A schoolkid in Ontario was complaining the other day that, whatever subject you do, you have to sit through Gore's movie: It turns up in biology class, in geography, in physics, in history, in English.

It's a pancea for liberal teachers who want to seat the children in front of the boob tube for an hour and get paid for it.

Whatever you're studying, it's all you need to know. It fulfils the same role in the schoolhouses of the guilt-ridden developed world that the Koran does in Pakistani madrassas.

A most appropriate comparison!

Sooooooooo true. Dogmatic freethinker, heal thyself.

I love Steyn! He should replace Hannity on H&C. Every time he’s on there, he reduces colmes to a stammering lump.

Today the Seattle Times ran an editorial applauding Gore's Nobel Prize. It was one of the most moronic editorials I've ever seen on any topic. It praises Gore for his "lonely stand," for "challenging conventional wisdom," and for "taking on" corporate interests.

In fact, Gore is one of the main purveyors of conventional wisdom, and his "lonely stand" is supported by about 98% of the news and entertainment media. As for "taking on" powerful corporate interests, he has done no such thing. Flapping your yapper is easy; anyone can do it.

As for the 9 major factual "errors" in "An Inconvenient Truth," the Times gives Gore a pass. As far as the Times is concerned, Gore can lie all he wants. It is because of editorials like this that I'll never again subscribe to the Times.

Wal-Mart has a bundle of enviro booklets in the employees breakroom. There's some good common sense Green hints but in one section they treat Gore's film as Holy Writ and advise everyone to watch it.

Love Steyn and his inventive neologisms.

I assumed Gore's clammy embrace would do for the environmental movement what his belated endorsement had done for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential candidacy: kill it stone dead. But governor Dean was constrained by actual humdrum prosaic vote tallies...

Steyn slays again.

The average US household consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours of electricity. In 2006, the Gores wolfed down nearly 221,000kWh.

It takes lots of energy to be an eco-saint.

Fox has been hammerin’ this point everywhere. But... how much carbon is there when one fat headed ex vice president travels to the Oscars, and then to pick up his Nobel prize?

Answer: By his statistics - too much. Hah!
