Gore: Global Warming More Serious Than Terrorism
NewsMax ^ | 11/13/05 | NewsMax

The United States has been waging a war on international terrorism for more than four years, but what does Al Gore think is a more serious issue?

Global warming.

In in interview with Australia's The Age, the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee and former senator drew parallels between those who dispute global warming, and its investment implications, with Neville Chamberlain and others who wanted to appease the Nazis before World War II.

Winston Churchill warned in the 1930s that a storm was gathering and democratic nations would be forced to "sip from the bitter cup" until they reasserted their moral authority.

"The time of half-measure has passed. We are entering a period of consequences," says Gore, quoting Churchill.

"What changed in the U.S. with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately," he says. "I don't want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing."

Gore is the co-founder and chairman of the British-based sustainable investing company Generation Investment.

Actually, my sister-in-law still believes in "acid rain."

I never had the heart to break the reality to her, but that is caused by Pine Needles!

"If the sun....ever fails to go down.....you'll be ready! I love those Bud Lite commercials!

I remember that one. I beleive it was "Mr. 80 SPF Sunblock Wearer". "It blocks all the sun's rays, and any stray rays from distant suns, in distant galaxies...."

My fav is "Mr. Homemade Pontoon Boat Maker". "What do you have when you take some discarded 55-gallon drums, some plywood, a stereo system, a blender, and a string of lights? Way TOO much electricity over a whole lot of water..."

"acid rain".... that is caused by Pine Needles!

I bet she'd have a cow when I drive by in my diesel truck....Taking the sulphur out of diesel fuel cost me $650 bucks to have my fuel pump and injectors rebuilt....thanks to Al and Bubba, and I also pay an extra 6 cents/gallon federal taxes on my fuel....

Question: Why are "Big Oil" company exects before Congress for making a profit margain of 7-10 cents/gal, when federal, state, and local governments made more than 4 times that?

Guess the stockholders of Golden West grew tired of wasting piles of money on Fat Albert to hang around and do nothing.

Al Gore is not scary. Scarey is the number of people that voted for him and still wish he had won the election. That's scary.

Facts are facts. The decomposition of pine-needles will always acidify the water that has trickled through it.

Everything else was an environmental and political HOAX, and these people must be held accountable for their actions.

Global warming not only blows up hotels and flies planes into skyscrapers, it also enriches uranium and manufactures WMDs!

Hey, how many of you remember "Acid Rain?"

How about "Nuclear Winter," which was the hysterical future scenario that would be caused by all the hydrocarbons and soot resulting from burning cities. Funny, these nuts don't realize that they're now arguing a position that's 180 degrees opposite, but based on the same cause!

Whining wankers like Algore should not dare to utter the name Churchill (unless they're talking about that anti-Christ, leftist scumbag Ward Churchill). Winston Churchill is so far above the mealy-mouthed partisan hack named Algore that it is just an embarrassment for Al to try to sound statesmanlike by quoting the master.

I remember that winter, as well. The kids didn't go to school the month of January. In April we had the Great Flood of '77. The kids missed that month of school, too, except April 1st. August was so hot that I almost freaked when my electric bill was above $40.

OK Al. It's time to burn up a few hundred more tons of jet fuel flying to environmental conferences. That'll cool the globe!

<< 1) This loser has completely lost his mind (if he ever had one)!

...........................................................

2) I hope he runs. I hope he runs. I hope he runs. I hope he runs. >>

Essentially, failed divinity-diploma-mill dropout and room-teperature-IQd Al(Fredo) Gore(leone) has no "mind."

When occupying and bemanuring the offices usually reserved for the vice president of the United States, the seriously retarded Gore was but a breath away from being the world's most dangerous-ever dullard.

[During one visit to the Denver Post building his every-bit-as-intelligent advance-team ordered that paper's more-than-a-hundred-years-old Board Room table replaced for a meeting because 'the vice president has said he wants to have a "round-table meeting."' To their credit, in the face of self-important lumpen rage, the Post guys refused]

Gore's well-known to the Washington-oligarchy mental retardation was both the Cli'ton Crime Family's cynical reason for choosing him as its running mate and, as his gang had so cynically anticipated, the principle, primary reason the Senate refused to convict the red-handed, indicted, impeached and subsequently criminally-convicted and disbarred Billy-Bubba Blythe Cli'ton.

And he is [By his standards, anyway] "running."

The Goremless poor bastard.

Oh, yeah, the remote possibility that winters might be one or two degrees warmer on average in a hundred years, would be a LOT more deadly than being blown up, shot or beheaded or stoned to death by some bearded maniac.

I thought Al shaved his beard.
