Security Guard to Al, "Watch out you are going to slip on that Ice and snow!

ManBearPig, more proof of Global Warming

[cripplecreek]

Hey Al, what's that white stuff on the ground over there?

[Farmer Dean]

Shake hands with the Devil.

[Lizavetta]

How does Gore benefit/profit/make out like a bandit on this global warming charade that he's so gung ho for?

I don't believe he believes it......not for a minute. If he believed it he wouldn't drive what he drives, fly what he flies, live in the number of houses he lives in.

So what's he getting out of pushing the global warming BS? Has someone dug into this and figured it out? Does he have stock in combustion engine refurbishing companies or what?

[unkus]

Algore to lady: "I'm not cold. I don't need no damned gloves".

[MistrX]

I'm on my way to my private jet.

[AmericanMade1776]

Once inside the Taco Bell Arena.... Al Gore was heard saying, "I am as shocked as you are that there is snow on the ground!"

[geopyg]

No caption, but an observation. Its probably below freezing at that time of night. The woman is wearing a warm coat and gloves. Gore and his henchmen are just wearing suits.

I believe that this global warming thing is because Gore and his fellow creatures are used to much colder temperatures from whatever their planet is.

[nascarnation]

the Taco Bell arena
Al knows all about the sponsor, LOL

[Jaysun]

He believes, as most leftist do, that capitalism is bad and that America in particular is the source of the world's problems. Global warming is the vehicle they want to use to halt America's growth and power.

[Will_Zurmacht]

I disagree...he believes but he is above it.

Hypocrites are like that.

[They'reGone2000]

Can I show you my carbon footprint?

[AmericanMade1776]

Pew Center on Global Climate Change President Eileen Claussen or is it Al Gore leading a double life.

[BigFinn]

That must have been some speech... global warming when it's snowing outside.

Caption: "Did you know that global warming is caused by cow gas?" "Did you know that global warming is caused by hanging chads?' "Did you know that snow in Boise is caused by french fried potatoes?" "Oh, and by the way did you know I invented the Internet?"

[nctexan]

Gosh folks, I really like your speakers. They sound great... I really mean it.

[new yorker 77]

"Hi. I'm Al Gore. I hate President Bush and I agree with Osama Bin Laden that Iraq is a failure. I would also like to personally thank every Conservative who did not vote in 2006. Without your apathy, amnesty for illegals and certain failure in the War on Terror could not have been possible. Thank you all."

[groanup]

Don't tell me this guy isn't running for president. He would like nothing more than to spoil Hitlary's party.

[ottersnot]

Al Gore, Taco Bell and Green house gases.
No caption necessary.

[NRA2BFree]

Hey Al, what's that white stuff on the ground over there?

LOL! No kidding! Too bad he didn't slip and fall on his butt in front of the cameras. Maybe then he would have known what it was. ;o)

[albee]

Shades of John Kerry!

Algore to the crowd; "Uh...can I get me a hunting license here?"

[AmericanMade1776]

I think Al is going to jump in, he has all the signs of it. Just like Hillary!

[PissAndVinegar]

Hey - he's down to only 2 chins! That slimfast diet must be working!

[groanup]

The man who would be elected by lawyers.

[mountn man]

Another Clinton/Gore ticket??????????

[groanup]

Al Gore, Taco Bell and Green house gases. =

Global warming.

[fuzzthatwuz]

Billy Jeff sneezed!

[JerseyJohn61]

Believe me folks, this snow's a fluke. And once your soil
temperature rises above 70 degrees, your little Russet
spuds will stop forming in the ground, and then you'll
be finished. It'll be the end of McDonald's French Fries
too....JJ61

Gore knocks global warming in Boise: Current temp. 31°, feels like 25°

Gore does it again. There's no fool like an old fool.

[uglybiker]

All that global warming is helping to sweat the pounds off.

[Charles Henrickson]

WHY IT'S GETTING WARM
Tune: "Riders on the Storm"

Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm
Is it hotter than the norm
Or just turning back to form
Gore would sound the warning horn
And make cars that run on corn
Why it's getting warm

There's an inconsistent flaw
In his scientific law
There's not one single cause
For why an iceberg thaws
The conclusion that he draws
Is giving us guffaws
An inconsistent flaw

Gore, you incoherent goof
Gore, you incoherent goof
It doesn't take a sleuth
To see your lack of proof
Here's an inconvenient truth
It's still freezing in Duluth
You incoherent goof

Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm
Is it hotter than the norm
Or just turning back to form
Gore would sound the warning horn
And make cars that run on corn
Why it's getting warm

Why it's getting warm
Why it's getting warm . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

That's why he went to Boise. He thought he was going to visit his lawyer.

