Al Gore is a fraud

[CowboyBlue]

Al Gore using more energy in one month then the average person while preaching "cut down" on greenhouse gases seems awfully familiar to michael moore saying "we got to help poor people" while striking it rich off their backs and living in a mansion

starting to see some interesting similarities.....:eek:

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

You have made this point about breathing exhaust fumes a couple of times. Surely you understand that it is carbon monoxide in exhaust that will kill you, not CO2. CO2 is not a pollutant. It won't hurt you. Plant life would end without it. Unfortunately, much of the global warming debate orchestrated by Al Gore and other political hustlers rests on about the same level of scientific understanding.

AAA, i dont know what science you've been looking at, but perhaps you could be rational for a moment.

CO2 will kill you. Via lack of oxygen, but it is the other bit that makes up most of the %ge of "air" as we know it, right?

If the respective %ages of O2 vs CO2 might change by a significant proportion in the atmosphere, then what might happen?

 

[Jayford]

Most people don't realize that the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is WAY less than 1% (aprox 4/100th of 1%). Its mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.

I don't think anyone will be suffocating soon. The earth had much more CO2 in its past and the creatures did just fine.

Note this particular post is not debating warming, just the fact that an increase in CO2 will have anything to do with breathing. The plants will love it.

Quote from traderNik:

I too applaud the effort at separating the wheat from the PC chaff, but in this case, Gore's grandstanding aside, I think it's folly to either hope that greenhouse gas emissions are not and will not have a seriously adverse effect on the environment, or to say we must wait until the problem is obvious for everyone to see. That's kind of like saying 'Let's wait until the species is actually extinct before initiating conservation efforts - until then, how can we be sure that extinction is even a possibility?'.

Which is exactly why I said I supported something like Kyoto for pollution in general, not just CO2. This should be done whether or not global warming is even occurring. But just accepting the warming thing as fact is crappy science. In 10 years we may be freezing our asses off again, who knows. And yes, this is possible. The 30's were steaming hot, 40's through 70's cold, and now steaming hot again.

D'oh!!!
So much for my memory, i shoulda paid more attention in chem class.

Nitrogen, huh......well, thats even worse!! Were all gonna explode!!!

... but there is no proof that there even IS global warming. Sure, we've heated up the past 30 years.

now that is consequent line of argument at its best.

Quote from Bitstream:

and how do u reconcile the fact the whole solar system is heating up. every planet including the most distant ones are going trough massive changes in temperatures....how do u figure that out. not such a slam dunk case now is it.

i find it strange that it seems to be so difficult to find
out about our own history of global temperature but
so easy to know about other planets ...

Quote from Hydroblunt:

I do not understand this deathwish some of you global warming opponents. Do you really want to be proven wrong the hard way?

great point.

Quote from Nick Leeson Jr:
Gore has built a "green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms," writes blogger Dan Riehl.

what skillful wording! let me read out the subtext for
you. "Gore will make billions on back of the average
Joe."

Quote from Nick Leeson Jr:

Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as "carbon neutral," meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere."

But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating "global warming," reports blogger Bill Hobbs.

subtext: "Gore is cheating. he is making up the case
since he is invested. you know the trick: buy small
stock and talk it up."

now, that if that is not real journalism ...
