Gore Warns Global Warming Will Bring Civilization to a ‘Screeching Halt’ Thursday, January 29, 2009 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) – Former Vice President Al Gore told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday that if action is not taken by the United States to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the world as we know it could disappear.
“If we stop global greenhouse gas emissions today, according to some scientists, we will see an increase in temperatures that many scientists believe would be extremely challenging for civilization,” Gore testified on Capitol Hill. “If we continue at today’s levels, some scientists have said it can be an increase (in global temperature) of up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit.
“This would bring a screeching halt to human civilization and threaten the fiber of life everywhere on the earth,” Gore said. “And this is within the century, if we don’t change.”
Using a power point presentation, Gore showed charts and graphs that, he said, reveal how global warming is causing glaciers to melt around the world, depleting water supplies. He also said rising temperatures already are responsible for natural disasters in the United States, including forest fires, drought, and insect infestations that are killing trees.

Well, he’s certainly got the “screeching” part down. Cap & Trade should take care of the “halt”.
Anyone seen a pic of him lately....is he still ballooning up? He looked like a heart attack waiting to happen last picture I saw...
Hey, hey, hey, Fat Albert, your many trips to the fridge should come to a schreeching halt. Find another way to try and make yourself relevant, Al, this one ain’t workin!
The odds of the USA going bankrupt from socialism by the year 2100 are a near certainly, as are the odds of Al Gore being a humorous footnote in history.
This never used to bother me. Owlgore is a fool. What really bothered me is that that he won the Nobel Peace Prize over Irena Sendler. The women that put her life at risk day after day for years, helping to save 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War.
If there’s any justice here, it’s that she won’t have her name associated with other “winners” like Carter and Arafat.
Its a mystery to me why this man has any credibility with anyone. Thank G-d he never became President.
So civilization comes to a screeching halt...
I’m not seeing the downside.
“will bring civilization to a screeching halt”
I thought “O” was doing pretty well in that department...
We gotta stop this train!
Because if "civilization fails" it is weak fools like him and his ilk that will be among the first to die. They have no survival skills. His money will mean nothing, his bodyguards and servants will desert him, his limousines and jets will be little more then rusting useless lumps of metal without fuel and parts, his gold and other precious metals will be taken from him if he can not defend them.
He and his family will not know how to survive without all that civilization provides. Yup, I can see ol' Al out there ripping up his manicured lawns at his mansion trying to grow food, chopping down his trees for firewood and trying to defend his family, property and crops with a gun.
“And this is within the century, if we don’t change.”
I thought it was in 10 years..screeching halt. According to Rush’s doomsday clock, there’s only 6 years 9 mos and 4 days until..screeching halt.
Huh? Glaciers melt into water and that depletes water supplies?
I look forward to the day we can try him for crimes against humanity and for trying to create the biggest global ponzi scheme in history.
