Al Gore is at maximum tilt!
Isn’t flying around the world in jetliners, itself adding to Greenhouse?
Posted by WeekByWeek on 2006 09 12 at 02:47 AM • permalinkSince Algore has become “enlightenized” I wonder if he’s gonna do a name change like this Cyril Henry Hoskin guy?
If you tilt a pinball machine it’s game over. You tilt a frequent flying, doomsayin’ eco-nut and you access a hidden bonus round.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 09 12 at 03:00 AM • permalinkYou guys in the US actually let this guy close to the White House once? But we here in Oz know how you feel - we had a near miss with a Latham a coupla years ago.
Can. you. imagine. A situation with Gore as President and (US hating) Latham as Prime Minister.

Posted by surfmaster on 2006 09 12 at 03:57 AM • permalinkDont tell anyone, but this is also why the US invented the internet and mmorpg.
If things go really bad, we can have ourselves digitized and instanced permanently into the mmo of our choice.
This is why we also duped the Algore into taking credit for inventing the internet.
This way, when we all disappear into the game world of our choice, the islamobeasts will get really miffed. When miffed they need a head for chopping. Algore, as the “inventor” of the escape mechanism which cheated the islamobeasts of their full ration of choppable heads will have to pay the price for us all.
That serves to ensure that he doesnt follow the rest of us and mess up our game world with his constant “ewww..it’s hot in here” whining.Call me crazy, but Al Gore looks like a very good female Al Gore impressionist these days. It’s kinda disconcerting.
Must come from driving a Prius.

He’s trying to dupe us into lowering the global temperaturs enough to form ice bridges from Antartica to the continents so he can invade with his Penguin Army!!!
I heard he may be running for President again in 2008?
Could this be true?
I guess he’ll have a secret weapon, having created the internet and all, web pages have a secret button that on big Al’s command will default to his message on global warming, thereby guaranteeing him total media control( a Democratic wet dream).He’s got that smug, smarmy look that most self-appointed leftie intellectuals have - ie, “you peasants are too stupid to understand the issues”.
Whitlam, Keating, Beazley, Rudd et al have it too.

All y’all in Oz. Sorry, but you really should work on your airport security/screening systems.
The dreaded Algore critter made it through your defenses, not our fault. Possession (or lack there of in this case) is 9/10ths and all that.
He’s aaaaaaall yours.He’s got that smug, smarmy look that most self-appointed leftie intellectuals have - ie, “you peasants are too stupid to understand the issues”.
Really? I think his expression and pose say “I just made a mess in my pants”.
Posted by Rob Crawford on 2006 09 12 at 07:42 AM • permalinkI would not underestimate Gore and his associates - The Germans made the same mistake during the 1930’s when the elected the National Socialists into the German parliament.
Nor would I poke too much fun at him - if they ever get into power, they may well settle scores probably by the latter\-day equivalent of the 1930’s and 1940’w - the Lawyers-from-Hell.
#35 LOL!
Btw, Aussies don’t forget Penn & Teller are examining/debunking globule warming on Channel 9 at 10.35pm tonight.
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2006 09 12 at 08:20 AM • permalinkANTHONY Albanese: Does the minister recall dismissing Al Gore’s climate change documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, as “just entertainment”? Is the minister aware that the film documents the scientific consensus that global warming has led to a significant increase in both the duration and intensity of hurricanes and cyclones, and that this is consistent with the Howard Government’s own Climate Change: Risk and Vulnerability report, which it received in July last year? Minister, what was entertaining about Hurricane Katrina?
Ian Macfarlane: There are three places I do not go for advice on climate change. One of them is to unsuccessful candidates for the US presidency who cannot even convince their own people that they are right. The second place is the movie ... The third place is the Labor Party, who promote a policy that will cost jobs in Australia ... The Labor Party is asking us to ratify Kyoto and cost Australian jobs, particularly jobs in the coal industry.
Gore isn’t quite as green as he’s led the world to believe….
Gore has held these apocalyptic views about the environment for some time. So why, then, didn’t Gore dump his family’s large stock holdings in Occidental (Oxy) Petroleum? As executor of his family’s trust, over the years Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock. Oxy has been mired in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.
Living carbon-neutral apparently doesn’t mean living oil-stock free. Nor does it necessarily mean giving up a mining royalty either.
Humanity might be “sitting on a ticking time bomb,” but Gore’s home in Carthage is sitting on a zinc mine. Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.
The issue here is not simply Gore’s hypocrisy; it’s a question of credibility. If he genuinely believes the apocalyptic vision he has put forth and calls for radical changes in the way other people live, why hasn’t he made any radical change in his life? Giving up the zinc mine or one of his homes is not asking much, given that he wants the rest of us to radically change our lives.
Oh then there is the little thing with scandals…
Gore Pleads Ignorance On Buddhist Fund-Raiser
GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AllPolitics, Oct. 22)—Vice President Al Gore says he didn’t know the April event he attended at a Buddhist temple in California was a fund-raiser.
I have two opinions of Al Gore…Fat and Stupid.
El Cid, the Caney Fork is also a trouttrout stream. The polluting of this river is a bigger threat to its wildlife population than global warming.
Posted by Some0Seppo on 2006 09 12 at 09:28 AM • permalinkHe’s not really leaning to the right. It’s the coriolis effect. It happens when you cross the equator you know. But wait, in the southern hemisphere, air moving from high to low pressure is deflected to the left by the Coriolis force and vice versa in the northern hemisphere. So why is he leaning to the right? Maybe for once he’s shut up and there’s no air moving around him at all.
But all seriousness aside, I’m at a loss, it’s beyond me, I can’t explain it. Maybe the inventor of the internet and a world renowned climate scientist can do better.
Posted by Whale Spinor on 2006 09 12 at 09:31 AM • permalinkthat man’s about as carbon neutral as loy yang. not that there’s anything wrong with loy yang. it’s much more impressive than mr internet-inventor, not least because it can’t speak. & the lift thingy to the top of its stack is scary fun (or was 20 years ago - perhaps the nannies have scrapped it). gotta love a power station. and the innards of a really big ship. or a big particle accelerator. oil refineries are kinda cute too

Al Gore’s body has probably been taken over by a Peruvian Llama.
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2006 09 12 at 10:42 AM • permalinkSome0Seppo
the Caney Fork is also a trout stream
Well SOS, it still is. PLUS, after eating the trout, one gets the added benefit of having Barium (good for those fluoroscopes). Iron (good for pulling the little magnets off refrigerators). Zinc I mean, everyone should have a zinc to clean the trout in…so you see, Zinc trout are an all in one.
So Fat Albert, is doing us all proud…:).

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2006 09 12 at 10:18 PM • permalinkGood opinion piece today in The Australian about the hypocrisy of “celebrities” like Gore whose personal behaviour is vastly at odds with the message they preach.
BTW Gore’s ‘publicists’ apparently prevented His Girthness from speaking with Andrew Bolt.

Mr Gore needs to understand a certain cultural quirk of ours - in Australia there is a direct correlation between credibility and eyebrows.
