We're All Gonna Die! Pt. 37

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

Al Gore meltdown edition:

Speaking Aug. 4 at the Aspen Institute, Gore claimed global warming critics have used the same tactics allegedly used by the tobacco industry to prevent needed anti-smoking regulations for four decades, according to The Colorado Independent, a liberal website.

“The model of media manipulation used then, Gore said, ‘was transported whole cloth into the climate debate. And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes. Bullshit! It may be sun spots. Bullshit! It’s not getting warmer. Bullshit!’ Gore exclaimed,” the Independent reported.

“’When you go and talk to any audience about climate, you hear them washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again,’ he continued. ‘There’s no longer a shared reality on an issue like climate even though the very existence of our civilization is threatened. People have no idea! … It’s no longer acceptable in mixed company, meaning bipartisan company, to use the g—–n word climate. It is not acceptable. They have polluted it to the point where we cannot possibly come to an agreement on it.'”

Al Gore’s sub-prime science has been downgraded, and he’s not taking it well.

Climategate: Global Warming Conspiracy Exposed

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

This is a major scientific scandal. A hacker breached the network of a government-funded, so-called “leading Climate Research Unit” in Britain, and the resulting email exposure has given the global warming community a collective black eye.  The emails demonstrate a clear pattern of data manipulation, organized resistance and obstruction to disclosure, and private admissions to publicly denied faults in the research.

The New York Times naturally couldn’t resist a little spin and damage control:

The evidence pointing to a growing human contribution to global warming is so widely accepted that the hacked material is unlikely to erode the overall argument. However, the documents will undoubtedly raise questions about the quality of research on some specific questions and the actions of some scientists.

Ridiculous.  The evidence has been so thoroughly discredited and dunked that it is unconscionable for a major media organ, even one as biased as the New York Times, to engage in this level of spin.  But while the media doesn’t get it, the public increasingly does.

Opinion polls show faith in AGW continues to be the minority position.  Meanwhile, Al Gore is facing an increasingly emboldened public backlash for both his views and his hypocrisy.

We're All Gonna Die! Pt. 26

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

Today comes an Al Gore edition of We’re All Gonna Die!

First, the Goracle impresses us with his knowledge of the earth sciences, declaring on Conan O’Brien that the Earth’s core reaches a temperature of “several million degrees.”  Our actual best estimate? 4,000-5,000 degrees Celsius.  As NRO’s John Derbyshire puts it, “If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was ‘several million degrees,’ we’d be a star.”

Now comes word of how Gore plans to open his next apocalyptic book.  He will use the following quote:

I’m offering you the choice of life or death. You can choose either blessings or curses.
–Deuteronomy Chapter 30, Verse 19

The cover art even manages to be over-the-top hysterical.  As the so-called science of global warming is increasingly rejected, expect the likes of Al Gore to hyperventilate about the coming doom at even greater frequencies.
