    There is a whole lot of people working very hard to keep Al Gore in front of audiences that already believe him. Its a mass conspiracy on a level that makes the 9/11 attacks look like a job done by amateurs....Global Warming deniers are going to be right up there with flat-earthers in a few years. The only reason they aren't now is the amount of established money that is afraid of change.

    Again, so why isn't algore and his cronies riding horses? He contributes more to global warming as an individual than me.

    It's called the concept of scale.

    Al Gore flying halfway around the world can convince millions of people to change their habits . . . and companies to change the way they do business . . . an investment payoff far exceeding the "cost" in greenhouse gases he used to get there.

    This concept is so simple it's staggering that I have to explain it.

    BTW, temperature in Moscow yesterday was 37 . . . and it was above freezing in St. Petersburg for the first 7 days I was there. In bleeping February. Ain't global warming great?

    Yeah. He teaches it all right. Those evil mongerers in America and Europe. Tell it to China or India, Al.

    How easy it is to surrender responsibility when others fault as well. "But maaaw Jimmy did it too!!"

    Really, should we find, keep, and export our own standards or look to China for that guiding light?

    I've never once received an answer from the crowd who says global warming does not exist, but I'll ask once more anyway:

    Let's assume for a moment that global warming is a crock of shit. It won't happen, the earth is just in a normal warming cycle.

    Now, as humans interpret this warming cycle as a dangerous effect of human fossil fuel consumption and pollution, someone like Al Gore steps to the front and encourages countries and people to adopt "greener" lifestyles. Stop wasting energy, look for new sources of clean-burning, renewable fuels. Stop polluting the atmosphere.

    Even if global warming is a complete crock of shit, why would any of the things Al Gore and other environmentalists are trying to accomplish be a bad thing?

    I can accept if Hondo, Yawn or others don't believe in global warming, although I personally see it as burying your head in the sand. I can't understand why they are against having a cleaner planet other than it's a cause supported "by those damn lefties."

    Seriously, there is no downside to exploring ways to clean up the planet. None.

  11. Amazing how this works.
    I'm willing to bet a nickel that hondo found this bilge here...

    ...since I doubt he reads the National Post ever day. You will note that the NewsBuster! doesn't link to the actual study, just to the NP column. Gee, wonder why?

    You win dude. China is kicking our economic ass. Let's let them rub our face in it too. We'll be paying $12 a gallon for gas, we'll all lose what jobs we have, but the Obama administration will be sending us all welfare checks and health care. Wow. Wonder who's going to pay for that if we're all broke and all our commerce is in China and India?
