Last night, Al Gore preached to the choir. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, droughts are dragging on, floods are getting stronger and today alone, an additional 170 million tons of carbon dioxide has been dumped into the Earth's atmosphere, he told a crowd of believers at Value City Arena.

"The planet has a fever," he said. It needs to be saved, to be fixed immediately.

"This is our home. We don't have another planet to go to. Don't let anybody tell you we're going to get on rocket ships and go to a new planet. We couldn't even evacuate New Orleans."

Meanwhile, Al Gore's Climate Solutions Fund has closed with $683 million to invest in early-stage green companies. For a guy who ran as a socialist he's quite the capitalist.

"The planet has a fever," he said.

And the prescription is...

MORE COWBELL!!!

[Maceman]

Yeah — guick — before the public catches on that there is no scientific consensus regarding global warming, that the debate ain’t over, and that the global warming models are collapsing faster than Obama’s reputation.

[Loud Mime]

We don't have another planet to go to...

Some planet rejceted Gore in favor of a better lifeform. I recommend we find that planet in a hurry.

[ejonesie22]

I am ignoring Al Gore as quickly as I can....

If you were one of his Clinton Administration buddies, you could invest in Generation Investment Management http://www.generationim.com/about/team.html

Real capitalists provide value in exchange for the money they receive. Gore ain't no capitalist, just a con man. Hope he loses his shirt.

[dr.zaeus]

Better yet...

Quick, so that when disaster doesn’t strike, I can take credit for acting so quickly and averting the disaster that was never going to happen in the first place.

[fightinJAG]

Gore calls for quick action on warming?

Yeah.

Gore: Quick! Do something about warming before it stops warming!

[Izzy Dunne]

We couldn't even evacuate New Orleans."

Another lie from the Goracle.

Was there anyone in NOLA who wanted out and who didn't get out?

Over the age of 12, I mean.

[vpintheak]

I give Algore an “F” for effort.

[11th Commandment]

If Bernie Goldberg reprinted his book- "100 people that are screwing up America", I wonder if Algore would move up the list:

18. Al Gore (Vice-president 1992-2000) Al Gore is as unprincipled and pandering a Democrat politician as any. He spoke passionately about how his sister died from smoking, but a few years before that he was throwing praise on tobacco. Also, when asked if it would be okay to execute a pregnant woman, he didn't give a straight answer, showing how he tries too hard to appease his pro-abortion constituency. He is now a loud and scary Bush-hater.

We couldn't even evacuate New Orleans

Wrong, we couldn't get the idiots in NO to leave. You cannot protect people from themselves.

[BOBTHENAILER]

The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate,the last winter was the coldest in history,wiping out my bogus data on warming droughts are dragging on so why the hell are floods are getting stronger and today alone, an additional 170 million tons of carbon dioxide has been dumped into the Earth's atmosphere, by a volcano in Chile so PLEASE, OH PLEASE, drink more of my kool-aid before everbody realizes I'm A FRIGGIN' snake oil salesman.

There, I kinda fixed the headline grabber for ya.

[workerbee]

Don't let anybody tell you we're going to get on rocket ships and go to a new planet.

Okey-dokey, Al, thanks for the tip!

He said this, by way of introduction: "I am Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States of America."

It's 2008, for heaven's sake. Is this one still getting laughs?

[bobjam]

Of course Gore wants quick action...he wants his radical agenda implemented before too many people discover global warming is a hoax...

[Catholic Canadian]

Don't let anybody tell you we're going to get on rocket ships and go to a new planet. We couldn't even evacuate New Orleans.

WTH? He didn't actually say this, did he?

[boomop1]

WTF is quick action, leave?

[Enchante]

"We couldn't even evacuate New Orleans"

STFU, Albore! "We" were not responsible for evacuating NOLA. The large majority of residents there displayed the minimum level of common sense and judgment to evacuate themselves!! The rest, mired in the swamps of welfarist ignorance, laziness, and depravity, sat still helplessly and waited for Big Brother to come help them. The story of Katrina still is not properly told, as one of widespread sensible individual iniatives that saved most from harm, coupled with a sizable minority that acted precisely as bloated welfare state Demagogues are supposed to act, i.e., as reckless and useless parasites.

[Always Right]

Yeah Al, you better hurry before the cooling period officially begins.
