Al Gore, Pat Robertson, and Al Sharpton on a beach
Oh, dear Lord. Prepare for a massive blast of hot air about hot air:
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson are sitting on a couch and in walks Al Gore.
This isn’t a joke.
It’s the plot of a new commercial in the former vice president’s fight against global warming.
And it was filmed at the 57th Street beach Wednesday.
Gore and his nonprofit agency, the Alliance for Climate Protection, are pitting odd couplings – think Sharpton and Robertson – in a series of public-service announcements to draw attention to the environment. The $300 million campaign is expected to launch next week, CBS News reported. Gore talks up his views in a “60 Minutes” interview set to air Sunday.
The global issue got local Wednesday as a film crew set up scaffolding, lighting equipment and a tan leather couch on the strand, not far from the waves.
A witness said Sharpton, the grandiose civil rights voice in New York, sat on the left.
Robertson, the conservative preacher and Regent University founder, was on the right.
“It was like ‘The Twilight Zone’ seeing them sitting on the couch,” said Bill Kelly, a special events coordinator in the city’s resort office. “And then around the corner comes Al Gore.”
The public-service announcement – apparently Gore was directing – is meant to show that people who don’t agree on much can still agree that the environment is important.
CBS reported other pairings will include Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks and Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich.
No mention of this, I’m sure. Or this. Or this.
Increasingly, GOP elites are giving in to the Gore cult and abandoning the scientific process and scientific integrity for political expediency.
Those who are doing battle against the global warming alarmists are getting yanked off YouTube.
John McCain is on the eco-bandwagon.
And the enviro-nitwit-ization of the GOP is nearly complete.
Yes, the planet is indeed in peril.

I like Toby Keith, but if he does this, I will never buy another of his albums.
$300 Million? Where is he getting the money?
I learned over 30 years ago that globull warming is a crock. That was about the time we were all supposed to freeze to death. Only happens now when Alvis is in town.
You know, I’m as skeptical about global warming as anyone, and I think it was silly for the environmental movement to hitch itself to a very questionable apocolyptic doomsday scenario. But I don’t think anyone can argue that dumping toxic gases into the atmosphere, polluting our oceans and fresh water resources, or using up the world’s supply of fossil fuels in the span of a couple centuries is a good thing.
I don’t even have children, and I still feel an overwhelming sense of guilt at the amount of damage my mere existence causes this planet. You can keep calling people names because you don’t want to hear what they say, but the fact is the planet you leave your children will be in a much graver state than it was during your stay here, and I don’t see you doing much to change that. I hate hippies too, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a point every now and then.
Oh yes it is.
I’m with you Romeo, no more Toby Keith for this family if this is indeed true.
You don’t think we are doing a better job of the Stewardship of the environment than the last couple of generations?
I remember the brown cloud in LA when I was a kid… its better now…
Denver? same thing…
We’re working on it. But that does not mean that enviros get to decide everything for us. We can use the environment RESPONSIBLY. Use it, don’t abuse it…
Problem is, that the enviros want NO use… they won’t meet folks even partway.
In Annapolis, Maryland the greenloonies drew blue lines on Main Street to show where the high water marks will be if we don’t follow Father Gore.
The are expecting 20+ ft tidal surges.
I just find it amazing that Gore is able to perpetuate these myths while making millions off of his congregation.
As the saying goes; “Throw your money to the sky, what sticks is yours the rest goes to the Lord.”
I have a hard time believing Toby Keith would sit on the couch with the Dixie Chicks. It could be true, but I just cannot imagine it.
huggybear,
Thank you for your words!
anAL GOREtentive
Then I trust, Huggy, that you will do the honorable thing :>)
Al Gore has been MIA for the coldest winter in US history and just as spring begins; allakazaam out of hiding in the shadows comes the jester, Al Gore.
Scarier still; Gore has conspired with what is left of our US based industries into
buyinginvesting in this sham. Now it is not a cause or ever was, it is for profit.I’m with huggybear (#3) on this one. People swore we’d never fly to the moon either..
Um, but what I can confidently argue is that CO2 is not a toxic gas.
I’m not surprised about Keith and The Dixie Chicks. He’s come out against the Iraq war so maybe their relationship has thawed.
Put the drugs down huggybear!
You have watched Al’s inconvienient lie one time too many.
