Back when Al Gore was running for President, Mark Steyn described him as our first alien candidate. Mark wasn’t expressing doubt about Gore’s native country. He wasn’t a birther avant la lettre. Rather, he was expressing doubt about Al Gore’s manner — weirdness incarnate — and, ultimately, his sanity.
The presidential election of 2000 seems awfully long ago, more, somehow, than the 9 years it’s actually been. A lot has happened in the world. Yet time cannot wither nor custom stale Al Gore’s infinite monotony. Back in 2000 he was hectoring us about the environment. In the interim, he has just kept hectoring on.
Most people, having absorbed the climate data, have quietly stopped talking about global warming. Instead, they now warn about climate change. Why? Because it seemed every time someone would organize a conference to bemoan the dangers of global warming, the event would get snowed out. So most politicians have given up on “warming” and have embraced “change.” More nebulous but somehow less embarrassing.
Not Al. A couple of days ago, John Dickerson interviewed the former vice-president on Slate. Students of mendacity and political opportunism (they are not necessarily the same thing) will want to study this document. It is a classic. It neatly balances, as does Al himself, the apocalyptic and the monotonous. Why, Dickerson asks, does the Copenhagen Climate Summit matter? You know and I know, Dear Reader, that it matters because it is a stepping stone in a plan to transfer wealth from rich countries to poor ones. But Al understands that what is wanted in response to such a question is not truth but emotion:
We face the gravest threat that civilization has ever confronted, the former vice-president begins.
It’s global in nature and requires a global solution. Increased CO2 emissions anywhere, whether from China or the United States or from one of the countries that is burning its forests like Brazil or Indonesia from wherever the emissions come, they have the same effect: They trap much more heat from the sun, melt the ice, raise the sea level, cause stronger storms, floods, drought, bigger fires, generate millions of climate refugees, destabilize political systems, threaten the growing of food crops and cause a number of other catastrophic consequences which, taken together, threaten the basis for the future of human civilization on the Earth.
Gosh. Floods. And drought. And bigger fires. Millions of refugees. Political destabilization. Famine. And, just in case he’s left anything out, a number of other “catastrophic consequences.”
Now, what’s wrong with this picture — apart, I mean, from the tone of hysteria? Part of the problem is that Al Gore is — how to put this? — fibbing. The basic facts about climate, he says, are incontrovertible. “Incontrovertible” means “known for certain,” “beyond dispute.” But when it comes the effect of human activity on the weather, almost everything is controvertible. Addressing the growing number of skeptics, Gore presents a few questions that he assumes will dispose of the matter once and for all:
What do they think happens when we put 90 million tons up there every day? Is there some magic wand they can wave on it and presto! physics is overturned and carbon dioxide doesn’t trap heat anymore? And when we see all these things happening on the Earth itself, what in the hell do they think is causing it?
All these things? Like what, Al? Like the fact that the temperature over the last decade has not cooperated with the predictions of climate hysterics like Gore? No, he leaves all that to one side. What he does here is move from a elemental physical fact — that CO2 traps heat — to a wild extrapolation about the climate system as a whole.
iPerhaps the most galling then about Al Gore’s Global Warming Circus is the unutterable smugness he communicates./i
Hes had that same smugness ever since he was six and pontificating on why The Lone Ranger was better than Hop-a-Long Cassidy. Al was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, moved on to having a silver spoon in his nose, and now has a silver burr up his ego over not being president like his dad told him to. He doesnt believe in climate change or anything else, only in his right to be Al Gore the Magnificent.
Hes the perfect example of the sort Caesar was talking about when he asked, Moriaritus? This man is a bit of a crawler… Why does he follow such a profession, Moriaritus? To which Moriaritus replied, For money, Caesar. He tells me he wants to die rich. Caesar reflected then said, And so he shall. Give him a bag of gold and then strangle him. Too bad such a simple and appropriate solution isnt available these days. All we can hope for is that he knows enough to become extremely inconvenient to those who he’s been shilling for as their fraud comes unraveled.
