Al Gore and Global Warming - This is RIOT!

Here's the story from Drudge...

---------------

GORE TO DECRY 'GLOBAL WARMING' ON NEW YORK CITY'S COLDEST DAY IN DECADE

In what political watchers are calling possibly the biggest gaffe in years, former Vice President Al Gore is set to give a speech tomorrow on the perils of global warming -- on what is expected to be the coldest day in New England in nearly half a century!

Against the advice of senior advisers, Gore is planning to appear at the historic Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday to issue an indictment of the Bush administration's "inaction on global warming."

Gore will make the warming case on a day forecasters are predicting the coldest temps in Boston since 1957, with wind chills in parts of New England plunging to 100 degrees below zero!

Even though forecasters predict Thursday night will bring the coldest temperature reading in New York City in more than 10 years [1 degree above zero], sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT that Gore is determined to deliver the speech -- hoping to make the case how "Global warming" is actually the cause of the record cold snap!

"The extreme conditions are actually the end result of the planet warming," Gore has told advisers, sources say, in explaining his motivations. "The Bush policies are leading to weather extremes."

Sources would not say whether the speech is to be given outdoors.

---------------------

Ahahahah! Ahahahahaha! Stop! Yer killin' me! It just doesn't get any better than this. Proof that God exists AND that He has a tremendous sense of humor!!!

Re: Al Gore and Global Warming - This is RIOT!

Without getting into the whole "Global Warming" thing by trying to make it as complicated as it really is, even though Drudge has conveniently oversimplified it, the coldest temperature in a decade actually proves the statement by Gore: "The Bush policies are leading to weather extremes." That's basically what "Global Warming" means, but I guess the "warming" part is misleading. Colder winters, hotter summers. Extremes. And it doesn't balance out either, since weather related human deaths are increasing worldwide...

Sorry, Mayor. I didn't get the joke.

Re: Al Gore and Global Warming - This is RIOT!

It's the irony, my friend. And this nonsense about the Bush policies leading to weather extremes is lunatic propaganda. These corrupt politicians will twist and turn any way they can in order to justify the party line.

I try to be unbiased and would have no problem with believing in global warming if it were true. This take on it makes far more sense to me...

Well on this you I will I think agree, that there is too much emotion involved in the discussion (but on both sides though, methinks). No one in the present admininstration is calling it a "hoax". That might be too strong a word.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now], on a nice warm Beverly Hills, CA day: That doesn't mean global warming is not a problem, but we think it ought to be addressed through the development of hard science. We've spent a fair amount of time on the issue since, and we'll continue to work on it. It's an issue that does need to be addressed. But we need to address it based upon facts and not just emotion. And that's the process that we're involved in now.

BTW, in the article you posted... There's several screaming flaws that are addressed in detail in various scientific journal. Second paragraph...

And third!!!

FOURTH!!!

Seems to be focused on CO2. I mean, myopically focused on it. Carbon dioxide..., I'm oversimplifying this..., isn't a problem in and of itself. Combined with several chemical emissions, it becomes an issue. There's also carbon-monoxide coming out of the tailpipe of your car (and mine)... There's other stuff...

It's like you need water and soap to make suds. Carbon Dioxide would be the water. It's fine on it's own, Earth loves it. Humans in industrialized nations are making soap. Lot of soap. The resulting suds are "global warming". Resulting in clean dishes but dead fish...

I'm still not seeing the joke. Irony I recognize, but have trouble defining (it's a Generation X thing)...

CT.. It's obvious that you're a very bright individual. Albeit bass-ackwards politically speaking

What is it you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?

Is the Conservative Monitor a credible news source?

well, that certainly isn't me!!

I posted the story straight from Drudge because LMT complained about The Conservative Monitor.

I knew they were similar, but it was from a different source.

Silly Angus! Read boy, read.
Besides, the schematics of a post and where the information came from is not nearly as important as the information itself. We need to discuss the issues instead of constantly trying to disprove where the information came from.

I questioned, AM. Let's see, just off the top of my head, CBS has been called the Communist Broadcast Station, Newsweek has been referred to numerous times as a "liberal rag." The Washington Post? nope, too liberal. Same for the New York Times. And I have the gall to question The Conservative Monitor? Please...

I wasn't trying to be antagonistic. I was answering a question.
