AL GORE, THE ULTIMATE FLIM-FLAM MAN…

1039

He who is perhaps the most successful snake oil salesman in all of human history, that being, of course, none other than our infamous ex-vice-president and professional environmental huckster Al Gore, says that President Trump’s position on ‘climate change’ could actually boost global efforts to tackle so-called ‘global warming’ due to the president’s previous remarks on the issue.  The president has never been a big supporter of this theory based on ‘science’ that is highly suspect to say the least.

As we all know Gore has spent decades, making a considerable fortune for himself along the way, trumpeting all of the dire consequences of global warming, climate change and/or climate disruption while at the same time advocating many an idiotic, and yet very costly, prevention strategy.  And it was on this past Wednesday that Gore said, “It may be a perverse step forward to have Donald J. Trump as the global face of climate denial because so much of what he says is nonsense.”

And just to put the ravings of old Al into context, it was 10 years ago this very day, December 13, that world famous ‘climate change’ junk scientist Al Gore predicted that the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in just five years.  Gore made that famous prediction to a German audience back on December 13, 2008. It was then that Gore warned them that “the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.”  And yet we’re supposed to trust anything that this boob tells us?

It was on Wednesday that Gore told an audience on the sidelines of the United Nations climate summit in Katowice, Poland that he thinks Republicans “are beginning to really worry that they’re going to be associated with that.”  Further, the ex-vice-president called out the Trump administration for joining Saudi Arabia last week in blocking the endorsement of a bogus ‘scientific’ report on supposed options that governments have to prevent theoretical ‘catastrophic climate change.’

And of course, this is far from being the first instance in which Gore has chosen to criticize President Trump’s stance on bogus ‘climate change.’  In a wide-ranging interview with PBS’s Judy Woodruff in October, Gore called the president’s deregulation proposals “literally insane.”  But then that’s how those of us who refuse to buy into this nonsense are viewed.  We’re called insane or flat-earthers because we’re able to recognize the ‘science’ here as being clearly bogus.

And earlier on Wednesday, United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres issued an alarmist appeal for countries to compromise to tackle ‘climate change’ for future generations.  Guterres told ministers and senior diplomats from almost 200 countries that reaching agreement “means sacrifices, but it will benefit us all” and said failure in the talks “would compromise our last best chance to stop runaway climate change.”  He added, “It would not only be immoral, it would be suicidal.”

Guterres is an even bigger nut than Gore.  Runaway ‘climate change?’  Suicidal??  What the Hell is this guy smoking?  We have got to do something about bringing this scam to an end.  There is no actual science that supports it, only these continuing claims that are always proven to be false.  The polar ice caps are still here, polar bears are thriving as never before and the cities along our coast are doing just fine.  It’s all nothing more than the purest form of leftwing ideological bull shit!

And let’s face it, Gore has done little more than to enrich himself significantly by pushing all of this ‘climate change’ nonsense, warning us 18 years ago that the polar cap would melt by 2010 and the rising seas would result in coastal cities being underwater.  Yet he and his many well-to-do ‘global warming’ pals, continue to fly around in private jets that spew high amounts of the same carbon dioxide that Gore claims is causing global warming.  It’s only we the little people who must suffer.

The only ones who should be considered as “literally insane” are the ones who still believe anything that Gore or any of the ‘climate change’ zealots there at the U.N. continue to say about global warming, climate change, climate disruption or whatever other nomenclature they may choose to use when describing this supposed coming apocalypse.  And that they actually think there is anything that man could do to affect the climate, one way or another, makes clear just how delusional they are.

Think about it, the local weather guy can’t accurately predict the weather from one week to the next and yet Gore expects us to believe what he claims the weather will be 50 years from now.  The earth is over 4 billion years old, and mankind’s total existence on earth represents milliseconds. The idea that man, in any way, can influence climate is ludicrous. The current theory of ‘global warming’ is based on pure junk science.  There is simply no other possible conclusion to come to.

Not one of Gore’s apocalyptic predictions has come to pass. That’s a pretty poor track record to tout when accusing the president of spouting nothing but nonsense. Gore should follow that age old adage of keeping one’s mouth shut and allowing people to think you’re a moron instead of opening it and removing all doubt.  It would save him a great deal of humiliating embarrassment.  And even if everything Gore says is true, his solutions make no sense, to punish Americans and American industry.

The global warming meme has not worked out too well for the globalists, based as it was on computer models which have turned out to be all wrong and have no predictive value, but the globalists already have too much invested in the hoax to give up on it easily. So we can expect to continue to hear much, much more hysterical ‘Chicken Little’ alarmism of impending doom coming from the Gore types who were hoping to continue to cash in on the selling of the scam to the gullible.

