Al Gore has made $330m with climate alarmism.  Warning the world that it is on the brink of disaster has been lucrative for Al Gore.  His wild prediction at Davos that Earth faces 'rain bombs' and 'boiling oceans' is just his latest in decades of climate alarmism.  At the same time, the former VP has been at the forefront of green technology investment that has seen his wealth balloon to an estimated $330 million.

Junk Scientist and Serial Liar Al Gore Makes Absurd Global Warming Prediction.  Global Warming fraud Al Gore made a new 'climate change' prediction "once we get to true net zero."  Net-zero emissions is a front for global Communism.  "Net zero" will be reached when the world completely 'eliminates carbon emissions' and we go back to the dark ages.  Only the global elites will continue to live in their mansions, eat meat, and fly in private jets.  Al Gore made the new Global Warming prediction from Davos as he sat outside in the freezing cold weather with a snowy backdrop.  "The good news is that once we get to true net zero and stop adding, the temperatures will stop going up almost immediately, with a lag of as little as three years," Al Gore said without providing any evidence whatsoever to back up his new timeline.

Delusion:
Al Gore:  Without Climate Action, 'We Could Lose Our Capacity for Self-Governance'.  Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that if the climate continues to warm, we "would lose our capacity for self-governance."  Anchor Jake Tapper asked, "What happens if the world doesn't react?  What's the worst-case scenario?"  Gore said, "The scientist who has warned us of these mega-storms and the floods and mudslides and droughts and the ice melting and the sea level rising and the storms getting stronger and the tropical diseases and climate and migrants crossing international borders in large numbers.  They were dead right when they warned us about this, and so we need to pay more attention to them now."

On December 19, a volcano erupted in Iceland that completely wiped out all of the "carbon credits" Al Gore has ever sold.

Al Gore Says There is a Mental Health Crisis Around the World Because "We Are Not Solving the Climate Crisis".  Global warming charlatan Al Gore appeared on CNN on Sunday and told host Jake Tapper that there is a mental health crisis around the world because of the unsolved 'climate change' crisis.  "There is a mental health crisis around the world, I think that one of the main reasons for that is that young people look at the fact that we are not yet solving the climate crisis," Al Gore said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.  "We hear the word thrown around 'poly-crisis.'  Well, solving the climate crisis is a 'poly-solution.'  We know what to do.  We have the means to do it.  And we have to make sure that we make the right political choices in our democracy to enable ourselves to make the right choices," Al Gore said.

Climate Change Alarmist Al Gore Declares War on Fossil Fuel Industry.  Climate change alarmist and former United States Vice President Al Gore has blasted the fossil fuel industry, accusing oil and gas companies of "using the atmosphere as an open sewer."  Mr. Gore, whose climate rants have grown progressively more unhinged, said this week that fossil fuel companies are "digging and drilling and pumping up the fossilized remains of dead animals and plants and burning them in ways that use the atmosphere as an open sewer, threatening the future of humanity."

Al Gore's greenie investment fund caught buying stock in polluters.  Is there anything that green guru Al Gore does that's actually green?  We know he's an energy hog, using way more than his "fair share" of energy to heat his mansions.  We know he flies around on carbon-spewing private jets.  Turns out he doesn't even invest green, even though he would like you to think he does.

Al Gore's Broken Record of Hypocrisy.  Al Gore's hypocrisy is well known: consuming ten times the average household's electricity in his Tennessee mansion, buying a beachfront mansion in California while warning of sea level rise, flying in private jets while hectoring us about our carbon footprint, etc.  Turns out Gore's investment fund, Generation Investment Management, dedicated to "sustainable" investing (ESG before it was the cool term) is in on the con, too.

Al Gore, Lunatic.  Somebody help this man.  Speaking at the World Economic Forum's annual wankfest in Davos, Switzerland, the inventor of the internet and the scourge of massage therapists everywhere went on an unhinged rant that tells you all you need to know about the psychosis currently afflicting politicians all over the world.  Gesticulating wildly, his face reddening, his voice rising, the former vice president of the United States became a man in the deadly grip of a panicked, violent, superstitious reaction to... the weather.  A decent human being would be ashamed to show his face in public ever again after this embarrassing display of childish, Thunbergian pique, but in front of the unctuous barking seals who make up the attendees at Klaus Schwab's Klubhaus Gore was greeted with whoops and cheers for his messianic fervor.  The cultish behavior of the so-called global elites was never more in evidence, a perverse clerisy of crackpots in charge of a global suicide sect.  [Video clip]

Al Gore has really lost it, hasn't he?  Yeah, the guy who has spent the last 30 years saying we only have a few more years to save the ice caps is once again telling you that we will be dead unless government takes drastic action to stop you little people and your farting cows.  And that the accumulated heat on the planet is as much as 600,000 nukes exploding every day.  [Video clip]

How Al Gore Amassed a $330 Million Climate Fortune by Terrifying Everyone.  Former Vice President and 2000 presidential election loser Al Gore has spent his post-political career warning anyone who will listen that the earth is in its death throes due to global warming (now called climate change because somehow that's better).  His 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" amassed $49 million at the world box office and catapulted Al into the top ranks of climate hysterics, and he's never looked back, constantly jetting to meetings around the world to preach his truth.  This week he's at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, because of course he is.  Is he doing this because he truly believes what he's saying, or because he cares so very much about you?  While we can't read his mind, one thing we do know for sure:  climate change has been very, very good to Al Gore.  Though he was worth approximately $1.7 million at the end of his vice presidency, he has now amassed an estimated $330 million fortune, owns houses in Virginia, California, and Tennessee, and receives a cool $2 million a month for a figurehead position at the Generation Investment Management green energy fund he founded with former Goldman Sachs Managing Director David W. Blood.

Al Gore Goes On A Crazy Rant About Climate Change At Davos.  Rain bombs?  Boiling oceans?  600k Herohima nukes exploding every day?  [Video clip]

Al Gore warns 'climate refugees' could reach a 'billion', doom 'self-governance' forever in deranged Davos diatribe.  Former Vice President Al Gore, the nation's preeminent global warming "expert" was in rare form at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos where the overstuffed prophet of climate doom delivered a deranged rant to to the beautiful people who assembled in the Swiss Alps to scheme out the planet's future.  In a fiery diatribe chock full of apocalyptic conjecture, the 74-year-old Gore worked the crowd as he spoke of a biblical plague of weather events that have been unleashed as a result of anthropogenic climate change with such catastrophic horrors as atmospheric rivers, rain bombs and boiling oceans while mixing in a generous helping of pure political red meat about right-wing xenophobia as well as praise for creepy Swedish teen Greta Thunberg who has amassed a dedicated following of cult-like devotees.  "Emissions are still going up!  All these promises of the last few years to cut emission — emissions are still going up.  When are we gonna bring these emissions down?" Gore raved.

The Editor says...
Emissions, he says repeatedly, without saying what's being emitted.  Presumably, he is ranting about carbon dioxide, which is a necessary and beneficial component of the atmosphere, not a pollutant.  Emissions sounds more threatening than "carbon dioxide emissions" because most people understand that carbon dioxide is harmless.  Most CO2 emissions are natural and unstoppable.  Of the remainder, most come from India and China; and for the moment they're unstoppable, too.

Al Gore WEF Meltdown: 'Boiling the Oceans,' 'Rain Bombs,' a Billion 'Climate Refugees'.  Former Vice President Al Gore said that "greenhouse gas pollution" was "boiling the oceans," causing "rain bombs," and creating "climate refugees" during remarks at a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.  Gore joined a panel discussion ostensibly examining what the WEF and the White House regularly describe as a "climate crisis" driven by consumption of fossil fuels.  One of the panel's hosts framed it as a "planetary crisis" driving "mass extinction" while "really putting humanity's future at risk."

The Editor says...
People who claim that the oceans are boiling, etc., should be ignored, and certainly should not be given any power.

Democrat Voter Fraud: A Brief History.  We all know the absurdist story of the 2000 presidential election. [...] The leftist version is well known, since it's all we ever hear — George W. Bush was only ahead by 900 votes in Florida when Gore, in the pure interest of fairness, requested a simple recount, at which point the right-wing extremist Supreme Court leapt in and handed the victory to Bush by fiat.  (This, by the way, has served as an excuse for all electoral cheating since that point — "the GOP started it in 2000... We have to cheat, to protect democracy."  As to what excuses the myriad cases of cheating that occurred beforehand... well, don't ask me.  I dunno.)  What actually happened is that Gore's crowd created a strategy in which every possible vote-counting method would be utilized, with recounts repeated as many times as necessary until one was finally discovered that would overturn the results.  These included attempts to carry out recounts only in Democrat strongholds such as Dade County while shutting down any such efforts on the Panhandle, home to many military retirees.  The Bush campaign took Gore to court to prevent such schemes, until finally, given the opportunity at last, the Florida State Supreme Court — almost exclusively Democrat-appointed — found in favor of Gore's demand that 'undervotes" — ballots showing no presidential vote at all — be counted, while at the same time "awarding" him nearly 500 votes, a novel concept unheard of in American jurisprudence up to that date.

Al Gore Says 'Climate Deniers' Are Like Uvalde Police Officers Who Didn't Rescue Children.  Former vice president and global warming activist Al Gore claimed in a pre-recorded interview Saturday that those who deny climate change are comparable to police officers who refuse to enter a school to stop a shooting.  In an interview set to air on Sunday, Gore told NBC, "You know the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred.  They heard the screams, they heard the gunshots, and nobody stepped forward."

Hey Al, Here's An Inconvenient Truth For Ya:  Former Veep Has $36B Invested in the CCP.  Former Vice President and failed (yes, failed) Presidential candidate Al Gore is worth close to $300 million dollars.  But Gore's investment fund dedicated to environmental and social sustainability, Generation Investment Management, is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.  Nice chunk of change.  So, what's he doing with it?  According to the Washington Free Beacon, Gore's "mission-led firm" claims to "seek transformational change needed in climate and social action."  Sure, sounds great and most certainly looks good on a business card — there's only one problem with it[:]  Generation Investment Management has investments in companies that profit from Chinese slave labor and help the Chinese Communist Party censor the internet.  Wait, didn't Gore tell CNN's Wolf Blitzer in 1999 that he invented the internet?

Al Gore's 'Climate and Social Action' Investment Fund Is More Red Than Green.  I've heard it said somewhere that environmentalists are like watermelons: green on the outside but red on the inside.  Many people in the environmental movement use the "climate change" narrative to push for outright communism or socialism.  Others profit off communist investments to fund their climate initiatives as well as their wallets.  Al Gore is one of those making money off of China to push a green agenda.  According to a report from the Washington Free Beacon, Gore's $36 billion investment fund, which touts its goal to "seek transformational change needed in climate and social action" in the world, has significant investments in China.

Al Gore Continues to Profit Off of the Climate Alarmism.  America's favorite climate hysteric, former vice-president Al Gore, has announced his newest money-making scheme fueled by climate change alarmism.  Gore is a co-founder of Generation Investment Management — a $36 billion investment firm.  The company's new $1.7 billion Sustainable Solutions Fund IV will focus investments on companies "that contribute to lower emissions, increased financial inclusion and more accessible healthcare," according to Bloomberg.  Gore is already reportedly worth over $300 million largely due to his climate change advocacy and his embrace of the alarmist position on global warming.  His 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth is responsible for misleading an entire generation of schoolchildren on the science of climate change, which Gore claims is a "planetary crisis" requiring a "planetary solution."

13 Years Ago Today Climate Grifter, Al Gore, Predicted by this time We would Be Underwater with No Polar Ice Caps.  It was 13 years ago today that the failed Presidential candidate turned VP, turned climate grifter, Al Gore, said that by this time in our history there would be no polar ice caps left, and most of the eastern seaboard and coastlines around the world would be underwater.  It turns out, the man who once claimed he helped create the internet, was wrong about that as well as he continues to peddle the same lies while moving the goal posts.  [Video clip]

Al Gore's Latest 'Solution' To Climate Change Is Mass Surveillance.  Speaking from the private jet and super yacht owners gathering, otherwise known as the COP 26 summit, Al Gore touted his latest solution to curb carbon emissions, mass surveillance via satellites, sensors and artificial intelligence.  In the interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Gore declared that technology created by the so called Climate TRACE coalition will monitor greenhouse gas emissions and root out the culprits.  "We get data consistently from 300 existing satellites, more than 11,000 ground-based, air-based, sea-based sensors, multiple internet data streams and using artificial intelligence," Gore explained, adding "All that information is combined, visible light, infrared, all of the other information that is brought in, and we can now accurately determine where the greenhouse gas emissions are coming from." [...] Gore, who in 2008 said there would be no polar ice caps left within five years, continued, "And next year we'll have it down to the level of every single power plant, refinery, every large ship, every plane, every waste dump, and we'll have the identities of the people who are responsible for each of those greenhouse gas emission streams."  And what, pray tell will happen to these climate criminals Al?

Al Gore: 'Time to say goodbye to coal, oil and gas worldwide'.  Former Vice President Al Gore called on the world to "say goodbye to coal, oil and gas" to fight climate change in a video released Friday ahead of the upcoming UN COP 26 global warming conference.  Oil, gas and coal are the source of 79% of U.S. energy consumption, according to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.  Nuclear energy provides 9% of U.S. energy, while renewable energy accounts for 12%.  Gore called on public and private sector leaders to "get real" about immediately reducing greenhouse gas emissions and about moving away from fossil fuels to "clean" energy.

Fifteen years on, Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' has proved to be largely inaccurate tripe.  Al Gore's climate change movie was hailed as revolutionary a decade and a half ago when it was released to much fanfare but, in the intervening years, the truths have, inconveniently, turned out to not be truths at all.  Fifteen years ago today, failed US presidential candidate, Al Gore, released what can be best described as a scare movie called 'An Inconvenient Truth:  The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming And What We Can Do About It'.  The movie was a global hit and Gore won an Oscar; he also received the Nobel Peace Prize.  Gore had succeeded in making global warming sexy.  Everyone wanted to get in on the act to show how eco-friendly they were, particularly celebrities.  And everyone else had to sign up to the agenda because, as we still hear so often today, "the science is settled." [...] But the movie wasn't just aimed at adults, or gullible MEPs, it was designed to scare our children.  Schools around the world showed the movie and the complimentary book appeared in their libraries.  As a result, children became terrified of the impending climate doom, which led to 'climate anxiety' and even now is giving our little ones sleepless nights.  However, the wheels quickly started to come off 'An Inconvenient Truth'.  In 2007, the High Court of England and Wales ruled that the film contained nine scientific inaccuracies relating to "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."

The Left's Idea of a Happy Future.  Liberals are fond of predicting the future, and their predictions, which are always dire, then become the pretext for more government. [...] Liberals are wrong about the future because their theories are based on ideology, not on the facts.  Unlike conservatives, whose ideas are grounded on prudence and a clear view of human nature, liberals really have no conception of what drives human beings: their thinking is built on a handful of fixed ideas that can be traced to a number of shallow-minded philosophers including Rousseau, Malthus, Marx, Dewey, and Gore.  What all of these thinkers have in common is the misconception that a centralized, planned economy can transform society into a utopia.  In every case, they've been wrong.  The Earth's population did not starve (Malthus); capitalism was not replaced with a socialist utopia (Marx); the earth has not been consumed by storm, drought, and rising seas (Gore).

NBC Trots Out Al Gore to Demand That Trump Issue A 'Proper Concession'.  The ballots are still being counted — and, in some states, being recounted — for the 2020 presidential election between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.  No winner has been declared but, somehow, some of the people on NBC News believe that the president should concede.  But, in a hilarious fashion, they want him to concede the way former Vice President Al Gore did after the 2000 election.

Al Gore: 'Burning Of Fossil Fuels' [is] A Pre-Condition 'For Higher Death Rates From COVID-19'.  Former Vice President Al Gore said Tuesday [8/25/2020] that burning fossil fuels "should be understood as a precondition for higher death rates from COVID-19."  The loser of the 2000 presidential election cited a study that he claimed showed a connection between "particulate pollution" in cities and higher virus infection rates.  In an online interview, Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen J. Adler asked if Gore saw a connection "between the change in climate and extreme weather and other aspect of climate change and the advent of the virus."  "Well, yes.  I'd mention two important ones.  First of all, we now know from multiple studies that the burning of fossil fuels should be understood as a precondition for higher death rates from COVID-19.  A massive study of 324 cities in China showed a significant linear increase in infections and serious infections related to cities and communities where there is more particulate pollution in the air.  Of course, the principal source of that is burning fossil fuels," Gore said.

The Editor says...
[#1] Is Al Gore a doctor now?  [#2] The air in the U.S. is crystal clear, compared to the air in China, where the "massive study" was undertaken.  Even without a previously-unknown virus in the air, it's a wonder that the Chinese aren't all sick.

