Hoisted on his own Petard
by Jim on Dec.14, 2009, under Politics
This article from the Times Online, shows what happens when a pompous, self aggrandizing, blowhard continues to play the world’s expert on climate change. He is a charlatan and someone who finds it convenient to hide behind pseudo- scientific mumbo jumbo to confuse his eager followers. Me thinks however that the bloom is coming off the rose or the wheels are coming off the wagon. In any case, it is about time that the press is challenging the outrageous claims of this snake oil salesman. I hope it is not too late.
Inconvenient truth for Al Gore as his North Pole sums don’t add up
Grave Danger

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good about things. I was rested and healthy , and the sun was shining. Little did I realize what perilous straits I was in. For in just an hour I would be told by the worlds biggest self promoter, Albert Gore Jr, that the earth was in grave danger.
I remember grave danger from the movie “A few good men” where Tom Cruise asks Jack Nicholson ( Col Jessup) if when he said danger, he meant grave danger. Nicholson responded ” Is there any other kind.” So with that chilling thought in mind, I listened as the former vice president spoke  about our climate crisis and global warming while a snow and ice storm raged outside in Washington forcing the closing of the schools.
 According to AG jr. ” We must face up to the urgent and unprecedented threat to the existence of our civilization.” I could hardly eat my corn flakes. He went on and said  that “we shouldn’t be sidetracked by our financial crisis.” Why not because that is real and actually matters?
He continued that “we have arrived at a moment of decision.. a treaty MUST be negotiated this year.” Well , there went my good day. I had better do my travelling now before it is too late. But just when i thought it was totally bleak, he mentioned that Hillary Clinton, our  gifted and super qualified Secretary of State, had appointed a ” special climate envoy”  in the State Department.  Well that gave me a wave of relief. We now have an envoy to climate. Thank God for the new administration. President Bush wouldn’t even talk to Iran so he would never talk to climate.
If you know where climate meets let me know, I would like to meet him or her. And if you don’t like your weather, the saying used to be wait 15 minutes and it will change. Now we can actually negotiate with climate like real people. God bless these democrats. They sure have their priorities in order.
