Al Gore on Global warming, climate change and Carbon offsets

The Great Global Warming swindle

Global warming hysteria, the new eugenics

By Henry Lamb

Monday, August 13, 2007

The BP oil company ads on television are, or should be, enough to make you never buy another drop of British-Petroleum gasoline. The farmer-type guy who stands there and talks about how wonderful it would be if you could grow a crop that you could convert to fuel to put in your tractor to plant next year's crops - is disingenuous, deceptive, and disgusting.

Save the Environment--from school dunce Al Gore

By Judi McLeod

Thursday, August 9, 2007

If Al Gore were in Professor Tim Ball's classroom, he wouldn't be bringing his Report Card home.

Gore's Oscar-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth will return to class when youngsters return to school next month.

"They are showing his film in schools when I would give it an "F" even as a Grade X assignment," says climatologist Ball.

Gore needs a lot of work on the subject of man-made Global Warming, but his biggest boo-boo comes from his well-publicized definition of C02.

Al Gore's head in wrong kind of clouds

By Judi McLeod

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

Bubba's buddy Al Gore's got his head in the wrong kind of clouds.

While Gore works to rid the world of Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb, while leaving his well-lighted Tennessee mansion looking like the proverbial you-know-what, a giant toxic cloud in Asia may bring floods and droughts to some two billion people.

There are storm clouds gathering around Gore's contention that greenhouse gases are the main culprits in destroying earth, as we know it.

Made-in-China massive air pollution ignored by global warming gurus Al Gore & Maurice Strong

By Judi McLeod

Friday, July 27, 2007

China, LA smogYou'll never hear this from global warming guru Al Gore and Canadian sidekick Maurice Strong: Massive dust plumes from China fouling air breathed in North America, are causing dramatic changes in climate.

China, in the proverbial doghouse for exporting tainted food for humans and pets, is also sending pollution of nightmare proportions through the air that we breathe.

"An outpouring of dust layered with man-made sulfates, smog, industrial fumes, carbon grit and nitrates is crossing the Pacific Ocean on prevailing winds from booming Asian economies in plumes so vast they alter the climate." (The Wall Street Journal, July 20, 2007).

Al Gore no competition for The Great Canadian Outdoors

By Judi McLeod

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Having declared the science of climate change "well and truly over", the Tides Foundation ( www.tidescanada.org), in partnership with the Ontario government, is sending thousands of public high school students home for summer break with a DVD copy of Al Gore's Academy Award-winning An Inconvenient Truth.

Three hundred and two high schools, 140 eco-schools, and 72 school boards in Premier Dalton McGuinty's Ontario were recipients of the DVDs, which are a gift from donors to Tides Canada's Climate Change Solutions Fund, which funds strategic solutions to climate change.

In April, Tides Canada donated DVDs of the film to all 477 public high schools and 60 school boards in British Columbia, making BC the first jurisdiction in North America to have the film distributed to all public high schools.

Greenpeace pirating Noah's Ark for global warming

By Judi McLeod

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Ageing Greenpeace hippies have made a brilliant discovery: There is money to be made making like Noah of Ark fame and in exploiting the Bible.

Al Gore having co-opted church pulpits in making global warming the new religion and April being colder than expected, new angles to spread the global warming gospel were needed.

Enter those Peter Pans of the Seas, Greenpeace activists.

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Climate-Controlled Classroom?

By Steven Milloy, www.junkscience.com

Monday, May 14, 2007

Should schools teach the global warming controversy by showing students only Al Gore's alarmist movie? Roger Williams University just learned the answer to that question the hard way.

So, where the term 'global warming' come from.......? We made it up!

By Bud Clydesdale

Tuesday, May 8, 2007

This planet has been here over four billion years. We've been here for a hundred thousand. We've been engaged in heavy industry for two hundred years. Two hundred as opposed to 4.5 billion!

Are we really so conceited and arrogant that we believe some plastic bags, a bunch of aluminum beer cans and light bulbs are going to put this globe into jeopardy?