How Leftism Replaces Success with Failure.  Former potential president Al Gore, in his book Earth in the Balance wanted us to enlist "every law and institution, every treaty and alliance, every tactic and strategy, every plan and course of action — to use, in short, every means to halt the destruction of the environment and to preserve and nurture our ecological system."  Gore mused about making the "effort to save the global environment the central organizing principle of our civilization."  These words were published in 1992, and yet we are still here; environmental judgment day has not yet dawned.  Nor, based on the little I have read on the subject, do I believe it is dawning any time soon.  My suspicions are that Gore, member of a party that leans toward socialism, pushed his beliefs because he doesn't like our capitalist system and also because of his worshipful beliefs about the environment.  Like secular humanists in their approach, Gore wants to seize our way of life and thinking to transform them to his liking, and doom is his selling point.

Al Gore, U.N. secretary-general and other elitists call for a 'great reset' of the global economy.  Justin Haskins, executive editor and a research fellow at The Heartland Institute and the editor in chief of StoppingSocialism.com wrote this past week that "while most Americans have been preoccupied with protests and pandemics, a potentially bigger story has managed to slip beneath the radar."  How so?  Well, while the economic and political chaos caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and the social unrest of the Black Lives Matter protests dominates the news, Al Gore, the U.N. secretary-general and a cadre of other elitists, who fancy themselves our superiors, have gathered together at the World Economic Forum (WEC) to call for a "Great Reset" of the entire global economy and its political structures.

Al Gore, UN Secretary-General, others now demanding 'Great Reset' of global capitalism.  The economic, social and political chaos caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and Black Lives Matter protests have for months captured the attention of virtually every American — and for good reason.  These are incredibly important issues worthy of significant and thoughtful debate.  But while most Americans have been preoccupied with protests and pandemics, a potentially bigger story has managed to slip beneath the radar:  a growing movement among the world's most powerful leaders to call for a "reset" of the entire global economy.

Al Gore says he's very impressed with 'Greta Thunberry'.  Al Gore flubbed the name of activist Greta Thunberg as he tried to commend her as a leader of the movement to tackle climate change, a cause he has long championed.  "When morally-based, social revolutions gain the momentum necessary when the young generation takes on the cost," the former vice president said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  "Greta Thunberry, and she is quick to deflect to all of the others who have followed her lead and joined her in leading — this is a global phenomenon."

Al Gore compares climate change to Dunkirk, Agincourt, and 9/11.  Al Gore has urged governments and the global elite to take stronger action in tackling the climate crisis, comparing it to some of the greatest military actions in history — and the 9/11 terror attacks.  The former US vice president made the comparisons during a panel session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which was attended by teenage activist Greta Thunberg, Prince Charles, and Donald Trump.

Al Gore is here to bore us all again with climate change hysteria.  Environmental alarmist Al Gore, a.k.a. the former vice-president, popped up Wednesday night [11/20/2019] at Vanderbilt University in Nashville to lecture about climate change.  He spoke at the kick-off of a global event called "24 Hours of Reality".  The event continues on through Thursday as a project of The Climate Reality Project, founded by Gore in 2006.  He claims 20,000 climate activists he's trained will present their own takes on climate change in more than 1,700 locations across the globe.  The Climate Reality Project is a non-profit organization.  He garnered an audience of about 1,000 people.

Gore on climate-change threat: 'This is the Battle of the Bulge.  This is 9/11'.  Former Vice President Al Gore on Tuesday [11/19/2019] compared the seriousness of climate change to battles fought during WWII and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.  "This is Pearl Harbor.  This is Midway.  This is the Battle of Bulge.  This is 9/11.  We have to rise to this challenge.  We have to change," Mr. Gore said during a speech in New Jersey after Gov. Phil Murphy laid out his plan to transition the Garden State to clean energy sources, a local CBS affiliate reported.  Mr. Gore made the same comparison on Wednesday during a speech at Vanderbilt University in Nashville promoting his Climate Reality Project.

Al Gore and an Inconvenient Forecast.  [Scroll down]  Now we come to the guy who literally reinvented himself after he lost the 2000 Presidential election and decided to stop talking about the "Social Security Lock Box" and focus on how [...] to scare people on climate.  He has succeeded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and one of those Nobel Peace Prize things that President Obama got for breathing.  Albert got right to work after losing to the cowboy from Texas for the sweet gig that included getting free plane rides on that gas burning hog Air Force One and decided to make what can loosely be called a documentary.

The Far Left Is Making Teens Miserable Over The Imminent Destruction Of The World.  Fourteen years ago, a gullible, very impressionable youngster by the name of 57-year-old Al Gore was told we only had 10 years to save the world.  The poor kid told eeeeeverybody.  And he fought it all over the world — except at his own house, where he ran up electric bills "21.3 times that of the U.S. household average."

Al Gore Invented Greta Thunberg.  Greta Thunberg is an obnoxious Swedish teen who makes David Hogg seem downright personable.  The child of famous parents has become the public face of environmentalist activism in Europe.  The media story is that she's a grass-roots activist.  The reality is that while Al Gore may not have invented the internet, he did help invent Greta.

Gore Says His Global Warming Predictions Have Come True?  Can He Prove It?  When asked Sunday [8/11/2019] about his 2006 prediction that we would reach the point of no return in 10 years if we didn't cut human greenhouse gas emissions, climate alarmist in chief Al Gore implied that his forecast was exactly right. [...] If we have truly gotten this far, why even care that "virtually all" of the Democratic candidates have agreed that global warming is a top issue?  If we had passed the point of no return, there'd be no reason to maintain hope.  The fact Gore's looking for a "savior" from among the candidates means that even he doesn't believe things have gone too far.

Al Gore claims his climate-change predictions about 2016 have now come true.  Former Vice President Al Gore said his predictions from 2006 about climate change over the next ten years have come true and claimed part of the damage has been irreversible. [...] "Well, some changes, unfortunately, have already been locked in place," Gore replied.  "Sea level increases are going to continue no matter what we do now.  But, we can prevent much larger sea level increases — much more rapid increases in temperatures.  The heat wave was in Europe.  Now, it's in the Arctic, and we're seeing huge melting of the ice there."

The Editor says...
Lots of ice is melting in the Arctic because it's the middle of August!  The sea level has been rising since long before the widespread use of the internal combustion engine.  And yes, I agree that the sea level will gradually increase "no matter what we do now."  If a sea level increase of a few centimeters over your lifetime is your greatest concern, you need to turn off your television.

Open Your Eyes.  The Planet's Not Dying.  Vice President Al Gore became a global warming alarmist and billionaire with his ridiculous carbon credit scheme.  So many people fell for his Inconvenient Truth film that nobody bothered to check its flawed data. [...] [T]here has never been a scientific consensus about global warming and if anyone tries to spout the nonsense that a majority of 'climate scientists' agree on climate change, they are conning you.

Gore lectures Australians on climate change in taxpayer-subsidized conference.  Former Vice President Al Gore is in Australia hosting a project to combat climate change — a push that is being subsidized by local taxpayers to the tune of $100,000 amid a dispute over a controversial coal mine.  Gore, who spearheaded the 2006 movie "An Inconvenient Truth," has spent decades calling for action against climate change and founded a nonprofit, The Climate Reality Project.  In Australia, he has opposed the building of the Adani coal mine in Queensland.  It was in that context that the Queensland state government announced last year that Gore would lead a Climate Reality Project training conference in the state from June 5-7.

Why does Al Gore keep denying science?  This past Wednesday, May 29, former Vice President Al Gore spoke to the graduating seniors at Harvard University.  A summary of his talk?  There is an "assault on science" that threatens "the capacity of the human species to endure" on planet Earth.  Mr. Gore proceeded to warn both students and faculty at Wednesday's annual Class Day convocation, stressing that "reason" and "rational debate" were under threat from what he called "ideology of authoritarianism" by those who disagree with him and his political agenda. [...] This is the man who told us in 2006 that we had "ten years to save the planet" and that the Arctic would be ice-free by summer of 2014.  In case you haven't checked lately, that has not happened, nor are we even close.  This is the man who, at the same time, said the gulf stream would slow down and cause untold climate devastation as the result.  News flash:  Current scientific data actually shows the gulf stream has had zero decrease and may actually be speeding up.

Al Gore inserts himself into Australia's election — and Aussie voters run the other way.  You'd think Al Gore, the big clown dumkopf who went off the rails after he lost the 2000 election to George W. Bush, would have learned a thing or two about what works in Western politics.  One of those things is that foreign interference in another country's election is the most reliable way to get the opposite of the desired result. [...] Well, either Gore is a slow learner or else he never got the memo.  Instead of recognizing how futile this idea is, he went to Australia just ahead of its election — one that Al Jazeera said was all about global warming indeed — and repeated the same stupidities he always does about global warming, telling Australians how to vote to make him happy.  When happened then is what always happens:  Gore gave Australians one more reason to vote the other way.

The Democrats' Sore Loser Syndrome.  [Scroll down]  The Democrats' next sore loser was Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet.  He lost to an obscure Texan in a race that was decided in the Electoral College.  Al whined and tied the election up for 35 days until the Supreme Court had had enough and called the election for that obscure nobody from Texas.  The election was decided in Florida by 537 votes after the votes of almost 6 million Floridians were counted.

The Editor says...
What would Al Gore have done as President?  Would he have outlawed incandescent light bulbs?  Would he have expanded the budget for the National Endowment for the Arts by $18 million?  Would he have signed the "No Child Left Behind" Act of 2002?  Would he have demanded that we dilute gasoline with ethanol?  George W. Bush did all that.

Climate Junk Science and the Utter Nonsense of Twelve Years to Destruction.  Al Gore, who has found in Climate Change the opportunity both to Prophet and to Profit, is both demagogue and fool.  He went to an Ivy League college — guess how he got in — and did horrifically poorly in science.  It may yet take a Mueller Investigation someday to get at Obama's college and law school grades and admission applications, but we do have Gore's science grades — and they are gory.  Among Al Gore's college courses at Harvard [...] he studied environmental science.  In the course titled "Man's Place in Nature" he got a "D."  The man who tells the world that environmental "science is settled" failed that very science course in a college where almost no one fails. [...] Likewise, he did poorly in chemistry.  He did poorly in physics.

Texas city featured in Al Gore film lost millions in green energy investments.  A green energy scheme to supply a small town in Texas with 100% of its electrical needs via cheap solar and wind power is, instead, costing the city almost $7 million.  Georgetown, Texas was featured in the sequel to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth as the "future" of American power generation.  But falling fossil fuel prices are making the scheme ruinously expensive for the town.

10 Years Ago Today, Al Gore Predicted North Pole Would Be Completely Ice Free in Five Years.  On December 13, 2008, junk scientist Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in five years.

How Al Gore Built The Global Warming Fraud.  Although his science is often seriously wrong, no one can deny that Al Gore has a flair for the dramatic.  Speaking about climate change in an October 12 PBS interview, the former vice-president proclaimed, "We have a global emergency."  Referring to the most recent UN climate report, Gore claimed it showed that current global warming "could actually extend to an existential threat to human civilization on this planet as we know it."  Al Gore's overblown rhetoric makes no sense, of course.  Yet his hyperbolic claims beg the question:  How did this all start?

Another Hurricane Means More Climate Change Hysteria.  [Scroll down]  America's preeminent climate oracle Al Gore made an apocalyptic movie in 2006, An Inconvenient Truth.  Early in 2006, when promoting the movie, he predicted that unless we took "drastic measures" to reduce greenhouse gasses, the world would reach a "point of no return" in a mere ten years.  He called it a "true planetary emergency."  Mr. Gore's ten years have come and gone and the only thing reaching a "point of no return" is the Democrats' civility and decency, not the climate.

Al Gore Caught Lying About Climate Change — Again.  Al Gore is at it again.  On Friday, the failed presidential candidate and amateur climatologist made several baseless claims regarding Hurricane Florence.  Not surprisingly, at least one of Gore's assertions was factually inaccurate.  Gore was speaking at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco when he blurted, "This is the first time in history that two major storms are making landfall from the Atlantic and Pacific simultaneously."  Gore cited the two simultaneous storms as clear evidence of so-called climate-change causing unusually extreme weather.  The carbon-credit salesman was referencing Hurricane Florence, which struck the Carolinas on Friday, and Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which hit the Philippines on Saturday.  While simultaneous cyclonic activity in both oceans is a bit unusual, it is hardly unprecedented.

Al Gore's claim about Hurricane Florence doused by scientists.  Another climate-change claim by former Vice President Al Gore is coming under fire, this one involving Hurricane Florence.  Mr. Gore said Friday [9/14/2018] that two major storms from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans had never made landfall at the same time, referring to Hurricane Florence, the Category 1 hurricane that struck North Carolina on Friday, and Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which hit the Philippines early Saturday.

The Editor says...
And if his claim had been true, what was his point?

Failed Predictions of Climate Alarmists Make Future Predictions Suspect.  It's hard for the average citizen to read the news these days and not be worried for the future of the planet.  We are told that 13 of the last 16 years have been the warmest on record.  We hear that coastal cities such as New York and Atlantic City, as well as nearly all of Florida, are at risk of flooding due to unprecedented sea-level rise.  We are told that the wildfires in California and Greece are the worst ever recorded, and that these fires represent a "new normal" because of man-made climate change.  But to get a good gauge of such predictions, it is wise to look at how similar predictions have turned out in the past.  So, don't sell your beachfront property just yet. [...] When carbon-credit salesman Al Gore joined the climate fray with his "documentary" An Inconvenient Truth in 2006, the climate lies only worsened.  Gore's film predicted a 20-foot sea-level rise in the "near future" owing to ice melt from Greenland and Antarctica.  As you can see, it hasn't happened yet.

Al Gore Forecasted "Ice-Free" Arctic by 2013; Ice Cover Expands 50%.  In 2007, 2008 and 2009, [Al] Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be "ice-free" by around 2013 because of alleged "man-made global warming."  Citing "climate" experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline:  "Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'."  Other establishment media outlets did the same.  Well, 2013 is almost over [12/18/2013], and contrary to the alarmist "predictions" by Gore and what critics refer to as his "doomsday cult," the latest satellite data show that Arctic ice cover has actually expanded 50 percent over 2012 levels.  In fact, during October, sea-ice levels grew at the fastest pace since records began in 1979.

Al Gore Screams That Global Warming Causes Flying Rivers and Rain Bombs.  Who would have thought that normal meteorological phenomena could be so scary?  Gore also shouted that higher humidity brought on by global warming is causing droughts.  Global warming was further blamed for lightning and forest fires.  In an attempt to make his doomy bellowings locally relevant, Gore prophesized that large parts of the Middle East would soon become uninhabitable.

Hillary Clinton:  President of Women.  After Al Gore lost the 2000 election and ate all the food he could find, he had to figure out what to do next.  He couldn't get the United States to elect him, so he decided to elect himself president... of the Environment!  Since then, Gore has spent his abundant free time scolding us all for destroying the planet.  He won't shut up about it.  Then he flies around on private jets between his various mansions, but whatever.  So what if he has the carbon footprint of a small country?  He's a ridiculous hypocrite, but it's made him a multimillionaire and a favorite of our liberal betters.  And most importantly, it distracts him from the fact that he will never, ever be president of the United States.

Guess Where The Money Behind Al Gore's Promotion Of Climate Hysterics Came From.  If you think former Vice-President Al Gore, and current head of the Church of Climate Change was helping to save the world out of the goodness of his heart with his own money, you are sadly mistaken.  As leaked documents reveal, Gore was having his pockets filled by an outside source that had a specific interest in the climate hysterics being spread far and wide.  And that source was none other than leftist sugar daddy George Soros.  According to Daily Caller, documents published by DC Leaks show that Soros's group Open Society Institute (OSI) threw $10 million at Al Gore in 2008 to push climate panic in order to help push policies surrounding the bad science.

This 'Bitter Cold' Is What Global Warming Looks Like, Explains Al Gore.  Yep.  Where others might see a crisis, Al Gore has spotted a Rahm-Emanuel-style opportunity to promote his renewables scam.  This bitter cold, he wants you to know, isn't a sign that his global warming theory is a busted flush.  It's a sign that he's even more right than ever before!

Nine Years Ago, Al Gore Predicted North Pole Would Be Completely Ice Free by Today.  Gore made the prediction to a German audience in 2008.  He told them that "the entire North 'polarized' cap will disappear in 5 years".  This wasn't the only time Gore made his ice-free prediction.  Gore's been predicting this since 2007.

