Al Gore: Climate-Change Fight Like Battle Against Nazis
The London Times Via FOXNews.com ^ | July 7, 2009 | Times Staff

Posted on 07/07/2009 8:21:42 AM PDT by NCDragon

Al Gore on Tuesday compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.

The former vice president said the world lacked the political will to act and invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill by encouraging leaders to unite their nations to fight climate change.

He also accused politicians around the world of exploiting ignorance about the dangers of global warming to avoid difficult decisions.

Speaking at Britain's Oxford University at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by the Times of London, Gore said, "Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilization in World War II."

He added, "We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource."

Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany.

There you have it.
We're "deniers" and we're "Nazis".

He’s got it half-right. It is a battle against the enviro-nazis for liberty and economic freedom. He’s just a little off about which side he is on.

He's the Rodney Dangerfield of global politics.

He’s also probably looking onto the horizon and seeing those speaking fees and carbon credit scam dollars disappearing in the near future.

The Nobel Committee couldn’t have more egg on their face over this clown if they worked in an omelette house.

Gore stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars if people buy this crap so of course he sees Climate Change as a battle against the Nazis. Fact is, he’s the Nazi so in a way it is a battle against Nazis (like him). He’s got it wrong way round; reminds me of when Gore claimed his favorite Bible verse is John 16:3 - oh the irony!

Godwin’s law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Mike Godwin, creator of the law.

Godwin’s Law (also known as Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is a humorous observation coined by Mike Godwin in 1990, and which has become an Internet adage. It states: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.”[2][3]

Godwin’s Law is often cited in online discussions as a deterrent against the use of arguments in the widespread reductio ad Hitlerum form. The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular reference or comparison to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the likelihood of such a reference or comparison arising increases as the discussion progresses. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued,[4] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.

Although in one of its early forms Godwin’s Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions,[5] the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.

It is. Gore has it right.

Kommandant Gore and his eco-Nazis against everyone else.

Apt comparison.
Problem is, Gore doesn't realize which side he is on.

Yes AL, it is like the fight against the Nazis, but you and your cohorts are the enviro-nazis.

The climate has been in a period of global cooling ever since Al released his movie. The Earth is now .74 degrees cooler. The temperature has declined more on its own than if we had made all the changes that Al and his friends advocate.

Hitler was also seriously into the occult and used his SS to help him commit his atrocities against God and mankind. I see a lot of parallels, though while he seems to enjoy fame and power, I think Algore mostly worships the almighty $$$.

The battle you spoke of previously is long overdue.

In a twisted way he’s right. Al Gore is one of many climate change nazis we’re fight against.

Actually, it’s a battle by the Nazis (Al Gore and the other global warming Nazis)against reason and logic.

Godwin’s Law.

Al Gore’s even mentioning or bringing Nazis into the ‘global warming’ discussion = auto fail.

We are definitely fighting the enviro-Nazis, like Fat Al, aka ManBearPig.