Dr. Sheryl Crow's Ingenious Plan to "Wipe Out" Global Warming

Satire By John Lillpop

Thursday, April 26, 2007

Who would have imagined that the svelte, beautiful, and musically gifted

Sheryl Crow would be capable of profundity of intellect not witnessed since Albert Einstein passed?

Indeed, who in their right mind would have consulted with the good Dr. Crow in order to find a solution to the global warming crisis that threatens all life forms on earth?

From the Pew to the Pulpit: Inside the Church of Global Warming

By Paul A. Ibbetson

Friday, April 13, 2007

Al Gore, Maurice StrongWalk carefully, I say unto you, for thou art on holy ground. This was the rude awakening that I received when I entered the global warming debate. It would also be the warning that I would forward to anyone wishing to enter the debate over the validity of man made global warming. I stepped into this discussion after watching the similarities between the scare tactics of the global warmers and what I had seen of the scientific community's certainty of global cooling back in the 1970s. When ex-vice president Al Gore started saying, in a time of war, that global warming was a more important issue for us all to focus upon than international terrorism, I placed even more focus on the issue.

Is classroom Global Warming preaching indoctrinating the next generation?

By Dr. Tim BallNatural Resources Stewardship Project

4/9/07

Do you know what your children are learning in school about climate change? Have you ever looked at their textbooks? Is it education or indoctrination? How accurate are the facts? How much is it an ideological or a political message? Is it a balanced curriculum offering options or one imposing a singular view? How much is fear the vehicle of indoctrination?

Senator says 'Truth' encourages skepticism

Not easy being Green

Posted on EPW Blog

Friday, March 23, 2007

It's not easy being green. Just ask former Vice President Al Gore.

While the newly anointed Oscar winner has made what Katie Couric called a "triumphant return" to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Gore was tripped up by a simple question from Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe. Late into the hearing, Inhofe showed Gore a clip from his film, "An Inconvenient Truth." The clip challenged the audience with this question: "Are you ready to change the way you live?"

If Gore is Right...
I'm Henry the VIII, I am!

By J.B. Williams

Friday, March 23, 2007

Liberals prefer the religion of science, scientist saviors and nutcase professional failure Al Gore as their prophet... As for the rest of us, a good dose of common sense reality will keep the fruitcake fear-driven global nightmare freaks away.

Gore refuses to take personal energy ethics pledge

By EPW Blog

Thursday, March 22, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC -- Former Vice President Al Gore refused to take a "Personal Energy Ethics Pledge" today to consume no more energy than the average American household.  The pledge was presented to Gore by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, during today's global warming hearing.

Forcing Global Warming Nightmares on Children

By Tom DeWeese, American Policy Center

Thursday, March 8, 2007

The amount of propaganda poured into the heads of little children in the name of education is astonishing. Case in point: I just received a letter from a little girl in elementary school asking why I don't believe in global warming. She said her class had watched Al Gore's outrageous propaganda file, "An Inconvenient Truth," and then her letter began to spew all of its incredible inaccuracies. She was writing to me because she wanted to know why I didn't believe in global warming.

An Ice Age versus Global Warming

By Alan Caruba

Monday, February 26, 2007

The latest summary of yet another revised edition of a report by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control has evoked all the usual fears predicting the deaths of millions by 2080, and other end of the world scenarios.

Global Craziness

By Nathan Tabor

Thursday, February 22, 2007

This week--perhaps emboldened by the groundhog predicting an early spring--Old Man Winter came roaring back, blanketing much of the nation with a sheet of ice. In fact, a number of residents of the Midwest and Northeast felt as if they were living in a new Ice Age, thanks to a thick coat of ice that brought vehicular traffic to a standstill.

Global Warming - Population Transfers Ignored

By Dick Field

Thursday, February 22, 2007

A few commentators have expressed grave concern that the continued importation of millions of immigrants to Canada, the UK, the USA and northern Europe contributes to an ever increasing urban sprawl and the consequent destruction of vital agricultural lands. Even Canada's huge land mass cannot support the density of human occupation that its size would lead one to believe. Most of Canada's land mass is virtually uninhabitable. Compatible cultural integration is also becoming a cause of concern.