Al Gore's dark past is an inconvenient truth.  Back in October of 2006, a Portland, Ore. masseuse accused the former vice president of "unwanted sexual contact" while performing a massage on him in a hotel room. [...] No charges were ever filed due to a "lack of evidence."  A second incident allegedly took place at a luxury Beverly Hills hotel in 2007 when Gore was in town for the Oscars. [...] The [National] Enquirer also alleges Gore's fruit came out of the loom a third time, a year later at a hotel in Tokyo.  I'm sure his defenders will attack the journalistic integrity of the Enquirer, but I would note that they were the ones who broke the John Edwards, Bill Cosby and Charlie Sheen stories before the mainstream media would touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Al Gore, "Energy Hog" Hypocrite.  In 2007, the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) released a study showing that Al Gore's gargantuan "carbon footprint" destroys his status as a credible champion for changing wasteful ways.  Now, a decade later, a new NCPPR study reveals that Gore has continued his energy-hog lifestyle, indicating he believes that the commandment to change is "For thee and not for me."  The details of Gore's energy guzzling can be found in a new report from the National Center for Public Policy Research entitled "Al Gore's Inconvenient Reality."

An Emetic for Gore.  I just haven't got it in me to suffer through Gore's new sequel (and apparently not many other moviegoers can either), and so I'm not going to produce another rebuttal video.  Fortunately, we have Dr. Roy Spencer on the job.  Dr. Spencer, a long-time senior climate scientist at NASA and the co-inventor of the NASA satellite system that tracks earth temperatures, has written a fabulous ebook rebutting Gore's climate gore, An Inconvenient Deception:  How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy.  It's currently ranked as the #1 seller on Amazon in three science book categories:  Climatology; Environmental science, and Science & math.  At just $3.99 I suggest Power Line readers snap up a copy and boost his sales rank further.  Moreover, it is likely that more people will read this book than see Gore's movie.

Gore: The Gift That Keeps on Giving.  Almost ten years ago, not long after Al Gore's first entry into the slasher/horror film genre (An Inconvenient Truth), I had occasion to ask a straight-shooting "mainstream" climate scientist I know slightly what he thought of Gore's film.  I was fishing to see whether he'd comment on some of the more obvious howlers that Gore included in the film, but instead after a long pause he said, "I wish he'd made the film with John McCain."  In other words, Gore should have tried to make it a bipartisan effort.  McCain is the perfect person and is so vain that he surely would have done it.  He had, at that point, sponsored two greenhouse gas emissions-trading bills with Democratic senators, and also a bill with John Kerry to mandate much higher mileage standards in the American car fleet (22 Senate Democrats voted against that proposal, incidentally).  Now that Gore is out with a sequel (that is bombing at the box office, so there probably won't be a sequel Oscar in Gore's future), it is worth taking in the reflections of two young political scientists at the University of British Columbia who conclude that Gore's efforts on behalf of climate change have only succeeded in polarizing the issue, and set back the cause of climate action.

Al Gore's advice to Trump...'resign': Former vice president tells US leader to quit over Paris climate agreement.  Former Vice President Al Gore has just one word of advice for President Donald Trump:  'Resign'.  Gore addressed the president while promoting his new documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel:  Truth to Power, a follow up to his 2006 Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth.  The environmental activist has long been critical of Trump, particularly for his position on climate change and his decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement earlier this year.

"Energy Hog" Al Gore:  New Film Flops, But He's Still Living Large.  Al Gore, whose energy-squandering Nashville home earned him an "energy hog" rating, has a hypocritically large carbon footprint.  This, along with the public's fear fatigue over global warming fright-peddling, may account for An Inconvenient Sequel bombing at the box office.

Al Gore learns it's tough to continually sell your fear-mongering if your predictions never come true.  There were supposed to be mega-tornados carving trenches across a weather-ravaged nation.  But tornadic activity has been in near-constant decline since the 50's.  We were supposed to see Katrina-like storms with shocking regularity.  Instead, we enjoyed a decade-long cat-3 storm drought — the longest in the nation's history.  The polar ice caps were supposed to be free of ice, sea levels would rise, our cities would be underwater, and we'd all grow gills like Kevin Costner in Waterworld.  So of course, Al Gore decided to buy a $9 million ocean-front mansion in a gated community near Montecito, California.  Such has been the way of the world in the years since the 2006 release of Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."  Part propaganda film, part self-serving glory vehicle, part endurance test, the film was a big hit.  But the predictions it made have run into a slight "not-coming-true" snag.

Debunking Al Gore's solar energy lies.  Al Gore is notorious for flying around the world in a private jet and telling regular people they need to use less energy.  He's a hypocrite, just like the rest of the Hollywood climate alarmists.  [Video clip]

Al Gore compares 'global warming' skeptics to Southern racists.  If you're skeptical about "global warming" and "climate change," you're as bad as the backwards as racist Southerners in the 1960s, according to Chief Alarmist Al Gore.  Gore, who recently was exposed for his mass consumption of energy at his Tennessee mansion, made the comparison on CNN this weekend.

Al Gore's Massive Energy Consumption.  Gore spends $22,000 per year on energy for his Nashville residence (he also owns two others), the vast majority of which is generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority's nuclear, coal, and natural gas plants.  Yet he has been brazenly lying to the media that his mansion uses 100% renewable energy.

Al Gore's Home Uses 21 Times More Energy Than Average American Family.  A conservative nonprofit reported Wednesday [8/2/2017] that environmentalist and former Vice President Al Gore's home used over 20 times as much energy as the U.S. average.  The National Center for Public Policy Research obtained Gore's electricity usage through FOIA requests and by talking with the Nashville Electric Service (NES), which services Gore's home.  It reports the former vice president averaged a whopping 19,241 kilowatt hours (kWh) every month, compared to 901 kWh for the average home.  "That 19,241 kWh average monthly electricity usage is 21.3 times more energy than a typical American household consumes in a month," the National Center for Public Policy Research reports.

Al Gore's Climate Change Hypocrisy Is As Big As His Energy-Sucking Mansion.  CNN's Jake Tapper asked Gore to respond to charges that he's a climate hypocrite.  "This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio," Tapper said, "that you, yourself, have a large carbon footprint."  Gore's response was "Well, I don't have a private jet.  And what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset.  I live a carbon-free lifestyle, to the maximum extent possible."  The maximum extent possible?  Really?  Then how does Gore explain the rather large amounts of electricity he uses to power his 10,000-plus-square-foot home.  A new analysis by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that Gore's Tennessee home "guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years."  In one month last year, the report found, Gore's home consumed more electricity than the average family uses in 34 months.

NASA's New Climate Data Exposes Al Gore's Lies.  Al Gore has become very wealthy from his invention of global warming and the creation of An Inconvenient Truth, a documentary which has been included in the science curricula of schools throughout the United States.  However, the more real climate data we see, the more obvious the hoax becomes.

Al Gore Unable To Give Direct Answer When Asked About BOGUS 2006 Claims On 'Climate Change'.  [Scroll down]  Then Gore went on the attack against President Trump over pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord.  "We still have the ability to stop short of other points of no return and we now have the solutions available to really solve this crisis," Gore said. [...] Gore would not name the apocalyptic catastrophe he is alluding to... because there isn't one.  The only thing we are at risk for here is being bored to death by Al Gore.  [Video clip]

Al Gore Can't Save the Global Warming Cult.  Following Donald Trump's withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord, Al Gore is releasing an update of his 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth.  It's called An Inconvenient Sequel:  Truth to Power, in which no doubt we will hear the same apocalyptic hysteria of its predecessor, and the same lurid predictions that will never come true.

Black Activists Criticize Gore for Comparing Climate Change Advocacy to Fight Against Slavery.  Al Gore was in Australia Thursday [7/13/2017] promoting his new video, "An Inconvenient Sequel," the follow-up to Gore's 2006 "An Inconvenient Truth."  While speaking to attendees of the EcoCity World Summit in Melbourne, the former vice president compared climate change advocates to those who worked to end slavery, promoted civil rights and women's suffrage, battled apartheid in South Africa, and worked for gay rights.  He said those activists had also experienced "ferocious resistance" to their cause.  Global warming advocacy is a movement that stifles dissent from the dominant scientific view, ruins the careers of people who disagree, threatens to throw skeptics in jail, and actively works to prevent the publication of alternate theories in respected scientific journals.  But resistance to global warming hysteria is "ferocious."

Al Gore Likened The Climate Change Movement To Campaign Ending Slavery.  Former Vice President Al Gore compared the fight to end man-made global warming to the abolishment of slavery and the push for gay marriage.  "The abolition of slavery, woman's suffrage ... and more recently the gay rights movement," Gore said Thursday about the importance of staying ahead of the curve on environmental issues.  The mission to reduce the Earth's temperature is on par with other "great moral causes" that have improved humanity, he told an audience at the EcoCity World Summit in Australia.  Gore has made similar comments in the past.  He told reporters in 2013 that so-called climate change "deniers" are like alcoholic fathers who act belligerently when someone mentions the issue.

Why the Russians Conceived the Global Warming Scam.  The big event, as [Natalie] Grant called it, was a Moscow conference in January, 1990.  As Time magazine described it, "At a meeting of the Global Forum in Moscow in 1990, when he was still Soviet President, Gorbachev proposed an organization roughly analogous to the International Red Cross to contend with environmental problems that cross national boundaries."  Among the guests and speakers was then-U.S. senator and future vice president Al Gore.  Talk about "collusion" with the Russians!  Where was the FBI investigation?

Al Gore Says God Told Him to Fight Global Warming.  Former Vice President Al Gore is now telling his climate disciples that God commands us to go forth and fight global warming.  Engaging in some advanced publicity for his new global warming film spectacular, "An Inconvenient Sequel," Gore told Interview Magazine that God didn't create global warming and wants us to fix it.  In his comments, Gore equated the fight against global warming to a religious-based, moral crusade similar to the civil rights fight, women's suffrage, and the abolitionist movement during the Civil War era.  Gore insisted that it is a moral imperative to fight against climate change.

The Editor says...
Has God lost control of global temperatures, so that he needs Al Gore's assistance?  And while God was in conversation with Mr. Gore, do you suppose the Lord mentioned anything else?

It's the theory of Global Warming that's really dangerous.  Watching Chris Wallace's interview this week with the man who almost became our president, I wonder how many Americans realize that this man is either a complete fool or a superb con man.  But what does that say about the rest of the country who swears that climate change is not only more dangerous than Islamic jihadists but that disaster is imminent?  Have we really become an idiocracy of fools believing whatever talking heads and celebrities spout about doom and gloom without finding out the truth for ourselves?

Fox News' Chris Wallace Confronts Al Gore With His Failed Global Warming Predictions.  "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace confronted former Vice President Al Gore on his 2006 claim that unless drastic action was taken humanity would face a "true planetary emergency" in the next decade.  "Unless we take drastic measures the world would reach a point of no return within 10 years," which Gore said would precipitate a "true planetary crisis" due to man-made global warming.  Wallace pointed out it's been 11 years since Gore made the claim in his 2006 film "An Inconvenient Truth," and there doesn't seem to be a planetary emergency.  So did Gore admit he was wrong?  Of course not!

Al Gore and "Climate" Warriors Demand $15 Trillion to Save Earth.  Former Vice President and self-styled inventor of the Internet Al Gore, infamous primarily for his many debunked prophecies about global-warming doom, is demanding that humanity fork over another $15 trillion to supposedly save the planet from alleged man-made "climate change."  In a report produced by his new group of crony capitalists and tax-funded climate alarmists, dubbed the "Energy Transitions Commission" (ETC), Gore and his allies demand as much as $600 billion annually for decades to help meet the goals laid out in the collapsing United Nations pseudo-treaty on climate known as the Paris Agreement.  Critics, though, ridiculed Gore and his cronies, suggesting this was merely their latest scam to fleece taxpayers around the globe.  The ETC, which despite its official-sounding name has no formal ties to government, is backed by and made up of investors, Big Oil bosses, energy companies, fringe "climate" activists, megabanks, UN bureaucrats, Chinese Communists, academics, and other self-interested cronies.  In short, it is an alliance hoping to profit from the imploding "climate" scare by putting a global government-mandated "price" on emissions of the essential gas carbon dioxide, exhaled by people and known to scientists as the "gas of life."  Despite all of the hysteria pushed by profiteers such as Gore, human emissions of CO2 make up a fraction of one percent of all the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.  But by being able to tax and regulate it, governments and their Big Business allies will make a fortune at humanity's expense.

A fool's errand:  Al Gore's $15 trillion carbon tax.  Al Gore wants to reverse modernity and save the world from itself through an elimination of its fossil-fuel-based energy system.  During the final week of April, his newly created Energy Transitions Commission released a document setting forth a fool's-errand pathway to "decarbonize" the world's energy system.  If this sounds familiar, it is.  Gore's plan features a new, sophisticated, and expensive public-relations campaign, but it's all based on his views on carbon dioxide first broached in his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, which he reissued in 2000 for his failed presidential campaign.  The subsequent efforts made by Gore during the past 25 years have transformed little from their genesis, and he remains as tragically wrong today as he was when he first surfaced as an opponent of everything linked to carbon-dioxide.

Al Gore's New Group Demands $15 Trillion To Fight Global Warming.  A group of executives who want to fight global warming has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment.  The Energy Transitions Commission's (ETC) report claims "additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge," which they say will help the world meet the goals laid out in the Paris agreement.  ETC is made up of energy executives, activist leaders and investment bankers, including former Vice President Al Gore, who would no doubt get a piece of the trillions of dollars they are calling for.

Al Gore Has Made Another Science Fiction Movie About Global Warming.  No doubt Gore's next fabulous fable will show "evidence" that man is dangerously warming his planet by pointing out some things that are different than they were in 2006 and fit the warming alarmists' claims that human-driven climate change is going to make things hotter, colder, wetter, drier, windier, less windy, snowier and less snowy.  But what hasn't changed is the global temperature.  It simply won't budge no matter how much the alarmists want it to soar.  Sea levels aren't cooperating with the Goreites, either, rising in slow motion just as they have for quite a few millennia.

So how did the California drought end?  On Nov. 12, 2009, [Al] Gore told the Tonight Show the earth was several million degrees two kilometers below the surface.  He was only about 100% off which is as close as most of his predictions.  Normally when someone is that far off they are not considered an expert.  The reason Gore and others won't debate is because they use a computer model instead of facts to support their theory.  I blame the media for the indoctrination and fear mongering because they never ask questions.  They call it settled science.  It's about time the media starts asking questions before the greedy powerful government destroys the economy.

State of the Climate: 10 years after Al Gore declared a 'planetary emergency' — top 10 reasons Gore was wrong.  [#3] Despite all the self-congratulatory international conferences and pseudo-agreements, the world has done nothing to "fight global warming."  Mr. Gore cannot claim that his deadline has been extended because some governments have forced their citizens to cut carbon dioxide emissions.  CO2 levels keep climbing and now exceed 401 parts per million in the atmosphere.  It is simply not the dangerous greenhouse gas we've repeatedly been told it is.

Five Reasons Why Ridicule Is The Proper Response To Global Warming Alarmists.  [#3] They're hypocrites.  Every year, delegates, many of them on private jets, fly to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, from where they hector the rest of us about our carbon footprints.  The busybodies also regularly jet to the U.N.'s global warming conferences, held in such global hot spots as Paris, Cancun, Copenhagen and Milan.  Wherever they go, their accommodations are always lavish, their travels well attended to, and their dining sumptuous.  Of course their goal is to strip 21st-century comforts from everyone else in the name of "fighting" climate change.  The hypocrite-in-chief is of course Al Gore.  While constantly haranguing the world about man's carbon emissions, he's lived the very lifestyle he condemns.  From a 20-room home that requires yacht-loads of energy, to banking as much as $100 million from the oil barons who bought his old cable network, to his habit of using private jets to whisk him away to preach his sermons about the evils of fossil-fuel use, his life is a lie.

Inconvenient Truth:  Shultz and Baker's Disastrously Mistimed Carbon Tax.  Ah, a tax!  Who would have thought of that?  Actually Al Gore, who did something similar with the help of some particularly greedy hedge-fund types.  They called it a "carbon exchange" and it is now extinct, although several of its founders, including Gore, made fortunes.

Why Are Republicans Pushing Brand New Taxes?  This week, a group of old-guard Republicans and business leaders — including Reagan administration officials, former Wal-Mart chairman Rob Walton, and venture capitalist Thomas Stephenson — were in the White House pitching a new carbon tax to fight global warming.  The idea is to impose a $40 tax for every ton of CO2 emitted in exchange for a "signicant" rollback in EPA regulations. [...] But dig just a little deeper and you can easily see that this new carbon tax won't deliver on any of promises being made.  First, no matter where it starts, this new tax, like everyone other one ever enacted, will grow in size and complexity.  The Council itself wants it to "increase steadily over time."  And they had to add another new tax on imports to prevent countries that don't impose a comparable carbon fee from taking advantage.  No matter how well constructed, this tax will redirect resources away from their most productive uses and into government coffers.  That is not how you strengthen an economy.

