Global Warming/Goracle update - Eco-Nanny roundup

Published by Karl under Global Warming, cantwell, eco-nanny, gore

I haven’t taken the time to put together a round up of the Enviro-nitwit Supreme and all the other fun, so now seems like a good time.

I do want to note one thing though, and that is the I am retiring the phrase “eco-nazi” from the blog, except in rare occasions.

I decided that the term “Eco-Nanny” instead.  It seems to fit the “we know what’s best for you” mentality that so many of these idiots seem to favor.

With that in mind, let’s see what’s going on.

First up is the Mighty Alarmists Supreme, the Grand Goracle, the mighty Al Gore, the biggest nanny of them all.

Al has taken on a new target for his science-less propaganda:  Bloggers.

Gore pushes environment with activist bloggers

Former Vice President Al Gore made a surprise appearance Saturday at the Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of nearly 2,000 left-leaning bloggers and political organizers. He urged the activists to mobilize for global climate protection by amplifying his call to generate all the nation’s electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar and geothermal in 10 years.

The latest in Global Warming News: The Comedy and the Politician’s Solution

Published by Karl under Global Warming, Idiots, MSM, OTA, gore

First up is NBC’s green campaign that sent Matt to the snow, Al Roker to the Equator and turned off all the studio lights during the news.

NBC Goes to ‘Ends of the Earth’ to Explore Climate Change

In what the Today show billed as a “first,” anchor Matt Lauer — shivering in the bitter cold — reported live from the Arctic Circle, correspondent Ann Curry reported live from Antarctica and weatherman Al Roker was live at the equator.

“An incredible broadcast from three extreme locations,” Matt Lauer said at the top of the show. He also admitted he was “freezing my you-know-what off,” as he reported live from a boat off Greenland.

Lauer said the Today show would bring viewers “stunning images” as well as information “that’s going to make you stop and think about the state of our planet — how we’re treating it and how it’s going to treat us.”

Hot Air posted some video and a couple of intriguing observations:

Another unhinged Rosie? Sad but True

One of my all time favorite TV shows is the 80’s and 90’s sitcom Roseanne.

Roseanne when it came out could have been a portrait of my life.  At the time I was not well off financially, and was dealing with a lot of stress and unhappiness with laughter and sarcasm.

It was one of the first sitcoms to portray what life for most working class people was like:  A struggle with highs and lows. It also, as Roseanne Barr notes in her DVD commentary, clearly showcases the disconnect in class in America.

But.  One of the things I do struggle with is Roseanne herself, the actress, the comedienne and the activist.

I perused her blog and was shocked at how she can flip from crazy to wacky in no time at all.

Here are some examples from Roseanne World.   WARNING:  EXTREME LANGUAGE AHEAD

Global Warming Irony: Al Gore Sucked at Science

Published by Karl under Global Warming, gore

I admit it means nothing, but it is a cute bit of irony.  My Environmental, Al Gore nearly flunked Natural Sciences at Harvard. 

Al Gore Got a D in Natural Sciences at Harvard

Want to know why Nobel Laureate Al Gore likely doesn’t want to debate any of the myriad of scientists and politicians that have challenged him to such a tête-à-tête regarding his manmade global warming theories?

Could it possibly be because Gore was a terrible science student, and clearly never excelled at anything relating to what folks in Norway and in the media consider him to be so expert at?

The following was reported by the Washington Post on March 18, 2000 — and conveniently ignored by media ever since Gore began lecturing the world about subjects he practically flunked as a student! — in an article marvelously titled “Gore’s Grades Belie Image of Studiousness” (h/t NBer dscott, and tangentially Greenie Watch):

For all of Gore’s later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year.

Do you know who Irena Sendler is? You should.

Published by Karl under Global Warming, OTA, gore

She was an activist of Polish Underground and Polish anti-Holocaust resistance in Warsaw, a courageous woman who was responsible for saving the lives of 2500 children in the brutality of Hitler’s regime.

During the early 1940’s was a Catholic social worker who had gone into the Warsaw ghetto to rescue Jewish kids who were destined either to starve there, or die in death camps. She would sneak the kids past Nazi guards, sometimes hiding them in body bags, or would provide them with false documents - inevitably getting them to Polish families for adoption, or hiding them in convents or orphanages. She also made a list of the children’s real names, put them in a jar and buried them, so that some day she could dig them up and find the kids to tell them their true names. 

Arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo, she was severely tortured and sentenced to death. She was saved her by bribing the German guards on the way to her execution. Officially, she was listed on public bulletin boards as among those executed.

Even in hiding, she continued her work for the Jewish children

No Surprise: Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize For lying about Global Warming - AM UPDATES

Published by Karl under Global Warming, OTA, gore

As predicted by me since earlier this year, Al won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in scaring the hell out of people about Global Warming while lining his pockets selling useless carbon credits.

That’s the reality of what happened, like it or not.  Al who has his fingers in Apple, Google and the investment firm that makes huge profits on Carbon Credits, used a lie and inaccuracy filled mockumentary as a launch pad to instill groundless fear in people over something we cannot control.

I’m disgusted, but no more then I was in 2000 when he went on his robotic mission to count all democrat votes in Florida.  Apparently the Nobel Peace Prize is not what it used to be.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1007/6316.html

Vice President Al Gore was named joint winner of Nobel Peace Prize Friday for his dogged – now celebrated – work to bring attention to the environment.

Gore shared the $1.5 million prize with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The victory is likely to increase calls from a fragmented but vocal group of backers for him to make a late entry into the 2008 presidential race.

Analyzing Al Gore and the 2008 election

Published by Karl under Fred!, OTA, gore

For a long time now I have been watching Al Gore and waiting for him to make his move on the presidency.

He is the perfect choice for an October surprise candidacy.  He has more name recognition then practically any other candidate on both sides.

First, he is a former Vice President, and frankly the only one still living with any real electability.  He is the world’s more recognized (self proclaimed) expert on Global warming, and continues his campaign despite the fact that more and more elements of his movie are shown to be misstatements, distortions or outright fiction.  Let’s not forget that his movie is an Oscar winner, and even if the Oscar was not awarded to him, he is still the one most people remember as being the Oscar winner because of his prominence.

Add to this the Honorary Emmy he will be awarded in a few months for his contributions to broadcasting, and the fact he is the leading candidate to win a Nobel Peace Prize and you have a man with all the credentials, recognition and popularity, despite having no intellectually honesty, ethics or scruples regarding his environmental mission.

The Goracle’s bad day part 2- An Inconvenient Son

Published by Karl under gore

I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news this morning.  Al Gore III, the son of Eco-Alarmist Al Gore was busted in Southern California.  His Hybrid car was a bit TOO green:

Al Gore’s son arrested on drug charges

Al Gore’s son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs after deputies pulled him over for speeding, authorities said.

Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over at about 2:15 a.m., Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said.

I pause to admit I was impressed that he managed to take that little eggbeater car up to triple digits.

The deputies said they smelled marijuana and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said.

“He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs,” Amormino said.

Apparently marijuana green is too green.  PETA would be happy, it is completely animal product free.

Global Warming Surprises: We’re Number 2 and Global Cooling is looming…again

Published by Karl under Global Warming, OTA, gore

We’re Number 2! We’re Number 2!  We’re Number 2!

China overtakes U.S. as top polluter 

China has overtaken the United States as the top emitter of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, because of surging energy use amid an economic boom, a Dutch government-funded agency said on Wednesday.

Other experts have estimated that China will only surpass the United States in coming years. The rise to number one emitter may put pressure on Beijing to do more to help a UN-led fight against global warming.

“China’s 2006 carbon dioxide emissions surpassed those of the United States by 8 per cent,” the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency said in a statement. In 2005, it said China’s emissions were 2 per cent below those of the United States.

This comes as yet another blow to Al Gore’s lie-fest movie, where he was heard to gravely pronounce that China is “on the cutting edge of environmentalism”…yea, they figure out how to pollute way better then us.  Now that’s cutting edge.

But don’t worry alarmists…it is still not only our fault as a nation, but our responsibility to fox it.  Why?

The religion of Al Gore

Published by Karl under Global Warming, gore

In her most recent book, Ann Coulter makes the case for Liberalism as a religion to Liberals.  While I admit the notion is inflammatory, her argument is interesting in that she equates the practices and elements of a religion to the practices of liberals and the elements of liberalism, and she makes a good parallel.

As she says:

“Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as ‘religion.’”

Now in fairness, a lot of that could be equally directed at any ideology, but in the case of liberals she is correct that liberalism contains several elements common to religion, particularly in the environmental arena.

  • Dogma, or a system of principles or tenets.  It is prescribed, and authoritative and violation of that dogma can cause you be labeled a Heretic.  This is particularly true in Global Warming and Environmentalism, where questioning the holy tenets is unthinkable.
