What a load of crap this guy is turning out to be. Nothing more or less than an enviro fearmonger. I guess the usual suspects will be posting their enviro views on us, but at least we listen and give some thought to their side. According the the enviros the Science is in and there is no debate. Hogwash!!!
I'm curious to know what all the people like Radio Host John Moore have to say about this, after talking down to all the listeners that questions what was being rammed down our throats. I expected to call him up and say I told you so, but not this quick (besides I don't listen to him anymore).
As for Gore, he'll have a nice mountain of money to count, so don't think he cares one way or another how he comes out of this.
There is some good that has come out of this, at least peopel are consious of the fact that they do effect their environment.
There is no doubt about Al Gore and his profiting from ecovangelism; but the OpEd is old news and seems to be confused by the word "Global Warming". Is there really a debate that the world is experiencing a change in its climate? Some of the conclusions he has from the climate records are quite disturbing; his only opinion is to tell Al to get a Hybrid and buying carbon credits are sleazy. Did I miss his OpEd on how religious people should not to believe in God because of Jim Baker?
This whole global warming hysteria is big business. They’ve created an entire industry much like the Y2K scare back in the late 90s. We’ve been through this before. The lineups for gas in the 70s, the depleting ozone layer in the 80s are two recent examples.
After the global warming hysteria has proven to be just that – a huge crock - I wonder what the next scare will be in the next decade.
What everybody seems to forget is that the air we're breathing in on a daily basis, especially in the big cities, is killing us slowly. This is not a myth, this is a fact. Just go and visit any hospital emergency ward on a smog day and see for yourself how many respiratory related cases are showing up.
Not to mention that the high percentage of various cancers is most likely directly contributed to the polluted environment (air and otherwise)we live in today.
So let us all do our parts to improve these conditions, never mind the stupid global warming crap.
Argie. I'm a IT consultant with 12+ years of experience. Y2K was a definite threat, especially with older programming languages. A huge effort was undertaken to mitigate what could have been a disaster. To put it simply Argie, you have no idea what you're talking about and I do.
The hole in the ozone is repairing itself; once we stopped using the manmade compounds that went into destroying the ozone, so your point validates the argument against your position Argie. Awareness = Action = Solution
The Y2K hysteria has absolutely nothing to do with man interfering with forces of nature, so what are you saying – the earth’s climate is not changing? It is changing but not catastrophically? The scientists at the US National Academy of Sciences are all crackpots?
I remember gas crisis in the 70s, and if you did, wouldn’t it make you want to be part of a shift away from fluctuating market controlled fuel and replaced by stable renewable energy?
They won't listen. They see someone like Al Gore or David Suzuki and want to bring them down. Regardless that their message is to conserve energy and find more environmentally friendly things to do. They tear down the messenger and ignore the message.
I am still trying to understand why anyone would disagree with using less energy and causing less pollution.
So Al Gore's secret service people drove big cars. As much as I would like to see them use small cars, I doubt that they are very protective.
If you go by the W. Bush mentallity, there is a war on terror and a former VP, Nobel Prize winner and voice in the US would be a huge target for these terrorists and he should be protected.
The article says the AC was blasting inside. I failed to see how this guy got inside the car to check. The car was probably running. I don't doubt that. According to normal bodyguard tactics, the car must be running. It is a risk to turn off the car in case it does not start during an emergency.
I still thet it would be best the keep the car off.
Andrew: You’ve touched on something right there. Half of the people believe the real threat to the world is Islamic terror and the other half believes its global warming. I happen to think it’s the former but I still believe we should all respect the planet by not polluting or treating the earth like crap.
While there may be reliable stats on global warming it still hasn’t been proven conclusively that its mostly man made. If it turns out to be man made, the world’s biggest polluters China & India have to reduce their carbon emissions if the western world (the great evil according to the UN and the lefties around the world) does.
I agree that China and India need to decrease pollution. There is no question there. But just because they refuse doesn't mean the US and other should refuse as well. I am not push Kyoto or anything else. Just common sense.
But the point is by attacking Al Gore and refuting his message of decreasing pollution it is doing a disservice to society. Much like how people attack the Catholic Church due to a few bad priests but disregard the common message of peace and love.
"Much like how people attack the Catholic Church due to a few bad priests but disregard the common message of peace and love."
Good point Andrew. Except, my skepticism about man made global warming is not caused by the antics of Al Gore or even David Suzuki. I’ve read and heard opinions on both sides of the issue and have concluded the debate is still open – the jury is still out.
Well Argie, even Bush and Harper recognize climate change is happening, don't they.
You remind me of one of those people that smokes & when you say "smoking kills you" they reply "that's a lie, my grandma smoked 2 packs a day for 50 years" Ignoring the 500,000 other people that died from lung cancer
Irvine; While I appreciate your passion for the stand you take on this global warming debacle I think a little research on your part would give you some insight to the other side of this debate; will find that there are some very good articles which show just how closed minded and single minded and wrong the Al Gore ,David Suzuki types are.I agree that taking care of the planet is our responsibility but,when I see a person like Gore shooting of and refusing to debate this topic makes one wonder how much is a scam and how much is for real. I think and open debate with all the information on the table would be good for all. Just one thought, why are the European countries now starting to run away in droves from from the carbon tax, and the governments of these countries worried that they may be in for a hard time come next election? Steve
Irvine: You use a great example to prove my point – thanks!
The fact that there are some people who have smoked 2 packs a day for 80 years proves that smoking does NOT ‘kill you’. It does increase your chances for lung disease but it is not a guarantee that the smoker will die from cancer (as most people seem to think).
While it has been concluded that smoking will cause cancer, technically there is not a definite link between the two. If there was, you wouldn’t have the example you gave, would you?
Did you know that, (before the slow down of the US economy) the US produced 25% of the worlds carbon dioxide emissions? No, Argue, the West ain't that bad, eh?

Slam dunk, Irvine!!!!
Like I said Argie, the enviro's have a very closed mind. No debate possible.
They won't listen. They see someone like Al Gore or David Suzuki and want to bring them down. Regardless that their message is to conserve energy and find more environmentally friendly things to do. They tear down the messenger and ignore the message.

Yes Mike and the US made up over 50% of the world’s economy. Anymore stats?