An inconvenient stretcher.  Bold predictions have a way of disappointing.  Al Gore, whose extreme forecasts of climate catastrophe have yet to prove out, should take note.  Blunders in the digital age are difficult to erase.  That moving finger writes in permanent ink.  Mr. Gore, a self-described "recovering politician" who has gone from Washington to fame and million-dollar fortune (and then some) as a super environmentalist, blustered in 2006 that unless radical reductions in greenhouse gases that cause global warming were enforced within 10 years the earth would pass the point of no return and be rendered inhospitable or even uninhabitable for children and other living things.  He repeated the warning the other day at the Sundance Film Festival, promoting a sequel to his film, "An Inconvenient Truth," which touched off a fossil-fuel backlash that has since been enshrined in government policy.

Al Gore will host canceled climate change summit.  Climate activist and former vice president Al Gore is teaming up with the American Public Health Association and other organizations to hold a summit on climate change and health that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention canceled earlier this week.  The CDC quietly called off the summit after President Trump's inauguration, telling reporters it was "exploring options to reschedule the meeting."  The scientific community has accused CDC officials of canceling the event out of fear of the Trump administration.  The CDC falls under the Department of Health and Human Services, and Trump has nominated Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), who has expressed skepticism about the scientific consensus on climate change, to lead the department.

Al Gore Dodges a Question About Why His '10 Year' Warning Was an Inconvenient Falsehood.  Al Gore had predicted, in his highly disproven Inconvenient Truth, that we had only ten years to figure out the climate change disaster, before the sea levels engulfed the coasts and the temperatures rose so much that we would all face annihilation.  That was over ten years ago.  So, while at the Sundance Film Festival, Gore was confronted about this "ten year" lie, and he dodged the question.  Not only did he dodge it, but he did so while getting into a gas-guzzling SUV in the middle of a snowy winter.  [Video clip]

Trump and the Climate Change Clown Show.  Polar ice caps are a good barometer of global temperatures.  If the ice caps are melting, the planet is likely warming.  Environmental soothsayer Al Gore recognized this and made a bold prediction in 2008.  He told a German audience that the northern polar ice cap would disappear in five years.  How did his prediction turn out?  Not well. [...] Polar ice caps are measured via satellite, a process beginning in 1979.  Recent NASA satellite data shows no recession of the polar ice caps since 1979.  In fact, since 2012, the total extent of polar ice is above post-1979 average.  The ice caps are growing, not shrinking.  In the words of Al Gore, this is "an inconvenient truth."

Embarrassing Predictions Haunt the Global-Warming Industry.  [Scroll down]  Perhaps nowhere have the alarmists' predictions been proven as wrong as at the Earth's poles.  In 2007, 2008, and 2009, Al Gore, the high priest for a movement described by critics as the "climate cult," publicly warned that the North Pole would be "ice-free" in the summer by around 2013 because of alleged "man-made global warming."  Speaking to an audience in Germany five years ago, Gore — sometimes ridiculed as "The Goracle" — alleged that "the entire North Polarized [sic] cap will disappear in five years."  "Five years," Gore said again, in case anybody missed it the first time, is "the period of time during which it is now expected to disappear."  The following year, Gore made similar claims at a UN "climate" summit in Copenhagen.  "Some of the models ... suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years," Gore claimed in 2009.  "We will find out."  Yes, we have found out.  Contrary to the predictions by Gore and fellow alarmists, satellite data showed that Arctic ice volume as of summer of 2013 had actually expanded more than 50 percent over 2012 levels.

The other inconvenient truth: millennials won't listen to Al Gore.  One reason so many liberal millennials voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary is they didn't want to see another Clinton in the White House.  They want change — less inequality, better health care, smarter climate policies, a fix to the student debt crisis — not more of the same.  Clinton's biggest challenge with young voters, who tend to lean left, and who should be on board with many of her policies, is that she represents the old guard.  Gore only will underscore this problem.  He's the very oldest of the old guard.

Hillary rolls out ManBearPig to attract young voters.  You see there is this satirical cartoon show called South Park.  It mocked the tar out of Al Gore's gloom-and-doom predictions.  Millennials likely consider him to be a bigger joke than Dan Quayle.

Soros Paid Al Gore Millions To Push 'Aggressive US Action' On Global Warming.  Liberal billionaire George Soros gave former Vice President Al Gore's environmental group millions of dollars over three years to create a "political space for aggressive U.S. action" on global warming, according to leaked documents.  A document published by DC Leaks shows Soros, a Hungarian-born liberal financier, wanted his nonprofit Open Society Institute (OSI) to do more to support global warming policies in the U.S.  That included budgeting $10 million in annual support to Gore's climate group over three years.

Al Gore confuses sensational TV propaganda with science.
Al Gore:  TV News on Extreme Weather 'Like a Nature Hike Through Book of Revelation'.  Former Vice President Al Gore said on Thursday that the news reports of extreme weather, which he believes is caused by climate change, is like the end days described in the Bible's New Testament's Book of Revelation.  "The climate-related extreme weather events — and I won't go through all of them — but every night on the television news now is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation," Gore said at the Climate Action 2016 summit in Washington, D.C.

Yes, Let's Prosecute Climate-Change Fraud — and Start with the Scaremongers.  I've got three ideas:  [#1] United States v.  Al Gore.  Ten years ago, the former vice president of the United States launched an extraordinarily lucrative career by selling climate doomsday.  While promoting his Oscar-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, he made a shockingly false statement.  He said that unless the world took "drastic measures" to reduce greenhouse gases, it would reach a "point of no return" in ten years.  Ten years have passed.  Is there a scientific consensus that the world has reached a "point of no return?" No?  Gore's documentary grossed almost $50 million worldwide.  I'd suggest that number as a starting point for damages.

The profits of doom.  "Doomsayer" is probably not on Al Gore's resume but it's as descriptive as "almost president."  It perfectly describes the attention he has attracted in the decade since he took to the stage at the Sundance Film Festival and set off global warming fears with his agitprop film, "An Inconvenient Truth."  "Humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan," one terrified reviewer, who is presumably still unfried, put it.  Humankind has blown past the point of no return that he said would render the damage from man-made greenhouse gases irreversible.  Yet the world continues to turn, not burn.

24 days to Al Gore's '10 years to save the planet' and 'point of no return' planetary emergency deadline.  The real point here is to note that, no matter whether you are looking at the satellite record or the surface temperature record, is that the temperature hasn't risen dramatically in the last 10 years, and the dramatic spikes we see in the surface and satellite temperature records correspond to a natural event that's been going on for millennia:  El Niño.

Five Ways We Know Al Gore's Been Running a Global Warming Racket.  While preening at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2006 during the premiere of his "An Inconvenient Truth" fib-umentary, Gore made his grand declaration.  The former vice president said, in the words of the AP reporter taking down his story, that "unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return."  In Gore's own words, he claimed we were in "a true planetary emergency."  Ten years later, he's probably hoping that everyone has forgotten about his categorical statement.  The terrible truth for Gore is that there is no planetary emergency.  Not one of the dire predictions he and the rest of the alarmist community made has come to pass.  In fact, there is plenty of evidence that they have been running a racket.

The Daily Caller Presents: The 23 Least Intriguing People Of 2015.  [#14] Last seen urgently flying about on huge, toxin-spewing jet airplanes to and from his several comfortably climate-controlled homes, Al Gore is the living, breathing definition of a washed-up has-been.  But at least he is eating well.  That perpetually crazy look in his eyes he had for years after he lost a close election to George W. Bush in 2000 seems to have subsided as well.

Money and Power Drive Obama's Climate Agenda.  Why did former Vice-President Al Gore repeatedly declare that he was going to become "the first global warming billionaire," did that not pique any journalist's curiosity as to what was behind the curtain?  After losing his bid for the presidency, becoming the first global warming billionaire was Gore's road not only to extraordinary wealth, but a guarantee of his return to global influence.  Set up to unfold was a "golden parachute" scheme that would line the pockets of a cadre of elitists and global-warming advocates long after they were displaced from their seats of power.  This scheme used deceptive means to a profitable end.  Few realize that the "green movement" is about building large personal fortunes for an elite few.

The Climate Is Indeed Changing: Cooling Ahead.  Dr. David Evans was a climate modeler for the Australian government.  He has six degrees in applied mathematics.  In analyzing "complex mathematical assumptions widely used to predict climate change," he predicts stable temperatures until 2017, after which the Earth will cool for the next decade, ushering in a mini-ice age by 2030.  Dr. Evans is a true academic.  Compare and contrast with our very own climate expert, former vice president Al Gore.  At Harvard, Mr. Gore earned a D in a natural sciences course named "Man's Place in Nature."  He improved by his senior year, earning a C+ in another natural sciences class.  Moving on to Vanderbilt divinity school, Gore flunked 5 classes, including a course in theology and natural science.  Yet Mr. Gore is viewed as a visionary, an oracle.

Local Silicon Valley Scientists 'Brightening' Clouds To Combat Climate Change.  In a Silicon Valley research lab, scientists are working on what might be considered the option of last resort for global warming.  "It's an insurance policy," said researcher Sudhanshu Jain.  It's called the Marine Cloud Brightening Project, and it's designed to fight global warming by making cloudsover the ocean thicker and brighter so they reflect more sunlight and cool the planet.  The Sunnyvale team has reached a milestone with this high-pressure nozzle that uses salt water and looks like a normal water spray.

What method of propulsion will power those ships?  One could reasonably surmise that they will be powered by oil-fired boilers or massive 16-cylinder diesel engines.  And what would be the best possible outcome?  Global warming would come to a halt.  Well, guess what — global warming has already stopped.  So "the option of last resort" isn't necessary after all.

Al Gore's Grassroots Fight.  In India, Aditya Pundir is training teachers to talk to middle school, high school, and college students about climate change.  In Brazil, Roberto Vámos is meeting with high-ranking government officials to push for a strong pledge to cut greenhouse-gas emissions.  In Australia, Adam Majcher is laying the groundwork for major rallies calling for action on climate change.  All three work for Al Gore.  Climate Reality Project, Gore's green group, is recruiting activists in eight countries expected to play a key role at a major climate summit in Paris later this year.

Gore says climate-change deniers should pay political price.  Former Vice President Al Gore on Friday [3/13/2015] called on SXSW attendees to punish climate-change deniers, saying politicians should pay a price for rejecting "accepted science."  Gore said smart investors are moving away from companies tied to fossil fuels and toward companies investing in alternative energy.

Al Gore: Climate Deniers Need To Pay A Price.  While all of the wild Global Warming predictions of the Climate Priest, Al Gore, have all proven untrue, there are still those on the Progressive left who take heed of his words.  Recently, the words Al Gore has been spewing are a part of the Climate Denier witch hunt that is currently being waged by the left.

Vox's Ezra Klein: 'Al Gore Should Run For President' to Combat the 'Existential Threat' of Climate Change.  Many Democrats would like to see a first-tier figure challenge Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.  Vox editor-in-chief Ezra Klein agrees, but his choice isn't Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or Martin O'Malley.  On Monday [3/16/2015], Klein sent up a trial balloon emblazoned with the name of Al Gore.  As Klein sees it, reducing the "existential threat" of climate change should be the main theme of a Gore candidacy, though he admitted that the issue might end up costing Gore votes.  That said, it's a risk that could pay off big if Gore's elected, since "climate change is an issue where the president has real unilateral authority."

Al Gore: America's Unofficial Climate Czar.  Just the mere mention of Gore's name either wows those who hang on his every word as gospel or nauseates others who would rather eat a dirt sandwich then sit through his lecture.  There seems to be no middle ground either.  Some attendees were psychologically pumped by his seemingly vast knowledge of our eroding ozone layer noticeable by their cheers, applause and standing ovation.

Al Gore Leaves People's Climate March in Chevy Suburban SUV.  Former Vice President Al Gore made his exit from Sunday's [9/21/2014] climate change march in New York City in a Chevrolet Suburban SUV after speaking to reporters about renewable energy.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore sells his soul to Big Carbon - Again.  Billionaire carbon trader Al Gore has thrown away the last remnants of his credibility by appearing on a platform with Australia's most notorious mining magnate Clive Palmer to celebrate the end of Australia's carbon tax. [...] Palmer is a colourful character with a fortune estimated at $3.85 billion.

Gore: The Keystone XL pipeline is "ridiculous," an "atrocity," a "threat."  Self-titled "environmentalists'" recalcitrance on acknowledging the reality that Canada's oil sands are coming out of the ground — regardless of whether or not the Keystone pipeline's northern extension is built — truly knows no bounds.  It's only too bad they don't seem to realize that terrestrial pipelines are the relatively cleaner, safer, and more environmentally friendly method of transport for oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, and that by blocking the pipeline, they're probably doing more environmental harm than good in the long run.

Al Gore: 'There needs to be a political price' for climate 'denial'.  Former vice president Al Gore on Monday [9/23/2013] called for making climate change "denial" a taboo in society.  "Within the market system we have to put a price on carbon, and within the political system, we have to put a price on denial," Gore said at the Social Good Summit New York City.

Next year, perhaps it will be called the Double-Plus Good Summit.

Wrong: Al Gore Predicted Arctic Summer Ice Could Disappear in 2013.  A 2007 prediction that summer in the North Pole could be "ice-free by 2013" that was cited by former Vice President Al Gore in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech has proven to be off... by 920,000 square miles.  In his Dec. 10, 2007 "Earth has a fever" speech, Gore referred to a prediction by U.S. climate scientist Wieslaw Maslowski that the Arctic's summer ice could "completely disappear" by 2013 due to global warming caused by carbon emissions.

Man Made Climate Change Arguments Don't Survive Scrutiny.  Proponents of man-made climate change are being challenged more and more by scientists who don't buy into the climate catastrophe scare.  The arguments used to dismiss the challengers range from calling the non-believers names such as president Obama's "flat earthers" and his use of the term "denier" which is meant to equate non-believers with holocaust deniers, very un-presidential.  Al Gore is the champion of the name calling using terms such as racists, homophobes, alcoholics and smokers among others to describe those who dare dispute what he preaches, after all he was Vice-President.  That means he's smart right?

Al Gore's Incredible Shrinking Climate Change Footprint.  [Scroll down]  In 2009, at its peak, Gore's group had more than 300 employees, with 40 field offices across 28 states, and a serious war chest:  It poured $28 million into advertising and promotion, and paid about $200,000 in lobbying fees at the height of the cap-and-trade energy bill fight on Capitol Hill.  Today, the group has just over 30 people on staff and has abandoned its on-the-ground presence — all of its field offices have since shut down — in favor of a far cheaper digital advocacy plan run out of Washington.  Advertising expenses have decreased from the millions to the thousands, and the organization no longer lobbies lawmakers.

Why Al Gore's Warming Fibs Matter.  Al Gore has done it again.  Having been repeatedly lambasted for making exaggerated claims and telling outright lies in order to promote his environmentalist agenda, he's now committed another gaffe that will further undermine his credibility and that of his cause.

Up to our ears in Al Gore's 'climate change' snake oil.  The inconvenient truth Al and the junk scientists have to deal with is that temperatures aren't rising, but falling.  In fact, since the early 1990s we've had global cooling.  It got so embarrassing Al and the junk scientists started calling it "climate change."  Some days it rains, some days it doesn't and some days it's a little of both.  That's real change.

Gore Rammed Through Current TV Deal to Avoid Tax Hikes.  Al Gore may not have to worry about global warming destroying the earth after all.  As it turns out, his massive hypocrisy may destroy the universe before global warming can fully kick in.  Gore, an ardent proponent of raising taxes, just sold Current TV, his highly unsuccessful TV network that lost hundreds of millions of dollars, to Al Jazeera — a fitting end for a network that features terrorist-friendly programming.

Granholm Quits Current TV After Sale to Al-Jazeera.  Jennifer Granholm has been touted as one of Current TV Network's rising stars, but after the announcement that the cable network was sold to Arab-owned Al-Jazeera, she has announced she's quitting her TV show.

The Al Jazeera Deal: How Al Gore Race-Baited His Way to a $100M Pay Day.  One of America's great legal rackets is cable/satellite television, where somewhere around 100 million Americans pay for literally dozens of channels they never watch.  As you well know, to do business with any cable/satellite provider means being forced into expensive tiers and/or packages that include channels we wouldn't watch for free.  Because of this, we're not only forced into subsidizing junk; we're also subsidizing programming that works against our own political and cultural beliefs, like MSNBC, CNN, OWN, MTV, etc.

