Poor Al Gore is something of a sad case. After his devastating and contested loss to George Bush in 2000, he retreated to one of his favorite and signature causes, global warming. In fact, when it comes to Gore, he’s probably at least as well known for his environmental positions as he is as a former vice-president.
But perhaps he’s been at this far too long. His claims and demands are getting more bizarre as time passes. We recall his claim that, “I am Correct on Climate Change, You Just Can’t See It.” That’s not the most convincing argument that’s ever been made. Actually, it sounds more like a statement of desperation.
Now he wants to ramp up spending to forestall the devastation he predicts will befall the planet. It’s not clear where he plans to get such sums, but we are to believe that if Al says it must be spent — well, who are we to argue? After all, it’s only $15 trillion.
One of Gores 5 homes !
Hey Al, check this out-,,!,,
You’re a phony crony. Tell George to bite me.!!
Doesn’t this crook have enough money?
didnt you make enough money on this f**e clam, and now you want every one to fall for this b******t again, i’m guesting you didnt get rich enough the first time you pulled this scam
massive budget eh? I guess we have to pay for China and India to get on board with the global warming trend right? Why should the USA be the one footing the bill for the whole world to cut THEIR emissions? Don’t they KNOW that global warming means just that GLOBAL…how many billions is India and China putting into this??
India has no toilets and they$#%&!@*in the street daily and you think they are going to spend billions on global warming when sanitary and health is more important? China could care less ( look at any major city at noontime on a hot day – looks like LA in the 70s ), but you think they are going to spend billions on factory stack scrubbers and clean cars with emission controls ….hahaha AL, you got to just go away with this BS.
Oh God, just go away. You have enough millions. Why don’t YOU give some to your poor constituents
Al,just stop the insanely
Happy Earth Day!!!!
Just so we remember why we’re celebrating, here are 13 PUBLISHED predictions from the first Earth Day in 1970. Remember these when people say it’s us and not the sun forever causing “climate change”.
Speaking of alternating dire warning predictions, don’t miss #13.
13 Most Ridiculous Predictions Made on Earth Day, 1970
Saturday is Earth Day — an annual event first launched on April 22, 1970. The inaugural festivities (organized in part by then hippie and now convicted murderer Ira Einhorn) predicted death, destruction and disease unless we did exactly as progressives commanded.
Sound familiar? Behold the coming apocalypse, as predicted on and around Earth Day, 1970: “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” — Harvard biologist George Wald
“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” — Washington University biologist Barry Commoner
“Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.” — New York Times editorial
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” — Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich
“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born… [By 1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” — Paul Ehrlich
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” — Denis Hayes, Chief organizer for Earth Day
“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions…. By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” — North Texas State University professor Peter Gunter
“In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution… by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half.” — Life magazine
“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
“Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” — Paul Ehrlich
“By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate… that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’” — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
“[One] theory assumes that the earth’s cloud cover will continue to thicken as more dust, fumes, and water vapor are belched into the atmosphere by industrial smokestacks and jet planes. Screened from the sun’s heat, the planet will cool, the water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born.” — Newsweek magazine
“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” — Kenneth Watt
f**k the moron