Let's see if we can come up with some important priorities for the security of the United States and the growth of its economy. Well, number one is surely the protection the nation against any further attacks by Islamist fundamentalists. Clearly this has been successful to date. It will remain, however, a constant concern for decades to come.

Keeping a cool head amid warming hysteria

Global-warming doomsayers were out and about in a big way recently, but the rain came in central Queensland, then here in Sydney. January also was unusually cool.

A lighter look at global warming and other prophecies of doom

By John Clements

Monday, February 19, 2007

This article appeared in 'Investigate' in NZ in February this year

'As I was going to the fair,
I saw a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today,
Oh! how I wish he'd go away'.

So, approximately, goes the little ditty I learnt long, long ago. It seemed 'right' then. But now one sees the flaw in the logic. It took a while! It's a faulty premise leading to an illogical conclusion. Yet perhaps one can, in one's imagination, 'see things that aren't there'. If you really, really, want to believe someone or something you can. Just as some people believe in those that profess to talk to the dead, some folk hypnotize more easily than others, and some reckon there are UFOs. But why do they have to 'fly' and be 'objects'? It sells better - that's why.

Global Warming? Journalism? Don't Make Me Laugh!

By Alan Caruba

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

As a very young man, fresh out of college and the army in the mid-1960s, I found myself employed as a rookie reporter on a weekly newspaper in New Jersey. I had never taken a course in journalism in my life, but I could write. The managing editor of the newspaper group that serviced a number of communities taught me all I ever needed to know about journalism. He taught me to be skeptical of everything and everyone.

The Creeping Fascism of Global Warming Hysteria:
Man-made orthodoxy is a dogma of coercion, bias, and junk science

By Paul Joseph Watson, Propagandamatrix.com

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

The hoax of the doctrine of man-made global warming that is being foisted upon the world by decree, and the junk science that is manipulated to support it, represents a creeping fascism whose agenda to stifle open debate betrays the fact that climate change hysteria is a farce intended to crush freedoms and further centralize global power.

Cutting through the climate jargon

By Timothy Ball

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

New Environment Minister John Baird remarked that it was unusual to not be wearing boots in January in his home town of Nepean. How true -- there aren't many back yard rinks in Eastern Ontario right now either. But it is also true that it is unusual to wear boots in Victoria where I live -- and yet that has been a necessity many times in the midst of the record cold we have been experiencing.

Inhofe Praises Czech President's Courage in Confronting Global Warming Fears

Climate Skeptics Vindicated as Growing Number of Scientists & Politicians Oppose Alarmism

By EPW Blog

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Washington, D.C. -- Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Environment & Public Works Committee, congratulated Czech President Vaclav Klaus for speaking out against the fears of man-made global warming. Klaus told a Czech newspaper on February 8, 2007 that fears of catastrophic man-made global warming were a "myth" and critiqued the UN IPCC process, calling it a "political body." Klaus also said other government leaders would speak out, but "political correctness strangles their voice."

Global warming ethics, pork and profits

Global warming alarmism generates political and financial incentives

By Paul Driessen

Wednesday, February 7, 2007

The ink has barely dried on its new code of conduct, and already Congress is redefining ethics and pork to fit a global warming agenda. As Will Rogers observed, "with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law. And every time they make a law, it's a joke."

U.N. Report: Humans are to Blame for Global Warming

By EPW Blog

Wednesday, February 7, 2007

GIBSON: The big debate now, are humans to blame for all this extreme weather. Well that's what a new United Nations report on climate change tells us. Not only are scientists saying they believe global warming is man-made, they're also saying it's now too late, it's all unstoppable. But the global warming debate has gotten so ugly now, some people are demanding that anyone who doesn't believe in these theories of climate change should be punished. Is it a legitimate point of view to question if these extreme weather changes are really a product of man-made global warming?

Economic suicide for Europe and the US

Climate alarmism threatens intense pain, for no environmental gain

By Paul Driessen

Tuesday, February 6, 2007

Europeans have worked themselves into such a lather over "climate chaos" that they've set themselves up for a head-on collision between eco-ideology and economic reality. With the new Democratic Congress poised to ram through heavy-handed climate legislation, the US may be heading down the same path.