Years ago, somebody was the first to sell rifles to the Indians, and more recently, somebody else was the first to sell bandwidth to Al-Jazeera.
Terror TV Pays Al Gore $100 Million for U.S. Media Access.  Al-Jazeera, once considered the voice of Osama bin-Laden and known for anti-American and anti-Semitic rhetoric, has announced the purchase of Al Gore's low-rated cable channel, Current TV, in a transparent attempt to buy access to the U.S. media market for operatives of the pro-terrorist Muslim Brotherhood.  Gore has reportedly made $100 million from the $500 million deal.

That's hypocritic-Al.  Start with Al Gore, the low-hanging fruit in the "say one thing, do another" culture.  With his sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera, the almost-president instantly doubled his charlatan quotient.  The blowhard who often proclaims the end of the world is nigh because of fossil fuels sold his TV business to the emir of Qatar, king of the oil patch. [...] He also reportedly wanted to finalize the deal before the end of the year so his $100 million windfall wouldn't be subject to new higher tax rates he zealously supported.

The Democrats' War on Science Aids Our Enemies.  [T]his week Al Gore, anti-carbon fuel drum major, made a cool $100 million selling his 20% share in the failing, unwatched Current TV to Arab Al-Jazeera, owned by major carbon fuel producers.  (His partner, Joel Hyatt, son-in-law of former Ohio Democratic senator Howard Metzenbaum, also benefited mightily.)  It's hard to conclude that this $500 million Al-Jazeera purchase is anything other than a payoff for effectively hampering the exploitation of American carbon fuels and advocating openly for giving a cable entrée to this Arab-broadcasting network. Current TV isn't worth anything like the price paid for it.

The New Liberal Aristocracy.  [Scroll down]  Gore rushed to close the deal before the first of the year to avoid the very capital-gains tax hikes that he has advocated for others less well off.  That's a liberal trifecta:  enhancing a fossil-fuel consortium, attempting to beat tax hikes, and empowering an anti-American and anti-Semitic media conglomerate run by an authoritarian despot — all from a former vice president of the United States who crusades for ending our reliance on fossil fuels and for raising taxes on the wealthy.

Al Gore profits from the stealth jihad.  It is hard to overstate the magnitude of this treachery.  Imagine the furor that would have erupted if, during the Cold War, one of the United States' most prominent former leaders had enriched himself to the tune of $100 million by giving the Soviet Union's intelligence service, the KGB, a vehicle for engaging in information and political warfare in some 40 million homes across this land.

Al Gore is now 'richer than Romney'.  Someone finally has done all the math on the recent sale of Al Gore's Current TV to the Arabic language channel Al-Jazeera for $500 million.  Jobs were lost, buzz created, employees angered, but the former vice president had little to say about it.  He did walk away with a reported $100 million — a tidy sum for a man who had less that $2 million in assets when he ran for president more than a dozen years ago, says Forbes magazine.

Al Gore's Oil-Fueled Al-Jazeera Deal Follows A String Of Green Energy Fiascos.  Al-Jazeera, the anti-Israeli network funded by Qatar, closed a deal with the struggling left-wing cable station Current TV founded by Al Gore which gives the them access to 40 million U.S. homes.  Unfortunately for Mr. Gore, the purchase wasn't consummated until January 2nd, depriving him of success in his efforts to beat the clock on an estimated $100 million payback before higher tax rates kicked in on January 1.

Who's Worse — Al Gore or Bernie Madoff?  Whatever else he is, Gore is arguably a business genius when it comes to generating massive amounts of income from dubious enterprises and, unlike Bernie Madoff, getting away with it.

Congress Must hold Hearings into the Al Jazeera Deal.  If Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) lets the Al Jazeera-Al Gore deal go through without scrutiny, then every broadcast entity or communications facility in America is ripe for the plucking by any of our nation's enemies and adversaries.  For those who haven't been paying attention lately, the government of Qatar has announced a deal through Al Jazeera with former Democratic Vice President Al Gore for his Current TV cable channel, in order to transform it into an arm of its Jihadist or "Terror TV" network, once known as a mouthpiece for mass murderer Osama bin Laden.  They are planning to call it "Al Jazeera America," when the oil money for the transaction is coming from abroad.

Al Gore Declares Mission Accomplished; Gray Lady Hardest Hit.  [Scroll down]  How can they, when Al Gore has just declared Mission Accomplished for environmentalism?  He's got his $100 [sic] payout, and the rest of the world is left wondering why we should care about a religion when its chief practitioner has just signed his non-aggression pact with Big Oil.

Al Gore is now richer than Mitt Romney — and it's all thanks to big oil.  Al Gore's strategy for saving the Earth seems to be to raise enough money to be able to buy it.  After selling his failing Current TV company to Al Jazeera, Gore is suddenly a super rich man.  Forbes analyst Ryan Mac says, "Taking into account taxes to be paid on the deal, possible earlier debt and the fact that Gore's representatives declined to comment, Forbes conservatively estimates the former vice president's net worth to be at least $300 million."

Al Gore defends Al Jazeera.  Al Gore cannot escape questions about the recent sale of Current TV, the news channel he founded seven years ago, to Al Jazeera, the Arabic language channel based in Qatar.  Critics question the reported $100 million profit Mr. Gore made on the sale and they fret the transaction gives the network a leap of influence in broadcast markets around the world.

See Al Squirm: Gore Faces Tough Questions on Al Jazeera Deal.  Word to the wise: If you're going to strike a deal that you're maybe not entirely proud of, wait until after your book tour to announce it.  Al Gore did things the other way around and all this week he's been paying the price for it, in the form of having to answer awkward questions about the $500 million sale of his Current TV network to Al Jazeera.

Activists to demand a congressional investigation of Al Gore and Al Jazeera.  A call for a congressional investigation of Al Gore's recent business dealings with Al Jazeera looms.  Coming to the National Press Club on Tuesday [2/5/2013] to announce their demand for close attention:  Cliff Kincaid, president of America's Survival; Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative; plus Jerry Kenney, who has previously filed complaints with the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission over what he calls Al Jazeera's "illegal broadcasts into the U.S."

Al Jazeera and the Global Jihad in America.  By refusing to investigate the Al Gore/Al Jazeera deal, it would appear that Capitol Hill "conservatives" like Republican Reps. Michael McCaul, Steve Scalise, and Paul Broun are adopting the view that we have nothing to fear from the global jihad and its instruments of propaganda being positioned on U.S. soil.

Al Gore's disastrous book tour: a breath of fresh air.  There has always been something strangely fascinating to me about Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.  Maybe it's those stern Superman looks that make him seem resentful that we woke him up to save Gotham.  Or the Jekyll and Hyde lector-hector duality in his persona.  Perhaps it's his improbable ascendancy to Nobel Laureate through less-than-fastidious science.  Or the breathtaking hypocrisy of his personal carbon footprint.

Al Gore: Obama's Science Czar 'Completely Nuts'.  Later in Gore's segment with Ellen, they discussed ways that individual citizens can stop global warming / cooling / climate change / climate chaos / whatever it's called this week.  Curiously though, not selling out to Big Oil for $100 mil after previously declaring your pet cause "an ecological Kristallnacht" didn't make the list.  Unexpectedly.

Al Gore's $500 Million Trojan Horse.  Al Gore is doing a great job of following in his daddy's footsteps to greener pastures in the purely monetary sense.  After losing his Senate seat from Tennessee in 1970, Albert Gore Sr. used his political connections to help oil baron Armand Hammer, the head of Occidental Petroleum, which struck it rich in Libya with the help of visas that the elder Gore helped to procure when he was a U.S. senator.

Gore's Al Jazeera Deal Now a Major Scandal.  While the lawsuit over the sale of Al Gore's Current TV to Al Jazeera is making headlines, a close reading of the legal complaint provides additional evidence that a congressional investigation into the curious transaction is urgently needed and necessary.

'No such thing as ethical oil,' Al Gore tells Toronto audience.  [Scroll down]  In a public interview with The Globe and Mail's editor-in-chief, John Stackhouse, Mr. Gore also spoke of his wish that U.S. president Barack Obama would cancel the Keystone XL pipeline intended to transport heavy crude from the Alberta oil sands to U.S. refineries.

Gore: 'There's no such thing as ethical oil'.  Former Vice President Gore on Tuesday [5/7/2013] said "there's no such thing as ethical oil," slamming the notion that importing oil from U.S. ally Canada was better than doing so from unfriendly nations.  "There's no such thing as ethical oil.  There's only dirty oil and dirtier oil," Gore told Canada's The Globe and Mail during a Tuesday event in Toronto.

Al Gore Makes A Crackpot Statement About Dirty Oil.  Speaking before an audience gathered by the Toronto Globe and Mail, the former vice president rejected the idea that oil from Alberta is "ethical oil" because, in the words of Globe and Mail editor-in-chief John Stackhouse, it is produced by a democratic nation that is committed to human rights. [...] While Gore's overall point is pure crackpottery, he is partly right.  There is no such thing as ethical oil.  But neither is there a such thing as unethical oil.  It is an inanimate commodity without moral orientation.

CNBC Host: Al Gore a 'Charlatan,' and a 'Villain.'  Most of the media may be convinced by Al Gore-style climate alarmism, but CNBC's Joe Kernen isn't afraid to speak his mind. [...] Kernen expressed skepticism in global warming and in its importance to the business community.  He criticized climate change models, saying "at this point, the data is not going the models' way."  In fact, even some climate alarmists have admitted that their models are failing.

Al Gore's global-warming rhetoric is put on ice.  The Oscar-winning 2006 documentary that shows [Al] Gore giving a scary slide show, "An Inconvenient Truth," catapulted him into winning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with fellow climate hysterics of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. [...] Gore's vision of a world plagued by rising seas and rampant tropical diseases, which he preaches can be averted only if Americans drive hybrid cars and replace energy-guzzling dryers with outdoor clothes lines, is as false as the notion that the ice sheet is melting in the North Pole, threatening to drown frisky polar bears.  The "entire North Polar ice cap will be gone in five years," Gore, now 65, told a German TV audience in 2008.  Wrong.

Al Gore Brings Climate Change message to Kansas City.  Al Gore has been known for his climate change warnings since the 2006 film "An Inconvenient Truth."  But the former vice president, speaking Saturday in Kansas City, cited many more recent examples how heavy use of fossil fuels is contributing to extreme weather events and trends, in his view.  Gore filled a Westin Crown Center ballroom with a 90-minute presentation, using photos and videos to illustrate a litany of floods, wildfires, torrential rains, droughts, dust storms, rising sea levels and increasing world temperatures.

Climate Alarmists [are] Never Called Out For Spreading Fear.  Al Gore was at it again over the weekend, scaring people unnecessarily about global warming.  He, and others like him, should be held accountable for constantly trying to terrify the public. [...] The man has made a post-vice-presidency career of scaring people for no reason.  From his wildly exaggerated "Inconvenient Truth" movie to his claim years ago that the north polar ice cap would be gone by 2013 — it wasn't — to loopy predictions that "we're approaching this tipping point," Gore has been spreading hysteria and fright like a farmer sows seeds.  And so have the Democrats who have followed.  Just last week, Secretary of State John Kerry said global warming is "the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction."  He's clearly taking cues from his boss, President Obama, who has said that climate change is the "global threat of our time."

Stop the world, Barack wants off!  Some have called it the worst summer ever. [...] On the weather front, record cool temperatures were felt across much of the country.  Tornado activity was low, the hurricane season almost non-existent.  The polar ice caps are expanding.  Mercifully, Al Gore remained quiet about Global Warming, in his 10,000 square foot, energy-guzzling mansion.  Gore, however, sued Al Jazeera for $65 million dollars in fossil fuels-based money he claims the network is withholding.  Al Jazeera — no familial relation to Al Gore, despite the identical first name — is owned by the Qatari royal family.  Qatar is widely regarded as the primary sponsor of Hamas and a source of funds and weapons to the Islamic State, or ISIL, or ISIS, or....  Glad you kept your hands clean after you left public office, Al.

NASA Scientists:  Green Agenda Policies May Be Causing 'Global Warming'.  A group of NASA scientists is raising the alarm after a study found that globalist green agenda policies to supposedly fight "climate change" may actually be causing "global warming."  The NASA scientists believe that efforts to supposedly cool the Earth, such as Bill Gates's atmospheric aerosols experiments, are having the reverse effect and are dangerously warming the planet.  For decades, globalists have been promoting conflicting narratives in an effort to use the environment to push the public into accepting a collectivist agenda.

Unregulated US Climate Engineering Created Heat Waves In Europe.  We've gone from conspiracy theory to mad scientism in need of government regulation, which seems like a bad idea given that, like COVID, the government did this. [...] There's also a piece in the New York Times that mentions how there is no government regulation over geoengineering, which is also interesting.  In New Hampshire, we had a bill this past session that would regulate geoengineering.  HB1700 would prohibit "the intentional release of polluting emissions, including cloud seeding, weather modification, excessive electromagnetic radio frequency, and microwave radiation and making penalties for violation of such prohibition."  It came out of a committee inexpedient to legislate and died on the floor of the State House.

New study finds that geoengineering in one area has a negative impact everywhere else.  Nothing says unintended consequences like ill-conceived, leftist policy — but I repeat myself.  In the beginning of April of this year, the San Francisco Chronicle reported this:  ["]Bay Area hosts first-in-nation experiment to slow global warming — by helping clouds deflect sunlight [¶ In Alameda, scientists are embarking on a novel attempt to cool the Earth — by spraying salt into clouds. [...] ["] Barely a month later, the experiment was over, because of the high possibility of severe health concerns from the aerosol application of purported "salt water" into the clouds right over a water source and a large population of people[.] [...] After "evaluating the chemical compounds" used, city officials decided earlier this month against allowing the experiment to continue, largely citing the researchers concerning lack of transparency — so forgive me if I don't trust their research was simply innocuous salt water.

"Geo-Engineering Is the Most Dangerous Diabolical Thing That Has Ever Happened to Us."  [Scroll down]  Of course the reason that geoengineering is formally not happening, despite the ten thousand reports in the mainstream news, is that what is being put into the atmosphere above our heads is toxic.  As in very toxic, as in abiotic, so toxic that it's killing insects, bees, trees, ranges, forests, organic farmlands, grasslands, alkalizing the soil, diminishing crops, causing extreme weather swings, and finally, causing global warming.  The aerosolized metals, principally aluminium, entering the atmosphere are damaging every lung on the planet, causing spikes in brain diseases and cancer.  It is why the skies are so often a particulate chemical blue-grey, why the blue is just ...less blue.  It is why bees and insects are so sparse, it is why arthropods, those necessary little critters in the soil are present in a fraction of 30 years ago.

Almost All Recent Global Warming Caused by Green Air Policies — Shock Revelation From NASA.  The world of climate science is in shock following extraordinary findings from a team of high-powered NASA scientists that suggest most of the recent global temperature increases are due to the introduction of draconian fuel shipping regulations designed to help prevent global warming.  The fantasy world of Net Zero is of course full of unintended consequences, but it is claimed that the abrupt 80% cut in sulphur dioxide emissions from international shipping in 2020 has accounted for 80% of global warming since the turn of the decade.  Although the extra heat is described as "transient", the warming is extraordinary and is expected to rise during the 2020s at a rate of 0.24°C a decade, 20% higher than the claimed warming trend since 1980.  The news is likely to cause considerable concern among the mainstream climate hoaxers in media, academia and politics.  They have had a field day of late by pointing to rises in temperature as evidence for their evidence-free prediction that the climate is in danger of imminent collapse.

Wash Post Editorial Board follows orders of megalomaniac billionaires: 'Humans might need to re-engineer the climate'.  This is retro 1970s.  In the 1970s, they believed fossil fuels were creating aerosols blocking the sun, creating man-made global cooling.  So they came up with the same kind of geo-engineering solutions back then.  They wanted to put black soot on the Arctic to melt it.  There was one proposal was to use nuclear energy to loosen the Arctic ice caps because they thought they were growing too much.  John Holdren (Science Czar) in the Obama Administration supported geo-engineering, if you will, of the climate.  This is radical, risky, unproven, with unknown effects but they are doing it as a sort of lever over us.

Climate Alarmists Want To Fight The Sun.  What Could Possibly Go Wrong?  What should we say when one of America's pre-eminent media platforms endorses a plan so fraught with unknowns and pitfalls it invites potential global catastrophe?  That's what the editorial board at the Washington Post did on April 27 in a 1,000-word editorial endorsing plans by radical schemers and billionaires to engage in various efforts at geoengineering.  The Post's editors engage in an exercise of saying the quiet part out loud in the piece, morphing from referring to monkeying around with the world's ability to absorb sunlight as "a forbidden subject," to concluding it is "indispensable" and "urgent" in the course of a single opinion piece.  Sure, why not?  What could possibly go wrong with such a plan?  What could go wrong with plans to, say, block sunlight with thousands of high-altitude balloons?  Or with a plan that involves spraying the upper atmosphere with billions of tons of sulfur particles?  Or with a plan to spend trillions of debt-funded dollars to build a gargantuan shield placed in stationary orbit in outer space?

