About that "other" religion...

The religion of "Glo-bull Warming": Uh, yeah, it's all a big hoax. You can trade in your Prius now. AlGore and the rest of his GoreBots are being exposed, bit by bit, as the charlatans, hoaxsters, and--well, liars--that they are.

Alec Rawls (Error Theory) has posted a lengthy disembowelment dissemination of the whole Chicken Little crowd and their junk science. Grab a cup of coffee and block out about a half hour to read his post. Here is a snippet:

If global cooling is known to be the real and impending danger, why is it that even with the onset of cooling, most climatologists are raising hysterical alarms about global warming? Because they are not actually concerned about global temperature at all. They are environmental religionists who believe that human economic growth is gobbling up the natural world.

Blaming late 20th century warming on fossil fuel burning was just an opportunity for these religionists to try to impose restrictions on economic activity, and in that way “save the planet” from human encroachment. Global warming alarmism never did have anything to do with climatology.

If only the sun had stayed aboil for one more solar cycle, the religionists would have succeeded. When the inevitable cooling did come, it would still pull the curtain off of their global warming hoax, but by then it would be too late. Economic restrictions would already be fixed in place, under UN bodies that the religionists control.

Alas, it was not to be. The fake bride was almost to the altar, but mother nature put her foot down on the bridal veil, leaving the hairy ogre standing in front of the congregation in his stuffed bra and BVDs. Fake minister Al Gore must be furious, but to no effect. Their game is up.

Even a temporary dip in global temperatures will be enough to expose the scare about human and CO2 based global warming as a fraud. There hasn’t been any dip in CO2, so a dip in temperature will explode the alarmist claim that global temperature is CO2 driven.

Thus saith Evil Glenn:

GREEN FAKERS: Radar on why eco-hypocrisy matters:

Take Laurie David, soon-to-be-ex-wife of Seinfeld co-creator Larry, and producer of An Inconvenient Truth and other save-the-earth extravaganzas. Though she boasts about using recycled toilet paper and compact fluorescent lightbulbs, David has been pilloried for, among other excesses, flying on private jets. Here's what she has said in defense of her travel habits: "I'm not perfect. This is not about perfection. I don't expect anybody else to be perfect either. That's what hurts the environmental movement—holding people to a standard they cannot meet."

Apparently, when you're worth a few hundred million dollars, being asked to refrain from the most carbon-intensive indulgence known to man qualifies as "holding people to a standard they cannot meet." Note, too, her use of emotional jujitsu: the ones who are really hurting the environment are the ones who are so impolite as to point out her bad behavior. . . . It's always galling to be exhorted to curb your consumption by people who are living the poshest lifestyle imaginable. But the problem here goes beyond aesthetics. Eco-hypocrites undercut the very message they're trying to peddle. How desperate could the planet's plight be if the people who present themselves as most concerned about it consider flying first-class commercial an unacceptable sacrifice?

Read the whole thing. As I've said before, I'll believe it's a crisis when the people who say it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis.

That's the money phrase right at the end. When Laurie David and Sheryl Crow and AlGore stop flying around in their jets and stop riding around in their big huge buses, they might gain a little credibilty. Until then they're nothing but a bunch of hypocritical Communist wannabes.

The Goracle speaks!

Noel Sheppard over at Newsbusters has a clear analysis of a column by the NYT's Nicholas Kristof about AlGore. The High Priest of Carbon Offsets is quoted as saying:

''We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer,'' he said, and encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carbon sources.

''I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers,'' Mr. Gore said, ''and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.''

Um, maybe because kids these days don't want to die in the name of junk science. Maybe Mr. AlGore ought to stand in front of a bulldozer. Oh, that's right. Gore's a liberal, and liberals don't believe in practicing what they tell other people to do. Ain't that right, Mr. $1300/month electric bill.

Oh, but he buys carbon offsets. Know what a carbon offset is? It's ordering a Big Mac, a supersize order of fries, two apple pies, and a Diet Coke. Carbon offsets are like the Diet Coke .

UPDATE: Mr. Gore doth not as he speaketh (via Dissident News).

Shhh! Don't tell AlGore!

You won't hear this on the news. You won't read about it on any of the left-wing blogs. But last week NASA--quietly, without public announcement or fanfare--readjusted their temperature data for the lower 48 states. And when they did, something strange happened. Come to find out, the warmest year on record was NOT 1998 as they had previously announced. It was 1934--some 30 or so years before the first SUV's that the greenies are blaming for all thsi "man-made" glo-bull warming. In fact, 4 out of the 10 hottest years occured not in the last dozen or so years, but in the 1930's!

