Wealth in the balance

World of Gorecraft

**Written by Doug Powers Nobody in his or her right mind would resign from the prestigious American Physical Society, but that it has happened can now serve as further proof that global warming causes mental illness. From Fox News: Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the [...]

Bear in the balance

**Written by Doug Powers Given Gore’s enormous level of eco-hypocrisy, it’s possible he’s only opposed because the proposed pipeline wouldn’t run straight to his mansions, limos and private jets. From The Hill: Former Vice President Al Gore called on President Obama late Wednesday to reject a pending permit application for a controversial pipeline project, calling [...]

“NOOOOO!”

Thinning the herd?

**Written by Doug Powers On Saturday I wrote a little about an Al Gore diatribe from a conference in Aspen that was quoted in an article in the Colorado Independent. The partial transcript suggests that Gore is becoming even more frustrated than he was during the Great Dimpled Chad Hunt of 2000. If you missed [...]

“Bulls*#t!”

**Written by Doug Powers Stand down, Green Helmets! From Forbes by way of Yahoo News: NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Because the world isn’t paying attention generously enough, Al Gore is leaving behind the “Alliance for Climate Protection” and replacing it with the Climate Reality Project: Former Vice President Al Gore launched a new campaign Tuesday aimed at exposing the “full truth, scope, scale and impact of the climate crisis.” The [...]

Feel the burn

**Written by Doug Powers Melting glaciers? Eh. More hurricanes? Shrug. Collapsing bridges? Pfft. It’ll screw up your Internet access? Everybody panic! At least that’s the hope this time: Wi-fi internet access and other communications are at risk from global warming unless measures are taken to protect them from rising temperatures and stormier weather, a government [...]

The dream is slipping away

**Written by Doug Powers What do you suppose is the carbon footprint of just the study of global warming? The study of anthropogenic global warming just has to be one of the leading causes of anthropogenic global warming, yet the industry is continually given a pass things like this: WASHINGTON (AP) — A rocket carrying [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Al Gore blamed the nasty late-January/early February winter weather on global warming, in spite of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Environmental Protection Agency predicting warmer winters with less snow. With an additional inconvenient truth for the Goracle, Anne Jolis writes in the Wall Street Journal about the Twentieth [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Nothing’s confirmed yet, but it would be a perfect match — Olbermann could spew the hot air and the ManBearPig could peddle the carbon offsets to Keith’s followers to protect themselves. It would be a “venom and antidote” business partnership made in heaven. From the New York Times: Keith Olbermann, the [...]

Super warming

**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?” [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Early this morning, there was a lunar eclipse. Did you see it? My eyes were eclipsed by my eyelids so I missed it. The event reminded me of another lunar eclipse that occurred in February of 2008 — a cycle known as “the eclipse that saved Columbus.” The story begins more [...]

Carhartt, the cold-weather outfitter of choice for the discerning Gorebot who knows that freezing to death at a global warming summit gives the deniers the upper hand ********** One thing’s for certain: Ixchtel, the Mayan Moon Goddess to which the [...]

Worth in the Balance

Anybody else dare question the mighty Gore?

**Written by Doug Powers The $75.5-million Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences in Los Angeles is set to open on September 13th — maybe. The school is named after uber capitalist hyper-hypocrite Al Gore, as well as Rachel Carson, who championed a DDT ban that was responsible for millions of malaria deaths but somehow saved the [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Poor Al’s watching all that money fly out the window in Washington, as Cap and Trade sits dormant on the table, and he’s saying “what about me” while blaming the notoriously right-wing media: During an Aug. 10 conference call, Gore launched into a critique of the media’s recent coverage of ClimateGate, [...]

What possible hope can there be for the rest of us?

End of a Love Story

“This award for promoting sustainable lifestyles will look great hanging on a wall in the cavernous, climate-controlled living room in one of my mansions!”

Clearly Gore’s humble Nashville abode was way too confining, so Al has purchased a new gigantic pulpit from which to preach to the rest of us about how our gas-powered leaf blowers and electric can openers are killing the planet: Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to [...]
