The bluff and bluster of Al Gore certainly doesn’t help their cause.

Why has there not been any tabloid story about why Tipper left Al, after 40 years???

I know Al goes to get those massages, but was Tipper done in by other things? In other words, was Al so involved with Global Warming that he neglected his wife?

Maybe Tipper couldn’t take being lectured by Al about global warming????? It would be interesting to know the real reasons behind their split, and if Al’s devotion to the cause pushed her away.

AGW has always been complete idiocy. When you cannot confidently separate natural climate forces vs man made (if any), then you cannot determine which has the most influence and in what direction. That has always been the main reason why I have never bought into this garbage.

Optimistic!

Just this past week we had two articles seemingly attempting to fan the spark AGW has been reduced to back into the flame it was.

One such article claiming authoritively how an “independent” study by a Berkeley group led by some honorable honorary professional professor has discovered there is truth to it all, and that we must all accept AGW as a fact, and persue that which the IPCC has been promoting, OR WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!

Then came another article from NASA.........

I didn’t bother reading beyond the first couple of paragraphs of that NASA article as IMO it is obvious the two articles are desperation on the part of the Global Warmists.

THEY are still out there shoveling the bull, and until they put down the shovel we have to be on the alert.

"No sensible society would stake its economic future on the word of folks capable of such an error."

No sensible society would take Money from a successful investor (Warren Buffet) to allow some government bureaucrat (DOE) to invest in Energy Companies.

The reason that the global warming myth doesn’t go away is that there is lots of money to be made and certain principles to be destroyed with this deception.

It’s both worse and more simple than Barone presents:

These people start out as anti-industrial, population control fanatics, who seek any means to convert the masses to their cause.
Thus they invent and invoke catastrophe to enlist support.

Global warming is entirely political. A chance to put us all in chains.

The Children's Crusade was something different and may have been the origin of the Pied Piper of Hameln ledged. The best crusade was the nearly bloodless Sixth Crusade where the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and the sultan of Egypt, Al-Kamil worked out a deal. The pope was not pleased.

These same enviro-freaks have succeeded in causing the populace to be obsessed about sorting thru their garbage.

I have never sorted my garbage and never will. One can only think about so many things and I've got much better things to think about.

In 1898 the cavalrymen of the Madhi, ruler of Sudan for 13 years, went into the Battle of Omdurman armed with swords believing that they were impervious to bullets. They weren't, and they were mowed down by British Maxim guns.

An apt metaphor. The AGW alarmists are used to the old weapon of MSM lies and spin. That failed miserably against the growing internet response to such, and they still don't know how to overcome our principled resistance.
