Gore to U.S., China: Fix climate or else

OSLO, Norway (AP) -- Al Gore received his Nobel Peace Prize on Monday and urged the United States and China to make the boldest moves on climate change or "stand accountable before history for their failure to act."

In accepting the prize he shared with the U.N. climate panel, the former vice president said humanity risks sliding down a path of "mutually assured destruction."

[wbill]

....which leads me to the comment "Or else what?".

It just wouldn't be a Monday without a pronouncement from the Goreacle.

[ConorMacNessa]

Bush’s fault!

[beethovenfan]

Gore is a fool, as will become evident to everyone in due time.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“stand accountable before history for their failure to act.”
.....AlGore decends from the mount....

[GBA]

Or else it will fix itself. They only have a few more years to milk this crisis for as much money, prestige and fame as they can before they cycle changes and the “crisis” is over.

[rightinthemiddle]

I used to be amazed by the gullibility and arrogance of the “climate changes” nuts.

Now, I’m getting angry.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Gore urged China and the U.S. -- the world's biggest carbon emitters -- to "make the boldest moves, or stand accountable before history for their failure to act."

No word yet from Gore's Mercedes luggage-handling system.

[wastedyears]

Or else what?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

[edcoil]

“Or else it will fix itself.”

You assume there is a problem that needs to be fixed.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

He’ll run for president again.

[TRY ONE]

God Almighty is shaking in His boots waiting for man to fix this!

....don’t think so!

Gore Warns: Fix climate or else

I just can't believe that the world has come to this:

Modern day shamans, ignorant, hungry for power and endorsed by once-prestigious groups like the Nobel.

By the way, "or else what?"

[tired1]

Gore is a fool, as will become evident to everyone in due time.

dont count on it.

[Lizavetta]

[gondramB]

Since I can positive global warming is a real and a real (but slow) problem. I despise Al Gore probably even more than those who think GW is not real.

What Gore has done is to short circuit a bi-partisan concern and make into a political football.

Ronald Reagan had the right approach when he recognized the seas were rising. Study - don’t blame the Democrats and see if there is anything we can do with stupid things like collapsing the economy off the table.

[Rummyfan]

In accepting the prize he shared with the U.N. climate panel, the former vice president said humanity risks sliding down a path of "mutually assured destruction."

Like Al Gore sliding down his path toward madness? On second thought he's not mad as he has become a multi-multi-millionaire over the last few years. He's simply a snake-oil saleman!

[businessprofessor]

He is more than a fool. He is a dangerous demagogue trying to ruin our economy.

[weegee]

He played on our fears.

Just as he did when he and his wife “burned” records and threw people under the bus with their government hearings into the obscenity of youth music in the 1980s. It put Gore on the national stage and gave him a shot at the 1988 Presidential nomination, which in turn got him the VP nod in 1992 and again in 1996.

This man seeks power his daddy promised him. He preaches fire and brimstone to get it.

[rightinthemiddle]

The problem is, we don’t have any common sense politicians out there at least questioning the whole premise of global warming. It’s not “PC.”

It’s become a part of the culture war.

[tx_eggman]

When I see Al "asshat" Gore riding a bicycle everywhere he goes, maybe I'll listen. Until then, he just needs to STFU.

[Kerretarded]

I just see this man and laugh. Him and that lisp. “Thith Gorebull Warming thing has got to be fixthed.”

[wbill]

Bush’s Fault at #2. Impressive.

[wbill]

I feel like I'm in good company. So many people asking "Or Else What?".

It's good to be a member of the VWRC.

[eleni121]

Or else??...how about back to global cooling!

[tx_eggman]

I despise Al Gore probably even more than those who think GW is not real.

Climate change is real, the science bears that out. What isn't real is that it's caused by human activity or that throwing money at it will alter it.

[Kerretarded]

I just can't believe that the world has come to this:

National Propanganda campaigns have evolved into World-wide Propaganda campaigns. Dr. Goebbels would be so proud.

[cinives]

We are cooler now than we were in the Medieval Warming period, and that was a time of increasing prosperity, expanding population, and increases of everyone’s standard of living.

What’s not to like about a warmer world ?

[kellynla]

Global warming my butt...it's colder than Gettysburg out here! LOL

[wbill]

Or else??...how about back to global cooling!

Yup. In about 20-25 years or so. Then, 20-25 years after that, it'll be Global Warming. Then, 20-25 years after that, it'll be Global Cooling. Then.....

Libs are so predictable.

[smoketree]

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weegee]

The question isn’t whether “Global Warming” is real.

