<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Gore and Gingrich bump heads at House climate hearing]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Delay And Deny http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-24-gore-and-gingrich-bump-heads/ Sat, 25 Apr 2009 08:46:28 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-24-gore-and-gingrich-bump-heads/1 Gore has stated...he is a businessman who chooses to use his profits to "fight climate change".


So be it.  Fair is fair.  He follows the rules and makes his choices with his own money.



So why not continue this Republican private model?    If Gore can raise 200 million...why not 200 billion?     Why not fund more hydrogen and nanontechnology companies that will truly allow us to generate power and fuel transportation without generating any CO2?


Gore made the leap...but yet he returns to the nest to "legislate".   Mr. Gore, you have proven yourself an adept businessman...now use your capital to seed businesses that will remake the 21st century.

Barton from Texas earlier, professed completely false and dangerous lies about ocean acidification and AGW effects on coral reefs and shelled creatures of the sea.

The tragedy is that ocean acidification is not complex to demonstrate, is a potentially huge horror show for more than a billion people, and is all but untapped as a source issue for climate activists to rally around.

Gore is saying his personal efforts aren't enough... but all the sudden you're in favor of letting him handle it all.

It ain't about Gore. It's about climate change. Get a grip.

More than 700 international scientists dissent over man-made global warming claims. They are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechangefraud.com/content/view/3562/218/

 

Additionally, 32,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate…" http://www.petitionproject.org/index.html

 

"Progressive" (communist) politicians like Obama seem determined to force us to swallow the man-made global warming scam. We need to defend ourselves from the United Nations and these politicians, who threaten our future and the future of our children. Based on a lie, they have already wasted billions and plan to increase taxes and increase the cost of energy, which will limit development, destroy our economy and enslave us. 

 

If not stopped, the global warming scam will enrich the scammers (Gore and Obama’s Wall Street friends), increase the power of the United Nations and communists like Obama, and multiply poverty and servitude for the rest of us.

“Most scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human 

expansion of the "greenhouse effect" -- warming that results when the atmosphere traps 

heat radiating from Earth toward space.”

“Climate research conducted over the past several years indicates that most of the 

global warming experienced in the past few decades is very likely due to the observed 

increase in greenhouse gas concentrations from human activities.”

“The Earth's climate is now clearly out of balance and is warming. Many components of 

the climate system—including the temperatures of the atmosphere, land and ocean, the 

extent of sea ice and mountain glaciers, the sea level, the distribution of precipitation, 

and the length of seasons—are now changing at rates and in patterns that are not 

natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of 

greenhouse gases and aerosols generated by human activity during the 20th century.”

I selected a few at random. There are professors in tellecomunications, medical doctors and engineers but client scientists are eerily underrepresented.


Why do you suppose that might be?
