We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change (Mega Barf Alert!)

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.

This idiot is in typical liberal transference and denial. It is time to take this prick down. Who is saddling who with burden you criminal bastard?

Big Al is concerned about the children.

Yo! Al, yo wanna see some pissed of muslims? Take away the one thing they have of worth.

Please fix SEARCH. This is the sixth post today, probably because searching via “wish” returns “no articles”.

He is a complete HYPOCRITE and has NO shame! He needs to be prosecuted for FRAUD. What a POS.

Al Gore you could cure Global Warming by closing your mouth.. you GAS BAG!

There was an earthquake in Haiti, and now a much bigger one in Chile! What more proof of global warming do you need?

Let everyone see it.

This sumgun is on the ropes

Let it go, Al. Haven't you made enough money off of this scam yet? The only enormous calamity in global warming is people like you subverting science to pursue economic and political goals.

. It is also worth noting that the panel’s scientists — acting in good faith on the best information then available to them — probably underestimated the range of sea-level rise in this century, the speed with which the Arctic ice cap is disappearing and the speed with which some of the large glacial flows in Antarctica and Greenland are melting and racing to the sea.

So it aint happening but the ice caps are urgently racing to the sea?

Because these and other effects of global warming are distributed globally, they are difficult to identify and interpret in any particular location. For example, January was seen as unusually cold in much of the United States. Yet from a global perspective, it was the second-hottest January since surface temperatures were first measured 130 years ago.

Whether it is hot or cold we are going to need energy. But, that is the one thing Al and the other climate change nitwits don’t want, affordable energy. Their only goal is control of the masses, and, the fewer of those the better.

The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States. Just as it’s important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm.

LOL I love that line.. I quote it frequently when I hear politicians saying dumb things. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball.

“Remember the story: we’re newlyweds on our way to Earth Capital.”

[mylife]

LoL!

Who said the baseball bit?

What astounds me about Gore is his tenacity.
Most Pols say dumb stuff from time to time but this guy persists because he is evil and he really thinks he is putting one in on us.

Here is what scientists have found is happening to our climate: man-made global-warming pollution traps heat from the sun and increases atmospheric temperatures. These pollutants — especially carbon dioxide...

Carbon... that very thing that makes life on our planet possible. The thing that every living organic thing on the planet is composed of is a "Pollutant"

Geez I wish I could go to school to learn to be a jackass like Al Gore.

Maybe if I take that toastmasters course at the community college....

You have to admire the jerks hutzpah.
