlled between $250,000-$500,000 of Occidental stock (he is executor of a trust that he says goes only to his mother, but will revert to him upon her death). After the sale, Gore began disclosing between $500,000 and $1 million of his significantly more valuable stock.

Nowhere is Al Gore’s environmental hypocrisy more glaring than when it comes to his relationship with Occidental. While on the one hand talking tough about his “big oil” opponents and waxing poetic about indigenous peoples in his 1992 book “Earth in the Balance,” the Elk Hills sale and other deals show that money has always been more important to Al Gore than ideals.

Pandering to anti-Americanism worldwide has won him the big prize, the Nobel Peace Prize. What’s left for him to win, other than speaker’s fees and international acclaim? I don’t think the Lenin Prize is still awarded.

Well of course he’s furious. He’s expecting to make millions from this scam and the US is queering his pitch.

The more Fat Al runs his mouth, the more thankful the American people are that he never made it to the Presidency.

The more he emulates co-laureate Jimmy Carter, the more the American people give thanks--that they were wise enough to throw Jimmy out of office after one term and to keep Al out altogether.