Regards
Christ, what a ywit- treating the complexities of Earth’s atmosphere like a Mr Wizard experiment. Does this Nobel Laureate even comprehend that “all those tons” of CO2 amount to less than 400ppm- not remotely enough, by orders of magnitude, to trap sufficient heat to cause the asserted warming? The warmists themselves know that much, so they allege mysterious positive feedbacks to explain ManBearPig. Gore isn’t even that bright.
Al Gore is an empty shell that spouts what ever others pour into it. I doubt you could beat an original idea out of him. He’s a front man. But perhaps a growing inconvenient one since he keeps spouting global warming when the spin has changed the motto.
I remember back in 97-98 during the El Nino event. Before they got really going on this. Almost every news article was about how we had to stop the evil El Nino. Stop the global climate process that had been occurring for, well, ever now that it had a name and, perhaps, fortuitously a process named after the Christ child. But the El Nino waned as oscillations are wont to do so they came up with the new La Nina to gain funding in the downcycle and to also undermine the religious name of the El Nino.
Take it easy on poor Al. He never got more than a C in college science courses, and he flunked out of divinity school. He’s just not that bright. Your arguments will go right over his head.
Like all religious zealots, these people cannot actually conceive of the world going on without them. The rapture or this global catastrophe has to happen in their lifetime to be meaningfull.
Why has Mr. Obama spent over $1.5M paid to Perkins Coie Law Firm to keep his original birth certificate, college transcripts, passport and other records hidden from the American public?
Why was his first order of business after the inauguration to sign an executive order ensuring these records are kept sealed?
When you really want to scare people, it helps to use a numeric scale to emphasize that whatever you are talking about seems immense. Hence, climate change fear mongers give the parts per million concentration of CO2 (370 or so) instead of the percentage (0.03). Sounds more impressive, doesn’t it? Except when you look at the PPM of Nitrogen gas (700,000). Similarly, Al Gore thinks that complaining about 90 million TONS of CO2 will frighten readers into believing the amount is way too large. I just did a back of the envelope calculation of the weight of the earth’s atmosphere and came up with 8.68 billion tons. So Al’s 90 million tons (if it’s accurate) represents 1 percent of the weight of the atmosphere. I can’t tell you what part of that is taking up by plant life and the oceans, but it has to be sizeable because we don’t have a 100% CO2 atmosphere right now. It’s still .03% and changing very slowly. Meanwhile, Al goes on beating his shoe on the table as his bank account swells faster than the level of the ocean. Way faster.
Has anyone ever noticed that the left wing idealogues, no matter the facts presented to dispute their beliefs/ rantings, only become more shrill, more insistent, attack the questioner, and blame everyone else for not seeing the “truth”.
While I wholeheartedly believe in freedom of speech, the global warming/ climate change blather is tentamont to yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre.
There seems to be something wrong with the formatting of this post. The quotes are all messed up. Or is it just me?
#11 is quite right: the mobile version WordPress has a lovely “feature” of stripping out all single and double quote marks and html tags when a post is updated. Now fixed (the post, not WordPress).
There are a few True Believers as well: persons who, lacking a religious faith, feeling the lack, and being inimical to the demands of the traditional ones, have adopted Anthropogenic Global Warming as their Cause. The giveaway that it is a faith, rather than a conviction reached from reason and evidence, is that the True Believer regards no countervailing evidence as relevant or acceptable.
A proposition that cannot be falsified is an article of faith, quite as much as the Resurrection. It’s not a shameful thing to hold a faith (said the devout Catholic)…but one really should prefer a creed that isn’t susceptible to disproof. The East Anglia CRU document leak plus the accumulating evidence that the world isn’t “running a fever” after all will put paid to the AGW thesis quite soon…hopefully before the November 2010 elections.
Did Albert say all that on the same day that POTUS instructed Republicans to stop scaring folks?
Roger – you wrote this on a mobile phone? That’s a Peace Prize!
His zealotry could be forgiven if he weren’t so hypocritical. The man is a primary source of CO2 emissions.
The ignorati that follow the Goreacle no doubt despise the little old ladies who send all their money to the televangelists. They are the same, only the religion is different.
Make no mistake, this is theology, not science.
Al Gore is the class nerd. He’s had his face pressed up against the glass so long, he’s become transparent. Were he not the son of a wealthy and shrewd politician, he’d be some middle level manager in a Midwest accounting firm making life miserable for the two people in his department.
