Isn't it simply FASCINATING how people everywhere are enthralled by Al Gore's pronouncements of anthropogenic global warming, and yet those same folks will laugh at, and mock anyone who dissents from Al Gore's Religion, and say their "credentials" are insufficient.
Well, Al Gore's "credentials" include flunking out of Vanderbilt divinity school.
So Fat Al is too stupid to make it to a position where he could be mercilessly ridiculed and derided for being a "Bible thumper" or "religious extremist" who thinks we have a "flat earth."
Page 3 “...eight acres’ worth of prime topsoil floats past Memphis every hour.”
Comment: Topsoil does not float. It sinks. Some may even be in suspension, but "float" it does not. Vice President Dan Quayle was endlessly mocked and ridiculed by the left for a simple misspelling. We shall see far more than misspelling by Al Gore in his infamous book.
Page 110 "(the Sacramento River delta is) “sinking about three inches each year, perhaps because it is getting less sediment.”
So you see, in Memphis, it's bad that eroded topsoil moves downriver.
But in Sacramento, it's bad that not enough eroded topsoil comes in.
Page 6 the unrestrained burning of cheap fossil fuel has many ferocious defenders…”
If anyone unrestrainedly burns fossil fuel, which of late is anything but "cheap," it is Al Gore, with his private jet, as he gallivants around the world, telling everyone else to drive up and hear him tell them to... stay home and not burn gas.
Page 19 “I was standing in the sun on a hot steel deck… We were anchored…”
After lecturing you not to unrestrainedly burn cheap fossil fuel on page six, Gore lectures you on his trip to the Aral Sea, in Russia. Nor is it possible to "anchor" a boat sitting on dirt, fifty miles from any body of water, as Gore was there.
Page 24 Gore shows a graph of “species lost each year” without any attribution whatsoever, as if he created it based on his personal knowledge. Most unscholarly.
Page 47 “Aficionados of the symphony, for example, recognize a crescendo as the point of maximum instability in a piece of music…”
I happen to be an aficionado of the symphony, and I know that “crescendo” means the gradual increase in volume, not "point of maximum instability". Nor is a crescendo a “point” but rather quite a wide range. Maurice Ravel wrote an entire piece in crescendo, called “Bolero.”
Page 76 Gore shows a graph without attribution, and cites “percentile” although what it means is unclear.
Pages 94 and 96 Two more graphs without any attribution whatsoever.
Page 111 “…many large dams…have had perverse effects…” But elsewhere Gore extols the virtue of electric vehicles as “non-polluting.”
Is Gore completely ignorant of the fact that over 50% of electricity generated in America is produced by burning fossil fuel?
And yet dams are bad, and nuclear power is bad. Why don't these left-wing extremists practice what they passionately order everyone else to do? Stay at home.
"...ravenous civilization…” Three yew trees must be cut down to save a woman’s life. Are we “entitled to do so?”
No Al. Not unless it's your wife.
Page 121 The US actually has more forested land than it did a hundred years ago.” BUT “deforestation of public lands (is an ) ecological tragedy."
Page 146 Each person in the U.S. produces an average of twenty tons of CO2 each year." Al produces far more than this with his globetrotting to Russia, Antarctica, the Arctic Ocean, Amazon Rain Forest, Equatorial Africa, Caribbean, Kenya, Louisiana, Atlanta, and even Mount Rainier where he flew his son on Air Force 2 for his birthday.
Page 151 “…we are running out of places to put it (our garbage).”Al, drive from Los Angeles to Phoenix or Las Vegas, look out both sides, and stop spouting this nonsense.
Every living person on earth could easily fit inside one cubic mile.
Wow. Real "crowded."
P 171 “The Constitution … is still universally recognized as the world’s most forward-looking charter for self-government.” BUT: “Perhaps the most sluggish of all, after our political system, is our system of economics.” ( P 181)
P 298 “…the resounding philosophical defeat of communism has left an ideological vacuum…”
But: “What a striking contrast between the awesome power and efficiency of our economic system displayed in its philosophical rout of Marxism-Leninism and the abject failure of the very same system to even take note of the poisoning of our water, the fouling of our air, the destruction of tens of thousands of living species every year.” (P 185)
Page 175 The Bush White House policy on global warming was “disastrous and immoral”, but Al Gore’s flights all over the world were eco-friendly and religiously pure, of course.
Page 177 “The United States - and the rest of the world - was slow to act (as the Nazis terrorized Jews in the 1930s).” Bill Clinton and Al Gore didn’t act at all as the Rwandan Genocide took place, and as Saddam Hussein killed “five million to seven million Iraqis” according to National Geographic, June 2004, page 28.
I betcha he wike to give you a nice hug, and dwoow aw ovah you.
