Global Warming - the truth

[red states rule]

I think we need an aggressive strategy to meet the challenge of long-term global climate change by reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of our economy by 18 percent over the next 10 years.

Al Gore Tells Congress to Tax Pollution and CO2 to Solve Global Warming Crisis
Posted by Noel Sheppard on March 21, 2007 - 14:55.
As most of you know, former Vice President and soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore spoke in front of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Science and Technology Wednesday about the dangers of anthropogenic global warming (video available here).

What you probably didn't know is that the global warmingest-in-chief actually recommended a tax on pollution to solve the problem.

I kid you not.

*****Update: Prepared text of Gore's testimony is available here.

As ABC News reported (emphasis added):

I promise you a day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they will ask one of two questions. Either they will ask, 'what in God's name were they doing? Didn't they see the evidence?'" Gore asked. Or he said, "they may look back and say 'how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?

Of course, Gore placed the burden of solving this as yet unproven crisis on America and Americans:

America is the natural leader of the world. And our world faces a true planetary emergency.

How should we solve this problem? Well, according to ABC News:

Gore suggested several proposals including a 90 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — an aggressive reduction that critics argue would cripple the U.S. economy.


He also suggested that Congress raise fuel economy standards and enact a moratorium on any new coal fired power plants that don't include technology to capture greenhouse gas pollution and store it underground.

Isn't that special?

And, as you might expect, Gore called for Congress to create "pollution" taxes. In his view, taxes should be reduced on employment and production to make way for new taxes on the pollution one emits, mainly CO2.

I'm sure you can't wait to find out how much that will cost you in the future to solve a problem that likely doesn't exist now, and, according to most of the global warming skeptics, will actually be one of global cooling within the next couple of decades.

Of course, people like Gore at that point will likely blame that cooling on global warming, right?

It's odd to contemplate that the U.S. will be the first country in history to burn up its food supply on purpose.

WashPost's Milbank Casts Al Gore As Man of Science, Inhofe As Bible-Thumping Bryan Type
Posted by Tim Graham on March 22, 2007 - 08:12.
The Washington Post can never decide whether its Page Two columnist Dana Milbank is writing news stories or editorials or "news-itorials." But his "Washington Sketch" on Al Gore's Wednesday testimony is artistic indeed, casting Gore as the "champion of scientific thought" and conservative Sen James Inhofe as the William Jennings Bryan character in "Inherit the Wind," the sad back-woods Bible-thumper arrayed against the wisdom of modernity:

Al Gore, star of an Academy Award-winning film, was in town for a double feature on Capitol Hill yesterday. But instead of giving another screening of "An Inconvenient Truth," the former vice president found himself playing the Clarence Darrow character in "Inherit the Wind."


....It was, in many ways, a 21st-century version of the Scopes trial. Only this time, Gore, like William Jennings Bryan a failed Democratic presidential nominee, was playing Darrow, champion of scientific thought. Inhofe was playing the Bryan character, defending his beliefs against the encroachments of foes such as the National Academy of Sciences, the United Nations and the Oscar-hoisting former vice president.

Milbank does allow readers to hear a little of the "savage" conservative "ordeal" Gore was under from Inhofe and Congressman Joe Barton, but mostly, Gore was a superstar:

There was opening-night enthusiasm as hundreds lined up to see Gore make his first appearance in the Rayburn House office building. The demand for seats led staffers to set up two overflow rooms. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, by contrast, attracted barely a glance as she arrived for another hearing moments before Gore's appearance.

This does not qualify as objective reporting.

Looks like RSR doesn't support our President. Shame. Might as well move to France.

Pres Bush is wrong on the issue. The global warming myth is yet another made up crisis by the left simply to attack capitalism

He must be misinformed. He should stop listening to NASA and the NAS so much and read newsbusters more often.

I did not make anything up - I do not have to. Libs like Al Bore provide all the material I need

I posted hos quotes and it sheds a littlle light on the real agenda of the kook left. They want to stop America's progress

I am still waiting for someone to explain how a DEMOCRAT Senate (led by Tom "I am now unemployed" Daschle) in 1997, voted 95 - 0 against Al Bore's Koyoto treaty
