Al Gore, words so dumb you can't air it.

"Gore staffers blocked broadcast access to Wednesday’s speech" But why?

Gore complains that "carbon producers... employ four Washington lobbyists for every member of Congress” but sees no problem with his own green jobs profiteering.

"Gore argued that extreme weather patterns were directly attributable to climate change, and that scientists overwhelmingly backed that viewpoint." Ofcourse these same "scientists" can't reliably produce a 3 day forecast, and a 10 day forecast is a joke. The long range models don't even rise to the joke level based on the guesswork involved. So directly attributable is bunk. And as for "overwhelmingly backed" apparently Mr. Gore thinks about 50% and falling is overwhelming.

“All that is lacking in many areas is the political will to carry those solutions through." Because these solutions are economic losers. Giant, production output inefficient, taxpayer money sucking, business competition eliminating, country competitive advantage ending, cost of living raising, economic losers.

"But, he said, plenty of jobs were on the horizon." Like solyndra... oops.

“Jobs are going to be especially important in this process, of course, and you are going to see the creation of lots and lots of jobs.” Like the chevy volt... oops.

"Chamber chairman Mike Salter, an energy industry veteran, noted that the cost of a wind farm project off the British coast made the power it generated 25 percent more expensive than had been estimated 18 months ago – and 25-35 percent more expensive than nuclear energy." Amazing how these early "green" estimates are always so badly wrong, and always so badly wrong in favor of the "green" project.

“This is indeed a very significant opportunity for Scotland, but only if the cost base is right. If as a consequence, the rest of the economy is disadvantaged then perhaps such a total commitment is misguided. Other lower-cost technologies are available.” I did say giant, production output inefficient, taxpayer money sucking, business competition eliminating, country competitive advantage ending, cost of living raising, economic losers, right?


"Many climate scientists and even some environmental activists have become more cautious about attributing various events and trends to man-made climate change, especially after a series of blows to the credibility of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including the “Climategate” data-manipulation scandal and the IPCC’s retraction of an assertion in a key 2007 report that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035." When you predict disaster, you either have to be right, or predict it far enough in the future that you're dead when you're proven wrong. Oops, failed on both accounts.

"In his speech, Gore referred among other things to recent flooding in Pakistan, where an estimated five million people have been affected, especially in the southern Sindh province. Pakistani government and meteorological department statistics for river discharges during the monsoon season (July-September) show flooding has occurred frequently, including in 1950, 1956, 1976, 1977, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1994, 2003, 2007 and 2010." They call it the monsoon season for a reason, dumb ass.
