Al Gore Has Impeccable Comedic Timing

By Doug Powers  •  February 1, 2011 10:36 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

A good portion of the country is getting buried in snow and hit with frigid temps, so naturally Al Gore figured this would be the perfect time to remind everyone how hot it’s getting:

Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.

As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming:

“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.”

“A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.”

No matter what happens, it’s global warming — just shut up and give your money to Generation Investment Management and pass the Twinkies, denier!

At what point do the laws of science alter enough so that the global warming causes hotter weather instead of snow? Coincidentally around the beginning of summer. Settled science is very seasonal.

    This is not so much about science as it is office politics. Anyone who bucks the consensus is punished.

    I suspect the number of scientists who are true believers in AGW (those who don’t just believe because they’re told to) are MUCH rarer.

    I heard someone pose that very question to a warmist (not algore). The response? Something to the effect that if climate stopped changing then the “theory” would be disproved. The problem, of course, is that when the climate stops changing what will be proven is that the Earth has lost its atmosphere.

    Meanwhile, Gore laughs all the way to the bank. I hope you have a lot of that cash stashed away somewhere safe, Al.

    Last year Gore claimed that we would never see snow again, that winters would be warmer than ever. The trouble is that once again the global warming alarmists are taking inconsistent positions in order to advance their cap and trade agenda.

    Today I listened to Joe Bastardi, Chief Long Range Forecaster and meteorologist from Accuweather.

    According to Bastardi, “This winter is on track to become the coldest for the nation as a whole since the 1980s or possibly even the late 1910s” What’s more, Bastardi predicted three or four out of the next five winters could be just as cold, if not colder. See http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/45220/bastardi-three-of-next-five-wi.asp. Bastardi thinks that not only will the next few winters be colder than normal for much of the U.S., but that the long-term climate will turn colder over the next 20 to 30 years.

    But, hey, Gore wouldn’t have gotten as rich as he is by telling the truth!

    Michael Crichton said it best:

    You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. Let me tell you about our planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There’s been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complex creatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, the amphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away — all this against a background of continuous and violent upheaval. Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away, cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, an endless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. Earth has survived everything in its time.

    It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. Might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears earth, so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It’s powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out. You think this is the first time that’s happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosive glass, like fluorine.

    When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself. In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long time. Hundred years ago we didn’t have cars, airplanes, computers or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can’t imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven’t got the humility to try. We’ve been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we’re gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us.
