Al Gore at SXSW: We Need to 'Punish Climate-Change Deniers' and 'Put a Price on Carbon'
Posted by richrobinson 9 years, 1 month ago to The Gulch: General
" The former vice president focused on the need to “punish climate-change deniers, saying politicians should pay a price for rejecting ‘accepted science,'” said the Chicago Tribune."
Perhaps the clown man (he makes men think more of a SYFY made movie plodding android) is also considering all the clowns who actually voted for Opinocchio twice.
I have two degrees in geology. Studies in Quaternary geology alone render the whole climate change global warming thing absurd. Talk about established science. I've seen the glacial striations on the top of Mt Washington in New Hampshire created when New England was under a mile thick continental glacier as little as 13,000 years ago. When I lived in Fallon, Nevada I was the proud owner of lake bottom property. As little as 10,000 years ago my house would have been under 400 feet of Lake Lahontan water in the Great Basin. There have been periods in the Holocene alone that were both much hotter and colder than anything seen since the big bad industrial revolution began.
This whole thing is a power grabbing scam of immense proportions. It would almost be admirable if it weren't so damn dangerous.
Scientifically the assertions of the leftist loonies are completely unscientific, pieced together by those who benefit from the alleged "solutions" and even a first year engineering student can easily poke holes in the theories. There is a lot of literature, mostly recent, from learned scientists that dismantle the warmist theories, but of course they are never reviewed or covered by the media, or even acknowledged. The "97%" claim is the most tortured and idiotic assemblage of numbers ever concocted, and still people just sheepishly accept it.
AGW is one great can game, and all one needs to do is follow the money and study the numbers..
1) 70% of the world's energy supply comes from carbon-based sources
2) 20% of the world's energy supply comes from nuclear sources
3) 7% of the world's energy supply comes from hydroelectric sources
4) Only 3% of the world's energy supply comes from geothermal, wind, solar, and tidal sources
If we honestly tried to flip this model on its head, by a vigorous program of building more "clean" energy sources, we'd have to use lots more of the supply we have the most of for production, construction, and transportation. That would mean expending even more carbon-based energy in the near term to construct the clean energy infrastructure. To restrain the use of carbon-based supply, by whatever means, automatically restrains the increase in the supply of "clean" energy.
There's no "free lunch", and all of the push to penalize carbon production is simply a ruse to bilk the dupes into putting more money in the pockets of crooks like Gore.

On the other hand.
Al Gore - man once referred to as a "crazed sex poodle" - is talking in terms of "punishment"?... not surprising.
I am a Mechanical Engineer, BSME, with 42 years of diverse experience. I understand the mechanisms by which heat is absorbed and reradiated from the Earth's surface.
I have evaluated the data and I have concluded that it is impossible to determine the actual temperature of the Earth with the degree of accuracy that they claim.
All Climate Scientists work for the government. They have created a problem in order to receive grants.
The United Nations hired this group of unethical scientists to come up with this problem.
The evil intention of the THEORY of Man-Caused Global Warming is to enable the governments ( or United Nations ) to gain control of the energy sector of our economy.
If we allow this to happen we will have lost all freedom and will be slaves to the government.

They put a price on carbon and as a I recall let the permits be sold for a profit.
Denier. number of threads per inch; in any fabric? Oh hell he's trying to say one who denys the truth about climate change - Works for me let's all punish Prince Albert Bore as a domestic terrorist. Did he ever have a real job? I think he's a few threads short of a skein.
Science is dead in America.
thought, which brings to mind Gas-Bag-Biden;
just as scary.....
I liked the person Mitt Romney but really didn't want him to win because I do not agree with his philosophies. With his management skills, drive to accomplish his goals and willingness to accept consensus all I could see is more government, just with a different slant.
"Nothing happens in government that isn't planned. It takes too much work."
I don't believe Obama is an idiot. I believe he is dangerous, narcissistic, and evil. But ignorant? No.
It's all relative to those people...they don't seem to believe in absolutes. Particularly where truth is concerned.
And that is the entire problem. EVERY situation to them is relative. The problem of course is that this is inherently a paradox. To state that "every situation is relative" is inherently a contradiction because one is trying to lay down an absolute rule saying that nothing conforms to a rule! It's liberal logic at its finest.
Uh, excuse me, but isn't CO2 what plants inhale? So, to get rid of that excess CO2, what we should do is plant lots of big plants -- such as trees. We've already seen that deforestation has done a lot of harm to the natural environment, so replacing those forests would be a good idea anyway -- especially if those trees provide food for humans. So, what -- if anything -- the govt. should be doing about Global Warming is to encourage people to plant trees, maybe give tax-breaks to anyone who plants trees on their own land, possibly revive the old Civilian Conservation Corps (with a lot less bureaucracy) and hire all the able-bodied unemployed to go out and plant trees on govt. land. That would be the sensible solution, and thoroughly supported by "accepted science".
Well, do you see anybody doing that? No, instead we get the Al Gore solution, or the Kyoto Accords, which claimed that the US and the other western industrial nations must give up all manufacturing, all driving of IC vehicles, all raising of cattle -- and, one presumes, all exhaling. Somehow, these Accords aren't meant to be applied to China, India, or Japan.
How on Earth can anyone be taken in by this scam?! How could the peer-review group of the Pulitzer Prize be taken in by it? I can't believe that this many people have voluntarily surrendered their intelligence. The only other answer is that they've all bought into another agenda hidden under the ballyhoo -- or else they've been bought off, outright. Seriously, can you think of any other reason for this unreason?
If environmentalists and warmists get out of the way, we will have no problem in feeding the likely max population of 10-10.5 billion without increasing the amount of farmland. Indeed, if Africa and S.Am begin using modern farming techniques, we can probably decrease the footprint, release more land to nature, and still feed the world.
Jan, sad when people suffer because science is stonewalled
Wait a minute!!!!
Isn’t that what Obama does?
There is a common theme here, isn’t there?
Apparently the First Amendment of our Constitution only guarantees free speech for liberal Democrats.
2. You are reading it right here.

He has the right to say that, and we're free to listen, or not, as we wish.
And of course I recommend not.
Because he does not mean a word of what he says.
If he did, he would not live the mega-mansion, private jet, chauffeured-limousine lifestyle.
He would do the "Living With Ed" thing, for real. ("Living With Ed," starring Ed Begley, Jr.; Home and Garden Television.)
I wonder how Gore got there...hitchhiked? Rode his bike? Roller skated?
zenphamy unfortunately the news media do give him that audience and the media is so entrenched in the stupidity exhibited by the liberals that they would never say "al" what about all of the record setting cold days and snow accumulations we are experiencing. another demonstration of the tragic ending that is in the process of the USA