Lastly, let’s say we go solar.  The cost of installation of 10-12 solar panels: $34,000. Tax write off subject to eligibility: $6,000. Amount to be financed over 20 years: $28,000. Monthly payment about $135.00.  Replacement required after about 20 years. Cost of recovering the toxic materials exceeds the cost of the materials. The plastic will become a major disposal problem resulting in a high cost for disposal.  Any outstanding loan balance will be deducted from the sale price of the home if sold before loan payoff.  Estimated savings in electric bill, $50-$70 per month. Just sayin.

AL GORE, EVEN HE DIDN’T THINK THINGS WOULD GET THIS BAD???

Al Gore 4

As proof that he must spend a great deal of his time living in own special kind of denial, ex vice president and everyone’s favorite leftwing global warming scam artist, Al Gore, recently told The Hollywood Reporter (THR) that his 2006 exercise in climate propaganda, “An Inconvenient Truth,” was not only far from being an exaggeration when it came to any of its claims, but actually underestimated just how serious global warming would turn out to be.  Even though such a claim ignores completely the fact that NONE of the predictions made throughout the film came about.

So it was then that just says before the 10th anniversary of his epic boondoggle, it was in the interview with THR that Gore said, “I wish the film had over-estimated the seriousness of the crisis, but unfortunately it actually underestimated how serious it is,” Gore told THR in an interview Thursday, just days before the 10th anniversary of his film.  Gore added, “But on the positive side, solutions are now being developed so quickly that there is real cause for hope and optimism.”  I’d be curious to know just what specific solutions he might be talking about.

Gore’s 2006 film made the claim that global warming was the greatest challenge facing mankind, and that human-produced carbon dioxide emissions were pushing the Earth towards an ecological disaster. The film even won Gore and his crew two Oscars in 2007, and the movie revitalized Gore’s political relevance.  But did Gore’s film actually “underestimate” the seriousness of global warming?  A group of reporters re-watched “An Inconvenient Truth” in early May to see just how well Gore’s predictions fared after a decade.  I’m afraid old Al didn’t fare too well.

It has been pointed out by any number of sources just how far off the mark Gore’s top five predictions really were. Some of his more famous predictions, including that Mount Kilimanjaro would have no snow by 2016, turned out to be hilariously incorrect, and, yes Al, Kilimanjaro still has plenty of snow.  But that didn’t stop Gore from playing up his film’s success when interviewed by THR.  For example, Gore actually bragged about his expertise on the connection between global warming and extreme weather.  His expertise?  He’s kidding, right?

Gore said, “All 50 of the state insurance commissioners were meeting in New Orleans and had invited me to make a presentation on the linkage between hurricanes and the climate crisis.”  And he went on to say, “It was scheduled for the very day that Hurricane Katrina ended up slamming into New Orleans.”  I’m wondering if those insurance commissioners regret paying Gore to explain global warming to them since there’s not a lot of evidence global warming has caused the weather to become more extreme.  Is Al simply delusional, or just plain dishonest?

For crying out loud, even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) data doesn’t support Gore’s idiotic claim. The IPCC found in 2013 there “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.”  The IPCC also found “no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and “[n]o robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.”

What we have here, from old Al, what we have here is really nothing more than another example of repeating a lie over and over again until it’s seen as being the truth.  And when you take into consideration the fact that the left has been telling what is essentially the same lie, going first from global cooling in the 1970s to now where the greatest thing we have to fear, even more the Muslim terrorists, is global warming.  And still the vast majority of Americans simply don’t buy.  But I’m pretty sure that Al will keep working to sell his climate nonsense.

‘GLOBAL WARMING’: AL GORE’S PREDICTIONS PROVEN TO BE A BUST!!!

Al Gore 2

It was in honor of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the release of Al Gore’s idiotic documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ that a group of enterprising young reporters recently sat down to re-watch that which was the very lucrative propaganda film to see just how closely Gore’s fearmongering about climate disaster actually matches up with reality.  Those who might have been paying attention at the time will remember how it was that Gore warned increasing carbon dioxide emissions would spur catastrophic global warming that would cause more extreme weather, wipe out cities and cause ecological collapse. To stop global warming, humans needed to ditch fossil fuels and basically change every aspect of their lives.

To sit down and watch Gore’s work of pure fiction would be like hopping in a time machine and taking a trip back in time and would be about as enjoyable as having a sharp stick jabbed in your eye.  You journey back to that time when flip phones were considered cool and “Futurama” was still putting out new episodes and to a world where a bitter presidential candidate was trying to rebrand himself as being some sort of an environmental crusader.  And in looking back at Gore’s many apocalyptic warnings, which were alarming to many back in 2006, how many have actually come true?  Just how well have Gore’s warnings of future climate disaster lined up with reality?  Was he truly the climate change Nostradamus of his time?