Previously the same crowd warned of “Global Cooling”.

Now they play it safe and call it “Global Climate Change” covering all fluctuations up or down.

Next are the issues of:

(A) whether Man is responsible or a significant factor in the climate change that has already happened

(B) whether Man is capable of significantly altering the climate (e.g. we aren’t to blame but need to change it anyway to compensate for naturally occuring fluctuations)

(C) whether the offered solutions (mercury laden fluourescent bulbs, carbon offset forests, electric cars) will actually impact the climate in a positive direction and not impact the environment in a negative manner

(D) whether all nations will be targeted with equal policies (e.g. will India and China be permitted to pollute and ramp up use of fossil fuels because they are “poor”?).

[mort56]

I thank God every day this blithering cretin did not become America’s President!

[wastedyears]

LOL

Under what platform?

[weegee]

Political correctness is about criminalizing thought. You cannot dissent.

As RFK Jr. said, you are a “traitor” for denying man is to blame for global warming.

[thirst4truth]

The movie out that is made by the same poeple that made March of the Penguin, is pure, blatant propaganda. At the end while the credits roll children are telling my children watching, they better have their parents drive smaller cars, recycle, do what ever it takes to save the earth. Gore's movie is shown in tons of public schools, pure propaganda. The enviornmentalists are indoctrinating the youth with a new religion, earth worship and it is very dangerous. It goes beyond saving the trees, fish and animals, they want most humans to be gone.

I live in Oregon, they are destroying our state's ability to survive with their save the trees and fish propaganda. Our county alone has to get 50 million dollars per year from the feds just to provide basic services to our population. The only thing we are exporting any more is young people.

He’s still got his great looks, though! /S

New Study Explodes Human-Global Warming Story

[weegee]

Ronald Reagan had the right approach when he recognized the seas were rising.

Ted Danson told us in 1988 that the oceans would be dead and flooding the world within 10 years. He now claims that his exagerations were mere "hyperbole" designed to awaken the masses to the issue.

[wbill]

I thank God every day this blithering cretin did not become America’s President!

Truly, it was a near thing.

Dad and I had a discussion the other day over who would be better as pres...Gore or Hillary!. Dad's take was "Hillary"....she's completely power-mad, but at least is politically-driven enough to work with. Gore is just plain crazy - he'd have everyone living in caves while he flew around in his private jet praising everyone for being "carbon neutral".

It was a moot point, as neither Hill nor Al will get either of our votes, but I thought that it was an interesting opinion.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Green Moonbat party?

[VeniVidiVici]

"It is time to make peace with the planet," Gore said in his acceptance speech that evoked Churchill, Gandhi and the Bible. "We must quickly mobilize our civilization with the urgency and resolve that has previously been seen only when nations mobilized for war."

[Publius6961]

You know this simply reminds me that when the "environmental" movement began, the rational approach was that we as a society should start looking at ways to examine very large projects to avoid negative unexpected consequences. Very large projects being defined as those which spanned more than one state, or affected several large watersheds.

Please note that "unexpected" was the one key word, deliberately chosen.

The public, through its elected officials, could choose to ignore any and all consequences that could be identified. That right was never in question whatsoever.

Fast forward a few decades to a scenario where not only is the public totally ignorant, but also the elected officials, as well as the courts and we have come to this.

The "good intentions" has degenerated to where the cure is worse than the disease, and all impacts must be avoided, and human safety comfort and welfare wiped from the desireable goals of society, necessary conscious compromises are no longer allowed.

A new "Dark Age" has descended while we weren't looking.

Isn't that great?

[enough_idiocy]

or else a baby tax and population controls as in China....

The penguins adapted to a very odd lifestyle, going without eating for months at a time, and passing an egg from mother to father for extended periods of time.

But they survive a harsh climate. I don’t see the penguins (who are ignorant of the existance of man) trying to alter the environment and warm things up down there.

[arbooz]

"...or else people will get to keep their tax money and the albore's get-rich-quick scheme will collapse."
By comparison, Ponzi was piker.

[Hi Heels]

...he says as his private jet stands by.....

[Turbopilot]

OR ELSE:

[wbill]

Honestly, I think that young people are getting OD'ed on the environment. AlGore, etc, haven't figured out that if you tell young people that they "MUST DO" something, then they'll immediately run out and do the opposite.

If Al had paid any attention to his kid as a teenager... (obviously not, as the kid is snorting every drug in sight and getting arrested while Al jetsets around the world) ...he'd know this.
