I want what Bubba is smoking only in a lesser dosage than his. I want to retain my faculties. In an amazing speech in Denver, CO ex-president Clinton expressed his concern for global warming and suggested that a slow down of the economy would help combat global warming and reduce greenhouse gases.

Huh?

In a long, and interesting speech, he (Clinton) characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: “We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.”

At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? “Slow down our economy”?

I don’t really think there’s much debate that, at least initially, a full commitment to reduce greenhouse gases would slow down the economy….So was this a moment of candor?

He went on to say that his the U.S. — and those countries that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases — could ultimately increase jobs and raise wages with a good energy plan..

…

Slick has gone off the rails again. Could it do with Obama’s rise in the polls against his wife for the battle for the Presidency?

The Goracle’s head bursts :

Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures needed to counteract it.

Gore, who won an Academy Award this year for his film “An Inconvenient Truth,” a documentary on global warming, had been widely expected to win the prize.

Climate change has moved high on the international agenda this year. The U.N. climate panel has been releasing reports, talks are set to resume on a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, and there is concern about the melting Arctic.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said global warming, “may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth’s resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world’s most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states.”

Jan Egeland, a Norwegian peace mediator and former U.N. undersecretary for humanitarian affairs, also called climate change more than an environmental issue.

“It is a question of war and peace,” said Egeland, now director of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs in Oslo. “We’re already seeing the first climate wars, in the Sahel belt of Africa.” He said nomads and herders are in conflict with farmers because the changing climate has brought drought and a shortage of fertile lands.

But Al might have a few problems with his possession of the Oscar he received for his fantasy movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” The movie, an alleged documentary, proves that some Al’s “truths” were not facts .

A conservative think-tank in New Zealand has written to the president of the America’s Academy Awards asking that the Oscar awarded to the director of an Inconvenient Truth be taken back.

Former New Zealand MP Dr Muriel Newman, director of web-based think-tank the New Zealand Centre for Political Research, said she had taken the measure in response to a British High Court ruling Thursday.

She said she emailed Academy president Sid Ganis and executive director Bruce Davis with the request on Friday morning.

A British judge ruled an Inconvenient Truth, whose director Davis Guggenheim won an Academy Award for best documentary feature, contained scientific errors.

The judge said the film could be shown in British schools, although it must have guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination.

The controversial documentary starred former US vice president Al Gore talking about the perils of global warming.

“The truth, as inconvenient as it is to Al Gore, is that his so-called documentary contained critical distortions that are quite contrary to the principles of good documentary journalism.

“Good documentaries should be factually correct. Clearly this documentary is not,” a statement from Newman said.

House #1 A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern “snow belt” area. It’s in the South.

House #2 Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee; it is the abode of the “environmentalist” Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas ; it is the residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.

Yet another example of hypocrisy from Algore, what an inconvenient truth! And why is it that this isn’t reported in the MSM?

They’re Baaack…. Global Warming Truthers are attacking Fox News over what they call the news network’s attack on the Global Warming fallacy.

Film maker Robert Greenwald, the man behind the documentary “OutFoxed,” has Fox News in it’s sites again. This time about Al Gore’s pet issue. An obvious ploy to discourage advertisers from using Fox.

From Breitbart:

Exclusive: Activist and filmmaker Robert Greenwald, the man behind the documentary “OutFoxed,” is back — this time with an attack on Fox News for an alleged editorial stance skeptical of global warming concerns. Greenwald, along with fellow left wing activists Sierra Club and Move-On.org, are asking their supporters to put pressure on Home Depot to stop advertising on the top-rated cable news network. Greenwald also conducted a recent Internet campaign against a planned Fox News presidential debate in Nevada. He’s also credited with pushing top-tier Democrats to pull out of a Congressional Black Caucus debate.

But the off-spring of The Goracle proved me wrong. Al Gore’s son (Al Gore the 3rd) was picked up for speeding in a Toyota Prius…. Oh… and was inebriated too. A.G. the 3rd was allegedly drunk and in possession of other illegal substances.

Of course, this type of arrest isn’t foreign to the 3rd .

Al Gore III, son of the former vice president, was arrested in California early Wednesday morning for suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs.

Gore III was allegedly driving a blue Toyota Prius at speeds over 100 mph when he was pulled over around 2:15 a.m. on the San Diego freeway south of Los Angeles. Smelling marijuana, police searched the car and found less than one ounce of marijuana and prescription drugs Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Armormino said. The last pharmaceutical is a treatment for attention deficit disorder.

“He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs,” Amormino said.

Gore, 24, was released from a men’s jail in Santa Ana after posting $20,000 bail.

This is the second time he was arrested on a marijuana possession charge. Police in Montgomery County, Md., pulled over Gore in December 2003 and noticed the smell of pot. Police were also tipped off by the open windows and sunroof despite the freezing temperature.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce was forced to postpone an Air Quality hearing on Global Warming due to inclement weather.

A synopsis of the postponed hearing:

"Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?"

In other words it was too cold and snowy for the wusses to attend.. Maybe Al Gore can explain this phenomenon.

 Here is the schedule:

8/02/07-I had to resurrect this post with the global warming fallacy being pushed ever so aggressively again.

It was only a matter of time before the moonbat scientists would make a claim such as this…

Polar Bears, because of toxic waste chemicals such as the ones used to manufacture products like Scotchgard, are causing polar bears to become “multisexual” in genetic makeup. In other words the bears are hermaphrodite.

This compliments of the Independent:

Wildlife researchers have found new evidence that Arctic polar bears, already gravely threatened by the melting of their habitat because of global warming, are being poisoned by chemical compounds commonly used in Europe and North America to reduce the flammability of household furnishings like sofas, clothing and carpets.

A team of scientists from Canada, Alaska, Denmark and Norway is sounding the alarm about the flame retardants, known as polybrominated diphenyls, or PBDEs, saying that significant deposits have recently been found in the fatty tissues of polar bears, especially in eastern Greenland and Norway’s Svalbard islands.

Studies are still being carried out on what impact the chemicals might be having on the bears, but tests on laboratory animals such as mice indicate that their effects can be considerable, attacking the sex and thyroid glands, motor skills and brain function.

There is also evidence that compounds similar to the PBDEs have contributed to a surprisingly high rate of hermaphroditism in polar bears. About one in 50 female bears on Svalbard has both male and female sex organs, a phenomenon scientists link directly to the effects of pollution.

“The Arctic is now a chemical sink,” declared Colin Butfield, a campaign leader for the Worldwide Fund for Nature, which last month indicated that killer whales in the Arctic were also suffering from elevated levels of contamination with fire retardants as well as other man-made compounds. “Chemicals from products that we use in our homes every day are contaminating Arctic wildlife.” …

What wasn’t publicized about the study is that the Polar Bears are now able to walk through fire without out even a hint of anything more than a light suntan. They are also attracted to marsupials.