Please get help huggybear, go to narcanon ASAP!
The greatest supporter of our Troops is against the war. OK mookie, are you and huggybear sharing some reefer?
Maybe before you put crap out, you might want to listen to some of Toby’s songs.
“The Statue of Liberty was shakin’ her Fist”
I hope Robertson’s fealty to the spiritual leader of the Global Warming Cult can put to rest the notion that he is a leader of any significant portion of conservative Christians.
Fixed that part.
The title to this post was scary. Where’s Greenpeace when you need some whales pushed back into the ocean?
Keith has said numerous times that he doesn’t support the war but does support the troops and that’s why he goes to Iraq and performs for them.
Gore and his
nonprofit agency, the Alliance for Climate Protectionfixed that..
wait..
should extortion be better?
this sure does sound like the opening to a bar joke.
Or the Outer Limits!
Juan McCain once again demonstrates his leadership by caving into the pagan religion of Earth Worship…
O/T Rush had a good line in his daily email today:
Still think it’s crap, Rooster?
I would not go to a Toby Keith concert not because of his political views or views on globull warming but because I have seen him in concert twice. At the concerts I was urinated on twice by drunken fools and vomited on once.
Al Gore, Pat Robertson, and Al Sharpton were on a beach. Unfortunately, they unexpectedly encountered the “Save the Whales” organization, whose members repreatedly tried to return the struggling trio back into their natural element…
To huggy, et. al.
Who said it was? Check out the Tragedy of the Commons to find out what is going on.
Sorry, no guilt whatever. Used it all up for White Guilt. By the time Rev. Sharptom cured me of that, had none left to feel. Guilt, oh Guilt, where is thy sting?
Don’t see you doing much either. And why should we, given that a single volcanic eruption can do vastly more environmental damage? No one thinks we can stop volcanoes, do they?
Actually, I don’t hate them. I just find them silly and boring, like eco-geeks. In fact, I like one of their songs;
The answer my friend,
is in econ 101,
The answer is in econ 101.
Well, all I know is that it’s almost April, I live between Houston and Galveston, and I STILL haven’t turned on my air conditioner. I’m thanking God for this “global warming” since I got my electric bill today and it’s still hovering around $75.00. With any luck, this “global warming” will keep on for another month, so that I can off-set my gas prices! LOL
No mookie it is not crap. It’s crap that you drag up Iraq and a patriot like Toby Keith with global a warming hoax.
sweet Jesus. The end of civilization as we know it. Y’all got any extra Dinty Moore?
There is only one explanation for the insanity.
“The world has gone mad”
That is a lot of fat on that couch.
You are right: “dumping toxic gases into the atmosphere, polluting our oceans and fresh water resources, or using up the world’s supply of fossil fuels in the span of a couple centuries” is not a good thing. And no one said it was, but concocting a problem out of whole cloth and getting scores of ignoramuses and the “hate America” crowd to run around and scream “the sky is falling” is not the way to deal with it.
You have to ask yourself and all the greenhouse gasbags one big question: what is the “correct” climate for this planet? Do you know? Has anyone addressed that problem? The fact is, this planet has been hotter and wetter for millions of years. We have swung from warm ages to ice ages and back repeatedly, all without the help of SUVs and American industries.
Did you know that during the last interglacial period, the average sea level was approximately 6 meters (about 18 FEET higher than it was now (http://esp.cr.usgs.gov/info/lite/)? That was roughly 125 thousand years ago. And the Gore licking clowns are getting their sphincters all puckered up over recent sea level increases of then the 1990 to 2100 rise would range from 280 to 340 millimeters. At 254 mm/inch, that is an increase of (are you sitting down?) an inch to maybe an inch and a half! Quick! Build an ark!
Please don’t let people that couldn’t get more than Cs and Ds in science dictate what you think about this. There is likely more effects on so called global warming from the sun and other natural effects that what we do.
Frankly, rather than beat up the U.S. for cleaning up “only” 90% of our emissions, we should sell our technology to emerging economies, which would to more to clean the atmosphere, oceans and land than trillions of dollars spent to get us from 90% clean to 92% clean.
Gore is a scientific neophyte that is only profiteering over his newfound notoriety.
Too bad for Gore that notoriety does not equal expertise or knowledge. A con man yes, scientist no. I daresay never.
