RUSH: Try this one from yesterday's stack. I don't know if you people know this or not, but Al Gore has been out at the Sundance Film Festival out there in Park City, Utah. This is one of Robert Redford's big do's, and apparently Al Gore is working on a movie that -- what is the name of this movie? Oh, that's right, "An Inconvenient Truth," and the movie will document his efforts to raise alarm on the effects of global warming, and so he brought Tipper and the kids out there.
He's attending parties and posing for pictures with his fans. He's enjoying macaroni and cheese at the Discovery Channel's soir?e. He's palling around with Laurie David of Curb Your Enthusiasm, who is the husband of Larry David, who drives the Prius and then flies the GV. Larry David says, "You know, Al is a funny guy, but he's also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan."
Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about "ten years" it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.

Heh. The “tipping point” seems to be a mirage. Keeps disappearing right before we get there, and reappearing in the distance.

Speaking of tipping, whatever happened to Tipper?
Algore and Prince Charles should get a room. And leave the rest of us to live our lives in peace.
I thought Tipper had left already.
Gee, and it was only 35 years ago that we had 16 years until the tipping point for the coming Ice Age.
An excellent study came out this week linking global warming to CFCs - and the cooling we’re seeing now is directly linked to the CFC ban a decade ago.
“The Earth has only 16 years left of emitting greenhouse gases until we reach a tipping point. That’s not 16 years left to begin approaching the issue, that’s 16 years left to stop emitting greenhouse gases altogether.”
Even if there were no humans on earth, “greenhouse gasses” would continue to be “emitted” naturally. So, there’s no hope. The planet is doomed. We’re all walking dead.
Therefore, since we’re all going to die within the next 2 decades, I propose we change a few things to accommodate the “new reality”.
First, through a national special election, everyone must choose one of three answers to a single question on the ballot. The question asks whether you believe in man-caused global climate change and elicits a “yes”, a “no” or a “I don’t know”, and separates everyone into one of three groups:
Group One is comprised of people who believe the catastrophe nonsense and are called The Alarmists.
Group Two members answered “no” to the question and are called The Adults.
Group Three is populated with folks who don’t have a clue and are called “The Gullibles”. They can join either group (as long as they continue to agree to believe anything they are told), or can do nothing and hope for change.
Based on the numbers involved, the country is divided into 3 geographical areas and Group Two take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution as envisioned by the original founders. Since the vast majority of the people in this Group own firearms or uphold the right to bear arms, they will naturally decide which part of the country they want to inhabit.
The other two groups can make up their own constitution, or whatever, but they cannot enter the territory of Group Two without permission. (This should not upset them too much since they believe they are going to live for only 16 more years anyway).
Now, if the Alarmists or Gullibles don’t like the new setup, the members of Group Two will agree to allow them to move to any other countries of the world who will have them.
Algore doesn’t even know where Earth is.
