Gore: Earth in 'grave danger' Tom LoBianco (Contact)
UPDATED:
Former Vice President Al Gore told lawmakers Wednesday morning that the earth is in "grave danger" and that the nation must break its dependence on oil.
Mr. Gore said Congress must pass a cap and trade bill and increase tax breaks for renewable energy sources before going before the U.N. climate change conference this December to negotiate new carbon-reduction benchmarks.
"Climate change will be increasingly central to our foreign policy and national security, and it will be a focal point of this committee's efforts as well," said Sen. John Kerry, the committee chairman and the Democratic party's 2004 pick for president.
Since losing the 2000 presidential race, Mr. Gore has campaigned extensively for solutions to global warming. After Democrats retook control of the White House in November, Mr. Gore declined to return to public life choosing instead to continue his private work.
In prepared remarks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Gore urged quick passage of President Obama's stimulus package
Sen. Richard Lugar, the committee's ranking Republican, said that while much needs to be done to deal with global warming, environmental activists must address the problems that are already here.
"Too many governments and climate change activists reject scientific advancements in the area of biotechnology that are necessary to address dire projections of declining food production due to climate change," Mr. Lugar said.

With the winter we’re having, how in the h**l can that idiot say this with a straight face???
A dog-and-pony show by Democrats, who have already decided to please their environmental masters - and incidentally get additional billions to hand out so that they can buy votes.
You can save the earth from “global warming” if you keep your pie hole shut Al.

Oh, just shut your cake hole, Bore.
The only “danger” is the one we all face while you are emitting carbon Mr Gore.
I predict that they will wait till summer before they have any more high profile global warming/ climate change hearings.
Don’t blame me...I voted for the old white guy.
That’s ah nice smoker.
DANGER AL GORE JUNIOR! DANGER!

Which weighed more—the “global warming” they had to shovel off the steps to the Capitol, or the bulls**t he spewed once he got there?
Well, the pinheads who have been urging all of us to accept the idea of global warming say that this exceedingly cold weather is all part of it!
They’re never incorrect. No matter what the weather does anywhere, global warming is happening, and it’s all our fault.
And, hence, we have to something about it.
I say, bull durham.
“Former Vice President Al Gore told lawmakers Wednesday morning that the earth is in “grave danger” and that the nation must break its dependence on oil. “
Two completely unrelated issues:
1) True; we need to quit sending so much money overseas to our enemies.
2) False; Human caused global warming is alarmist, junk science, and a falsehood.
He don't believe in globull warming or he would not have more then one home, fly, or drive. If he does believe in globull warming and then takes no personal action to lower his ‘carbon footprint’, what kind of man does that make him?
lol
I WISH I had a scanner...
I have a picture of my sister and I in 1966 - looking completely DWARFED by the shovelled snowbanks on either side of our driveway...
I can put my kids out on my driveway TODAY and get an identical picture.
THATS 43 YEARS of the SAME STUFF, AL!!! The only thing that’s changed is the crooked polititians like YOU trying to make a fortune on your hysteria.
