Former Vice President Al Gore appears before a House Energy Subcmte. hearing on Global Climate Change. He’s joined by Professor Bjorn Lomborg, author of a book titled, “The Skeptical Environmentalist.” Gore will also appear later today before the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee.
WEDS., C-SPAN3, 9:30AM ET
It is a religion after all.
Gore now saying that health care reform is connected to solving global warming...(rolling eyes) Getting to the real agenda now and it's called socialism!!
An appeal to emotion could be classified as the "Red Herring" argument, but it may not be entirely inappropriate. The one distinction between relevant and fallacious appeals to emotion is based on the distinction between arguments which aim to motivate us to action, and those which are intended to convince us to believe something. Appeals to emotion are always fallacious when intended to influence our beliefs, but they are sometimes reasonable when they aim to motivate us to act. What needs to be assessed is the thrust of the argument. When we feel strong emotions, we want to do something, but we need good reasons to believe that the something we do will be effective.
I'm unclear about the appeal to commaradie. I am aware, however, of what is called the Bandwagon Fallacy. This is a Red Herring argument (appeal to popularity, consensus, of the many, or Argumentum ad Populum). That P is popular is irrelevent to the conclusion that P must therefore be true.
IF he starts off with two Red Herrings, then we're in for an entertaining speech. The point of a "red herring", aka Irrelevent Thesis argument, is to distracts the audience from the issue in question through the introduction of some irrelevancy. This frequently occurs during debates when there is an at least implicit topic, yet it is easy to lose track of it. By extension, it applies to any argument in which the premisses are logically irrelevant to the conclusion.
Return after lunch for further testimony from other people..
So, there may be some opposing testimony..
Ed Whitfield (r) Kentucky
from a real scientist. Most of the Dems will probablynot return.
The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away...
Or maybe in this case, it goes the other way. LOL
Is Barton going to ask A Gore when the 10 year clock to annihilation began???
so now that "Global WARMINGING" (aaaaa the sky is falling) has been debunked, they switch to "climate change"
Algore came across as a nutcase and snake oil salesman.
Al Gore says he doesn't recognize the quote from his own book!!!
He never endorsed his 10 year statement. LOL
Until a year ago. So I guess we've got 9 years to annihilation.
Al is backing away from the 10 year statement--except that he now says he made it starting last year based on scientists he trusts--Hansen from NASA.
Al is explaining the science again. What we need is a real scientist sitting next to him to debunk what he says.
So I need to get a new calendar, or a new copy of Earth In the Balance????
I'm so confused. But still sane compared to manbearpig. Ain't saying much is it??? LOL
Or Mr. Garret to translate. ;-)
WGST, AM 640.
If Greenland goes. If Antartica goes. The end of the world is near --according to Al Gore.
Of course its socialism.
Gore is telling us that disease is going to be widespread. Coastal cities are going to be wiped out. Crops will fail and people will starve!!!
BUT... we can't bother China and India, because, Algore tells us that traditionally we have left third world economies alone. It doesn't matter that they are half the problem.
