Last week, Al Gore went on "Meet the Press" to rant and rave about, what else, "global warming" or what he now calls it, "global climate change".
To hear Al Gore rant about how awful life will be unless we stop emitting carbons, you would think that in 10 years the USA will all be under water or some ridiculous thing.
One word to Al Gore.
CARBONS ARE NOT BAD GREENHOUSE GASES. CARBONS ARE GOOD, NOT BAD.
What? Some of you are saying. "I thought Carbons were Bad" "I thought Carbons will kill us"?
"I thought the Polar Ice Caps at the North Pole were melting fast"?
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Carbon Dioxide is emitted by US Humans when we exhale. Plants then take it and use it for growth. So Carbon Dioxide is actually good for the environment.
A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.
The fact of the matter is that the climate is always changing and has always changed since back in the Bible after the Great Flood during Noah's time.
There are Sunspots that cause different areas of the Earth to warm while other areas cool. Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods, Drought, Snow, Ice, Wind, you name it. All have happened and will continue to happen.
BUT NOT BECAUSE OF MANKIND. These things happen because of God. That's right. God made the Sun and the Earth. Natural disasters happen because of Sin. Remember the Garden of Eden. There was no Natural disasters in the Garden of Eden. But then Sin came and now there are natural disasters. But it has NOTHING to do with us burning coal or drilling for oil or emitting a few extra carbons into the atmosphere.
Fact: In 1989, the UN "warned" us that unless we stopped "global warming", we would all starve, and face horrific natural disasters here in the USA. Well 1989 has come and gone (almost 20 yrs later) and we are still here, doing just fine.
There are over 32,000 scientists who have signed a petition, stating basically that man-made global warming is a hoax and carbon emission is not harmful to the environment. That's right, 32,000 scientists and growing. Take a look at the Oregon petition.
The global warming dissenting scientists now outnumber the environmentalists that attended the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio that actually kicked off the global warming craze.
Here is a transcript of Al Gore on Meet the Press, July 20, 2008.
MR. BROKAW: Let me ask you about your personal lifestyle, because it's been the subject of a lot of dialogue on the blogs, as you know. You and Tipper have bought a big home outside of Nashville, and you had it retrofitted. But for a time there was a comparison between what the president has in Texas at his home as being more environmentally correct than your home. The Building Green Council gave you its second highest award. But Stephen Smith, who is with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, is troubled by the scale of your home. He said, "We all need to evaluate what we ... need in square footage." Present company included. We all have to look at scale, don't we? Why was it necessary for you to have a 10,000 square foot home? Because that is going to be more energy intensive than a smaller home for just the two of you.
VICE PRES. GORE: Well, there--I don't claim to be perfect, and all of us who care about this issue are, are trying to do our part, but I, I will say this. We buy green energy. The issue is carbon. The issue is carbon, and we have, essentially, a carbon-free home. We buy from wind energy and solar energy. Our roof is covered with solar electric panels, a geothermal system with all these deep wells, and we cut our natural gas bill by 90 percent, and I'm, I'm--we're, we're walking the walk and not just talking the talk. There are always people who are going to try to aim at the messenger if they don't like the message, and I don't claim to be perfect, but we are walking the walk.
MR. BROKAW: How often do you fly on a private jet?
VICE PRES. GORE: I've--much more frequently on public transportation. I'm flying on Southwest Airlines again today. But sometimes the schedule requires that, and sometimes I do that.
MR. BROKAW: Should there be a surcharge on jet fuel, cost for private aviation, which is expanding exponentially in this country, and it leaves a very large carbon footprint.
VICE PRES. GORE: Fine by me. Sounds like a good idea.
It all sounds like a load of crap to me.
Gore got one thing right: He's not perfect.