It’s times like this that I feel like the world has gone completely crazy.
I’m working on a construction project in an area where, every time it rains, raw sewage goes into a tidal marsh and rivers because the sewage treatment system is overtaxed, as stormwater goes through it as well (washing off oil, trash, and everything and anything left on a street). We (meaning users of the sewage system) need to fix this.
It’s completely insane to chase climate change when you can catch real environmental impacts that are measurable and pose a real threat. Infrastructure is what we should be worried about.
We’re going to start paying carbon taxes chasing something that’s going to prove not to be true, to people who aren’t going to use it the way they claim they will, and in the end we’ll just end up poorer and unable to use our own resources to survive.
Only as a point of reference as to why he and The Dixie Chicks agreed to be in the same room together. There’s no question he’s a patriot.
Huggybear (#3)
Maybe you are too young to remember the 60’s. I remember people throwing trash out the windows of their smog belching cars. I remember the Cuyahoga river catching on fire in Ohio. I remember that Lake Erie was considered “dead”.
In the course of my life, the planet (at least in the USA) is much better.
If Gore would stop yammering on like he does that would be a heckuva lot less CO2 in the air.
OK mookie, I see the point now, wasn’t sure how he and the Dixie Chicks were in the same sentence.
That’s why I think this ad campaign is very clever. There’s going to be a lot of the “what the hell” factor. Whether it gets people to convert is a different story.
This has been the longest running cold- temperature winters I have ever experienced. Probably an anti-global warming conspiracy perpetrated by the Bush Administration! AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
Not a peep from the Goracle until the first thaws of spring.
Will the Chicks wear their FUTK t-shirts? Or are they actually going to act like adults for this performance?
Hey, it’s not like they’re busy making money by touring, or anything.
Al Gore could care less about global warming. That’s just the excuse. He’s desperate to establish some sort of legacy for himself, and keep himself in the “limelight” for whatever politics will hand him in the future. The only real cause, he champions, is himself. The radical environmentalists, his worshipers, use him and global warming as a means to denounce capitalism, establish socialism, and change the U.S. to what they want, with them in control, of course. 10 centuries ago, we had major “global warming” occur, and everyone, and everything, did just fine. Agriculture boomed, famines ceased, exploration took off. The polar bears did not die off. Animals didn’t go extinct. And, the U.S., Europe and Asia didn’t drown in 20 feet of water. Northern England even had vinyards because of the warmth. Streets there are still named after the local vinyards. Plus, farmers did farm in GREENland. Then we had “global cooling”. Famines came, and the River Thames froze over every winter, enough to support businesses on the ice. The only bad part of global warming was the ease of infectious disease transmission. All of this shows that the planet flucuates in climate constantly. We humans, in our superiority complex, seem to, once again, believe that we control the solar system. Only people fostering that idea is the politicians looking for a cause to keep themselves in the news.

That’s the whole problem. If you see yourself as nothing more than a burden to the planet, you really should just kill yourself and do the world a favor. It is a harsh thing to say, but all I’m doing is taking that line of reasoning to the inevitable conclusion.
The fact is, human life is never a waste and it is something to be greatly celebrated. All those nasty fumes and waste coming from power plants make your life a lot safer and comfortable. All those “food miles” incurred by your shopping ensure that you are free to focus your time on what you want to do as your days are not spent growing/producing your own food.
The day you reduce the value of human life to the amount of carbon units it produces is the day you stop valuing human life.
I remember when we were allowed to burn our own trash and yard debri.
Those days are long since over.
GORE is making mega bucks by spewing a lie.
Of course we have pollution….always have and always will.
I worry more about the contributions of illegals……..most have third world habits as I have seen first hand.
Now there’s a reason for concern.
I imagine GORE laughs all the way to the bank. “Those fools……..!!!”
Yes, the planet is indeed in peril.
Which planet?
Huggybear: This is exactly the logical conclusion of humans are only a bunch of random protoplasm that is here merely by chance.
On the other hand, is a soundly scientific, historically backed up belief system that GOD created the universe, made the earth and told humans to have dominion over it. In the latter view, humans feel privileged to be here, but certainly not guilty. Consistent with that view is that God put enough “resources” in the earth for humans to use and enjoy.
