<< WARMENIST WARMED ~ MAIN ~ BEAST ATTACKS! >>
GORE DAY DAWNS
The Arctic Monkeys aren’t the only folk unimpressed by GoreAid. Also dismissive is Mick Hume:
Despite this patronising carnival of infantilisation, many of us seem fairly grown up about global warming. Although children report lying awake worrying about it, a survey confirms that adults remain quite sceptical about climate change alarmism. With any luck, we will be punished for this naughtiness by being sent to bed early on Saturday, and made to miss all the worthy fun of the Gore-fest.
And from Investor’s Business Daily:
The event’s organizers, promoters, celebrities and participants are engaging in one of most monumental acts of hypocrisy in memory.
All I can say is
Go the Wobblies when they line up against the South Africans - much better entertainment and no GW BS in sight
And I love the Arctic Monkeys - even though my music tastes lie in time warp way back in the past

Apparetly there is something happening in the Antarctic for Live Earth
Who knows - a penguin pop song, a sealion singalong, some whale whining - or perhaps some scientists singing

Posted by aussiemagpie on 2007 07 06 at 01:41 PM • permalinkGee, its really too bad the beach house doesn’t have TV. I’m gonna be down there all weekend fishing and sunning instead of watching a bunch of tired idjits preen. If there was a TV, I could combine both and ruin the point of having a house adjacent to one of the best beaches in the US. Oh wait, that is why we don’t keep a TV down there.
Equally nauseating are the ads in California, showing the Golden State looking like Hiroshima, apres bomb, populated with bug-eyed lost children all because of YOUR SUV, BABY! I believe taxpayers are funding the ad as well.
Methinks Gore has jumped the shark. He came out too early with his crusade and now will be a laughing stock instead of a presidential candidate six months from now.
Al Gore’s business partner speaks…
“LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch)—He often jokes that his company could be called “Blood & Gore.” But David Blood, who with former Vice President Al Gore runs an investment firm that speculates on environmentally friendly businesses, takes the prospect of running such a fund seriously…”
“Generation’s assets under management have quadrupled over the past year and now stand at about $1 billion.”
“Generation got its start in 2004, when Gore’s efforts to warn the world about the dangers of global warming were taking flight. Its portfolio, though, is actually only in its second year of existence.”
So Al got interested in “saving the planet” (through stock scams) a whole three years ago? Impressive.
“Blood won’t disclose the names of companies Generation has invested in…”
I’ll bet. Guess we’ll just have to take their word for it that their investments are cancelling out all the pollution Al and his friends spew on a daily basis, because for some reason GIM’s portfolio is top secret.
“...but the roster can run the gamut. He has said he’ll even look at oil and gas producers if Generation is persuaded they’re making an effort to clean up their acts. In a recent interview, Blood pointed to companies like oil giant BP as an example of those that strive for a more eco-friendly approach.”
ROTFLMAO. Going to offset all that CO2 you guys put out by investing in BP, are we?
You couldn’t parody the hypocrisy of Al Gore and his business partners if you tried.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 07 06 at 02:37 PM • permalinkNRO’s The Corner is reporting that Gore has abruptly added Washington, DC, with a couple of country singers and Native American groups (Cowboys and Indians?) to the list of venues.
The Corner points out that most DC area enviro-creeps will have already made plans to head up to New Jersey.
D’Oh!
I’m not particularly into the Arctic Monkeys style of music, although I do like ‘I bet you look good on the dance floor’.
“Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it’s like ‘who cares what we think about what’s happening’?”
(For those that don’t know, Sheffield, among other places, suffered some nasty flooding after the heavy rain a week or two back.)
Well said lads!
I think I’ll check out some more of their stuff.I’d like to also say this is the crappiest summer I can remember in the UK.

...Gore has abruptly added Washington, DC, with a couple of country singers and Native American groups (Cowboys and Indians?) to the list of venues.
Possibly the latter group is visiting from near the Cave Of the Winds.
Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! Update
Always follow the money!
The linked story tells you that funds go to the NEWLY CREATED Alliance for Climate Protection. They had a link so the Yojimbo followed the link.
Guess who is the Chairman of the Board of Director’s? If you didn’t say the Goreacle you should be ashamed of yourself.
Take a look at the Advisory staff. It’s a virtual lefty envioro wetdream. Just a few.
National Resouces Defense Council
Environmental Defense
Sierra Club
World Resources InstituteAnother shameless scheme to fund the unelected left power structure.
Perhaps washington DC is a continent unto itself.
Or perhaps the meant 7 Incontinents.

So they must not be open to outside investors. Because if they’re accepting investments from the public, they HAVE to say who they’re invested in.

None of that rap crap down there.
However, sadly, the show was pre-recorded and the lights,port-a-potties,SUVs,etc have caused the Ross Ice Shelf to detach from the continent, killing all bands, roadies, spectators and greenies.
Excited mommy sealions were heard exhorting their young to “eat your greens”.
Down to 6 continents now.

