Al Gore steals the show at Netroots

By Lilly Rockwell | Saturday, July 19, 2008, 11:01 AM

Former Vice President Al Gore stole the show from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s fireside policy chat at the Netroots Nation conference in Austin on Saturday.

Pelosi spent 45 minutes talking about abortion rights, efforts to bring the troops back from Iraq and why she didn’t think the Senate version of the FISA bill was appropriate. Some questions seemed to take her off guard, such as when one audience member asked about care packages being sent to troops, and if Congress should pass a bill to provide basic hygiene supplies to them.

Pelosi received a lot of applause for saying she supports net neutrality and the expansion of broadband into rural areas.

But when Gore took the stage, the crowd went wild, standing and cheering enthusiastically for the global warming champion. Gore came across more folksy and charming than he is remembered for being during his campaign for presidency.

Rush has a Al Gore doomsday countdown clock on his site.

The thing is, Al started saying this in 2006, so we only have seven years left.

I remember he came off as arrogant and condescending during the presidential campaign.

“It would be healthier for the planet if we consumed less meat,” Gore said. “I will plead guilty to the idea that we can only do so much at once. I myself am a meat eater and perhaps that has had an impact on my definition of the problem.”

The bloviated one must suffer from bovilexia.

According to the UN, the time was up in the year 2000.

“Gore said the North Polar ice cap is at risk of melting completely during the summer months, which could have devastating effects on our climate.”

but not this year.

“Arctic ice has actually increased by nearly a half million square miles over this time last year.”

Crazier than ever, in other words.

Gore stopped off to address the adoring multitudes en route to be fitted for several new suits -- at OMAR THE TENTMAKER.

And since he's become so good at stealing money from the world with his scam, stealing a show is child's play.

And his form of dementia is caused by overdosing on one's own ego.

50000 Physicist Disbelieve Man-Made Global Warming

http://www.dailytech.com/Myth+of+Consensus+Explodes+APS+Opens+Global+Warming+Debate/article12403.htm

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming “incontrovertible.”

I hate to spoil the party but this is a false story. The APS has not changed its position on AGW.
www.aps.org to read their statement.
