Al Gore in front of Congress on Global Warming
Permalink  

That all Gore's a funny guy.  Just check out the quote from his speach to congress:

"The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don’t say, 'Well, I read a science fiction novel that tells me it’s not a problem,'" Gore told House lawmakers. "If the crib’s on fire, you don’t speculate that the baby is flame retardant. You take action."

That's gotta be one of the funniest things I've ever read.  If I had been in congress I would have told Al Gore that since the planet has a fever, the only prescription is more cowbell!

Like I said in another thread, if he really thought global warming was that urgent, he'd cut back severely on his energy usage. Energy credits shmenergy credits. If you were truly worried, you would pay the energy credits and use less energy. Wouldn't that result in less pollution than just paying energy credits?
Al Gore is a hypocrite.

If the fever gets high enough it should kill off the parasites causing it... so no worries!

Fortunately for the little parasites in my house, we have air conditioning!

Of course, as we all know, global warming is Lex Luthor's new plan to create beach front property out of desert after Superman ruined the whole earthquake thing.

Those Luthors are bad folks. I can't believe Lana married Lex just to protect Clark's secret. I was very dissapointed last thursday as a result!!!!!!

Gore has invested astutely in technologies and industries that stand to make huge profits from greenhouse gas legislation.  If the legislation makes it through like he wants it to, he'll be rapidly climbing the Forbes 100.

And here I thought one of aims of scientific inquiry was disinterested research.  Gore has more vested interest in this issue than probably anyone on the planet.

Something about the love of money comes to mind...

  If only...  Somehow I just can't seem to justify it for my 2 programs that I watch...

I have thought about just getting a digital recorder though...  About $80 once, no subscription...  Is there a downside to this?