Scientists Conduct Experiment With Aerosols in the Sky to Fight Climate Change.  Unbeknownst to most people, scientists have begun to conduct a secretive experiment that involves shooting aerosols into the sky in the hope of preventing global warming.  Specifically, this is a solar geoengineering experiment in San Francisco that's trying to create brighter clouds that would, in theory at least, reflect more sunlight away from the earth.  [Video clip]

Climate change tests:  What could go wrong?  [Scroll down]  Apparently, we have nothing to worry about because they're only shooting small amounts of "safe aerosols" below any threshold for approvals or permits, and they don't expect any results from these tests because it is "not expected to have any impact on local weather or climate."  Whew!  I thought they were actually doing scientific tests to prove or disprove a hypothesis.  After all, that's what scientists do, right?  I'm an engineer and frankly it would be silly and fruitless for me to run a test that yields no results, so why bother?  Well, here's the kicker:  "However, the studies' relevance to climate intervention research requires registration with NOAA's Weather Modification reporting process, which was completed in March 2024." That was last month.  It seems they might be planning the "Big One."  After all, what's a test worth doing without real results that one can actually measure?

Sunday's Energy Absurdity: 'Scientists' Want $50 Billion for a Glacier Curtain.  In a story that could have only been provided by podcasting partner Stu Turley, a group of climate alarm devotee 'scientists' are lobbying signatories to an Eisenhower-era Antarctic Treaty to fork over $50 billion so they can construct a 62-mile "curtain" to protect the world from what they're calling a "doomsday glacier." [...] So, hey, just add another $50 billion or so to the tab of the Global Church of Climate Alarm.  This is almost as logical an investment in the whole giant outer-space umbrella other 'scientists' who adhere to the dogma of this climate cult want to build to block the sun, isn't it?  Sure, it is.  What could possibly go wrong?

Bizarre Geoengineering Project Floated to Save the World From "Doomsday Glacier".  An absurd geo-engineering project involving placing a 62-mile curtain in front of an Antarctic glacier to stop warm-water currents from melting it is being proposed by scientists.  The scientists are looking for $50 billion from the 29 nations who are signatories to the Antarctic Treaty, signed in 1959.  The United States is an original signatory to the treaty, which states that "Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only."  The glacier in question is known as Thwaites Glacier, a Great Britain-sized hunk of ice located in western Antarctica.  It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" by climate zealots because it can be subject to warmer ocean currents.  Climate alarmists claim that climate change, brought on by human emissions of greenhouse gases, is responsible for disrupting what they call "traditional ice thickening and thinning cycles" of the glacier.  Climate zealots worry that if the "Doomsday Glacier" collapses, it could lead to a global sea-level rise of up to 10 feet.  The same zealots tell us that a sea-level rise of just two feet would be catastrophic for coastal cities such as Miami, New Orleans, and New York.

U.S. Government Legalized Weather Modification Activities in 1971.  [Scroll down]  There are several problems with "weather modification activities" that are likely obvious to most people.  One is that government "experts" are often wrong and can cause severe harm to, and deaths of, millions of people due to their ignorance, negligence, or arrogance.  Then there is the phenomenon sometimes observed in science and medical research of the desire to be famous and make new discoveries regardless of how many human beings are (potentially secretly) used as guinea pigs.  Many people do not realize the dangerous philosophies on existence, living, and death that scientists and/or medical personnel might have. [...] Americans should be informed that there might be technologies which could modify the weather and those technologies might be used to propagate a hoax known as "climate change."

Scientists to begin spewing chalk and chemicals into the atmosphere to block sunlight?  Reports indicate that scientists will soon begin implementing a plan, promoted by Bill Gates and George Soros, to spew chalk dust and certain chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth's surface.  The creation of manmade white clouds would be an attempt to lower Earth's temperature and reverse global warming. [...] Is blocking sunlight really a good idea?  And we know this how?  Nothing on this scale has ever been done before.  As with the COVID mRNA vaccines, we really don't know how this will turn out.  Fingers crossed.  And this roll of the dice is on a cosmic scale!  To the extent that it has an effect, it will be the first instance in history of verifiable manmade climate change on a global scale, for better or worse.  Kind of ironic if you ask me. [...] Who authorized this assault on the atmosphere?  Surely Bill Gates and George Soros can't simply, unilaterally impose actions intended to affect weather and climate around the globe.  Did I miss something?  Did the world's citizens vote on this?

Scientists Hope to Fight Climate Change by Dumping Chemicals in the Ocean.  Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts are planning an experiment in which they will dump approximately 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide — a common ingredient in soaps, cleansers, and chemical pipe cleaners — into the waters off of Martha's Vineyard.  The experiment is a part of WHOI's LOC-NESS project, which seeks to ascertain whether artificial alkalinity enhancement of the Earth's oceans can help in global efforts to address so-called global warming, which climate activists claim is leading to out-of-control climate change.  The scientists at WHOI seek to determine if the world's oceans can be used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it, where it might have less of an effect on the Earth's climate system.  "Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) leverages a natural process to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by adding an alkaline solution to the sea surface," says WHOI's website.

Scientists Look To Fight Climate Change By Dumping 6,000 Gallons Of Chemicals Into Ocean Near Martha's Vineyard.  A team of scientists is looking to dump chemicals into waters off the coast of Massachusetts this summer to research whether doing so could be an effective counter to ocean acidification and climate change, according to The Wall Street Journal.  The project would see researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) pour approximately 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide — a component of lye — into waters ten miles away from Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, in August 2024, according to the WSJ.  The research project, estimated to cost about $10 million in total, will receive taxpayer funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provided the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signs off on releasing the chemicals.  The underlying concept is to see if the basic sodium hydroxide can reduce the acidity of ocean waters and make those waters more efficient repositories of carbon dioxide, according to the WSJ.

Giant Space Umbrellas or Hydrogen Bombs to Solve Warming.  The climate extremists, ignoring the fact that the earth has gone through cooling and warming phases, want to build a giant umbrella the size of Argentina to block the sun quickly.  If not, they could move the earth with hydrogen bombs.  This is not satire, and it has reached the highest levels. [...] The greatest challenge is getting it into space.  That suggests they also wouldn't know how to get it out of space if it is as destructive as it probably would be.

Bill Gates' New Plan:  Cut Down 70 Million Acres of Trees to "Combat Global Warming".  Bill Gates and other globalist billionaires are now investing in newly established climate companies like Kodama Systems to harvest and bury one billion tons of "biomass" to "save the planet."  Millions of trees, which provide us with oxygen and could have been valuable timber, will be buried instead.  This will lead to soaring prices for timber, firewood, pulp, and other wood products as a consequence.  The mostly deliberately set forest fires around the world this summer are now being used as a primary argument for deforestation.  The destruction of American forests "for the sake of climate" is being led by a Chinese professor.  Along with tree planting on arable land and economic incentives for farmers to switch to "carbon farming" instead of food production, the already strained global food production will soon no longer be able to feed the world's population.

Climate Activists Seek to Save the Planet by Cutting, Burying Trees.  Cutting down trees to manage wildfires isn't a new thing, although it remains a hotly debated practice.  Tree thinning is a disputed procedure that has drawn as much criticism within the environmental community as it has support.  Many scientists, researchers, and conservationists are against it, saying that tree thinning can even worsen wildfires.  However, the United States' woodlands have been culled for more than two decades for fire management.  Now, climate activists are jumping into the conversation with a "carbon capture" argument for tree thinning.  Activists such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates have thrown their weight, and checkbooks, behind the practice of cutting down trees and burying them to address fears about carbon emissions.  Through his foundation Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Mr. Gates is a part of the $6.6 million seed investor pool backing Kodama Systems in its proposal to remove trees in California's fire-challenged woodlands and bury them in Nevada to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2).

Megadeath: the global conspiracy to kill every living thing until we submit.  Officially, geo-engineering isn't happening.  Yet here is an interactive map that tracks weather modification projects recorded by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization for the past fifty years.  As described, the map "includes data on the apparatus involved, agents applied and the techniques used in each event.  It also includes both positive and negative results of some of the completed projects, funding sources such as government agencies and private companies."  You can even read the lawsuits some of the projects triggered.  Here is a document from the U.S. government, entitled, "Owning the Weather by 2025".  Here is a Congressional Hearing on the necessity of geoengineering.  Here is a piece from the Guardian, describing Harvard's geoengineering project in 2017.  Here are three documentaries, done over ten years, that trace the history of, rational for, and results of world-wide geoengineering.

Bill Gates is funding a scheme to cut down and bury trees to 'reduce global warming.'.  Kodama Systems, with the injection of $6.6 million in seed funding from Gates' Breakthrough Energy and others, wants to cut down 70 million acres of Western forest over the next decade, according to reports.  [Tweet with video clip]  After cutting the (mostly Californian) trees, Kodama plans on burying them, allegedly to prevent them from "spewing" carbon back into the air.  The coordinators of the project are choosing to reap the salable carbon offsets by burying the biomass in dry & oxygen-free "earthenvaults" instead of using it for conventional means, like timber for housing.

Bill Gates and others behind massive deforestation scheme, for 'global warming,' of course.  As reported by Joshua Philipp, [...] Bill Gates's company Breakthrough Energy Ventures is a main player behind a new deforestation scheme.  Per Philipp, Gates and "other investors" have contributed $6.6 million in a "stealth effort" to a California startup called Kodama Systems, which is offering a "novel" approach to the net zero agenda.  Wondering who those "other investors" might be?  Well, for one, a woman named Jackie Kossman.  Kossman is a partner at Congruent Ventures, a San Francisco-based investment firm, and according to her company bio, she previously worked for In-Q-Tel (the venture capital firm of U.S. government intelligence agencies, notably the CIA).  So what does Kodama Systems have in mind?  Well, the company is launching efforts to deforest about seventy million acres, or around 110,000 square miles of trees, and then bury the biomass, all with the help of the U.S. Forest Service.  (For reference, the entire state of Nevada is also 110,000 square miles.)  Yes, really, they're going to waste the wood instead of turning it into lumber, despite there apparently being a "housing crisis" with not enough homes on the market, and despite sky-high lumber prices, allegedly due to supply and demand and supply chain issues.

Biden wants to suck from the sky an essential ingredient for food.  One of the things that's important for sane people to keep in mind is that the war on climate change is a war on food.  It's obvious when Ireland, Holland, and Oregon come for the cows that provide dairy and meat for people.  It's also obvious when the sinister World Economic Forum keeps insisting that we learn to enjoy bugs (while they enjoy filet mignon, of course).  There are other ways to attack food, though.  One such way is to give the government control over CO2 in the atmosphere, which is what could happen thanks to the Biden administration's plan to fund a project that will vacuum that life-giving chemical compound from the atmosphere.

Heat waves now being blamed on... clean air?  Isn't clean air something we're all supposed to support?  And why is the air cleaner?  And why would that make the oceans warmer?  Apparently, it's because new shipping rules implemented in 2020 forced transportation companies to greatly restrict the amount of dust and other particulate matter coming from the smokestacks of cargo ships.  And those dust particles floated up into the upper atmosphere and reflected some of the sun's rays.  So with cleaner air, there is more sunshine reaching the surface of the water.  Okay, I suppose that's possible.  But we saw that much of a change in just three years?  That sounds pretty drastic, but I'm still all in favor of cleaner air, so let's go with that.  This is yet another case of climate alarmists finally realizing that the sun is the cause of pretty much all of the heat on the surface of our planet.  (Aside from a small amount that comes up through volcanic vents.)  And if the experts can't force foolish humans to reduce their carbon footprints, [surely] they can at least do something about the sun.  You remember when these maniacs actually started working on a plan to block some of the sun's light from reaching the Earth, right?  In case you missed it, the most likely "solution" would involve huge planes that would blow dust and other particulate matter into the upper atmosphere to block some of the sunlight.  But now they're telling us that it was the elimination of particulate matter from the ships' smokestacks that caused the heatwave.  So didn't you actually cause the heatwave by regulating the shipping industry?

The Biden White House Wants to Block the Sun to Save the Planet.  Remarkably, the Biden White House has signaled its "great leap forward" into the global warming, aka climate change, hoax by endorsing a 2021 National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report calling for implementing various geoengineering schemes to block the amount of sunlight reaching Earth.  The announcement came via a June 2023 report issued by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.  That report proclaimed on page eight the following:  ["]The risks of inaction to reduce greenhouse gas emissions quickly and significantly and limit warming to 1.5° above preindustrial levels are increasingly clear.  This urgency warrants additional research to evaluate the efficacy, trade-offs, or other relevant considerations of SRM [Solar Radiation Modification].["] [...] While none of these SRM climate schemes have anything to do with reducing the use of hydrocarbon fuels, climate hysterics appear to have realized that the sun, not carbon dioxide (CO2), is the thermostat that controls Earth's temperature.

White House Report Explores Blocking Sunlight to Prevent Warming of Earth.  The White House announced the release of a research plan on solar radiation modification (SRM) on Friday that suggests the "possible deployment" of solar geoengineering techniques to mitigate the effects of climate change.  The report was published by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to provide a research plan for "solar and other rapid climate interventions" in response to a congressional mandate in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022.  The use of SRM techniques that would block or filter sunlight is being explored as a "potential complement to other tools available to address climate change."  A White House press release stated the report "identifies critical knowledge gaps and scopes potential research areas that could improve understanding of risks and benefits posed by solar radiation modification."

In pursuit of climate perfection, Democrats are hoping to block the sun.  To any sensible person, the headlines were terrifying: In pursuit of climate perfection, the Democrats are actively investigating whether America can block the sun's rays from reaching Earth.  The fact that the sun is our life force is irrelevant to these people whose ideology has driven them mad.  The news comes courtesy of the White House, which published a document entitled "Congressionally Mandated Research Plan and an Initial Research Governance Framework Related to Solar Radiation Modification."  That title is as ominous as it sounds.  The White House, with help from a crazed Congress, is exploring "solar... intervention" and "solar geoengineering": [...] You don't actually have to do a whole lot of new research on this one.  We already know what happens when you prevent sunlight from hitting the earth:  People die.  That's the takeaway from 1816, the infamous "Year Without A Summer"[.]

Why the Biden White House Will Try to Keep Their Latest Global Warming Study a Secret.  The wanton destruction of priceless art and heritage sites across Europe by climate change activists is insane, and one would think we've reached peaked insanity with this unhinged community, short of acts of eco-terrorism.  Nope.  Sometimes, even banal actions, like a government study, can exhibit more ludicrousness than smearing paint on a Monet.  The latest Biden White House-endorsed study into curbing global warming is not just a case study in wasteful spending; it's a Rorschach test on mental health.  And there's a reason why they want to keep it a secret:  it deals with trying to bend sun rays to prevent the Earth's temperature from rising[.]

White House backs plan to BLOCK sunlight in bid to limit global warming.  The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.  Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden's administration have admitted they're open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.  In a report released Friday by the White House, officials suggested limiting sunlight to rapidly cool the planet, a process known as solar radiation modification (SRM).

Now They Are Actually Working On A Plan To Block Out The Sun.  What are they thinking?  Without enough sunlight, life on this planet would not be able to survive for long.  So when global leaders start talking about blocking out the sun or "re-engineering the atmosphere", we should all get really, really nervous.  Plants need sunlight in order go grow.  So less sunlight would mean less food for all of us.  And considering the fact that we are already in the early stages of a horrifying global food crisis, growing enough food should be a very high priority.  Unfortunately, the globalists see things very differently.  They are apparently willing to implement extremely risky measures in a desperate attempt to get temperatures back into a range that they consider to be "normal".

Ireland Looking To Kill 200,000 Cows To Fight Climate Change; Are US Herds Next?  Climate activists are coming for livestock producers and farmers.  European governments have been targeting the agriculture industry for several years.  The Telegraph reports that Ireland's government may need to reduce that country's cattle herds by 200,000 cows over the next three years to meet climate targets.  In an effort to reduce nitrogen pollution, Reuters reported the European Union last month approved a $1.6 billion Dutch plan to buy out livestock farmers.  Now the Biden administration is targeting American agriculture.

Is This the solution to global warming?  Scientist claims we should Move the Earth away from the sun.  Astronomers know full well that the sun is very slowly getting brighter, and in a billion or so years time it will make Earth too hot to live on.  One scientist is now proposing a radical solution that will let humans live on this planet for longer — physically moving it away from the sun.  Albert Zijlstra, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Manchester, suggests shifting Earth further back from the sun by about three million miles.

