AL GORE IS UNSUSTAINABLE
Consider the tragic environmental cost:
I had a strange experience on Monday. I went to see Al Gore’s slide show, as he affectionately refers to An Inconvenient Truth, his exposé on global warming.
For the first time in my life, I was the only person in the cinema. I sat there for two hours, watching the advertisements, the promos and the feature itself. There was air conditioning, lighting and a projectionist, possibly, and an usher who opened the doors when the session was over, and asked me if I enjoyed the movie.
The whole event cost me $8. I thought about my personal consumption, my very personal consumption, and I thought it would have been better had the cinema posted a sign out the front saying: “This session has been cancelled due to lack of interest.”
Meanwhile, another film also addresses environmental issues. In a good way.

And, in a bid to be actually on topic, more or less I offer this:

NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS PROPOSED FOR GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS

NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS PROPOSED FOR GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS
CONTACT: MARC MORANO ( .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) ), MATT DEMPSEY ( .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) )
A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore (http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no ) and PBS newsman Bill Moyers, for his October 11th global warming edition of “Moyers on America” titled “Is God Green?” (http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts/index.html ) have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to promote their projects, is now advocating Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming. Grist Magazine’s staff writer David Roberts called for the Nuremberg-style trials for the “bastards” who were members of what he termed the global warming “denial industry.”
Roberts wrote in the online publication on September 19, 2006, “When we’ve finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we’re in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards—some sort of climate Nuremberg.” http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no
Gore and Moyers have not yet commented on Grist’s advocacy of prosecuting skeptics of global warming with a Nuremberg-style war crimes trial. Gore has used the phrase “global warming deniers” to describe scientists and others who don’t share his view of the Earth’s climate. It remains to be seen what Gore and Moyers will have to say about proposals to make skepticism a crime comparable to Holocaust atrocities.
The use of Holocaust terminology has drawn the ire of Roger Pielke, Jr. of the University of Colorado’s Center for Science and Technology Policy Research. “The phrase ‘climate change denier’ is meant to be evocative of the phrase ‘holocaust denier,’” Pielke, Jr. wrote on October 9, 2006 http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/author_pielke_jr_r/index.html#000952. “Let’s be blunt. This allusion is an affront to those who suffered and died in the Holocaust. This allusion has no place in the discourse on climate change. I say this as someone fully convinced of a significant human role in the behavior of the climate system,” Pielke, Jr. explained.
The article Global Warming: The Chilling Effect On Free Speech ( http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/1782/ ) last week in Spiked Online addresses this new found penchant by environmentalists and some media members to charge skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming with “crimes against humanity” and urge Nuremberg-style prosecution of them.

Typical of the left to come out all guns blazing to an imagined threat like global tempjihading, but then to run for cover when a despot like iowahawk acquires fireworks.

No kidding, huh?
Oh, wait!! Hold on!! You need to stop that right now buster!
There’s no *proof* that IowaHawk actually as or plans to have, or can have, or did have…or has had have any such works of fire!
You’re just making hegimonistic accusations to fulfill your corn oil needs by conquesting against the poor innocent children of IowaHawk’s lands!!
Wont you just stop and think of the children? What about the innocent children? Have you no *feelings!!?
#6 - Sure I have feelings. Mainly resentment and self hate. Funny how you never thought of the children before.
Be it upon your own head not taking this new member of the Axle of Unevenness seriously.

You are so being an eliminationist!Just because I choose to live in an alternate reality doesnt mean you shouldn’t listen to my nonsense!!
Debat is dead! And you dont care about the poor innocent children! You have no feelings!
I have to go convert to IowaHawkism and join a cell of Heros Engaging Radical People, Insugrent Extremist Subverters!
At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono asks the audience for some quiet.
Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone “Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice from near the front pierces the silence;
“Well, stop FUCKING doing it then.”Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 10 12 at 04:02 AM • permalinkI’d love to see the pro-mine film. Heck, “Mine Your Own Business” is the title of one of the greatest Scooby Doo, Where Are You? episodes of all times, the one about the Miner 49er. I expect Vanessa Redgrave to be unmasked at the end, only to turn out to be Rachel Carson. “And I would have gotten away with it too,...!”

Five minute diatribe on Christian Zionists visiting Israel for a convention to show support to Israel’s right to exist.
Promo by presenter and said in item..
“Christian Zionists are OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS”
and “Father Peter M? (didn’t catch name),a Palestinian Theologian says Christian Zionists don’t like Palestinians or Arab Christians.They (reinforce the notion by Palestinian Muslims that Christians support Zionists.) FIVE minutes!
Followed by Phat’s Little Wireless Programme in which, first up he phantasises about going home early,invites his female guest(was it Liz Costello or Inge?) to “come closer to the microphone m’dear”.
Second up, after she has reminisced about her father in WW1 and Anzac Day being special…Phat immediately assumes a tilting pose and cries..“I found Anzac Day a GRIEF STRICKEN day as a boy and even SIMPSON AND HIS DONKEY (were very important to him).
HUH ..that’s the first I’ve heard of it.
I have heard him being very vitriolic about the RSL,the defence forces,war etc.
Prize hypocrite.A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore and PBS newsman Bill Moyers . . .have deemed respectable enough to grant one-on-one interviews to promote their projects, is now advocating Nuremberg-style war crimes trials for skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming.
I was only following orders! GM threatened to cut me off from all gainful employment if I didn’t buy an SUV! And look at all the good I tried to do. I hid Prius owners in my cellar. I recycled newspapers. I haven’t flown in an airplane for years. I’m not like Iowahawk or Tim Blair. I didn’t want to be a party member. I’m not really one of them. Waaaahhhh!!!
Hmmm.
Hah! IowaHawk’s rocket batteries? That’s nothing!
I, the Great Leader, of New Jerseystan here in the debacle that is America will soon have the ultimate weapon! A weapon that will cause great consternation in all the blog nation!
The lighter fluid fueled Super Tennis Ball Cannon!
As it is still currently under development and thus continues to require further funding, all “food aid” can be forwarded to ...

Posted by andycanuck on 2006 10 12 at 11:37 AM • permalinkFor the first time in my life, I was the only person in the cinema.
I have a feeling most of the people who saw Big Wooden Al’s movie had that expereince.
