Missing: Al Gore

Al Gore has made himself scarce this winter.

But never fear. Public education is still pushing Gore’s snake oil in “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Our children are being indoctrinated in the greatest pack of lies since Lenin. Himalayan glaciers disappearing, indeed.

Americans need more energy, and cheaper energy, if only to stay warm.

Warm is good.

As Gov’t Grabs Your Thermostat, Al Gore Grabs The Cash (Again)

Gore gives every penny of profit to charity, or so he states.

He insists, he is proud of it. He puts his money where his mouth is, but there is no gain in it for him, because he gives all profits to charity.

The Green Bubble is still growing . . .

Gore’s Dual Role in Spotlight: Advocate and Investor

By JOHN M. BRODER
Published: November 2, 2009

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Al Gore thought he had spotted a winner last year when a small California firm sought financing for an energy-saving technology from the venture capital firm where Mr. Gore is a partner.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient. It came to Mr. Gore’s firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s top venture capital providers, looking for $75 million to expand its partnerships with utilities seeking to install millions of so-called smart meters in homes and businesses.

Mr. Gore and his partners decided to back the company, and in gratitude Silver Spring retained him and John Doerr, another Kleiner Perkins partner, as unpaid corporate advisers.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts. Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

Silver Spring Networks is a foot soldier in the global green energy revolution Mr. Gore hopes to lead. Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr. Gore and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.

Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in.

Representative Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, asserted at a hearing this year that Mr. Gore stood to benefit personally from the energy and climate policies he was urging Congress to adopt.

Mr. Gore says that he is simply putting his money where his mouth is.

“Do you think there is something wrong with being active in business in this country?” Mr. Gore said. “I am proud of it. I am proud of it.”

Wrong is Evil

Wrong and Evil

Or is it Not Evil, Just Wrong - THE TRUE COST OF GLOBAL WARMING HYSTERIA

See the trailer here.

[...] examines the history of environmentalism, rooted in Rachel Carson’s famed 1962 book, Silent Spring, which led to a ban on DDT. This ban was disastrous for people in the developing world because DDT was the cheapest and safest way of combating malaria. An estimated 30 million people died when the DDT ban left them vulnerable to malaria. Not Evil Just Wrong exposes the full impact of robust and crushing environmental restrictions on the people of Uganda, before returning back to the United States to see how those same policies could impact American families in small towns like Vevay, Indiana.

Not Evil Just Wrong also shreds outrageous claims made in Al Gore’s award-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth, and rips apart academics and actors alike as they promote bad science to raise money for “green” initiatives.

[...]

I prefer “Wrong is Evil” but for 19.95 you can decide for yourself.

At least, the murder of 30 million Africans by Elite Environmentalists, or the elimination of the Evil ozone hole (which is still with us but no longer Evil), at unknown cost in lives of asthmatics (freon for inhalers now costs 4 times as much), seems Evil with a capital E to me.

Ominous Carbon Dioxide Shortfall

The human contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide is tailing off, rapidly.

Unless there is some other dominant source of carbon dioxide that is tailing off.
(in edit, actually I allude too vaguely here to uptake by the cooling oceans).

Temperature is tailing off.

But your energy taxes, and what you will pay for your next car, is SURGING UP; to stop global warming you think, since geniuses in or from government told you

I wouldn’t stand for it; but that’s me.

The graph is difficult to attribute, but ICECAP is always a good place to start/visit/hang around. The real truth is here, if you can handle it.

I added the green dashed line.

Carbon Dioxide Multiplier Less Than Unity

EMERGENCY: Open Water Found at North Pole

Little did we know; there is nought else but open water at the North Pole.

Al Gore lied. Arctic ice will not be gone in 5 years; it is already gone, in this amazing, obviously documentary photograph.

Arctic Armagedon For Real; Polar Bear Extinct

The noble polar bear is indeed extinct, certainly. If you think about it, you will have to admit, you haven’t seen a living specimen in a long time, now have you? Only polar bear photos have been bandied about; none of the real article.

Manhattan is already under 20 feet of water. It is too late to save the World by making Al Gore rich (he is already worth $200 Million, although he swears on his Daddy’s grave he has given every penny to charity). And anyway, Al Gore is just a diligent snake oil businessman.

Radiational Cooling Trumps Greenhouse CO2 Every Time

Global Warming, you say? Please!

As the Al Gore solar minimum extends its icy grip on Earth, it grows day by day less lucrative or intellectually satisfying to teach-in Global Warming Situations.

Ask them in Buffalo. “No evidence of global warming here, at least not this morning, when unofficial reports to the National Weather Service listed temperatures as low as 9 degrees below zero elsewhere in Erie County.” Gore effect frost follows not just Al Gore around; it follows Global Warming teach-ins, too.

