His High Holiness Goricle of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming — He who cannot be accused of hypocrisy for his gluttony of air travel, residential square-footage, daily food and snacks to feed a small village, and all manner of enlarged carbon feets due his promiscuous use of indulgences carbon credits — ratchets up the “climate change” rhetoric
Speaking in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by The Times, Mr Gore said: “Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource.”Mr Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as that from Hitler.
I’m sure he means well and I suppose we shouldn’t criticize such an obviously passionate and feeling man just looking out for everyone but himself, right?

Gore’s grades in school sucked, but based on this hyperbole, I’m sure he must have gotten decent grades in writing; specializing in literature of the absurd of course…

Never fear, the Times changed the headline to omit the references to Hitler. He was thinking of some other enemy of Churchill, no doubt, as Tim Blair quips.

Al’s got a houseboat the size of my home (with enough generators to light up my block) tied up at his dock-I’ve got two canoes in my back yard. If he wants me to think he’s serious, he needs to sell the houseboat and buy a couple of canoes instead.

No, Al. You’re high. I just don’t know how to put it anymore plainly than that it’s highly unlikely to the point of inconceivable that future generations will under any circumstance ever ask any such question. I don’t think you understand for real people at all. They don’t think like you think they do. You’re a big weirdo.

Oh, and global cooling is much more dangerous, because when it gets colder crops don’t grow and people starve / become more vulnerable. Of course, the watermelons solution is to promote a fuel alternative made from food, so more people starve.

What caught my eye about your 2nd link was Barry praising the $100 million solar power that brings in 14 megawatts on 140 acres. 140 acres is roughly 6.1 MILLION square feet (approx .22 square mile) of land… as if installing that big a footprint on land has no enviromental effect? Barry himself said such energy would help only 13,000 homes … how many square miles of land would it take to power a medium size bedroom community of 50,000 homes? What about businesses that use far more energy?

Expect the urgency of the AGW crowd to increase as the cooling trend deepens. Their time’s running out and they have to get their laws passed NOW before the majority of people get wise to them.
S. Weasel made a good point; it’s funny how all the thing being proposed to “fight global warming” are things hippies were for in the first place.
Comment by Spiny Norman on 7/8 @ 12:39 pm #
Pat yourself all you want, but you have it backwards; Al Gore proved Godwin’s Law:
The “Usenet” reference has now expanded to include just about any discussion at all, even where politics may only be tangentally involved. Now, there are various corollaries to Godwin’s Law (some by Godwin himself) that state, in effect, that resorting to a reductio ad Hitlerum argument is tantamout to admitting you’ve lost the debate, but they are not Godwin’s Law itself – it is only a Law of Probability.

Argumentum ad Hitlerum. Ha ha ha. That’s a good one, the very last refuge for the intellectually bereft, next to racism. This was all so terribly gripping way back there in Elementary the first time I saw the little Cairn terrier pull back the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.
Comment by Bob Reed on 7/8 @ 1:00 pm #
Darleen,
The 14 megawatt figure being hailed is actually the peak output of the plant; not the continuous output. That same peak output only occurs for a few hours of the day. The continuous output is closer to 1/5th of that figure…
And in terms of efficient use of space? The area in use for that plant represents about 567,000 square meters. So, the peak figure of 14 MW divided by that yield approxiamately 25 watts per square meter. Considering that approximately 660 watts per aquare meter is the insolation value on the Earths surface, that means the efficiancy, at PEAK output is 25/660 or roughly 3.75 percent…
And if the continuous value is used? Then efficiancy is closer to 3/4 of a percent…
While I am a fan of solar power, where applicable, this is hardly the revolutionary Breakthrough! that it is being heralded as…
And let’s not talk about cost, especially in light of the 10 to 15 year duty cycle of the cells in question…
Best Wishes