So why does the left continue their bugaboo about humans--i.e., Americans--destroying the planet with our carbon emissions and SUV's and air conditioning? In his latest column, Mark Steyn explains it.

In my book, still available at all good bookstores (you can find it propping up the wonky rear leg of the display table for Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"), I try to answer this question by way of some celebrated remarks by the acclaimed British novelist Margaret Drabble, speaking just after the liberation of Iraq. Miss Drabble said:

"I detest Coca-Cola, I detest burgers, I detest sentimental and violent Hollywood movies that tell lies about history. I detest American imperialism, American infantilism, and American triumphalism about victories it didn't even win."

That's an interesting list of grievances. If you lived in Poland in the 1930s, you weren't worried about the Soviets' taste in soft drinks or sentimental Third Reich pop culture. If Washington were a conventional great power, the intellectual class would be arguing that the U.S. is a threat to France or India or Chad or some such. But because it's the world's first nonimperial superpower the world has had to concoct a thesis that America is a threat not merely to this or that nation-state but to the entire planet, and not because of conventional great-power designs but because — even scarier — of its "consumption," its very way of life.

Those Cokes and cheeseburgers detested by discriminating London novelists are devastating the planet in ways that straightforward genocidal conquerors like Hitler and Stalin could only have dreamed of. The construct of this fantasy reveals how unthreatening America is.

In other words, the left has had to invent some cockamamie threat in their quest to hate America. We are a democracy (OK, technically a republic. Roll with me here), governed by laws that are ostensibly designed to protect law-abiding citizens from those with no respect for the rule of law. We are a country that the poor in this world look to and flock to for freedom and prosperity.

And liberals hate that. They would rather have us be a Communist state, with every aspect of your life being regulated by the State. Failing that, liberals would be glad to see the United States converted into a caliphate, with laws being crafted not by elected legislators, but by imperial, impetuous judges with no accountability to a constituency. A judiciocracy, if you will, that imposes its beliefs upon a population with no recourse to have them removed. The left knows that they cannot get their agenda legitimized through democratic (small 'd') channels, so they resort to the courtrooms and news media that are all too happy to support their cause and carry their water.

So, they come up with this "man-made global warming" nonsense to invent a threat that does not exist (unlike Islamic terrorism, which is very real) in order that they may gain sympathy with the people through propaganda, and legislate what you can and can't drive, eat, etc. Because if you are willing to give up those freedoms, then more important ones (religion, speech, etc) will be given up more easily. Don't believe me, look at this video from Britain.

This week's Friday Fillmore Funnies

Shhh!! Don't tell AlGore!!

Hey kids! Do ya remember that big old chunk of hypocrisy called "The Kyoto Treaty"? You know, that agreement that was going to make sure that the big, bad USA was going to stop being so bad and evil, and was going to bring about peace and happiness between man and nature? Except they forgot one thing: They forgot to include the nice, wonderful People's Republic of China! You know, that bastion of utopian love, peace and harmony! (/sarcasm)

Well, guess what? When we decided against signing that stupid thing, it seems that we knew what we were talking about. You see, the Kyoto Treaty deliberately excluded the ChiComms. And, almost on cue, we see that (from The Guardian, via Conservative Grapevine):

China has overtaken the United States as the world's biggest producer of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, figures released today show.

The surprising announcement will increase anxiety about China's growing role in driving man-made global warming and will pile pressure onto world politicians to agree a new global agreement on climate change that includes the booming Chinese economy. China's emissions had not been expected to overtake those from the US, formerly the world's biggest polluter, for several years, although some reports predicted it could happen as early as next year.

So, I wonder how Al Gore and all the liberals who have jumped on board the Whacky, Whacky, Warmin' Globe! Tour are going to handle this. Will Sheryl "Brownfinger" Crow be demanding that people in China stop using toilet paper? Will Al "We need to get serial about ManBearPig" Gore start jumping around China on a jet, spewing even more pollution into the air, in addition to what his jet will put out? Will Laurie David get in the face of the Chinese premier, like she did to the REAL mastermind behind "global warming", Karl Rove?

Or maybe, just maybe, people in this country will wake up to the fact that this whole "man-made global warming" thing is all just a hoax to try and wrest control of your life, and put every decision you make as a private citizen into the hands of the government. Kinda like they do in...China.