[sayfer bullets]

All your 'taters are belong to us...

Boise: Current temp. 31°, feels like 25°

Boise will be Boise.

[TruthWillWin]

You want lettuce on your taco Al?

[thiscouldbemoreconfusing]

Why yes, I have gained a pound or two, but have you seen hillary? You could distract her.

[Revolting cat!]

in Boise: Current temp. 31°, feels like 25°

A hundred years ago today it was 30° and it felt like 24°. So, there's your proof , sceptic!

He is only doing this to remain relevent. If I hear he was the next president of the united states I am going to puke.

[mickie]

I was just thinking that if anyone in the DNC could beat Mrs. clintoon it would be AG. He was vice president for eight years.

But I suppose she has his FBI folders siting right on her desk.

Well, only thing worse would be his two Dem opponents Hill/Bama............

Just had a scary thought, while pondering that question. Al Gore was born in 1948, so he will be 60 in '08. He knows Hillary as well as most people can and knows that '08 is her opportunity. What if she loses? Al will be 64 in 2012.

He is endearing himself to the young and impressionable left. He may be staking out long term plans.

TO THE RESCUE: Will Al Gore Melt? by Flemming Rose and Bjorn Lomborg (Viking Rescuer)


...One can only speculate. But if we are to follow Mr. Gore's suggestions of radically changing our way of life, the costs are not trivial. If we slowly change our greenhouse gas emissions over the coming century, the U.N. actually estimates that we will live in a warmer but immensely richer world. However, the U.N. Climate Panel suggests that if we follow Al Gore's path down toward an environmentally obsessed society, it will have big consequences for the world, not least its poor. In the year 2100, Mr. Gore will have left the average person 30% poorer, and thus less able to handle many of the problems we will face, climate change or no climate change.

Clearly we need to ask hard questions. Is Mr. Gore's world a worthwhile sacrifice? But it seems that critical questions are out of the question. It would have been great to ask him why he only talks about a sea-level rise of 20 feet. In his movie he shows scary sequences of 20-feet flooding Florida, San Francisco, New York, Holland, Calcutta, Beijing and Shanghai. But were realistic levels not dramatic enough? The U.N. climate panel expects only a foot of sea-level rise over this century. Moreover, sea levels actually climbed that much over the past 150 years. Does Mr. Gore find it balanced to exaggerate the best scientific knowledge available by a factor of 20?

Mr. Gore says that global warming will increase malaria and highlights Nairobi as his key case. According to him, Nairobi was founded right where it was too cold for malaria to occur. However, with global warming advancing, he tells us that malaria is now appearing in the city. Yet this is quite contrary to the World Health Organization's finding. Today Nairobi is considered free of malaria, but in the 1920s and '30s, when temperatures were lower than today, malaria epidemics occurred regularly. Mr. Gore's is a convenient story, but isn't it against the facts?

He considers Antarctica the canary in the mine, but again doesn't tell the full story. He presents pictures from the 2% of Antarctica that is dramatically warming and ignores the 98% that has largely cooled over the past 35 years. The U.N. panel estimates that Antarctica will actually increase its snow mass this century. Similarly, Mr. Gore points to shrinking sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere, but don't mention that sea ice in the Southern Hemisphere is increasing. Shouldn't we hear those facts? Mr. Gore talks about how the higher temperatures of global warming kill people. He specifically mentions how the European heat wave of 2003 killed 35,000. But he entirely leaves out how global warming also means less cold and saves lives. Moreover, the avoided cold deaths far outweigh the number of heat deaths. For the U.K. it is estimated that 2,000 more will die from global warming. But at the same time 20,000 fewer will die of cold. Why does Mr. Gore tell only one side of the story?

Al Gore is on a mission. If he has his way, we could end up choosing a future, based on dubious claims, that could cost us, according to a U.N. estimate, $553 trillion over this century. Getting answers to hard questions is not an unreasonable expectation before we take his project seriously. It is crucial that we make the right decisions posed by the challenge of global warming. These are best achieved through open debate, and we invite him to take the time to answer our questions: We are ready to interview you any time, Mr. Gore -- and anywhere.

WRT to the theory of human-caused global warming, maybe we should adopt the same type of response that young teenager boys took 50 to 100 years ago when warned about the dangers of masturbation:

"Can I just keep doing it until I need glasses?"

[george76]

[JENINMO]

It keeps him in front of the cameras, which has been his wish all along.

Couldn't do it as PREZ, so he'll be a "prophet" instead.

I only wish Al Gore was stranded in a blizzard for a few days.

[potlatch]

LOL, perfect opening for me - as you knew!!

Thanks for the skiers !