I think the only reason he is invited onto so many media shows is that he brings comic relief, and by contrast make the hosts appear bright (something which is mighty hard to do).
Does anyone with an IQ over that of a radish take him seriously?
The real point is that Mr. Gore wants everybody to understand that the we face utter and complete world destruction because we failed to make him President. One day all of us will be sorry, very sorry, that the natural order of the universe was disrupted in 2000.
I guess the ex-VP is suffering from an early case of Breckinridge-Wallace Syndrome (named after to Vice Presidents who went rogue after their Presidential ambitions were thwarted).

“While I wholeheartedly believe in freedom of speech, the global warming/ climate change blather is tentamont to yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre.”
He will then sit down in the theater and eat his popcorn JuJu Beans or whatever with a Super Large soft drink while others are leaving the theater. Neat trick and you don;t have to worry about someone behind you kicking your seat or someone with a giant hairdo blocking you view since no one else is there.
The reason Gore is so smug is that he sits on a $100 million bank account that he will never ever have to worry about the climate change. It’s pathic and I really wish he would melt away!
““We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” – Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation
Their wisdom and humanity speak for themselves, and themselves alone.
Thank goodness for the accurate poll counting in Florida, so that Al Gore did not become President of the United States!
Well,I’ll say one thing for anAL GOREtentive….he made “Midnight Basketball” what it is today.
In an episode from The Simpsons (cant remember the title, but not a recent one–maybe even one before Al got into his current gig), the Simpsons are having a yard sale, and Bart picks up an old Al Gore action figure. He pulls the cord from the back of the doll and we hear in a monotone voice a good imitation of Al: Hello, Im Al Gore, and you are listening to me speak.
good article.
Shoot, I should have checked instead of relying on my memory. The doll Bart picks up is someone else. The Al Gore doll is one that appears in a different episode. Just check Youtube. Still spot on.
Its really quite simple . .
All the IPCC models predicted an increase in temperatures this decade in line with rising CO2 levels. They also predicted a telltale hotspot in the lower atmosphere.
Temperatures have not risen this decade in line with CO2 levels (and the models). Neither has the hot spot been found. (Trenberth: The fact is that we cant account for the lack of warming and its a travesty that we cant).
Now: on ordinary experimental principles that have served us well since the enlightenment, when the data dont match the prediction/hypothesis, you discard the prediction/hypothesis and start again. In this case, the prediction is essentially the same as the computer models on which the prediction is based. In other words, the computer models that are the basis of the prediction are badly suspect.
Scientific discipline demands that the models, being suspect, be rigorously discarded. The models have failed, and a proper scientist would junk them. That this hasnt happened. Instead, the prelates of the Church of warming talk about a pause in the warming trend. But the warming trend, at least as it is extrapolated in to the future, depends on the discredited models. So how can one plausibly talk about a pause?
Its astounding; its scandalaous. And incredibly depressing that so many politicians remain fixated on the faith-based orthodoxy.
FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT THE FOLLOWING IS ESSENTIAL READING. [scientific references below]
THE GREENHOUSE THEORY HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY DISPROVED – REALLY – BY GERMAN PHYSICISTS. IT IS A SCIENTIFIC IMPOSSIBILITY:
Why is this important?
Gore and all the pundits are left to rely on the obvious catastrophic greenhouse effect of putting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
And everyone believes the Greenhouse effect exists because it was taught as true:
I – and whole generations – were taught about the Greenhouse Effect. However we did not know it was an untested theory. Just as I was taught from textbooks in the fifties that the Northern Lights were reflections of the Sun off the Arctic Ice – [false] – so too was the Greenhouse Effect taught as proven fact. It is false.
In an American Thinker article on November 27, 2009, John McLaughlin discussed a recent paper by two German physicists that still gets little attention.
It proves through tests that the Greenhouse Effect is non-existent. The theory itself violates the law of physics. It is essential to understand this since Gore and his companions rely on its logic to make us think that – despite the lack of temperature rise – warming is inevitable.
I quote two portions from McLaughlins article so interested people can find the original scientific report and I quote its conclusions.
