The Day The Earth Cooled

Environment: The solar wind is slowing, but Al Gore is still spewing hot air. The Oscar winner is promoting civil disobedience to stop energy and economic growth as the first U.S. emissions cap-and-trade program begins.

Speaking before Bill Clinton's Global Initiative, junk science advocate Gore called on young people to take the law into their own hands because the climate, he claims, is a-changin'. He told the gathering in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the climate crisis" and the time for action is now.

"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore said to loud applause.

His comments come two weeks after a British jury acquitted six Greenpeace activists accused of causing property damage at a power plant. The jury felt the "protest" was acceptable because the "protesters" feared the plant would contribute to global warming.

Luddites of the world, unite!

Sept. 23, 2008: In a briefing today at NASA headquarters, solar physicists announced that the solar wind is losing power.

“The average pressure of the solar wind has dropped more than 20% since the mid-1990s,” says Dave McComas of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. “This is the weakest it’s been since we began monitoring solar wind almost 50 years ago.”

No need to worry about the Earth cooling off. The Chinese and the Indians will spew out enough CO2 to keep the temperature from falling too much.

Besides, we will always have Al as a source of hot air.

"The four major agencies tracking Earth's temperature, including NASA's Goddard Institute, report that the Earth cooled 0.7 degree Celsius in 2007, the fastest decline in the age of instrumentation, putting us back to where the Earth was in 1930.

Holey Moley!

Beam me to Planet Gore !

It may already be happening. The four major agencies tracking Earth's temperature, including NASA's Goddard Institute, report that the Earth cooled 0.7 degree Celsius in 2007, the fastest decline in the age of instrumentation, putting us back to where the Earth was in 1930. The climate is changing, but not in the direction Al Gore thinks.

Liberals never let facts get in the way of their beliefs.

Why don’t you get yourself arrested for your righteous cause, Al? Why depend upon naive youth to make fools of themselves for you? Are you going to advocate suicide bombings next?

Al sounds kind of grumpy, like it’s a bad week for his stock portfolio.

Love the headline. I am wearing two sweatshirts right now and two pairs of socks. I normally don’t do this until mid October! So much for Global Warming.

Gore is an idiot. We are all fortunate he was never our President.

[princeofdarkness]

If he is talking on stage about having government fighting “global warming”, he should be booed off the stage and tarred and feathered for good measure. He’s got zero credibility especially with Dems causing this crisis.

[rightwingcrazy]

So now carbon emissions are affecting the Sun? Oh, bother!