Gore’s been harping on climate change since at least the late 1980s, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he was finally able to strike it rich with the success of his propaganda film.  Gore opened his little film by first talking about nature before jumping to a presentation that he’s giving, one where he shows the first image ever taken of the Earth from space.  And it’s from that image that he then proceeds to jump to all sorts of unproven conclusions and begins making all manner of alarmist claims about global warming.  Not one of which has any basis in any actual science.  He simply makes everything up!  It’s really quite amazing.  Below are the highlights, or lowlights perhaps, regarding Gore’s convenient untruths:

1) Kilimanjaro? Still Snowy:

Gore claimed that Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, would be snow-free “within the decade.”

Wrong. There’s still snow there year-round, and ecologists monitoring Kilimanjaro’s snowpack found that it may have shrunk a little, but they are confident it’s not going anywhere soon. “Preliminary findings show that the ice is nowhere near melting,” said Imani Kikoti, an ecologist at Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. “Much as we agree that the snow has declined over centuries, but we are comfortable that its total melt will not happen in the near future.”

2) Global Warming? Not Happening:

Gore claimed that a rise in temperature due to man-made carbon dioxide emissions was “uninterrupted and intensifying.”

Wrong. Global temperatures showed little-to-no warming after Gore released his film. In fact, as the Daily Caller notes, “surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s. Satellite-derived temperature data showed, until the recent El Niño, no statistically significant warming trend for more than 21 years.”

3) Storms Aren’t Stronger:

“And of course when the oceans get warmer, that causes stronger storms,” Gore said in the film. “That same year that we had that string of big hurricanes, we also set an all-time record for tornadoes.”

Gore’s film came out just after Hurricane Katrina. He mentions that the U.S. was hit with a string of severe storms in the early 2000s and that Japan saw a record number of typhoons. “The insurance industry has actually noticed this,” Gore said. “Their recovered losses are going up.”

But even findings from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the organization with which Gore shared the 2007 Nobel Prize, show that storms aren’t more extreme since 2006. The IPCC reported in 2103 that there “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.” The IPCC also found “no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and “[n]o robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.”

4) North Pole? Still Cold:

Gore claimed that the Arctic could be ice-free “within the next 50 to 70 years,” threatening extinction of polar bears and other Arctic animals.

But Chip Knappenberger, a climate scientist at the libertarian Cato Institute, states that the Arctic is almost completely surrounded by land, so the ice that forms there tends to stay there. Arctic ice coverage has shrunk in recent decades, but “I doubt the Arctic will be free of all ice in any summer, although the total area may well be greatly reduced in the future if it continues to warm there… Such a situation should not be overly worrisome, as there is ample evidence that it has occurred in the past and clearly, polar bears, and everything else up there managed to survive.” Polar bears are actually thriving despite the slightly shrinking ice coverage.

5) New Ice Age? Also Not Happening:

Gore warned that “At the end of the last ice age, as the last glacier was receding from North America, the ice melted and … an ice dam on the eastern border formed and one day it broke.” Fresh, cold water bled out into the North Atlantic, he claimed, causing the Gulf Stream to stall and sending Europe into another ice age. Gore then suggested that another Ice Age could begin if Greenland’s ice sheet melts and brings more cold water into the North Atlantic.  Australian scientists have since totally debunked this theory that the Gulf Stream, or AMOC, is weakening. “Claims of strengthening or reducing of the AMOC are therefore pure speculation,” they wrote in a paper published in March.

So the bottom line is that global warming isn’t exactly swelling the seas, but alarmism about it has certainly swelled Gore’s bank account. And while the movie was nothing short of a complete work of pure fiction, based on nothing more than bogus science, Gore was able to make for himself a rather considerable fortune from it.  Real science has never required fascism for its support, just solid theories with enough tangible signs and evidence that no legal force or bribed “consensus” was necessary.  The Spanish Inquisition was the last time legal powers forced people to swear an oath to their religion. History will record Democrats as being the instigators of the 21st century Democrat Inquisition.

But you must admit that old Al comes by his sleaziness pretty honestly, you might even say that it’s kind of a family tradition.  After all, his father was a crook, not to mention someone who was a hardcore racist as well, but that’s a-whole-nother story, for anther time.  But make no mistake, the bottom line here is that Gore is nothing but a shifty shit.  He’s the ‘Doug Neidermeyer’ of modern day climate change alarmists, and the dopes that have supported, and continue to support him, are nothing but empty-headed imbeciles.  Not one of the claims that he touted anywhere in his bizarre little movie ever materialized, not one.  And yet despite that fact, it’s we the nonbelievers of this farce who are the ones called names.
