Does Al Gore have an epic polar bear hangover? Speaking of polar bears, hangovers and con artists - oh, man, if ever I read a doozy that would encapsalate all of the above it would be Al Gore's New York Times op-ed this weekend. Essentially Al Gore trumps up all of the old bromides and slogans, party-line pandering and weepy-chicken little 'sky is falling scenarios' to (attempt) to make the reader feel that the impending doom of mankind by the hand of mankind-created global warming is still the greatest threat to mankind even though every bit of damning evidence that has come out recently in the Climatgate, IPCC, myriad scandals.
I gleaned some Al Gore (aka ManBearPig) goodies from the NYT piece so that you wouldn't have to. I'm sure that Al Gore's 'We Can't Wish Away Global Warming' op-ed will be a huge discussion on A.M. talk radio come monday:
It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.
But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.
Al Gore also capitulates on Climatgate but then (predictably) and merely states that 'it doesn't matter' essentially and that irregardless of the botched data and scandals, global warming is still a 'consensus'. Oh how dying ideologies based on lies are hard to die:
It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law.
Now granted this is just a little of the first page of 3 pages of his NYT op-ed. Go here to read the rest.Also read a good summary at the Lonely Conservative.
