Global Warming and Al Gore – Having his Steak and Eating It, too!?!
  • PETA is attacking Al Gore because he eats meat, and in their eyes eating meat makes Mr. Gore an hypocrite in the environmental crusade against global warming. According to PETA Vice President Bruce Fridrich: “Mr. Gore likes to be thought of as an environmentalist steak-and-potatoes kind of guy, but there’s no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist. He needs to confront the ‘inconvenient truth’ that meat production is the main [...]
    • How Did Al Gore Miss THIS?
  • The BBC is reporting that the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has discovered that fat people (sorry…I mean obese individuals) are partially responsible for global warming. I’m thinking that maybe Al Gore can update the information in “An Inconvenient Truth” when he puts out the inevitable director’s cut. I guess when I go on a diet I can now official declare that I am NGG “nutritionally going green!”  [...]

    • Global Warming NOT an Absolute Certainty? Who Knew?!?
  • UN meteorologists are reporting that in 2008 global temperatures should be cooling. Huh? How is that possible?

And because warm ocean waters fuel hurricanes, that temperature rise was predicted to increase hurricanes. The models, however, also [...]

    • Al Gore…Thy Name Be Chicken Licken

    Scott on December 15, 2009 at 11:15 am

    “The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!” shouted Chicken Licken.

    “Mankind is causing global warming!  Mankind is causing global warming!  We’re doomed unless you buy my carbon offsets!”  shouted Al Gore.

    Chicken Licken, of course, is the character in the old children’s fable who is POSITIVE that the sky is falling and that disaster is imminent.  The poor chicken runs around in a panic, insisting to everyone that the sky is falling.  But in the end, Chicken Licken is wrong.

    Enter Al Gore…the Chicken Licken of the environmental community.  Or perhaps we could call Mr. Gore the Professor Harold Hill of global warming.  Or maybe the snake oil salesman of climate change.

    Whatever.

    The short of it is that Al Gore is done.  His credibility is on a downward slope similar to the path recently taken by the popularity of Tiger Woods.

    The latest blow to Gore’s credibility came yesterday in Copenhagen when, during an impassioned speech, he said that new computer modelling suggests there is a 75 per cent chance of the entire polar ice cap melting during the summertime within 5-7 years:

    “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

    Unfortunately for Mr. Gore, the scientist he chose to mention in this speech said nothing of the kind.  Said Dr. Maslowski:

    “It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at…I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

    When confronted with Dr. Maslowski’s rejection of his  assertions, the Gore people admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

    Oh, really?  So you mean the 75% figure isn’t “fresh” meaning recent?  It was a ball park figure from years ago?  How did Gore get “several years ago” confused with “fresh?”  Or did Gore just assume that nobody would bother checking?

    Given the increasing lack of support for the whole man made global warming schtick, AND given the recent stories related to suppression of dissent regarding data that contradicts global warming proponents, it is interesting that Mr. Gore would try to pass off as “fresh” and certain information that was, several years ago, simple speculation by an individual climate specialist.

    To quote a famous person, “The debate is over.”   Al Gore is done.

    Oh, wait!  I guess it was Al Gore who said that!

    What a coincidence.

      Given the increasing lack of support for the whole man made global warming schtick,

      The increasing lack of support is irrelevant. It’s either happening or it isn’t. An increasing number of people choose to reject Christ’s message, but fortunately (except on wikipedia) truth is not determined by a public vote.

      It’s still true that the majority of experts on the subject think that AGW is genuine. It’s tragic that they are unable to convince more average joe’s of what they believe.

      Hmmm… Realize that I am not disputing whether or not global warming is occurring. I think it is happening to a certain degree, and I think that most people believe it is happening as well. My reference to the “schtick” is a direct reference to the insistence/hysteria/dog-and-pony-show/claim that man is responsible for it.

      I agree that the majority of experts agree that GW is genuine, but I don’t agree that the majority agree that humanity is the root cause or one of the root causes. And considering the embarrassing info that recently came to light about the suppression of evidence showing just how much the warming has tapered off over the last decade or so, it seems as though even the apparent majority may have been duped along with the rest of us.

      Al Gore should ditch this environmental subject alltogether and stick with creating more things on the Internet. After all, everyone knows what a computer genius this guy is.

      The finding that the climate has warmed in recent decades and that this warming is likely attributable to human influence has been endorsed by every national science academy that has issued a statement on climate change, including the science academies of all of the major industrialized countries.[22] With the release of the revised statement by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 2007[23], no remaining scientific society is known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate change.[24]

      Environmental groups, many governmental reports, and the non-U.S. media often state that there is virtually unanimous agreement in the scientific community in support of human-caused global warming. Opponents either maintain that most scientists consider global warming “unproved,” dismiss it altogether, or highlight the dangers of focusing on only one viewpoint in the context of what they say is unsettled science, or point out that science is based on facts and not on opinion polls.
