The global warming movement is reeling from serial revelations of scientific incompetence, outright fraud, bullying and rogue idealogues masquerading as scientists, but Al Gore has addressed none of these inconvenient truths beyond a glib denial that Climategate was a storm in a teacup.
Al prefers to ignore the collapse of the AGW hoax, preferring the Ostrich Defense of pretending it’s still October 2009 and people are stupid. Al returns to the old playbook and recommends scary pictures of devastation caused by global warming. He has no idea that the world has woken up and smelled the skeptic coffee.
Below is one of the images that frightened Al so much that he was moved to blog about it. I warn you to look away now if you are of a weak disposition:
global warming killed this hovel?
I can only imagine the crushing fear hippies feel when they witness scenes of senseless destruction wreaked by a vengeful Mother Earth. Like this one, also no doubt caused by global warming:
where's FEMA when you need them?
Al’s right, we need to regulate a benign trace gas to stop this evil before more lawn chairs are tipped over.
Michael – (sarcasm)The conditions you describe are caused by burning fossile fules for heating. Every year when the weather get cold and more fossile fuel is burned the leaves do as you describe. In the spring, as the use of fssile fules lessens the trees recover and the leaves return.
So you see it’s not caused by global warming but by burning fossile fules! (/sarcasm)
Over New Year’s weekend, my wife and I decided to take our boy up to the mountains so that he could see snow. After a nice weekend throwing snowballs at each other, huddling for warmth around the cabins fireplace, we came back home where it is warm and sunny.
I have only now realized, after reading dire predictions of 1 billion ‘climate refugees’ by 2050, that we are now sadly amongst the ranks of those poor downtrodden climate refugees….
What must we do to stop this madness? How can we stop snow from falling in the mountains? How can we help the poor people who live there and must spend their winters playing different outdoor sports than they do in the summer?
Now that I think about it, one of my good friends repeatedly tells me that the reason he moved away from Iowa was because it was too cold there. I wonder if he realizes that he is a climate refugee? I must wonder, how many of us have at one time or another found ourselves refugees of the climate?
Oh, the humanity!
[...] Goreacle’s oddest blog post became the subject of one of my own posts, in which readers waded in with woeful tales of lives destroyed by global warming. Feel free to [...]
Sorry. Mars has global warming, too. Theres a conspiracy theory going around that Martian global warming isn’t anthropogenic, though.
Ho Hum
Sorry kidletts but Awesome Unwelles late 30′s radio hoax is now (honourably) relegated to 2nd place and Al rockets to the top!
Apart from the RKO story being way too believable, Awesome & HG’s characters are just not plausible enough now, albeit far more palatable.
If we could just un-cryopack W C Fields for a day or two we might have a real contest for the WBA top froot loop dipsomaniac
“HBO, where for art thou” when we needest you most?
And can you imagine the suffering if that lawn chair had..gasp… FALLEN ON SOMEONE? That’s the last straw for me – I’m moving to Mars.
Oh noes!!! I was a victim of global warming too! last summer….we had a lack of..*sniff*..BLISTERING HOT WEATHER!!! OH THE HUMANITY!!!! TAKE AL OF MY MONEY AND SAVE ME FROM NICER SUMMERS, OH ECO-PROPHET GORE!
My name’s Michael and I too am a victim of global warming. Last October I looked out the window and noticed hundreds of leaves covering the ground. At first I was taken aback, saddened by the tremendous loss of chlorophyll. Instead of the healthy green colors that normally highlighted the trees, I saw devastation and was angry. It must’ve been global warming that caused all of the leaves to turn into sharply contrasting colors of red, orange and yellow. And now they lay bare on the ground, having dried up and turned an ugly tint of brown. Oh, global warming, why did you destroy the beautiful tree canopy? Why?
What? Global warming doesn’t cause autumn leaves to fall? :-)