1. The Source of Info for Mr. McLaughlin:
The analysis comes from an independent theoretical study detailed in a lengthy
(115 pages), mathematically complex (144 equations, 13 data tables, and 32
figures or graphs), and well-sourced (205 references) paper prepared by two
German physicists, Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf Tscheuschner, and published in
several updated versions over the last couple of years. The latest version
appears in the March 2009 edition of the International Journal of Modern
Physics. In the paper, the two authors analyze the greenhouse gas model from its
origin in the mid-19th century to the present IPCC application.
**********
2. Later in the article, McLaughlin quotes their conclusions from the report itself:
The point discussed here was to answer the question, whether the supposed atmospheric effect has a physical basis. This is not the case. In summary, there is no atmospheric greenhouse effect, in particular CO2 greenhouse effect, in theoretical physics and engineering thermodynamics. Thus it is
illegitimate to deduce predictions which provide a consulting solution for economics and intergovernmental policy. [conclusion of the German physicists]
*****************
You can go to the American Thinker website and look up the November 27, 2009 article by McLaughlin that gives a neat summary. Or
check out March 2009 edition of the International Journal of Modern
Physics for the original article.
Until this information becomes widely disseminated, Gore and others will still be able to appeal to the inevitability argument of Greenhouse gases. We were taught these falsehoods in school in a more ignorant time.
Spread the word. The false science of the Greenhouse Effect is the last stake to be driven into this political nightmare.
Jim Anderson
anderson.james@att.net
In order to have global Marxism, you have to have a global lie.
The Goracle knows he is spreading a lie, but he wants to get more rich on the carbon credits companies will have to buy from his company. For Gore, and others like him, it is about money and power. He worships that false god, and will lie for it.
Gore was easy to get on board the lie, most of you posters here appear to be Nationalists, and will have to have your head cut off.
Dan: the atmosphere weighs a good deal more than 8.6 billion tons! Youre out by a factor of six hundred thousand or so.
Area of Earth = 4 pi r^2 ~ 5 x 10^14 m^2
Atmosperic pressue (1 atm) = 101325 Pa
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.807 N/kg
Mass of atmosphere thus ~ 5.3 x 10^18 kg or 5 quadrillion tonnes.
Its a mis-representation to talk about CO2 trapping heat. What it does is redistribute reflected radiation from the sun into other constituent gasses in the atmosphere, making it warmer than a simple radiation balance calculation would predict given Earths albedo of roughly 0.4. This is called radiative forcing. The sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations is logarithmic, meaning progressively smaller effects as concentration increases. It is therefore necessary for AGW catastrophism for there to be positive feedback effects, of which we are currently unaware.
There is no global warming
There is no evolution
There is no link between cancer and second-hand smoke
… according to the scientists who blog for PJM.
Floods. And drought. And bigger fires. Millions of refugees. Political destabilization. Famine.
But what are these compared to – gasp! – TAX HIKES???
One paper by a couple of German physicists isnt going to prove anything. Weve already been told that this decade (and this year) are the hottest on record by IPCC.
My arthritis tells a much different story…frankly I believe my bones. Of course its all about selective use of information, and presentation. Sales 101.
Satellite data be damned…weve only collected it for a few years…find me a good tree and Ill tell you a story.
As it was an aside, my last post should have been in brackets. Sorry.
about a year ago the ATF made the statement that 90% of the guns confiscated in the mexican drug wars came from America. The WH ran with it. A couple days later the ATF explained that they had mis-spoke and that 90% of the guns they were asked to trace came from America and that those guns only made up about 16% of the guns confiscated. The WH still runs with the 90% figure. Its the old thats my story and Im stickin to it. Same thing with Als AGW
As the western civilization tries hard to forget where it comes from and what made it great, it also loses the optimism and the ambition that propelled it to unprecedented achievements, it inevitably falls into addictive prophecies of gloom, and laments the specter of planet fever, just to see what the fear of fire felt like in the dark ages.
Al Gore possesses a greater reserve of gloom than most of us, so he is the right leader if we want to proceed on the way down. If we manage to bounce back to the creativity, the dynamism and the soaring spirit, he may be left behind for a while, until it is his turn to be led, and perhaps for the first time since his childhood, indulge in optimism again.
