AGW Skeptics

Have a much better sense of humor than the AGW credulists.

Windpower

If Al Gore just joined forces with fellow Nobel laureate Doris Lessing, I'm pretty sure their combined gassiness could supply at least a Third World country with enough energy for a year.

First an Oscar, now the Nobel Peace Prize

Al Gore:

THE Nobel Peace Prize committee today turned its sights on the battle against climate change by giving the 2007 award to former US vice president Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

...

The prize was awarded "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change", the Norwegian Nobel committee said.

Why don't they just call it the Sanctimonious Swindler prize, after Al and his fellow Democrat, Jimmah Carter? There is a silver lining, though: Bill Clinton must be absolutely steaming.

He certainly has the overheated religious rhetoric down pat

Howard Anglin asks: Is Al Gore like the William Jennings Bryan character in Inherit the Wind--a perennial also ran? Or is he destined to become the next President of the United States?

I'd go with the former.

The new Jesus

Al Gore.

Notice how Gore's physique has inflated along with his prestige among certain people. (Academy Award winner Al Gore!) He looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Only I imagine that in order to destroy him one wouldn't use proton packs but a long lance. After piercing Gore with the lance, a fantastic explosion would ensue sounding like a giant, otherworldly fart and emitting several tons of methane gas into the atmosphere while the mylar shell of algore falls limply to the earth.

Speaking of offensive remarks

I doubt we'll be hearing any apologies from these guys. Al Gore's acolytes know it's OK to attack southerners:

“You really should concentrate on what Southerners do best,” D. Hunter advised. “Sodomizing and impregnating little children!”

“You are the most despicable and pathetic types of people of all time,” Christopher LaBarge declared. “I hope you all die slowly and have your hearts and brains trampled to pieces you small-minded, ignorant, backwoods ideologues.”

Or Christians:

Go f**k yourselves you neo con, non-secular, bible thumpin, anti-science dumb f**k pricks.

...

You bunch of stupid hick red-necks. I am sure you are quite religious, yet you have no problem destroying His creation with pollution; and, rather than addressing that, you cast dispersions [sic] on Al Gore’s home energy use. Absurd.

It's also OK to make anti-gay remarks if your heart's in the right place.

You guys are the faggiest fags I’ve ever come across. How do you get any work done, what with all the c**k sucking and such?

It's like Slavery and the Holocaust combined

Al Gore's "offensive" passion for the environment. Robert J Barro looks at Gore's book, Earth in the Balance.

Gore regards the threat to the environment as so serious and imminent that he likens it to the Nazi Holocaust: ''In the 1930s, when Kristallnacht revealed the nature of Hitler's intentions toward the Jews...the U.S. and the rest of the world [were] slow to act.... Now, warnings of a different sort signal an environmental holocaust without precedent.... Once again, world leaders waffle.... Yet today the evidence of an ecological Kristallnacht is as clear as the sound of glass shattering in Berlin.''

Gore goes on to compare the environmental danger to the injustice of American slavery: ''Most...of the generation that wrote the Constitution were partially blind when it came to the inalienable rights of the African-Americans as slaves.... Today, most...are partially blind when it comes to our connection with the natural world.'' Some people regard this passion as admirable, but I regard it as reckless and offensive.

In any event, the hyperbole is hard to reconcile with Gore's recent support of the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Apparently, during a Presidential campaign, moderating the rise in oil prices is more important than saving the world from holocaust and slavery.

Thanks, Stuart, for the link.

An army of Al Gores

Al's on the march, recruiting hundreds of volunteers to go forth and spread his message.

Gore has trained nearly 1,000 of his foot soldiers to give the same presentation that he delivers in the movie [An Inconvenient Truth]. His disciples, who are required to give at least 10 talks a year, are not just scientists but volunteers from all walks of life including teachers, housewives and even celebrities like Cameron Diaz.

...

During this global-warming boot camp, Gore stands in front of his cavalry for about 12 hours and explains the slide show presentation he gives in the movie. The volunteers are not required to follow a set script, but Gore offers specific advice on how to engage the audience and use metaphors to explain complex scientific information. A scientist on Gore's staff is present during the training to answer any technical questions posed by the volunteers, and a professional speech trainer offers public speaking advice.
