Aw Schucks

Mon, Mar 1, 2010

THE Al Gore finally crawled out from beneath the rock of obscurity to profess the trivial nature of Climategate. The former VP has written an Op/Ed piece for the most sympathetic of major circulars in America, The New York Times. His new assertion is that “the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years” is inconsequential to his lucrative Global Warming movement. Oh, Mr. Gore, if only it were so dismissible.

Just to be clear, the mistakes to which Al Gore refers by the scientists involved in studies on climate change are not minute. The mistakes by Phil Jones, the Godfather of Global Warming, are monumental in that they shake the foundation of every piece of data from which the rest of the scientific community bases their assessments. Similarly, should a builder of a custom home make a mistake or two on the measurement of a bookshelf or countertop, the house does not fall. But, if that builder fouls on the composition of the cement or the angle of exterior walls, the structure will crumble. The foundation of global warming has been rocked with the errors which Mr. Gore dismisses so quickly. He is well aware of the instable works of the Global Warming propagandists; it’s the reason he has repeatedly turned down offers for engaging and enlightening debates with leaders of the counter-movement like Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com.

Long the face of the Global Warming movement, Al Gore has made millions from legislation and investments in “green” goods and propaganda. After quickly dismissing the falsehoods of Professor Jones of the University of East Anglia and the erroneous reports of Himalayan glacier withdrawal, Gore transitioned into an admonishment of the US Senate and the global community for not passing restrictive and prohibitive Cap and Trade legislation and binding universal emissions goals. The long term goals of the Tennessean are evident throughout any of his Global Warming “warnings”: the wealth of the Gore’s.
