"We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer,"

Perhaps someone needs to tell Mr Non-Scientist that CO2 is not a pollutant.

[Thermalseeker]

We can tell by his actions that even he doesn’t believe what he says because if he did, he would be changing his lifestyle and he’s not.

Spot on.

If he believed his own tripe he'd also be willing to debate any and all comers. So far, he's refused. My guess is 'ole Owlgore knows that a typical high school debate team member could wipe the floor with his arguments......

[6SJ7]

Cleaning up the planet? Hey Al; how about starting with cleaning up your office!

[God luvs America]

this is the contingency plan as the Live Earth concerts turned into Dead Weight....

[pissant]

The big meltdown. LOL

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

...vibrates with passion about this issue...

Like in a bowl full of Jello? Wadda jerk !!!!

More like one of those toys they sell in the 4" by 2" ads in Hustler Magazine. (My priest told me about them during sermon last Sunday. ... How did he know?)

[doc30]

Probably some in China, but we know what *they* do to people blocking the streets.

Gravel street do need something to keep the dust down in the dry weather.

[MEGoody]

I ran into Al Gore at a climate/energy conference this month, and he vibrates with passion about this issue

Sure he does. All us serfs should cut our energy usage so there's more for Al Gore and his fellow elites.

[PeterPrinciple]

“We are now treating the Earth’s atmosphere as an open sewer,” he said, and (perhaps because my teenage son was beside me) he encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carbon sources.

—
Shouldn’t the young son be in jail for drug charges?

[G Larry]

“Al Gore calls for civil disobedience”

Hmmm....I’ll just tell the judge that my protests at abortion clinics are in the spirit of Al Gore’s call for “civil disobedence”.

Thus, my punishment shouldn’t be any greater than that imposed on his disciples.

[CaptRon]

The cult of Al (promoted by, well, Al) grows. When he starts speaking like this it harkens back to other megalomaniacs throughout history.

[The Great RJ]

A good start would be to cut the electric lines to Al Gore’s house.

[mort56]

To All: Just be grateful, very grateful, that this Bozo did not become our President. Just imagine what four years of this fool would have brought us.

[Armedanddangerous]

I don’t know of any being built in the US...I know a little bit about the industry and get some of the magazines, and I bet I would have heard about it.

I thought they were trying to get permits to build one in kentucky but it was stalled by environazis.

[Wil H]

Let’s not allow Algore to buy carbon credits.

He doesn't buy them, he SELLS them.

When he "buys" them, he's just investing in his own company and probably getting a tax break on it in the process.

Al Gore is running a HUGE financial scam at our expense.

[Wil H]

Just curious - how many coal-fired power plants are actually under construction right now for his minions to block?

Plenty..

But they are all in China..

Al Gore calls for civil disobedience to shut down US carbon sources

I wonder how he would react if someone staged a sit in in front of his private jet?

[Xenalyte]

"I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers," Mr. Gore said

Perhaps because some of them are aware of the Rachel Corrie Effect?

[philled]

"Every week to 10 days, another coal-fired power plant opens somewhere in China that is big enough to serve all the households in Dallas or San Diego" from The New York Times

ManBearPig is a genius! I always suspected he was working for the Chinese government. Now, he's found a solution to the bad PR associated with China's population control campaigns. His plan is to use the surplus PRC youth stop the bulldozers that are building coal-fired powerplants and feel good about saving the earth! How long until "Rachel" becomes a common Chinese name?

[Right Wing Assault]

"I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers," Mr. Gore said

Hey, big Al, why don't YOU lay down in front of some bulldozers? No, you want to get the young skulls full of mush to do your dirty work for you and get arrested or killed. Just like the muslim terrorists. Great minds think alike.