Should We Believe the Latest UN Climate Report?

By Dennis T. Avery, Hudson Institute

Tuesday, February 6, 2007

The UN Climate Change panel is asserting—again—that humans are overheating the planet.  Again, they have no evidence to support their claim—but they want the U.S. to cut its energy use by perhaps 80 percent just in case. Stabilizing greenhouse gases means no personal cars, no air-conditioning, no vacation travel. Nancy Pelosi says one-third of the Senate want this too. 

Global Warming Hypocrisy

Monday, February 5, 2007

As the news poured forth about the devastation wrought last week by a huge storm that swept across central Florida, I wondered to myself how anyone with any common sense could think that humans are responsible for the weather? Responsible? We have zero control over these events. And yet...

Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts?

By Timothy Ball

Monday, February 5, 2007

What would happen if tomorrow we were told that, after all, the Earth is flat? It would probably be the most important piece of news in the media and would generate a lot of debate. So why is it that when scientists who have studied the Global Warming phenomenon for years say that humans are not the cause nobody listens? Why does no one acknowledge that the Emperor has no clothes on?

MIT Climate Scientist Calls Fears of Global Warming 'Silly' - Equates Concern to "Little Kids" Attempting to "Scare Each Other"

By EPW Blog

Friday, February 2, 2007

MIT's Richard Lindzen called fears of manmade global warming "silly" and debated PBS's Bill Nye "The Science Guy" and the controversial Weather Channel host (Here:) Heidi Cullen on last night's Larry King Live. At one point, CNN host Larry King cautioned Nye against making a bet with Lindzen over who was correct about the science of global warming.

We're Doomed. What's for Dinner?

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

On Sunday, Jan 28, the front-page story in my daily newspaper was "A chilling conclusion on global warming." By Tuesday, the front page story was "Climate Study: Millions will go hungry and dry." Soon more revelations about a United Nations report on climate change, due in April, will be in the news, but let me tell you its conclusion. We're doomed.

Weather Channel Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics

By US Senate Environment and Public Works

Thursday, January 18, 2007

The Weather Channel's most prominent climatologist is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which skeptics were compared to "Holocaust Deniers" and Nuremberg-style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.

Global Warming on Steroids!

By Alan Caruba

Wednesday, January 3, 2007

On December 4, then Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a statement protesting the lifting of a presidential moratorium protecting Alaska's Bristol Bay from oil and gas exploration. Rep. Pelosi had to reach back to the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989 to find a reason why this energy-rich area should not be opened to exploration.

Geo-engineering to save planet

By Klaus Rohrich

Wednesday, December 27, 2006

It's like one of those really bad black and white science fiction movies of the 1950s. The world is in danger of being destroyed. Particles that have mysteriously appeared in the atmosphere are heating up the planet and threatening to incinerate all life. The media is in a feeding frenzy. The populace is hysterical. Debate rages on what to do about these invasive particles; how to save the world. A thoughtful, pipe-smoking scientist conducts experiments in how to best attack the problem and in a flash of brilliance comes up with a solution: build giant cannons that fire millions of tons of an antidote into the atmosphere to reverse the impending doom. The planet is saved, life continues.

What green activists don't want you to know

By Senator Inhofe

Friday, December 22, 2006

I write to applaud your Dec. 4 editorial "Global Warming Gag Order." I also read with interest the responses from your readers ("Senators' 'Chill Out' Letter to Exxon Creates a Heated Reaction," Letters to the Editor, Dec. 13). As chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for the past four years, I have held several hearings examining the fears of manmade catastrophic global warming, and I have spoken publicly on this issue more than any other senator.

Two More Global Warming False Alarms

By Dennis T. Avery, Hudson Institute

Saturday, December 16, 2006

The global warming debate has developed a pattern: In part A, a scientist makes a scary claim and gets headlines for himself, and his funding source, across the known world. In part B, a few months later new evidence blows the scary claim away—but with no press coverage of its demise.   