You are exactly correct. Al Gore’s “Green” investment group is an LLP, not an ordinary publicly traded corporation.
That means that the rest of us can’t get in on the action by buying shares, and it also, apparently, means that they aren’t required to make public exactly what it is they’re invested in.
So when big Al claims that his investments are offsetting his co2 output (which is total hogwash, anyway, you’re either pouring out co2 or you’re not), you’ll just have to take his word for it.

Posted by surfmaster on 2007 07 06 at 04:22 PM • permalink“Investor’s Business Daily nailed it.”
If they realy want to nail it they’ll start looking at Al Gore’s personal businesses and start asking some questions. Here’s some they could start with.
1.) If Al is all about saving the enviroment, as opposed to making money, why didn’t he make his investment corporation a non-profit?
2.) Why does his investment firm donate only 5% of the profits to their (supposed) enviromental foundation…with the partners taking 95% of the profits for themselves? Isn’t saving baby Gaia from a horrible heat-death more important than tawdry things like making money?
3.) Why is it that GIM is set up as a Limited Liability Partnership instead of being a publicly traded joint stock company where everyone can get a piece of the action (and also help save baby Gaia)?
4.) Why is the firm’s managing director reluctant to tell us where the firm’s assets are invested?
5.) Why is the firm headquartered in the UK instead of the United States? Easier to fight global warming in England? Or, is it because the partners personally benefit from the UK’s incorporation laws, and couldn’t give a damn about Global Warming?
6.) Why are all the founders corporate investment managers, politicians and crooked Clinton administration lawyers? Why aren’t there any climatologists or enviromental activists included in there? I mean this is about saving the planet from being boiled like an egg, isn’t it?
Inquiring minds want to know the answers to these questions.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 07 06 at 04:57 PM • permalinkO/T, but thought you wouldn’t want to miss a Great Moment in Futility.
Al Gore recently presented a ten point plan to fight Global Warming to Congress. One of the points was:
“The SEC should require disclosure of carbon emissions in corporate reporting.”
But, when it comes to Prince Albert’s investment company, then it’s a whole different story:
“Blood won’t disclose the names of companies Generation has invested in…”
How do you spell hypocrite?
G-O-R-E.
Coincidently, this is also how you spell “asshole”

Nah, he’s just trying to save baby Gaia from getting a bad case of heatstroke.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 07 06 at 05:40 PM • permalink#35 WingDynasty: While we’re on the subject of ass helmets, here’s some bad news for the Frenchman Americans love to hate. With good reason, I should emphasize.
If you’d said to me 20 years ago there’d be a cult this big based around the delusion that the earth is dying, I would have laughed in your face. Fuck me sideways.
You seriously would have to have NO KIND OF LIFE to believe in this shit.And what sort of belief system is it, when someone like Bernard Fanning of Powderfinger can get up and preach to my kids (who are the only ones listening) to only use energy when necessary, having just come back from a month in LA recording a new album with the rest of his band, flying in guest musicians from all around the world?
I mean….hullo?????? Are you serious???? is there even one tiny flickering spark of self-awareness in all this?
(....waits for echo…...)
This is a bad bad thing. If these tards are allowed their way, then the entire world suffers.
But, as they become more discredited, the hard core will become more desperate to prove they are right.
So either we submit or wait for some idjit to start something with the aim of following up on the -90% of global population “to save mother Gaia”.
It is fun to laugh at them but they may well turn into the greatest threat humanity has yet faced.
All that’s really needed for the worst case scenario to bloom into the nastiest of realities is one true believer in a position to train young minds and the authority to filter who’s allowed to pass into masters and/or PhD programs in such areas as micro biology or bio genetics.
Such a person could put together a real tight group of devotees to work a project that would get even with all the doubters and deniers.

They have recorded their contribution in front of 17 colleagues against a backdrop of icebergs.
Yeah - 7 fucking continents.
Posted by Jack from Montreal on 2007 07 06 at 09:56 PM • permalinkPersonaly, I think the Investor’s Business Daily goes too easy on Gore and his band of brain fried divas. But I guess if you were stupid enough to believe that multi-millionaire prima donna Bob Dylan was a man of the people and a poet for his generation, then I guess you’ll believe in anything.
The left used to be fond of saying that fighting for peace is like f—-ing for virginity*. Substituting “flying for the climate” for the former seems to make more sense now. If you condemn George Bush for fighting for peace, then it’s hypocritical to support flying for the climate.
*Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Al was a reporter/journalist for the US Army in Vietnam. As a Senator’s son [scion of Sen. Al Gore (D-TN)] he was expected to serve although he was not a combat soldier. (For my part, fair play to him and I appreciate his service!)
In any case, before or after he left ‘Nam and the service, I believe he spent time in Divinity School until dropping out. Perhaps he conceived his Elmer Gantry - Environmentalist schtick for the rubes there.
Kerry insists it hasn’t bothered him to watch from the sidelines as current and former colleagues — including his 2004 running mate, John Edwards — gallop past in pursuit of the Democratic presidential nomination that was his four years ago.
Considering Kerry’s 85% absentee rate and his nonexistent legislative record, when was he ever OFF the sidelines?