African Official Warns Bill Gates, George Soros to Stop Using Their Continent as a 'Climate' Guinea Pig.  A Nigerian climate scientist warns so-called "climate activists" Bill Gates and George Soros to stop using Africa as a climate laboratory to test their radical theories.  Dr. Chukwumerije Okereke pointed fingers at Gates and Soros that his "continent is not your giant climate laboratory" in a New York Times guest essay.  According to his essay, solar geoengineering is supposed to redirect climate damage from the sun's rays.  Instead, Leftist Billionaires are meddling in the country's environmental efforts.  "As a climate expert, I consider these environmental manipulation techniques extremely risky.  And as an African climate expert, I strongly object to the idea that Africa should be turned into a testing ground for their use," Okereke wrote. "

Soros Has a Plan to Block the Sun to Save Human Civilization.  Billionaire lunatic George Soros is promoting a risk-filled new technology to fight "climate change."  It will block heat and light from the Sun to cool Earth's global temperature and repair the solar system.  What could go wrong? [...] [Quoting Mr. Soros:]  "With proper scientific safeguards and in consultation with local indigenous communities, this project could help restabilize the Arctic climate system, which governs the entire global climate system.  Unless we change the way we deal with climate change, our civilization will be thoroughly disrupted by rising temperatures that will make large parts of the world practically unlivable."

The Editor says...
What makes anyone think the "local indigenous communities" have better ideas?  I suspect they would all (if they had any idea what Mr. Soros is up to) tell the rich guys to stop tampering with the weather and leave well enough alone.

George Soros Announces Plans To Seize Control of Earth's Atmosphere To Fight Climate Change.  George Soros, who has previously stated his sincere belief that he is "a God who created everything", has announced plans to seize control of the Earth's atmosphere to fight "climate change."  According to Fox News, Soros spoke to the Munich Security Conference Thursday and boasted that he had discovered a process where white clouds are created to reflect sunlight away from warming areas to prevent ice sheets from melting.  Ice sheets melting in Greenland in particular, he claimed, could doom human civilization.  This idea could create a global calamity resulting in the deaths of millions of humans and animals.  Soros does not seem concerned about this possibility in the slightest, announcing that he is in consultation with indigenous groups regarding the plan, but he is not interested in the views of the rest of humanity.

Biden's 'Day Of Judgement' Awaits.  Climate change, the left's cash cow, is a bunch of bull hockey being sold as a global emergency.  The leftists had tried global cooling, global warming, and then decided on climate change since the previous programs were too fraught with contrary reality.  Climate change is just a cheap vehicle to sell to the gullible public as something new and caused by all kinds of ridiculous and downright stupid assertions such as cow emissions, human expirations, and now gas stoves.  Let's see how that plays out with the ladies (and gents who do their fair share of the cooking)!  Being a good steward of the earth that God created and set man over as caretaker is a noble undertaking.  But demented minds decided to flaunt God by interfering with the natural order of creation, and are thus creating dangerous and potentially catastrophic climate disruptions with new geoengineering tricks like solar radiation management.  Whatever unusual or pervasive climate issues we have experienced, you can be sure that the fed's geoengineering practices are to blame one way or another.

Shutting down some greenie madness, Mexico does us a favor.  Most third-world countries talk a good game about being onboard for the green agenda, and many can even show a few marquee projects to boot.  It doesn't matter that they don't do anything on the terms of the Paris climate accord, which seems to be mostly about taking America down a peg.  With the Biden administration conditioning aid on following the road to green virtue, they know where the money is.  Pay no attention to the polluted air or trash in the streets in these places, it's not about having a clean environment fit for human habitation.  It's not about humans at all.  So Mexico's shutdown of a green Larry Lightbulb-scheme to seed the air with sulfur dioxide to cool the atmosphere does draw attention.

Corporates Have Begun 'Geoengineering' The Climate, With Basically No One's Consent..  An American startup firm has admitted to releasing reactive particles into the atmosphere in an attempt to alter the climate.  The move has attracted widespread criticism, and marks a potentially dangerous new stage in the intensifying response to Earth's "climate crisis".  Just before Christmas 2022, the firm 'Make Sunsets' acknowledged it had launched weather balloons containing sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere.  The launches took place in April 2022, in Baja California, Mexico, months before the company was even incorporated.  When quizzed about it, the company's CEO, Luke Iseman, was unrepentant.  "It's morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this", he said, adding that it's important "to do this as quickly and safely as we can," because of the threat of man-made climate change.  Critics, including geoengineers, say Make Sunset's efforts are dangerous, not only because the field is very much in its infancy, but also because they could have wildly different effects from those intended.

The Editor says...
They're geo-engineering because of the threat of "man-made climate change" — but what they're doing IS "man-made climate change."

Studies flag environmental impact of reentry.  Space hardware tumbling out of orbit may lead to unforeseen environmental and climate impacts.  Due to the growing scale and pace of launch activities, what is needed is better monitoring of the situation, as well as regulation to create an environmentally sustainable space industry.  Making that case is Jamie Shutler, associate professor of Earth observation at the University of Exeter, Cornwall.  Shutler and colleagues authored the research paper "Atmospheric impacts of the space industry require oversight" in the August issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.  Decreased satellite costs have led to large spacecraft constellations, thereby creating a constant flow of de-orbiting debris as craft die and are replaced.  "This debris could double the annual injection of aerosol particle mass into the mesosphere," the paper explains, thereby increasing the number of aluminum particles that can reach the stratosphere, where they promote ozone loss.

How is this any different from the "geo-engineering" projects being undertaken to block sunlight?  (See below.)

Rogue start-up launching reflective clouds into Earth's stratosphere?  A rogue solar geoengineering start-up firm claims to have begun using balloons to launch reflective clouds into the stratosphere for the purpose of changing the weather.  Luke Iseman, cofounder and CEO of Make Sunsets, recently told the MIT Technology Review that he hopes this cloud-seeding effort might help launch a lucrative "cooling" industry.  Because, as Make Sunsets' website states, "we need to start cooling the world immediately."  And he'd like to make money doing it.

A startup says it's begun releasing particles into the atmosphere, in an effort to tweak the climate.  A startup claims it has launched weather balloons that may have released reflective sulfur particles in the stratosphere, potentially crossing a controversial barrier in the field of solar geoengineering.  Geoengineering refers to deliberate efforts to manipulate the climate by reflecting more sunlight back into space, mimicking a natural process that occurs in the aftermath of large volcanic eruptions.  In theory, spraying sulfur and similar particles in sufficient quantities could potentially ease global warming.

The Editor says...
[#1] If Exxon or Texaco did exactly the same thing, it would be called air pollution.  But if a "startup" does it, apparently it's okay.  [#2] No matter who's releasing small quantities of sulfur into the air, it's just a publicity stunt at this point.  [#3] Ask the people in Buffalo if they've seen enough global cooling already.  They got four feet of snow over the Christmas weekend.  They probably don't want some self-appointed Manager of the Atmosphere trying to make it even colder.  [#4] One big

volcanic eruption will accomplish everything this "startup" company intends to do.

White House proposes blocking sunlight to fight global warming.  The White House recently announced that it was funding a five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate change by geoengineering — i.e., technologies and processes that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.  This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of geoengineering known as "solar radiation management," which involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.  The hope is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated, and ergo temperatures will go down.  Presto:  actual anthropogenic climate change!  A global SPF 100, as it were! [...] They're hoping to fight the scourge of climate change by blindly trying to change the climate?  What is it with Democrats?  They're also fighting racism with racial quotas and making race the primary consideration in, well, everything.  That's working well, isn't it?  Next, they'll propose fighting drug abuse by giving out free needles and crack pipes.  Oh wait, they're already doing that.

The Editor says...
"Solar radiation management" is a poor choice of words.  Nobody in Big Government manages the Sun.

[The] White House [is] now pursuing [the] same sun-blocking geoengineering scheme that was called a "conspiracy theory" just two years ago.  The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has launched a five-year research plan that aims to develop methods of reflecting sunlight back into space in order to "cool" the planet and save it from "global warming."  Just a few years ago, the independent media was dubbed a pack of wild "conspiracy theorists" for warning that the climate cultists were shifting gears and taking direct aim at the sun for elimination.  Now, the conspiracy theories we warned you about are becoming conspiracy facts.  The idea behind the new sun-blocking scheme is to regulate the level of ultraviolet (UV) exposure on earth.  If enough of them can be blocked and reflected back into space, then perhaps temperatures will get a little chillier, which we are told will help the polar ice caps and prevent beachfront properties from flooding in the future.  One way the globalists plan to block the sun is through stratospheric aerosol injections, also known as "chemtrails."  You may recall that chemtrails were also dubbed a "conspiracy theory" before eventually being confirmed as another conspiracy fact.  There are also ideas swirling around about marine cloud "brightening" and cirrus cloud "thinning," which the climate cult says may keep the sun from making the planet too warm during the daytime.

Is the Climate Being Engineered?  ["]He who controls the weather controls the world."  These ominous words were spoken in 1962, at Southwest Texas State University, by then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.  In that Cold War era speech, he was alluding to what could happen after the "development of a weather satellite that will permit man to determine the world cloud layer and ultimately control the weather."  Later, as president, LBJ would authorize Operation Popeye, the spraying of silver and lead iodide into monsoon storm clouds over Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam to facilitate U.S. military operations by causing landslides and washing out river crossings. [...] Large-scale weather manipulation may be a reality today.  And, while the world stands deeply divided on climate change, Dane Wigington, the founder and lead researcher of GeoEngineering Watch (GEW), is determined to expose the immense danger to the future of our planet that he alleges.

An idea like this would not combat climate change.  It would guarantee climate change.
>'Space Bubbles' could combat climate change by creating a floating shield the size of Brazil.  Climate change is causing more frequent and intense droughts, storm, heat waves, rising sea levels and melting glaciers and to stop this destruction, MIT researchers proposes 'Space Bubbles' to shield Earth from the sun's rays to combat the devastation.  This geoengineering idea would feature inflatable bubbles, organized in a circular shape the size of Brazil, which would sit between the Earth and the sun, blocking radiation from hitting our planet.  'We believe that inflating thin-film spheres directly in space from a homogeneous molten material — such as silicon can provide the variation in thickness that refracts a broader wave spectrum and allows us to avoid the necessity of launching large structural film elements,' the team share in a press release.

International Energy Agency report shows that green energy transition is a fantasy because of dependence on key rare minerals.  A prestigious intergovernmental organization created by the world's advanced economies is pointing out the bottleneck in the plans to substitute so-called green energy for hydrocarbon-based energy:  the availability of key minerals necessary for battery storage, wind farms, solar panels, and other gizmos necessary for the switchover.  Simply put:  the world can't provide the quantity of those minerals that would be necessary, and the environmental and social impact of trying to mine them in sufficient quantities would be devastating.  The cure, in other words, is worse than the disease.

Bill Gates wants to spray dust into the sky to control the Earth's temperature?  The radical-leftist-billionaire-fearmonger Bill Gates is working with scientists to determine if they can control temperatures by spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to partially block the sun. [...] I wonder how they determined what the right temperature is on Earth since it has fluctuated cyclically and naturally for billions of years?  What if they screw up and lower the temperatures too much?

Sweden Axes Gates Mad Global Warming Scheme.  For more than a decade Bill Gates has funneled millions of dollars into a scientifically mad scheme allegedly to study the possibility of "manmade global cooling."  The project, led by a Harvard physicist, proposes to send satellites into the atmosphere in order to drop tons of chemicals in an attempt to block the sun.  Now a strong resistance within Sweden has forced Gates & co. to abandon the planned Swedish satellite launch.  This latest adventure in geoengineering by Gates shows what an unscientific enterprise the global warming charade is.  As Gates no doubt well knows, in fact the Earth has slowly been cooling as we enter what some astrophysicists estimate could be several decades of global cooling caused by a Grand Solar Minimum cycle we entered in 2020.  On April 2 the Swedish Space Agency, announced that the program, the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), funded by Bill Gates, has "divided the scientific community" and will therefore not be carried out.  SCoPEx was a scheme funded for several years by personal funds from Gates to test the feasibility of dimming the sun via manmade geoengineering.

Test Flight for Sunlight-Blocking Research Is Canceled.  A test flight for researching ways to cool Earth by blocking sunlight will not take place as planned in Sweden this June, following objections from environmentalists, scientists and Indigenous groups there.  The Swedish Space Corporation said this week it had canceled plans for the flight, in which it would have launched a high-altitude balloon, on behalf of researchers, from its facility in the Arctic.  It would have been the first flight of a long-planned experiment called Scopex, a project led by scientists at Harvard University.  The corporation, which is government owned, said it had consulted "with both leading experts on geoengineering and with other stakeholders," as well as with a Harvard committee that is advising the researchers.  The decision not to conduct the test was made in agreement with the Harvard panel, it said.

Bill Gates Is Thinking About Dimming the Sun.  Bill Gates, who recently suggested the world should eat 100 percent synthetic beef and said bitcoin is bad for the planet, has set his sights on a new foe:  the sun.  Gates and other private donors are backing Harvard University's Solar Geoengineering Research Program, which will soon launch a new study researching the efficacy of blocking sunlight from reaching Earth's surface.  This week, the influential National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) also released a new report urging the U.S. government to spend at least $100 million to study solar geoengineering, a controversial technology.  What is solar geoengineering, anyway, and why are scientists suddenly interested in — and concerned by — the concept?

Bill Gates wants to spray millions of tonnes of CHALK into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and slow global warming.  The first test of a project backed to spray millions of tonnes of chalk into the stratosphere, in an attempt to 'dim the sun' and cool the Earth, could happen in June.  Harvard University experts will test the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town of Kiruna and have it drop 2 kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere.  The aim of the estimated $3 million mission, backed by billionaire Bill Gates, is to have the chalk deflect a portion of the sun's radiation, stop it from hitting the surface, and cool the planet.

The Editor says...
[#1] This assumes that the planet needs cooling, and that Bill Gates will decide when it's cool enough.  [#2] When a multi-billionaire has a harebrained idea and the experts say it might be disastrous, he will probably do it anyway!  Who's going to stop him?  Who's going to tell him the idea didn't work?  If a hundred people can make a really good living by catering to a billionaire's ridiculous and unfiltered whims, are they going to rock the boat?

Geo-engineering: Ignoring the consequences.  The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report said we have only 12 years left to save the planet.  It triggered the usual frantic and ridiculous reactions.  NBC News offered this gem:  "A last-ditch global warming fix?  A man-made 'volcanic' eruption" to cool the planet."  Its article proclaimed, "Scientists and some environmentalists believe nations might have to mimic volcanic gases as a last-ditch effort to protect Earth from extreme warming."  Proposal like this are defined as geo-engineering — trying to artificially modify Earth's climate to offset what are presented as unnatural events.  The problem is, the events they are trying to offset are actually natural events.  Any scientist or politician who doesn't understand that will undoubtedly create worse problems than those they are trying to "fix."

Controversial Bill Gates-funded plan to dim the sun's rays moves forward quietly.  A bizarre-sounding plan to save Earth funded by tech guru Bill Gates is "quietly" moving forward.  The plan — to dim the sun's rays and their impact on the earth — is reportedly all in the name of helping to revitalize the environment and thus save the human race.  The billionaire philanthropist is set on saving the Earth no matter the cost.  "While you may have been paying attention to [Gates'] efforts on vaccination and lockdowns, you may not have noticed that one of Gates' most controversial causes just got a go-ahead:  A project that would help block out the sun," the Western Journal's Douglas Golden wrote.  Reuters reported that the geo-engineering plan — a Harvard University project funded largely by Gates — "plans to test out a controversial theory that global warming can be stopped by spraying particles into the atmosphere that would reflect the sun's rays."

Bill Gates' Savior Complex Spirals Out of Control, Funds Sun-Dimming Plan To Save the Human Race.  Bill Gates is now best known as a philanthropist, not the guy who started Microsoft or was the avatar for everyone's annoyance with Windows 95.  He's also known for wanting to save us from ourselves.  Now, apparently, he wants to save us from the sun. [...] The project represents one of the most controversial aspects of what's known as "geoengineering" — the idea that, to tackle issues like climate change, massive aspects of our ecosystem can be played with or changed.  In this case, it would involve reflecting some of the sun's rays to stop them from reaching Earth.  "Open-air research into spraying tiny, sun-reflecting particles into the stratosphere, to offset global warming, has been stalled for years by controversies — including that it could discourage needed cuts in greenhouse gas emissions," Reuters reported.

