Won't be fooled again.

Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize winner, successful documentarian, vice president to liar and philanderer-in-chief Bill Clinton and phoniest human on planet earth has sucked you in hasn't he? He points and shouts and gets red in the face and blames you and anyone to the right of Karl Marx for global warming while his immense Tennessee estate could house 6 families comfortably and wastes more energy than the entire country of Lichtenstein.

A few pointers about Al Gore; he extorted money from Buddhist Monks in California during the second Clinton presidential campaign, he used a room in the White House to make campaign contribution calls (illegal), he remained silent during the discovery period of Clinton's impeachment when he could have shed important light on Clinton's perjury and cover up charges. When his sister died from lung cancer (this one really gets me) he vowed to bring down the tobacco companies but was the single biggest recipient of tobacco company donations for 7 straight years! Frikkin' hypocrit, lying bastard. Oh here's another one, in his first year as VP Gore was forced to make his tax records public. It was discovered that he, Tipper and the girls didn't donate one single dollar to charity the previous year. Oops. His next tax return showed some charitable contributions. Think of the slimiest, most dishonest used car salesman you can conjure up and Al Gore will top that guy, by a magnitude of ten.



This is the guy who is so beloved by the Hollywood glitterati and limousine liberals of every ilk that he makes tens of thousands of dollars just to appear at their dinner parties. I don't care for this guy. The Inconvenient Truth film is so rife with misstatements, exaggerations and outright fabrications that any kind of serious googling will get you thousands of scientists only too happy to refute this guy's sophistry. In fact, in Britain kids can't watch the film without being warned of its bias ahead of time.

My head isn't in the sand on our need to conserve our natural resources. I helped build a 40 foot wooden cross covered with symbols of pollution and helped raise it in downtown San Angelo, Texas 34 years ago on the first Earth Day. Try that in a conservative Texas town decades before it became hip to be environmentally conscious. I actually thought I was going to die that night as we were constantly threatened by redneck sheepherders as they circled our site .

But the warming thing is a big lie and a corner of this site will have regular links to help support my understanding of this gross exaggeration. Look at both sides of the issue and you come away realizing that it's all smoke, mirrors and media manipulation. Let's accelerate alternate energy methods such as solar, wind and fuel cell and dust off the nuclear plants again. I'm all for it. We can't sign on to treaties like the Kyoto treaty if China and India two of the world's biggest polluters are given a free ride because they are considered developing countries. What?

The scare tactics - drowning Polar Bears (not one polar bear has drowned and the polar bear population has tripled since 1900) intensified hurricanes (last 2 years have been the least intense and least frequent) rising temps (since 1998 temps have not risen and may have dropped .1 of a degree F) hottest year in the 20th century? 1934. Ali G, wrong again. This is the same guy who claims to have invented the internet!

I saw this coming...

"The real reasons for climate changes are uneven solar radiation, terrestrial precession (that is, axis gyration), instability of oceanic currents, regular salinity fluctuations of the Arctic Ocean surface waters, etc. There is another, principal reason—solar activity and luminosity. The greater they are the warmer is our climate."





In that Earth Day era of 34 years ago the headlines read "Beware of Global Cooling" it was predicted that most of Canada would be uninhabitable by now from the cooling of our environment from pollution. People bought that for about 2 years and realized it was gross exaggeration. In my opinion, it was this media generated panic that later proved to be wrong that spawned nuclear power plant generation and eventually a love for the SUV. Frankly, I worry that as global warming is further debunked people will return to an even greater habit of over consumption. If we spent more time educating people about; the rapid depletion of natural resources, the despoiling of our rivers and lakes by pollutants (including pharmaceuticals that are creating all sorts of havoc) the fact that using carbon based fuels are doing more to directly harm us (birth defects, asthma, cancers) than indirectly harm the planet (which is far, far more resilient than our species, sorry Al) we might expect a sweeping change in the way we view energy use.

You don't need over hype and lies. You need better and consistent messages to the masses for real change. See seat belts and smoking. Al Gore is an idiot snake oil salesman who will ultimately do far more harm than good. His personal wealth has skyrocketed, does that tell you anything?

I wonder why it is that the hypocrisy of the left bothers you so much more than the hypocrisy of the right. I also wonder where you are getting all of your information about the hypocrisy of the left. Could it be from websites supporting... the right? You may want to cite your sources rather than contribute to googleable bile about various human beings.