Meanwhile, there is no cycle 24, and there are no sunspots. This happened before; what was the result? I leave it to your investigations. Try searching Dalton Minimum; or Maunder Minimum.

Story here: Gore effect visits on Global Warming Situations (sic) teach-in

“We didn’t have temperatures forecast to be quite that cold,” weather service meteorologist David Zaff said this morning. “When you have snowpack on the ground and clear skies, temperatures can plummet. It’s called radiational cooling.”

That cooling phenomenon, under mockingly clear skies, posed a hardship for some morning commuters and some finger-numbing discomfort for others.

“Compared to a normal winter day, our call volume is up about 25 percent, and it’s directly related to the cold,” said Diana Dibble, public affairs manager for AAA of Western and Central New York.

The most common complaint, of course, was cars that wouldn’t start, but the AAA also fielded calls from some early risers who locked their keys in their vehicles while trying to warm up their cars.

Nobel Idiot: El Nino Linked to AGW

The inconvenience is all yours, Al. You should’ve stuck with the truth, however.

“It will take some more years to “Mother Nature” to dismiss some or all of Gore forecasts, but earlier predictions made by him are already proving to be an inconvenient mistake.”

Al Gore’s Inconvenient Mistake – Reprised

By Alexandre Aguiar, MetSul Weather Center Communications Director and the Weatherman for Ulbra TV in Porto Alegre, Brazil

Icecap Note: The is a reprise of the story from October 2007 posted by Alexandre during the first year of what has become a three year La Nina. With a La Nina in 2005, and a three year string in 1998/99, 1999/2000 and 2000/01, this makes 7 La Nina years in the last 11 years. It was in 1997 that Al Gore and other scientists at an important summit in California suggested that because of global warming we would be entering a period with frequent perhaps even permanent strong El Ninos (and thus no more La Ninas). Ironically, the UK Met Office is blaming the La Ninas for the failure of their perennial warmest year forecasts and the interruption in global warming. What they do not admit is that the PDO flip to negative means La Ninas and not El Ninos will be more frequent for the next few decades meaning more cool years than warm. And of course there is no mention of the warm PDO from 1977 to 1998 that led to the two decade warming thanks to a predominance of El Ninos.

The guest in the El Nino Community Preparedness Summit in Santa Monica, California, was the Vice President of the United States Al Gore. It was another opportunity to him to propagate the scary vision of a warmed globe. The main point was the super El Nino event of that year. Gore took advantage of the scene to forecast a future without La Nina events. El Nino events, according to him and his fellow scientists, would become permanent. “For those who argue that global warming is already changing the world’s climate, this year’s El Nino weather front is more than enough evidence”, the audience was told by Gore. In the next day, a report by the San Francisco Chronicle said: “Gore links El Nino to Global Warming”. The Vice President stated at the summit that growing frequency of El Nino episodes could be connected to the gradual heating of the atmosphere caused by emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

October 14th 2007. Gore is the most celebrated name worldwide. He got an Oscar, then an Emmy and just two days ago a Nobel Peace Prize. There are no more awards to win. He got all. But there is an inconvenient truth to Mr. Gore exactly ten years after that conference in Santa Monica. An ironic truth. The same Pacific that makes Santa Monica one of the most attractive places in California is answering to the claims it would be permanently warm in a global warming era. Gore’s theory bankrupted exactly ten years after its release. The largest ocean in Earth is much colder than average and global climate starts to feel the impacts of a moderate La Nina event that may reach the strong threshold.

NOAA’s Multivariate ENSO Index for September reached its lowest value for that month of the year since 1988. It was the second largest one-month drop on record for this time of year. The -1.1 value was last seen in late 1999 and early 1989. According to the RSS MSU satellite data, September 2007 was the 7th coldest month among 81 months since January 2001. It has made it to the 9% of the coolest months of the 21st century so far, ICECAP reported. The Southern hemisphere was 0.015 Celsius degrees cooler than the long-term average, fifth coldest month since January 2001. Brazil’s MetSul Weather Center chief-meteorologist says this is clear evidence that Joe D’Aleo and other scientists claim that the higher frequency of El Nino events promoted global warming and not the contrary is correct. “Al Gore declared ten years ago that El Nino episodes were a consequence of global warming while historic data prior and after that claim shows El Nino is in fact a cause of warming since the Great Pacific Shift in the 70’s”, said meteorologist Eugenio Hackbart. MetSul Meteorologia expert also stated there is no coincidence that this La Nina of 2007 is taking place right during the 11-year solar minimum cycle. “Major La Nina events were recorded around the solar minima in the last decades”, said Eugenio Hackbart. It will take some more years to “Mother Nature” to dismiss some or all of Gore forecasts, but earlier predictions made by him are already proving to be an inconvenient mistake.