I’m not sure if you are aware of this, the “experts” have been telling us the earth is 10 years away from running out of oil. Only problem is – they have been saying that for over 50 years. It is somewhat telling – the “experts” have no idea how much resources God put in the earth. Note: This does not give humans a license to abuse the planet or waste resources – but rather a license to use and enjoy them.
If you consider all the knowledge of humans combined, when this is contrasted against all possible knowledge you realize mankind knows very little.
So – please reconsider, acknowledge your creator, be thankful for life, and investigate how you might come to know your creator and be found in his favor.
I heard on the radio yesterday that here in my hometown, the National Council of Churches (liberals) and the local ecumenical organization (liberals) are organizing a “pray for the earth” day. There is no question in my mind GW is a new pagan religion (read Al’s book – Earth In The Balance – He’s a pantheistic pagan) along with evolution.
The churches have truly lost their way and their mission.
I remember during the Arab oil embargo of the early ’70’s, the “experts” were saying we’d be out of oil before the turn of the century. Wrong. These same experts warned us about global cooling (new ice age), acid rain and the hole in the ozone. What do you hear about those things now days?
As the Psalmist said, some put their faith in horses and chariots. I put mine in the Lord God.
Dont fall for the liberal guilt you are destroying the planet by your very existence. Somebody bigger than the “experts” is in control. Btw – you know the definition of an expert dont you? “X” is an unknown quantity, “spert” is a drip under pressure. So you’re hearing from a lot of unknown drips under pressure.

I fully agree, Graysonret, and what’s more, I think history will regard Al Gore as one of the greatest hucksters of all times for having both propagated and perpetuated one of the most disputable and disprovable frauds imaginable on the more susceptible members of mankind.
And, now the trinity (man/bear/pig) in the war on global warming is complete. Amen.
Every time a Republican does not come right out and combat the barbaric superstition of liberal savages (ice caps will melt if we don’t appease Gaia), he is contributing to the spread of false knowledge.
Newt Gingrich has become a total sellout. I was disappointed with his speech this year at CPAC. If he cannot come out and combat this misinformation about global warming, then he should not self-appoint himself leader of conservative movement.
The same “logic” Next uses about being open to global warming for political purposes is the same “logic” open borders Republicans use: Pandering to mob misinformation.
I like what Cardinal Pell of Australia states about global warming hysteria:
You bring up several excellent points:
If Gore actually believed the pap he spews, ho would “walk the walk.” Instead, he routinely flies around in jets and SUVs, and lives in house that cosumes more energy than a small town.
Secondly, it would be interesting to calculate how much energy and resources illegals consume while being here, how much trash they generate, how many emissions they produce.
What exactly is the carbon footprint of an illegal invader?
Gore reminds me of the hucksters from the late 19th century…traveling around in wagons selling the magical cure all to man’s health problems and a few others if you weren’t positive as to what all was wrong with you. “Snake Oil Salesman” they were called.
What a farce…a fraud and snake oil salesman he is.
OK, fine. But how about signing a waiver before participating in this commercial. Something along the lines that, “if the eventual course of ‘global warming’ doesn’t bear out as I am alarmingly predicting, I (and all of my successively and related descendants) will agree to bear all the financial results of our mistaken prediction.
Just wondering what Al Gore’s “Alliance” ad is doing on this blog??
Y’know when I see this picture of the Goracle it reminds me of Alec Baldwin – only fatter!!! This really toasts me – I like Toby Keith too but, if he has anything to do with those foul mouthed tarts he will never see another dime from me.
This is America and he and the tarts have free speech but, there is a consequence to be paid for taking stupid positions. When you show shocking ignorance and totally defy logic be ready to have your ass called on it.
Say it tain’t so Toby – please???????

Well, we know it isn’t Pluto.
Wait, are you telling me Washington, DC could be under water if we ignore global warming? Is that a bad thing?
Gore and his Man-Bear-Pig. The politicians on board with this scam must be simply out of their minds.
For one thing, there’s plenty of oil, we just need to drill for it and refine it. Also expand nuclear, wind, hydro, sun and hemp fuel.
Can’t anybody talk some sense into McCain and Obama about how temperatures rise first, and THEN carbon-dioxide levels rise.
Carbon-dioxide doesn’t cause warming, sun activity does, warming causes CO2 levels to rise.
