The World According To Carl

In a recent column published in the Tennessean newspaper, nationally syndicated radio talk show host Phil Valentine effectively skewers the ongoing Al Gore bowel movement in regards specifically to the global warming nonsense being spewed forth like coal chimneys running past maximun output to deliver energy to China. A portion of Valentine’s column makes some excellent and salient points:

Al Gore, the Jim Jones of this new religious cult, preaches doom and gloom from his pettifogger pulpit, all the while living the lifestyle of an energy hog. He actually uses twice the amount of electricity in one month at his Nashville home than the average household uses in an entire year. He has two homes in Tennessee, one in Virginia, at least. He flies all over the world on his Magical Hysteria Tour, sucking down resources and belching out tons of carbon, all to tell us we need to conserve. We’re trying to make ends meet just to afford gas in our cars while Al Gore has a carbon footprint the size of Sasquatch. And no one seems to care.

The Branch Algorians read from the Gospel of Al and never question a word. The movement’s devil is carbon dioxide, an essential component of photosynthesis and the substance we all exhale with every breath. Understand this: CO2 is not a pollutant. However, Gore and the radical environmentalists have been quite successful in convincing people that smog and CO2 are the same. They are not. CO2 has nothing whatsoever to do with the smog or haze we see over our cities. There is absolutely no evidence that CO2 has anything to do with any kind of warming.

The Gore Kool-Aid drinkers will point to “all these scientists” but can’t give you one link between CO2 and any kind of climate change. As the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, recently put it, global warming is the greatest scam in history.

Valentine also points out the extremism of the global warming mentality using Professor Roger Gottlieb as an example and mentions that Gottlieb is also very pro-socialism and manages to link Gottlieb’s rabid global warming “chicken-little-ism” with his socialistic bent.

The bottom line is that there is more credible evidence showing that global warming is a natural, cyclical occurance of which humans have absolutely no control. It’s going to happen whether we like it or not. And sometime down the road, there will be a period of global cooling? Why? Because that’s what nature DOES. I am old enough to remember Newsweek’s big exposé on the coming ice age due to global cooling. That was back in the 70’s and even the networks picked up on it. It was human beings’ fault, they collectively cried. Well, they were wrong then just as they are wrong now. The global warming hysteria is just that…hysteria. I didn’t buy the hysteria of global cooling on the 70’s. I didn’t buy the Y2K hysteria at the turn of the century. And I’m not buying into the global warming hysteria now.

Folks, “carbon offsets” are the 21st century equivalent of the junk bond scandals of the 80’s. Anyone spending money on that nonsense is throwing it all away in order to feel good. It accomplishes nothing but to line the pockets of greedy scam artists like Al Gore and others. I’m not buying into it and neither should any rational person.

However Al Gore and the rest of the global warming alarmists are proving P.T. Barnum wrong: it’s more like every 15 seconds.
