Bullshit

August 11th, 2011

I presume by now everyone has heard the Al Gore speech?

In case you haven’t, here he is ranting on about Global Warming.

I have listened to it a couple of times, and each time I become more mystified as to how anyone could believe the idiot.

Al Gore has a very dangerous combination – a theory, a lot of money and a craving for self publicity.  He produced that film “An Inconvenient Truth” which by dint of fancy graphics, scare tactics and outright lies, managed to con a lot of people thereby landing us in the crazy situation we are in now with all our carbon taxes and the other “green” measures.

In his speech he comes across as a petulant child who can’t understand that he is wrong.  His answer to any criticism is to shout “bullshit” and that is it.  He seems incapable of rational argument, and even worse seems incapable of understanding that his theories may come under scrutiny and that people will come up with opposing theories.

For a short while, Gore was hailed as the saviour of mankind and the Nobel Institute were even daft enough to give him a prize.  Now that his theories are being disproved left right and centre his response is to whinge that no one believes him any more.

With regard to his claims of “bullshit” science, someone over at the Climate Depot site has neatly provided rebuttals to all of Gore’s points.

In the meantime, here is another piece of bullshit for him to add to his collection.

    I have said for years, ever since he was clinton’s VP, that Algore is full of shit.  I have never believed in his climate change religion.  It’s so nice to see the world’s scientific community coming together to disprove his theories.

    Brianf – The very first time I heard of this Global Warming thing alarm bells rang.  And when I started to dig, the alarm bells became deafening.

    There is one enormous question though – if the whole AGW gang finally admit that they got it wrong, what the fuck is going to happen to all the Carbon Trading and Carbon Taxes bullshit [and that is true bullshit!]?  How are the public going to react to the news that they have been paying extra for a myth?  The bottom line is that Global Warming has to exist even though it has been proved that it doesn’t.

    Bullshit. I understand his frustration.

    Gore is still mad that Bill would not share his interns with him.

    TT – Good evening to you too, Sir.

    Jim C – Would you accept BC’s castoffs?

    Cat – That’s very unlike you to to miss an opportunity to hear a grown man cry?

    Check your e-mail GD. Also, when are you going to Frankreich? Why you go there every fuckin’ year is beyond me. I mean it’s OK in the south and the west, but have you never heard of Italy? Maybe you could holiday in Germany. You Irish probably get the Krauts to pay for it. Anyways, take more photies this tear. Maybe a viddy?

    TT – Mail checked.  And what’s wrong with France?  It’s warm, I have a passable working knowledge of the lingo and it’s relatively close.  I would love to visit further afield [Italy?  Switzerland?] but they are one hell of a lot further away, and I don’t know any of the lingo.

    Why do I get your blogs a day later than everyone else?

  10. Grandad IRELANDon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:23 am

    Ramrod – I don’t know.  Do you live in an alternate universe?

  11. RAMROD UNITED STATESon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:27 am

    No, but I am on the Homeland Security Threat List.

  12. Grandad IRELANDon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:29 am

    … which means they will be reading what you read before you get it.  Shit!  I suppose that means I’ll soon have the CIA camping on my doorstep again.

  13. The CIA on 12 Aug 2011 at 1:36 am

    What?  Did you think we left or something?

  14. RAMROD UNITED STATESon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:37 am

    I will send you the hours for tomorrows blog.

    “Ramrod – I don’t know.  Do you live in an alternate universe?’

    No argument there.

  16. Grandad IRELANDon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:46 am

    Oh fuck!  Now look what you have done.  Woken TT again.  Can you two please not break any of my best crockery this time.

    CIA – I told you before.  A big black van with mirror windows and “Manhatten Power and Light” very slightly sticks out in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains.  Can you at lest try to be a little more inventive this time?

    I am just being considerate of an old man who is six hours ahead of Chicago’s time and may already be in bed.

  18. Grandad IRELANDon 12 Aug 2011 at 1:57 am

    Ramrod – Much appreciated.  It’s nice to be treated civilly from time to time.  Actually I am just thinking of going to bed now.
