Copenhagen targets not tough enough, says Al Gore
Robin Pagnamenta, Energy Editor
Even if a deal is reached at the UN climate change talks in Copenhagen next week it will only be the first step towards the far more radical cuts that are needed in global carbon emissions, Al Gore, the former US Vice-President, told The Times last night.
Mr Gore said that to avoid the worst ravages of climate change world leaders would have to come together again to set more drastic reductions than those now planned.
Even a final treaty will have to set the stage for other tougher reductions at a later date, he said. We have already overshot the safe levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.
He insisted that the present goal set for Copenhagen of stabilising world emissions of carbon dioxide at or below 450 parts per million enough to prevent a rise in average global temperatures of no more than 2C was insufficient and a safer target would be 350 parts per million.
Are we doing enough? The answer is obviously no 450 is not the right target. But it is presently seen as beyond the capacity of governments around the world. We are stretching the capacity of governments even to hit a 450 target.
We are gambling with the future of human civilisation in accepting odds that by any definition make our present course reckless . . . But its still the most likely path to success.

Alive and kicking, or (metaphorically) dead and twitching??
The “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” pronouncements by the GW Alarmist Fanatic Community are ringing pretty hollow these days....
Pages on major news sites containing the word "climategate":
Thanks to Google or other search engines, you can easily see how a story is promoted/reported... or not.
The MSM can decide what is news, and they have unambiguously decided that Climategate is definitely not news - or rather, not news they wish to report.
This test searches a number of leading news sites for the term "climategate". This test is quite revealing, for on the left-wing sites where it appears - which are very few - it is either in an opinion column, where it is somewhat laughingly disparaged or in a blog comment that somehow escaped the notice of the censors.One might argue that they may use a different term for the fraud, which is, perhaps a fair observation... however, for that reason, the "Huffington Post", was included. "The Huffington Post" is a left-wing Liberal site/forum/blog where the term 'climategate' has been published THOUSANDS of times by left-wing bloggers - all of which makes it more conspicuously absent from thousands of stories published daily by the MSM. The Huffington Post left-wingers are using the term frequently and very freely amongst one-another - but you would never know that such a term even existed if you relied solely upon the MSM for your news and information.
See the chart above which shows actual numerical results according to Google site searches done earlier today (Dec. 4th, 2009).
Using Google, you can do a simple test to immediately expose such blatant press bias by searching each site individually for the term, and simply counting the number of results pages.
For example, to search CNN for the term "climategate" simply type the following into Google and see:
site:www.cnn.com climategate

Foreign Media
As you can see by the chart, non-US media seem less reluctant to touch this story.

This clown reminds of a global traveling salesmen who is selling carbon credits instead of patent medicine.
Did he phone this in from his Gulfstream on the way to his 40 room mansion?
He has gazillion carbon credits for himself. Enough to offset carbon emission from his jet for 100 life times.:-)
Can someone please lock this piece of sh*t up in Guantanimo and waterboard the motherf*****r?
Some call it "a dead cat bounce". :)
al doubling down... I hope we put his fat ass in jail one day.

When they finally do drag him off to the nervous hospital, he’s still be babbling about warming and ice caps etc.
Al Gore and Tiger Woods canceling appearances at their own events. Both have similar reasons.
Thank you “WE ARE CHANGE” and Alex Jones...