Climate Alarmists Propose Feeding Cows Seaweed to Reduce Methane [Emissions].  Environmentalists intent on finding new ways to reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions to curb climate change have proposed a novel method:  feed cows seaweed to diminish methane in flatulence, belches, and manure.  Ermias Kebreab, an zoology professor at the University of California-Davis, led a team in producing a bovine meal regimen containing varying levels of Asparagopsis armata, a strain of red seaweed, and fed it to 12 dairy cows over a two-month period.  In a mix containing just 1 percent seaweed, the cows' methane emissions went down by a stunning 60 percent.

The Editor says...
Even if that's all true, and even if methane emissions are a problem (which I doubt), most of the cows in North America don't live near the ocean.  How is all that seaweed going to get to Kansas?  (Hint:  Diesel engines!)

What The 'Eating Babies' Troll Job Said About AOC Is Pretty Terrifying.  Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and so it was with the brouhaha that took place during a Queens town hall hosted by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday [10/3/2019]. [...] So it was no huge surprise when the whole thing turned out to be a stunt put on by a right wing political cult once led by Lyndon LaRouche.  Even so, the real news wasn't just simply what the woman said, but also how Ocasio-Cortez responded:  "One of the things that's very important to us is that we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does present," she said calmly, almost meekly.

Ocasio-Cortez Responds To Woman's 'Eat The Babies!' Rant:  Don't Talk About It!  Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to a woman who had an outburst over climate change at her town hall event on Thursday [10/3/2019] by telling people to "knock it off" and not talk about the situation and focus on other matters.  "We are not going to be here for much long because of the climate crisis," the woman said as she appeared to have an accent.  "We only have a few months left!"  Ocasio-Cortez is a climate extremist who has on a regular basis stirred people's fears on the climate, suggesting:  there are only 12 years left to act on the climate; people should not have children because of the climate; society needs to get rid of cows; Miami will be soon destroyed by climate change; and that the fight against climate change is equivalent to fighting in WWII.  The unidentified woman at Ocasio-Cortez's town hall continued:  "I love that you support the Green Deal, but it's not getting rid of fossil fuel, it's not going to solve the problem fast enough," the woman continued.

Woman Takes Green New Deal to Logical Conclusion, AOC Doesn't Even Blink.  "Eat the babies" is trending on Twitter this morning.  You'll never guess why.  Ok, maybe you will.  In case you were not already aware that climate extremists are brainwashed religious cultists with severe mental and emotional issues, check out this clip from Wednesday evening's town hall meeting in Corona, New York, hosted by Democrat organ grinder monkey Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Eating Babies To Save The Planet Suits AOC.  AOC gave the floor to an unidentified woman who seemed to speak with an accent at a Town Hall meeting over climate change last night, and did nothing to stop her outrageous tirade until after she'd finished.  Removing her jacket to expose a T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Save the Planet, Eat Babies', the woman declared that because there are only "a few months left!" before the climate crisis hits, it is time to "start eating babies!"

Woman Snaps At AOC Over Climate: 'Start Eating Babies!' 'We Only Have A Few Months Left!'  A woman snapped during an Ocasio-Cortez town hall event on Thursday evening [10/3/2019] over climate change, declaring that there are only "a few months left!" and that it is time to "start eating babies!"  "We are not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis," the woman said as she appeared to have an accent.  "We only have a few months left!"  "I love that you support the Green Deal, but it's not getting rid of fossil fuel, it's not going to solve the problem fast enough," the woman continued.  "A Swedish professor [said] we can eat dead people but that's not fast enough.  So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this:  'We got to start eating babies!  We don't have enough time!  There is too much CO2."

Democrat insanity:  AOC supporter says "we have to eat the babies".  With great emotion, an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supporter exhibits an odd mix of climate hysteria and Democrat insanity claiming that we do not have time to stop total annihilation from climate change.  Her suggestion — eat babies. [...] The poor child promoting infant cannibalism as a solution to Climate Change hysteria is not having an original thought.  The idea is being promoted by Stockholm School of Economics professor and researcher Magnus Soderlund.  Soderlund says he believes eating human meat, derived from dead bodies, might be able to help save the human race if only a world society were to "awaken the idea."

Cannibalism: Scientist says eating humans could save earth.  A behavioral scientist from Sweden named Magnus Soderlund argued in a recent presentation that the way to combat climate change, save the planet and secure the earth for scores of upcoming generations is to — get this — eat people.  As far as far-left ideas go, this one about cannibalism and climate change just takes the cake.

The Left's climate cult's scam entails political fearmongering.  [Scroll down]  Just as the regressive Left does with every item on its insane agenda, Söderlund takes an insidiously incremental approach to destroying civilization.  His goal is to have people think the unthinkable; then "progress" to possibly committing the unthinkable — but only just a taste — and, ultimately, after enough people have nibbled, demand the societal acceptance of the unthinkable as normal.  After all, once a cannibal, always a cannibal.  And folks don't like to be stigmatized.  In the Leftist mind, nothing is abnormal so everything is normal.  Hence, in the world of "No Normal," everything goes; and, as it does, demand not tolerance, but acceptance — unless the tyrannical government says otherwise.

Swedish Scientist Proposes Cannibalism to Fight Climate Change.  Swedish behavioural scientist Magnus Söderlund has suggested that eating other people after they die could be a means of combatting climate change.  The scientist mentioned the possibility of cannibalism during a broadcast on Swedish television channel TV4 this week about a fair in Stockholm regarding "food of the future".  Söderlund is set to hold seminars at the event, entitled "Gastro Summit — about the future of food" where he intends to discuss the possibility of eating people in the name of cutting down greenhouse emissions.

The Editor says...
Are "greenhouse emissions" really that big of a problem?  Before you resort to cannibalism, perhaps you should look around your neighborhood and ask, What climate change?  As long as there are restaurants in business, sensible people will never consider (nor have they ever considered) cannibalism as a rational option.  Use your head.  Your diet is not going to change the weather.

Sun-dimming chemicals could solve climate change on the cheap.  Spraying sun-dimming chemicals high above the Earth to slow global warming could be "remarkably inexpensive," costing about $2.25 billion a year over a 15-year period, according to a study by US scientists.  Some researchers say the geo-engineering technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) could limit rising temperatures that are causing climate change.

The Editor says...
$2.25 billion per year is not remarkably inexpensive for a solution to a problem that we don't have.  We will not be given a chance to vote on this project before it is implemented.  Your elected representatives need to be informed about this wasteful foolishness.

Would flooding the deserts help stop global warming?  Imagine flooding a desert half the size of the Sahara.  Using 238 trillion gallons of desalinated ocean water to do the job.  Creating millions of 1-acre-square micro-reservoirs to grow enough algae to gobble up all of Earth's climate-changing carbon dioxide.  For an encore:  How about spreading the water and fertilizer (the dead algae) to grow a vast new forest of oxygen-producing trees?  A Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Y Combinator, unveiled the radical desert flooding plan as one of four "moonshot" scenarios that it hopes innovators will explore as potential remedies to catastrophic global warming.  But would it work?  And should it even be tried?

The Editor says...
Even if this idea had a price tag of zero, it would still be a bad idea.  Before exploring and developing "potential remedies to catastrophic global warming," wouldn't it be prudent to wait until there is evidence of catastrophic global warming?  Or any abnormal warming at all?

Los Angeles:  Where the Streets Are Paved in White.  California just keeps getting crazier.  When it comes to the most absurd use of taxpayer money, the city of Los Angeles may just win the award.  In a move intended to cool down the city and fight the effects of global warming, the city is painting many of its streets with a grayish-white substance known as CoolSeal, which reflects sunlight, in theory making the city cooler.  The cost to taxpayers is a mere $40,000 per mile.  With 6,500 miles of road in Los Angeles, that's a hefty price tag, more than a quarter of a billion dollars.  Admittedly, there are no plans to paint all the roads in L.A. — yet.  Even so, $40,000 per mile seems a hefty price to pay, especially for something that has to be redone every seven years.  City officials, led by Mayor Eric Garcetti, are hoping that the whiter roadways will reduce the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which can make urban areas much warmer than rural areas.

Los Angeles paints its streets white to beat sizzling summer heat as part of 20-year plan to combat the effects of climate change.  City officials in Los Angeles are on a quest to reduce the effects of climate change by painting some of its streets in a light-colored, heat-reducing sealcoat.  The product, called CoolSeal, is a 'water-based asphalt emulsion sealcoat designed to reduce surface temperatures and help mitigate heat islands,' the company website, GuardTop states.  The plan to reduce the temperatures was initially proposed early last year after the city experienced its hottest summer in 2016 — the year also said to be the warmest summer globally, according to the Los Angeles Times.

'Carbon-sucking' devices necessary by 2030 to stop global warming, scientists say.  Scientists are warning we need "carbon-sucking" technologies by 2030 in order to prevent global temperature increases.  In the fight to curtail global warming, scientists say geoengineering — large-scale manipulation of carbon dioxide and solar radiation to lessen their effect on the planet — is absolutely necessary.

FBI Back In Reno After Burglars Elude Security And Raid Las Vegas Shooters Home.  The FBI has beefed up security in Reno, Nevada, after a group of burglars broke into the heavily guarded home of Las Vegas mass shooter, Stephen Paddock over the weekend.  According to authorities, a number of unidentified individuals descended on Paddock's home in the Del Webb retirement community just outside Reno, bypassing both state and federal law enforcement who were assigned to protect the property.  Local law enforcement says it's not clear how the group got into the home, which is supposed to be under round-the-clock surveillance, and they do not have any suspects — but they also believe nothing was taken from inside the home, as the home was left completely undamaged.

The Editor says...
Sounds like a professional was involved here.  In and out without a trace, at one of the hottest crime scenes in America today.  There must have been something in the house that was worth the risk.  Nothing was taken, they say.  Ri-i-i-ight.  Why not just deny that the burglary happened at all?

Dangerous global warming unstoppable without geo-engineering, says study.  The international community has already missed its chance to limit global warming to between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius, according to a new study by Switzerland-based researchers.  But a solution to the problem could lie in geo-engineering technologies.  Under the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to try and prevent global warming from exceeding 2 degrees Celsius in order to avoid irreversible and dangerous climate change.  But new research, published in the Climatic Change journal, has revealed that it is already too late to meet that target, after scientists used sophisticated computer modelling to predict what steps actually need to be taken.

The Editor says...
One might well suspect that "sophisticated computer modelling" means a computer program that prints the desired results regardless of input data.

Danish Think Tank: $9B Cloud Project Could Prevent All 21st Century Global Warming.  Instead of collectively spending $100 billion annually under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to combat global warming, developed nations should consider investing just $9 billion in a marine cloud whitening project that could prevent global warming for the rest of the 21st century, according to Bjorn Lomborg, director of a Danish think tank.  Marine cloud whitening mimics the effects of a volcanic eruption by inserting salt particles into the atmosphere to make clouds denser so they reflect more sunlight back into space.

The Editor says...
This would only be a good idea if there is also a method to reverse the process when the output of the sun decreases.  In other words, if you install a thermostat, it should be adjustable in both directions.  The proposal also presupposes that warmer temperatures are bad and lower temperatures are good — and that one degree either way makes any difference to anybody.  One other thing stands in the way:  Who's going to cough up nine billion dollars to put an end to global warming hysteria?  Not the universities, who thrive on constant inconclusive "research," and not the government, which thrives on expanded power, and not the press, which depends on emotional appeal to sell newspapers.

Geoengineering to Alter Climate Moves Closer to Reality.  Large-scale geoengineering may include pouring nutrients into oceans to save coral habitats or spraying tiny particles into the Earth's atmosphere to reflect sun rays back into space.  Geoengineering proposals have been shunned because of their unpredictable consequences on global ecosystems.  The University of East Anglia released a study in February that concluded geoengineering ideas were hazardous, costly or unrealistic.  The Convention on Biodiversity has approached geoengineering with caution, seeking to constrain the development unless there is effective global governance, Williamson said.

The Greatest Environmental Threat To The Planet: Liberals.  What a dilemma we humans find ourselves in when we discover that fixing one problem serves to worsen another, something a group of Environment Canada researchers recently determined finding environmentalists caused global warming in their attempts to curb it.  In an October 2015 scientific study, "Impact of aerosol emission controls on future Arctic sea ice cover," published in Geophysical Research Letters, these researchers found that efforts to clean up the atmosphere is melting its sea ice.  The study found that efforts to reduce harmful aerosols had the unwelcomed side effect of quickening Arctic sea ice melt.  So what's next?  Choosing between cleaner air for us and Arctic ice for polar bears?

An unspoken option if climate talks fail: Geoengineering.  Should nations purposely pollute the planet to try to counteract man-made warming and cool the world?

Climate Scientists Rip Apart EPA's Global Warming Rule.  The Obama administration recently unveiled regulations further limiting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, and some climate scientists are criticizing the rules for doing virtually nothing to reduce global temperature rises — the whole point of reducing CO2.  "Well the one thing you don't hear President [Barack] Obama mention is how much his proposed emissions reductions will reduce global warming," wrote Dr. Judith Curry, a climatologist at Georgia Tech.  "It has been estimated that the U.S. [climate plan] of 28% emissions reduction by 2025 will prevent 0.03 [degrees Celsius] in warming by 2100."  "And these estimates assume that climate model projections are correct," Curry wrote, "if the climate models are over-sensitive to CO2, the amount of warming prevented will be even smaller."

Not exactly a proposed global warming solution, but definitely a geo-engineering fail:
L.A. Mayor: Thirsty California Needs Cool Black Balls.  Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's plan to slow California's drought by covering a reservoir with 96 million "shade balls" is sparking debate among experts, who say that the black balls could lead to disaster.  According to Fox News, Garcetti said that the balls, which cost $34.5 million, would block the evaporation of 300 million gallons of reservoir water.  The plan is projected to save taxpayers $250 million.  Despite the projected savings, experts have dubbed the balls a "disaster."  Matt MacLeod, founder of the California biotech firm Modern Moon Farms, said that the black color of the balls would create a "bacterial nightmare."  "Black spheres resting in the hot sun will form a thermal blanket speeding evaporation as well as providing a huge amount of new surface area for the hot water to breed bacteria," said MacLeod.

LA 'black ball' reservoir rollout potential 'disaster' in the making, say experts.  LA's scheme to cover a reservoir under 96 million "shade balls" may not be all it is touted to be, experts told FoxNews.com, with some critics going so far as to refer to the plan as a "potential disaster."  The city made national headlines last week when Mayor Eric Garcetti and Department of Water officials dumped $34.5 million worth of the tiny, black plastic balls into the city's 175-acre Van Norman Complex reservoir in the Sylmar section.  Garcetti said the balls would create a surface layer that would block 300 million gallons from evaporating amid the state's crippling drought and save taxpayers $250 million.  Experts differed over the best color for the tiny plastic balls, with one telling FoxNews.com they should have been white and another saying a chrome color would be optimal.  But all agreed that the worst color for the job is the one LA chose.

Into the Brave New World of Geo-engineering.  The US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) just published a two-volume report on geo-engineering (Geo-Eng), invoked in order to neutralize the "threat of climate change." [...] The NAS reports discuss two main approaches:  (1) deposit reflecting aerosols into the stratosphere so as to keep some solar energy from reaching the surface — thus reducing warming;  (2) lower the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — thereby reducing any GH warming; somehow capture a goodly fraction of CO2 and bury it underground.  Both projects are extremely expensive and appear completely superfluous — unless you actually believe in future climate disasters.  Further, both projects carry with them important side effects that have hardly been investigated.

EPA Mandates That New Coal Plants Prevent Nonexistent Climate Problem With Unavailable Solution.  Given that "climate change" has been going on for millions of years, "mitigating" it is going to be a very tall order.  Besides, consider that all of that mitigation, even if it could be accomplished, might bring about conditions that are a whole lot worse.  For example, what if that 17-year-long global warming pause we have been experiencing turned cold again as occurred during the "Little Ice Age" between about 1400-1859 AD, certainly not my idea of an improvement.  Remember hearing about Washington's troops freezing at Valley Forge in 1777-78, and Napoleon's bitterly cold retreat from Russia in 1812?  No, give me some of that good ol' global warming any day!

Five years later, the idea comes up again:
White roofs could curb warming from urban growth, study finds.  A group of researchers found that as urban areas in the United States expand, so too will the "heat island effect," in which pavement, rooftops, parking lots and other hard surfaces absorb heat and slowly release it, boosting temperatures higher than rural surroundings.  By century's end, the built environment will contribute as much to rising temperatures in cities across the United States as climbing greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere, adding up to 3.6 degrees of additional warming, according to a new scientific paper.

"It is one of the great weaknesses of reasonable men and women that they imagine that projects which fly in the face of common sense are not serious or being seriously undertaken."
