Al Gore's Climate Change and Get-Rich Scam

When people ignore or don't understand science, history, economics, mathematics, or human nature, politicians and other grifters (eg, environmentalists) can sell 'em anything -- including global warming. When a few people start to catch on to the scam, the politicians and other grifters fool 'em again by simply changing the name to something like global cooling or climate change. Fortunately for the politicians and grifters, at least half the people never catch on to the game.

Everyone's favorite buffoon and sourpuss, Al Gore, starred in his own dramatic home movie entitled "Inconvenient Truth." Perhaps it would better be entitled "Invented Truth."

Gore has long contended that modern inventions of mankind are responsible for the imminent destruction of our globe. He is particularly fond of "global warming." (Remember that just a couple of decades ago, the same human activity was allegedly causing global cooling.)

Over the past 30-40 years, industry in the western world has made unimaginable progress in reversing pollution -- a feat which Gore and his "scientists" seem unaware of. Our water, sky, and soil are cleaner than they have been for more than a hundred years.

Gore and his "scientists" need to take an honest look at the science of climatology. In doing so, he will learn that throughout millions of years of geological history, the climate has made untold numbers of quite dramatic shifts in climate. I seem to recall, from my grade school days back in the 50s, that much of North America was covered with up to 4,000 feet of ice and that most the lakes of Canada and northern US (including the Great Lakes) are a product of the last Ice Age (Were the many ice ages man-caused too?). The fact that Blowhard-in-Chief and Commander of Hot Air, Al Gore, was sleeping through that part of his grade-school geography class cannot change the fact that Earth's climate has always varied from ice ages to pole-to-pole warmth. In fact, just a few thousand years ago, Seattle was buried under thousands of feet of ice! Yes, global warming really does happen -- but it wasn't the internal combustion engine in my Ford Bronco that melted the ice that buried Seattle. I wonder if fear-mongering Gore and his "scientists" are aware that Earth was warmer during the Viking era (1000 years ago) than it is today.

Gore's presumption that man is even capable of significantly affecting Earth's climate is the epitome of arrogance delusions of grandeur when one compares our effect to that of the sun. Consider the effect that just one day of heating by the sun has on Earth. Just a few minutes in the sun on a July afternoon in Las Vegas or an hour in the dark on a January afternoon in Barrow lets one know that that's a mighty powerful ball of fire up there.

Our current warming cycle can best be explained, both logically and scientifically, by our relationship to the sun and the sun's own cycles. As Gore's "scientists" must surely know, the sun has dramatic variations in its sunspot cycle resulting in a brighter, hotter sun at times and a cooler sun at others. Perhaps Gore's "scientists" would like to blame that phenomenon on the internal combustion engine, too. Add to that Earth's precession and variations in our distance to from the sun and one has a much more valid explanation for climatological variations than the exhaust from my lawn mower.

Having no desire to live in my own filth or that of others, I naturally oppose any unnecessary pollution of our soil, air and water (even including the mucus and cigarette butts cads spit onto the streets and sidewalks). I abhor pollution (such as the 130+ tons of trash left behind at Obama's inaugural by his adoring worshipers) as much as anyone. But, to presume that man is more powerful in affecting weather or climate (no, they aren't the same thing) than ol' Mr. Sun and variations in Earth's orbit is the epitome of conceit and manifests profound ignorance of basic science.

What Gore apparently really wants is self-enrichment through the total dismantling of US industry and a return to the stone age. (Even the bronze and iron ages would surely be unacceptable to Gore, since such manufacturing requires the use of fire.) To abandon the technical advances of modern society to calm Gore's paranoid fears is irresponsible, unacceptable, unwise, and unscientific.

But, perhaps more importantly, Gore and his co-conspirators in this fraud have turned common and natural CO2 into a commodity to be traded by the elite while impoverishing us commoners. Gore is a snake-oil salesman who is making millions of dollars through his carbon credit company and stands to become one of the wealthiest men in history through his climate-change scam. "Cap and Trade" is nothing more than a tax on progress and, since all animals exhale CO2, even a tax on breathing!

How will the United States will look once nature's cyclical global cooling kicks in and no one will be able to afford to heat their homes because of carbon taxes introduced to prevent global warming?

Al Gore, please go away!

Congress and newsmen, please get out of his bed!
