Those educated believe Al Gores movie is a joke. There is nothing "science" about it.

Gore warns us that humankind has only 10 years on its current path before we're all toast.

Like a homeless person, mind gone from alcohol, drugs or mental illness, wandering the streets, muttering to himself. But this one gets and audience. (Of course, it's an audience of equally feeble-minded droolers.)

[Redbob]

Last time I "grabbed my popcorn tub in panic" was when I thought Algore might become President of the United States.

Wheeeew!

Despite his claims to the contrary, Gore's film is hardly apolitical.

Exactly, it's all political, just a vehicle for his run for the top in 2008.

Algor is the Ralph Nader of the 21st Century.

"Gore warns us that humankind has only 10 years on its current path before we're all toast."


Sounds so familiar . . . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568495870/103-1015620-5651813?v=glance&n=283155

Ten years to go.

Hmmm, two to the next election, then two presidential terms.

Wonder why Algor picked ten years?

I bet the right president for eight of those ten years could save us all, if we were willing to embrace a radical change in the way the US views such things as economics, property rights, and free speech.

But who could tackle such a task? Who would you pick to be the one to save us? Who is it who has the insight, the correct knowledge, and a deep understanding of the way Earth works? Who has personally measured the thickness of the Arctic icepack from a nuclear submarine?

Yeah it is pretty shocking seeing ALGORE slepping his bags from hotel to hotel. I understand that is in the film.

[trebb]

Most of it consists of Gore giving lectures with infantile visual aids, including cartoons that seem designed for 2-year-olds.

Which is consistent with his target audience. Only a fool or mental deficient would take him seriously (as the author claims that Gore takes himself seriously).

Sounds like Ted Danson.

Another great article by Cinnamon Stillwell. It must be lonely for her as a conservative at the San Francisco Chronicle.

When I clicked through, the first ad attached to the article by Google was:

Reappearance of Christ
He is physically in the world now & will soon be heard & seen by all!

How much of Google does AlGore own?

[Carry_Okie]

Condescending arguments bereft of evidence. No mention even of how satellites have confirmed that surface temperature variation tracks with cyclical solar radiance almost perfectly.

A vacuous assertion of opinion.

Editor Scientific American

Sir:

Michael Shermer should rename his colum The Credulous Inquirer. To rely on Professor Al Gore, whose PhDs in chemistry and physics, along with his world-famous expertise in climatology, make him the preeminent authority on global warming, to flip ones opinion certainly ranks right up there in the world class of credulity.

Mr. Shermer forgets the fact that 30 years of satellite measurements--corroborated by weather-balloon data--fail to reveal any warming whatever. Worse, he ignores the brevity of human lifetimes. Climate moves on geological timescales. A true skeptic would reply to Mr. Gore's fatuous maunderings, "show me 10,000 years [or better yet 100,000 years] of anchored satellite data, and then we can begin to discuss the question of whether human-caused global warming is taking place."

As for Mr. Sachs' companion piece, "sustainable" is one of those words which should cause a sane man to reach for his six-gun. Both global-warming doomsayers and "sustainability" salesmen are pursuing hidden agendas. The "solutions" to the "problems" they advertise always include bigger government, less freedom, higher taxes, more regulation, and more and bigger bureaucracies. They are attempting to panic governments into taking actions which would never succeed if subjected to a popular vote.
