Al Gore: Earth Is In 'Full-Scale Planetary Emergency'
Space.com ^ | 26 Oct 06 | Leonard David

Posted on 10/26/2006 10:27:49 AM PDT by roaddog727

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico – Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has called for better use of the “space resource” to battle Earth’s climate crisis, enlisting entrepreneurial muscle to help solve global issues that threaten the planet’s habitability.

Gore said he has long been a fan of faster, cheaper, better approaches that allow the private sector to exploit the space resource “in a responsible and creative, and cost-efficient way.”

As an example, Gore spotlighted the competitive and dynamic forces unleashed by the entrepreneurial growth of the Internet.

“We ought to learn that lesson and apply it to space,” Gore said. “Because of the environmental climate crisis, we need to speed up the introduction of private companies into the creative exploitation of the space resource."

Gore spoke as part of a Wirefly X Prize Cup Executive Summit 2006 [image], held here October 19, attended by a range of executives, visionaries and space and high-tech leaders.

The special says that "the Earth's magnetic field could be gone within a few centuries, exposing the planet to the relentless blast of charged particles from space with unpredictable consequences...." blah, blah, blah.

I am trying to decide if I prefer the relentless blast of charged particles from Algore's mouth, or the particles from space. Its a tough choice, but if given a choice, I think I'd go with the latter.

You totally avoided the third choice; wind blown from algore's backside... INMO, I would prefer this one over what comes out of his mouth because his mouth wash ain't makin' it!

My god, melancholy: it is too horrible to even contemplate a "relentless blast of charged particles" from Al Gore's ass.

Nova should do a special on that....

So, Al, if Earth is in such a state of crisis, how come you and your buddy Bill didn't do anything to get Kyoto ratified when you were in office? You had the power to save the Earth, but yet you did nothing. Why?????

You gotta be dashing! LOL

Imagine the energy that you can harness from Gorey's ass. You burn the Methane for fuel. Oh sh!t, I forgot, what about the carbon dioxide produced? AAAAAAAAAAH (screaming uncontrollably) Global warming alert!!!

Well how 'bout using the particle velocity to drive a wind mill? OOOOOOOOOOOOPS! Martha's Vinyard'al warming! Fatso, Teddy the swimmer, will screw Al Whore many times over!

What the hell do we do now? Ahaaaaa, I got it, no waste of energy, a bypass from Gorey's ass to his mouth so nothing escapes in the atmosphere and no design penalty because both are compatible sh!t holes!

When the Al Gore types were little kids, their Mommies read them the story of "Chicken Little." Latter, they grew up to be big boys and girls, and often they would wake up from their drug induced nightmare about the world coming to an end. The lawyer types among them remembered their childhood bed time stories. They realized that they could make easy money exploiting people's nightmares by turning into Chicken Littles themselves.

I have a different reaction to the Chicken Little story. It starts with name "chicken." A "chicken" is one who is afraid to fight. In this case, I use the name "chicken" for those who uses fear to exploit people. To these people I give the name Chicken $hit.

Clearly, we are doomed.

Between the (1) Global warming emergency, (2) the demagnetization and the resulting relentless bombardment with charged particles from space, (3) the inevitable "supervolcano" explosion that will usher in a new ice age, (4) the comet or meteor strike that will wipe out all life, our days are numbered.

Maybe Slick Willie had it right after all: we should just party while we await the end. You know, kind of like how they struck up the band on the deck of the Titanic while it was pointing downward at a 45 degree angle.

I like that. The money angle.

I have to assume the Dick Cheney and Halliburton have some financial interest in seeing the earth become demagnetized.

Gore's answer to greenhouse CO2: The more carbon you can lock into the biomass through massive body size, the more you can help prevent global warming.

If the earth decides to have global cooling, all that blubber can act as insulation from the cold. The best of both worlds.
