The media has been having a prolonged belly laugh at a group that had the temerity to suggest that the world would end today. Of course its ridiculous when Harold Camping predicted that the world will be over today, but not when Al Gore predicted that the North Pole would melt in five years. True believers in Gore would say thats the difference between science and eschatology. But when bogus science warns us of an apocalypse if we dont follow the tenets of their ideology, then how much difference is there anyway?
Of course no one expects MSNBC to do sneering reports of global warming activists freezing at a protest or Al Gore being forced to watch a count down of a solidly frozen North Pole. Such mockery is only directed at people who believe in more unpopular forms of apocalypses. At least unpopular at the broadcasting studios of Manhattan. Camping is ridiculous, but Al Gore is right on the money.
The only real difference between Harold Camping and Al Gore, is that Harold Camping believes what hes saying, while Al Gore preaches one thing to his followers, but lives a lifestyle in direct contraction of it. The Vice President turned Prophet of Gaia lectures on watching our carbon footprint and then flies on jet fueled carbon wings to another concert on behalf of the planet.

Is Camping going to give back the monies his loyal followers gave him?
There is, of course, a huge difference between Gore and the “eschatologists”. A religious group given to extremeism cannot force people to join them or live and believe as they do. Gore and his hysterical friends can, however, force policies that interfere and influence they way we live, how much of our paycheck we get to keep and how we dispose of our trash.
Religious kooks cannot change our lives. The enviroloons can.

Jesus Christ said it well in Matthew 24;36,But of that day and hour no one knows,neither the angels of heaven,nor the Son ,but the Father alone.
I say we have a giant “End of the World” Party when Rush’s Al Gore clock runs out.
