We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change (Mega Barf Alert!)
New York Times ^ | February 28, 2010 | Al Gore

Posted on 02/28/2010 9:48:38 AM PST by raptor22

It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.

Of course, we would still need to deal with the national security risks of our growing dependence on a global oil market dominated by dwindling reserves in the most unstable region of the world, and the economic risks of sending hundreds of billions of dollars a year overseas in return for that oil. And we would still trail China in the race to develop smart grids, fast trains, solar power, wind, geothermal and other renewable sources of energy — the most important sources of new jobs in the 21st century.

But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.

We don’t HAVE to wish it away, Al, ‘cause it’s not there in the first place.

We CAN, however, wish that the hoaxers, scammers and extortionists in the communist “environmental movement” were all in prison where they belong.

Al is feeling the heat. He though that Cap and Trade would pass effortlessly and he would become a multi-billionaire, instead of just a millionaire. And its a good thing too. If Gore had the funds, I could see him morphing into a James Bond type villain bent on eliminating humanity to save the environment.

Big Al just can’t stop lying and we can’t stop pointing it out: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2457875/posts

Haha. Captain of the Titanic: “Ignore that bump. Everything’s fine. I swear. I know we’re all a little damp ... but its normal, I promise.”

I’d like to know the results of a Lexus-Nexus search of Al Gore pronouncements that add up the frequency of the phrases “Global Warming” and “Climate Change” over the last 2 years. I’d be willing to bet a large sum that there’s marked difference in the frequency over that period as Global Warming has been shown to be a myth. “Climate Change” as a concept covers any climate event that happens.

We have overcome existential threats before. Winston Churchill is widely quoted as having said, “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes, you must do what is required.” Now is that time. Public officials must rise to this challenge by doing what is required; and the public must demand that they do so — or must replace them.

Oh we're going to do what is required, you defiant punk - count on it.

Would that we could wish away Algore, but he won’t go. The climate changes. Liars lie. Liberals are liars. Anthropogenic warming is liberal science. Liberal science is all about changing the nature of reality by lying about it. Go away Algore.

Well, if algore can "wish" it in, we can sure as hell "wish" it away.

The difference is, algore had to used "doctored" numbers to get it here, to get rid of it, we just show the truth.

They've pulled out all the stops for one, last, plunge into climate nonsense...anything for a tax increase.

Who knew China was a Utopia that we need to emulate? Frack U Al Gore!
