Remember When Al Gore Was A Living God?

LivelineDipso · 23-03-2013 10:20am #1

The horrific days of melting poles, massively rising sea levels drowning all coastal cities, worldwide death and mass starvation and every civil servant Partnership maggot, QUANGOmonkey, clueless student, propaganda journalist and assorted arrogant midgets warned that the "consensus" was...

"I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What are relevant are reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period." - Michael Crichton

Go on yeah

Al Gore invented the internet. Don't believe me? Just ask him yourself!

super_furry · 23-03-2013 10:32am

Nope, don't remember that at all.

Littlehorny · 23-03-2013 10:35am

Al Gore before he went on his "crusade" to save the planet had 5 million in the bank, few years after his crusade - 75 million in the bank!

That's me convinced so, everything he has ever said and everything he has ever done is a lie.

I often wondered what would have been the outcome of 9 11 if Al Gore had won the election against George W Bush or would it have happened at all.

It would have happened, they probably would have gone into Afghanistan, but not Iraq.

Saddam was a monster but don't forget he was once armed by The United States. I don't mourn his passing but NATO have made a bigger sh*thole out of Iraq. Strange how Afghanistan was invaded by NATO forces but Bin Laded was killed in Pakistan. Strange how Pakistan have Nuclear Power. There are a lot of western politician's who have nightmare's about that.

I've been saying its a scam for years and one that has finally been disproved.

They started calling it climate change when their projections didn't go the way wanted.

mr j tayto · 23-03-2013 2:36pm

Nice little earner for the man who was president but then found out he was'nt. Payoff perhaps?;)

No they didn't. Global warming has always been just one aspect of climate change. And whatever about the causes of it; virtually nobody disputes that average global temperatures are rising.

catallus · 23-03-2013 4:01pm

What puzzles me about Al Gore is that he was in the "second-most-important" position in the world for eight years, with vast resources and influence at his disposal and it was only when the Presidency of the USA was snatched from him (to the surprise of almost everyone) that he began blubbering on about this issue.

If I were one to blatantly pretend that I'm a psychologist (and I am!) I'd say a bit of his mind broke when he was robbed of almost certain power. You could literally see his brains seeping from his head! Some of the stuff he and his friends came out with about AGW was wildly inflammatory, but that's how you make the big bucks. $70million? Nice work.

I dispute it. They are not rising. Try a trendline out on the most recent data. They are rising over 40 years but not 10 years.

There's noone so blind as those that wont see unfortunately.

Sea temperatures are also on the rise, wait and see what a change in the gulf stream will do to northern Europe.
We're already experiencing wetter summers due to a shift in the jet stream and this will be small potatoes compared to what a shift in the gulf stream will do.

Overheal · 23-03-2013 4:15pm

I still love this one from Hannity, and you hear people reproduce similar claims on a seasonal basis. Every ****ing winter "Wheres your global warming now, Al Gore?" Ehm ITS ****ING WINTER. And also, They're all idiots, because these have all been record-breaking weather events, hot and cold.

I'm lving this retrospective fitting of current weather to "climate change".
Cold winters the past few years were more evidence. Cold summer was evidence. Hot summer is evidence. You can't win.

The ten warmest years since records began 132-years ago have all occurred since 1998, and the last year that was cooler than average was 1976.

Er no I don't remember at all when Al Gore was god, was even living in the States during his supposed 'reign' as an evangelist and 2nd in command (although in Dan Quayle was a VP:rolleyes:, look at Biden, so I really don't hold being a VP in a high regard). Once again the Simpsons had it right.

Maybe selling his cable TV channel and making $100m could explain his wealth. You know.. the American dream.
What are you suggesting exactly?

Only if you look at events in a singular manner. Climates around the globe are shifting due to everything being one large interconnected system. Some places are getting warmer while others are getting colder. Hotter spells in the equator and tropics has an adverse effect on weather patterns further north and south. For example, warmer sea temperatures could see a huge change in the oceans currents and considering our weather is almost entirely due to the gulf stream it is a cause for concern.

catallus · 23-03-2013 4:45pm

The problem with Climate Change is that at the end of the day when all is said and done and the music stops and the fat lady sings and the chips are counted and the cows come home, we are talking about predicting the weather. The current technology allows for accurate predictions up to about 5 days, I think.

When the scientists and politicians come out and say the weather has nothing to do with the climate it shows the emperor to have no clothes.

Al Gore, if he were president, would have wasted time capturing Bin Laden and rebuilding New York.

It took a visionary with the analytical mind of George W. Bush to detect the real mastermind behind the plot - Saddam - and the to prove it by saying it really loudly over and over again on the news.

I remember hearing about Gore's wealth increase on The Last Word a few years ago so i just done a bit of googling and found that his worth when he was vice president was 1 million and according to an article in the Washington Post since leaving office Gore has gotten involved in green energy companies. The article states that through his powerful resume and contacts he built up while in office these companies have received federal funding. The article also states that Gores personal wealth has increased by 98 million through these companies. My point is this man has made immense amounts of money and when someone has something to gain financially i usually take what they say with a pinch of salt.