Tennessee aint a bad place to live in, is it not?
The Goracle, as quoted by Roger:
What do they think happens when we put 90 million tons up there every day? Is there some magic wand they can wave on it and presto! physics is overturned and carbon dioxide doesn’t trap heat anymore? And when we see all these things happening on the Earth itself, what in the hell do they think is causing it?
The Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) thesis is, in a nutshell, that an excess of CO2 traps heat and will eventually lead to catastrophic warming. AGW alarmists such as Al are right that there has been warming since 1850; nothing surprising in that, since thats roughly when the Little Ice Age ended. Things should have gotten warmer. Theyre also right that weve been dumping more carbon into the atmosphere since industrialization ramped up and the human population skyrocketed. (That most of the post-1850 warming happened before industrialization went global and population soared is an inconvenient truth they ignore…) Thus, according to AGW theory, this excess of carbon should have caused an increasingly dangerous warming.
Trouble is, theres no excess of carbon in the atmosphere. A recently concluded study at the University of Bristol (UK) has shown that the proportion of carbon in the atmosphere relative to that trapped in the earth and water has remained the same since 1850. In other words, no matter how much weve thrown into the air, the worlds ecosystem has handled it. Without an excess of CO2, there is no engine for global warming, there is no crisis, and there is no need for a save-the-word conference or the EPA to rule by decree.
Green statists like Gore, et al., are left looking like the idiots and frauds they are.

Do you want to picture a true world catastrophy? Picture this– Al Gore wins the 2000 election. Can you imagine how he would have responded to the World Trade Center? He probably would have blamed it on global warming, and increased our taxes.
He would have also fined the City of New York for the increased air pollution caused by the burning towers.
I am waiting for the day that he decides the State of Hawaii needs to be fined for all the polutants poring out of our volcano.
31 Dan,
NOt only are we unaware of positive feedback effects in greenhouse gas sensitivity, we ARE now aware of the matter of reflected radiation and its response to CO2 concentrations.
All of the computer models from East Anglia, ALL OF THEM, predicted a decrease in radiation escaping the atmosphere when CO2 levels increased, as they have demonstrably been doing.
But in the past couple of decades satellites have been measuring the ACTUAL radiation reflected, and over the same period as the models predictions spanned, the actual real true amount of reflected radiation INCREASED instead of decreasing.
Whether CO2 had anything to do with it, nobody knows, but the truth of the matter is the change was OPPOSITE what the SCIENTISTS predicted in every damn one of their models.. and an INCREASE in reflected radiation means it is less able to heat the earth because its not STAYING AROUND.
yet ANOTHER lie exposed… suspicion should have abounded when every single computer model had the exact same prediction for this secondary effect…
There is proveable global warming over the history of our planet, and proveable global cooling. The unproven part is the anthropogenic component.
Has anyone else seen that a Canadian newspaper,(Financial Times, maybe?) is calling for the world wide adoption of the Chinese one child policy? No scientific support, but calling for it anyway.
If Locke and Jefferson lived in or around the age of reason the evidence shows that we are living in the age of irrational paranoia. As a society how can we be so technologically advanced, and so anti science and anti logic. It baffles the mind.
People need to stop listening to the bureaucrats at the IPCC and start listen to real scientists who will explain that the earth is not even warming. We are in the midst of a 9-year cooling period.
“You know and I know, Dear Reader, that it matters because it is a stepping stone in a plan to transfer wealth from rich countries to poor ones.”
If this were true, it would be one thing; objectionable, perhaps, but at least in some odd fashion the heart of the movement would be in the right place. But that’s not what’s going to happen. The money will go from taxpayers in rich countries into the pockets of dictators in 3rd World Countries, who will use the money to buy energy-efficient Gulfstreams in which they can fly to the Riviera, and so forth. None of the money will be used to fight Global Warming, Climate Change, or anything else…except keeping wealth where it belongs in those countries, in the hands of the very few…
When I see Al, on TV, he is always pontificating. He won’t debate anyone because he’ll get his arse kicked. His face reveals nothing but anger and defensiveness. Gore will go down as one of the great frauds in international science.
biblio 44.
