Algore…the charlatan, the snake oil salesman, the buffoon, the over-bloated bullshit artist and the LOSER of 2000. He should just shut up and retire to his “carbon ass-print” in Tenne-freakin-see.

He’s a frigging journalism major fer chrissakes! He has as much business interpreting scientific data as Ozzie Osborne has doing heart surgery! Why does anyone listen to the buffon?

When you want to make a single person change their behavior (e.g., quit drinking/drugs, lose weight or save money), the most effective means is to inspire them. Give them a positive goal, get them to focus on it intensely and cheer them in their action as they pursue that objective.

On the other hand…

When you want to make TENS OF MILLIONS of people change their behavior…you scare the living shit out of them. You TERRORIZE them. You make them horrifically afraid of the consequences of not subscribing to your own brand of action.

Cancer won’t do it. PCBs and mercury in the fish won’t do it. COMPLETE AND UTTER GLOBAL CATASTROPHE is the ticket of the day. You call up Jerry Bruckheimer and ask him “What would pass for a ’scientific’ reason for the end of the fucking planet?” and then you whip up a BS documentary along the lines of Loose Change and tell everybody that their days are numbered.

In another era, assholes like Gore would be stuffed into a sack with a rabid badger and thrown into the River Bosphorus.

What a dick.

Of course he did. I’m just waiting for him to blame the Galveston hurricane of 1900 on global warming. Why not, eh? Some 15,000-ish people died and the whole city of Galveston, TX was utterly devastated New Orleans-style. That sort of thing only occurs because of global warming, right?

Walter Williams of Townhall.com recently posted:

1968: Paul Ehrlich (Gore’s hero) forecasted 65 million Americans will starve to death between 1980 - 1989 (oh yeah, and England would be nonexistent in 2000)

1969: Enviros warn of “new ice age” as “likely source of wholesale death & misery for all mankind”

1970: Senator Gaylord Nelson in Look magazine “somewhere between 75% and 85% of all species of living animals will be extinct.”

1975: The Environmental Fund claims “The world as we know it will likely be ruined by 2000″

Why would we think enviro alarmism is anymore correct now than then? They certainly don’t have a record to be proud of. But then again, maybe it’s not about the environment. Let me just ponder a guess,could it be about power and money? Oh yeah, since Gore’s involved, add “ego (I just wanna make my daddy proud)” to the list!

Absolutely! I vividly recall being in high school science class and listening to our (obviously left-wing alarmist) teacher tell us that (1) there will be NO petroleum in 20 years and that (2) acid rain will make EVERY lake and pond in North America Sterile by 2000.

Always the “ticking clock.” I still respect science, but scientists seem like a pack of grant-hungry Chicken Littles. When will they learn?

“… people die in Rangoon because of an SUV in Richmond, Va. …”

Now why didn’t somebody just say it like that before now??
Where do I sign up??

Beware of fat fucks with personal carbon footprints the size of a third world country.