The Global Warming inquisition and the suppression of "skeptic" heresy

By Tom DeWeese, American Policy Center

Thursday, December 14, 2006

Imagine living in a world where no one is allowed to think independent thoughts or take independent actions. Only pre-approved human response would be acceptable. To break the rule and engage in forbidden thought would result in terrible retribution, perhaps leading literally to one's destruction.

Climate McCarthyism and Eco-Inquisitions

Censoring news and views to advance ideologies and legislation

By Paul Driessen

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

Two centuries years ago, Voltaire proclaimed, "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it." Today, our free speech traditions are under assault.

Colleges prohibit "offensive" or "politically incorrect" speech. Radical Islamists threaten to kill scholars, artists and even popes who "disrespect" the Prophet. And when we desperately need unfettered scientific debate, intolerant eco-activists have ushered in an era of climate McCarthyism and eco-Inquisitions.

The false premise behind climate change

By Vasko Kohlmayer

Saturday, December 9, 2006

Energized by the latest election results, the global warming community is getting ready for a major push to stop what is referred to as climate change. Claiming that it represents a major threat to our survival, they argue for tough laws to contain the ecological calamity that is allegedly unfolding even as we speak. At the center of their legislative efforts will be Barbara Boxer, the incoming chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. A fierce environmental crusader, Ms. Boxer has already promised ‘a very long process of extensive hearings.' It is to be hoped that among the many dire scenarios that will undoubtedly be painted, someone asks this simple question:

Inhofe says global warming media hearing exposed alarmist media

By US Senate Environment and Public Works

Thursday, December 7, 2006

WASHINGTON, DC -- Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Chairman of the Environment & Public Works Committee, said today's hearing about the media and climate change revealed that "Scare tactics should not drive public policy."   The hearing's purpose was to examine the media's presentation of climate science and featured scientists and media experts.

Can British Wine Grapes Resolve a Global Warming Question?

By Dennis T. Avery, Hudson Institute

Thursday, December 7, 2006

British wine grapes are suddenly in the midst of the global warming controversy.

Historic records tell us that Britain grew wine grapes 2,000 years ago during the Roman Warming, and 1,000 years ago during the Medieval Warming. Since 1300, however, Britain has been too cold for wine grapes. The debate: Is human-induced warming  boosting British temperatures to "unnatural" levels, or is the gradual warming a repeat of previous cycles?

New UN Children's Book Promotes Global Warming Fears to Kids

By US Senate Environment and Public Works

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Nairobi, Kenya -- A new United Nations children's book promoting fears of catastrophic manmade global warming is being promoted at the UN Climate Change Conference in Kenya.  The books main character, a young boy, is featured getting so worried about a coming manmade climate disaster that he yells "I don't want to hear anymore!" The new children's book, entitled "Tore and the Town on Thin Ice" is published by the United Nations Environment Programme and blames "rich countries" for creating a climate catastrophe.

Global warming: a taxing problem

By Klaus Rohrich

Friday, November 10, 2006

If you're still arguing that global warming caused by human-produced "greenhouse gasses" is mankind's greatest threat, then chances are you've lived under a rock these past few months. Certainly, there is evidence that surface temperatures on earth are on the increase. But some of the catastrophic side effects of this warming remain as elusive today as they were when scientists first raised the alarm.

The real climate change catastrophe

Misguided energy policies are harming the world's poor

By Paul Driessen

Wednesday, November 1, 2006

Our planet is again warming slightly, and the weather keeps taking unexpected turns. Many scientists say this is hardly unprecedented, cause for alarm, or proof that humans are now the dominant factor in climate change. Others disagree strongly, and point to every snowstorm, hurricane, deluge or drought as proof that urgent action is needed to avoid imminent climate catastrophe.

Why Isn't the Atmosphere Warming Like the Earth's Surface?

By Dennis T. Avery, Hudson Institute

Friday, October 13, 2006

The Greenhouse Theory says the atmosphere above us should warm faster than the Earth's surface around us. But this doesn't seem to be happening. For example, compare California temperatures in the state's central farming valleys with the readings on the Sierra Nevada Mountains just above them.