I always get a kick out of it when global warming freaks mix terms like droughts and floods! Which is it? How can it be flooding DURING a drought? Al Gore screws it up all the time as well.. talks about stronger storms AND droughts. Which is it? Last time I checked storms bring rain.
And even if you bought into their hype, higher temps mean greater amounts water being evaporated, ie rain clouds.
AGW believers insanity knows no bounds!
Finally
Universal disdain
Climate change recognized as a hoax
Kill it now.
Yonder lies a future
Ominous and dark
Under the rule of fascist scientists.
All greedy politicians
Love their banker buddies.
Gear up for a fight
Or the corrupt will steal your souls
Rape your children’s dreams
Empty our cupboards for a false cause.
42. Samizdat:
I saw the article and have always maintained this is about population control in every sense of the phrase.
Having been to third world countries, I would say that trash removal is a bigger problem than Climate Change. Their problem is population control, not Western people.
The following are scientific questions from an ignorant Southern denier.
1. Where did they get the idea that there was a piece of glass surrounding the entire earth and trapping heat like in a greenhouse?
2. Don’t they know a greenhouse is filled with oxygen because the plants have converted the carbon dioxide? Why do they use the term “greenhouse gas”.
3. Is there anything calculated about increased plant life resulting from increased CO2, which would be absorbing the extra CO2 and converting it to oxygen?
4. Who says warming is bad?
5. If the warming really gets bad, couldn’t we have some nuclear winter?
Al truly is, as you point out, the king-all blowhard fabulator of the 21st Century and pretty much defines the left and the Dims who nominated him (the culmination of an increasingly windblown seriies of unfortunate leftest presidental pinatas) as true believers of an extreme form of otherworldly cult. No, the man is not alien in extraterresrial sense. He is in fact his own nemesis: ManBearPig. Is fraud still a punishable crime?
Wow. A couple German physicists prove that AGW is physically impossible. Any chance they’ll get the next Nobel Prize for physics? Any chance at all?
33. biblio44:
“Floods. And drought. And bigger fires. Millions of refugees. Political destabilization. Famine.”
There is an old Star Trek episode that still makes me smile. A planetary head warns of “Disease, Destruction, Pain and Anguish!”, followed by a warning of “Horrible, Lingering Death!!!!”
That was so campy, it was funny. You need to work on that aspect. People already dismiss you as silly, but you are not making them laugh. Try harder next time.
Anyway, floods and drought have always been with us. The bigger fires are due to asinine government forestry methods being applied today.
The number of refugees due to natural disasters pales in comparison to the numbers that have been produced by left wing despots. Same goes for famine. Stalin and Mao alone count for the lion’s share.
Political destabilization is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it is the only way to dispose of tyrants. But, given the Left’s affinity for despots, I can see why political destabilization keeps you up at night.

Well, it seems Mr. Ehrlich ( another of Obama’s Eugenicist Science Czars who works with John Holdren ) will have his way with humanity if the Copenhagen Treaty will have success. There is your global system, with a globally enforceable mandate- at first to impose carbon taxes upon humanity- later on to do what the eugenicists have always called and planned for: the orderly extermination of at least 80 percent of the global population.
Writer: Btok
Increasingly the scientific evidence of the 21st century is that the whole CO2 sky-is-falling idea, is wrong.
That is why Climategate happened.
They would not have had to resort to all the nefarious lying, cheating, stealing, data destruction, character assassination and suppression of the evidence, if the recent and definitive 21st century scientific results were truly bad, or confirmed their case.
It was because it increasingly appeared that there was no problem, and that their hypothesis was disproven, that they had to do so.
Ask yourself… Why else LIE?
The alarmists love to use what they perceive to be large numbers, without context. Given that the total weight of the atmosphere is about 6 quintillion tons (6 with 15 following zeros ), at a rate of 90M tons daily, it would take almost 2,000 years to increase the level of CO2 to 1% of total weight. That of course assumes that the natural processes built into the system that ensure equilibrium over time completely cease to function for that 2,000 year period.
We want the “Pudge”! Mr. Gore where are you?