AlGore to visit Neptune

AP--"Former Vice-President AlGore will visit the planet Neptune, in an effort to pitch his new movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", to all Neptunians. "The global warming occuring on Neptune is an outrage! We need to rid Neptune of all her SUV's, and Neptunians need to make their carbon footprint smaller!"

Meanwhile, singer Sheryl Crow urged Neptunians to use only one square of toilet paper, so as to slow down the deforestation of their planet. At a speaking function, Ms. Crow and her friend Laurie David, tried tying the global warming trend on Neptune to an evil plot that was hatched by the Rove-Bushco-Halliburton machine."

Yes, folks, from 1980 through 2004, the planet Neptune experienced a significant amount of...GLOBAL WARMING!! (via Hot Air) Oh, and so did the planet Mars. So tell me, how many SUV's does the average citizen of these planets own? Are they enough to contribute to the shrinking ice caps on Mars? And where is Al "Chicken Little" Gore when these planets need them?

UPDATE: Originally I said that it was Mercury that was also experiencing "global warming". My bad. It was, indeed, Mars. I stand corrected.

AlGore's new book, "Assault on Reason" is really

an insult to our intelligence. I haven't read it, I'm not going to. I don't need some tree-hugging dirt-worshipper to tell me about some myth he has about "man-made global warming", when he himself spends over $1300 A MONTH on his light bill (But he buys carbon offsets!! That makes him wonderful!! Yeah, whatever. See definition of "carbon offsets" at the right). Well, apparently Joy "Hey, it's me!! the loudmouthed redhead from 'The View'" Behar has jumped, feet-first, into the swirling cesspool that is the mind of Al "ManBearPig" Gore. Once again, from The Anchoress:

I haven’t read the thing, itself, but I have now read several accounts of Al Gore’s new book, Assault on Reason, wherein he wags fingers at people who watch TV (unless, of course, they’re watching him pimp his book) and the media (particularly those who don’t stick to reporting only his side, of the “manmade” global warming story) and - by all accounts - he trashes the Bush 43 administration from start to finish, enumerating all of Bush’s “lies” and mistakes.

I’ve seen similar lists throughout the web - the collective is circulating it in order to really drill home to everyone who may not yet be fully convinced that George W. Bush is the worst, most evil man ever born from woman (if that is what Barbara Bush may be called) and also the stupidest evil super genius imaginable.

I read a transcript of the execrable morning program The View in which Joy Behar, a Gore-adoree of the first water, reads from one of these lists:

[...]

Oh, I think it’s definitely time. Let’s do it - let’s impeach President Bush, let’s have all of this brought forward and get it all investigated and put on the real, actual record, instead of in someone’s book of dreams and opinions or in a convenient, “bumperstickeresqe” meme. Let’s get all the tawdry lists and narratives together and finally get them “on the record and testified to.” We can start with the Gore/Behar list:

You really need to do yourself a favor and read her whole post. She goes through Ms. Behar's incoherent screed, point by point, and shatters all the myths and pipe dreams of all the sad little liberals.

Hmm...how do you categorize this?

Ha ha. Cate-GORE-ize. Me funny.

I guess just file this under "liberal hypocrisy". Zombie has a photo gallery of liberals doing what they keep telling us NOT to do. They go around screaming "GLOBAL WARMING!!! GLOBAL WARMING!!! CARBON FOOTPRINT!!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!" And yet they show up at an AlGore spech driving...well, I'll let you take a look yourself.

That's right. The rich and privileged among the "Whacky, Whacky, Warmin' Globe Tour" get to drive around in Range Rovers, Mercedes SUV's, and Jeep Liberty's. But we, the great unwashed, are supposed to cram into a Honda hybrid or that stupid Toyota Prius. Yeah, let's just tell AlGore to do that once he steps off of that jet that is spewing carbon into the atmosphere. But that's OK, he bought "carbon offsets" (see definition at right). Uh, yeah. Sure.

Chicken Little gets PWN3D

Over at Flopping Aces, Curt has a great post about how the arguments for "man-made global warming" are being dissected, torn apart, and ripped to shreds by something called "science." Now, I know, liberlas don't like to hear the truth about such things. They'd rather have you believe that by driving to work, instead of riding your bike, that you are killing the poor, poor penguins in the Antarctic. But don't to use facts, or real science to try and convince these people. It only confuses them. They can only handle what AlGore fills their heads with.
