I agree: environmentalism is a cult and Pastor Gore is Chief wWorshiper.
....it’s good that people can scoff out loud at Gore...not that long ago he was the god of global warming.
This story makes me feel soiled. I fold my Macbook in shame and slink from the room.
Well good for Mr. Ehrlich! It takes courage to talk against the Gorebot, esp. in front of so many of his supporters.
At least he said what had to be said, regardless of the outcome of the election.
Al's reelection good reason not to own an Apple
really ? - and your ibm clone running Gates software, or your car company has little to do with politics...what about your cable company...or bank?
I have an apple because it is technologically superior to the IBM clone, & the software works flawlessly
I choose not to live in the 1800's using oil lamps and quill pens

fyi - my boot up was about 20 seconds this morning - i was reading FR while you were still waiting for the cooling fan to start spinning
“I could not stop laughing after the first sentence of “one of the world’s pre-eminent environmentalists “ was read.” How you can tag a politician with zero scientific knowledge or education as a scientist is beyond me.”
Mr. ‘Environmentalist” who lives in a mansion in the most exclusive suburb of Nashville and travels in his own private jet.
“But....the emperor has no clothes.”
Thank You Shelton Ehrlich
Microsoft... We put the MS in MSNBC.
Their “environmentalism” is a religion. No need for scientific credentials.
btt
There seems to be a disconnect with some of the Mac/Green Cult members.
I know a guy, who owns his own business and has been hammered by the enviralist eco terrorists. He despises 0b0z0 and swears he will close his business if 0b0z0 care is passed. With those two exceptions, he is several degrees to the right past me.
Yet he is a card carrying green cult member and Mac zealot.
This disconnect has kept me from becoming a really good friend with him. When we fish together, he has to be told to back off the enviral bs and to zip it. I just laugh at him being a Mac Zealot.
Rush is a Mac Zealot and probably sells more Macs accidentally than most of their spokespeople.
I’d suggest not basing your technology decisions on such stuff. Computers are a tool, get the best one for your purposes.
Besides, Bill Gates is as liberal as they come - either way your money is going somewhere you’d rather it didn’t. ;-)
I’m extremely happy with my Apple products and I’ll continue buying ‘em. Next up, a nice shiny Mac Pro. :-)
Hey, Apple, your Mr. Gore isn’t as PC as you’d like to believe.
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.

[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.

Goron is on the board not because of his, ahem, science credentials, but because he can open for Apple the doors in the swamps of Washington. Duh!
