Al Gore has come out of his hibernation from a long, cold, and abundantly snowy winter to say that he’s put together a three-year, $300 million AGW advocacy campaign demanding that the U.S. reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
The Alliance for Climate Protection’s campaign, otherwise known as "We", is merging the activities of advertising, online organizing, strategic partnerships, and grass-roots groups to further indoctrinate the public about the dire consequences of AGW (man-made global warming) while pressuring political leaders to force private industry and individuals to do something to save us from ourselves.
In a strategic move designed to stir up bi-partisan support, "We" have put together odd couples of politicians and activists, for instance pairing Al Sharpton with Pat Robertson and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
"This is not only an environmental issue. It’s an issue of energy independence and it’s an issue of national security. We need to all come together on this and the time to move on it is now, not later," says Lee Thomas, head of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Ronald Reagan.
The Alliance’s CEO, Cathy Zoi, has made a big deal about the fact that Al Gore has contributed much of his personal profits from his movie and book called An Inconvenient Truth, a work that a British High Court a few months ago declared contains at least 33 egregious scientific errors, at least nine of which contradict the views of Gore’s closest ally, the IPCC.
As this author has previously written on, back on December 19th of 2007, David Whitehouse, a PhD in astrophysics who was BBC Science Correspondent from 1988 to1998, Science Editor for BBC News Online from 1998 to 2006, and the 2004 European Internet Journalist of the Year, wrote in an article that statistically speaking the global mean temperature of 2007 was the same as it was in 2006 and, indeed, every year since 2001.
But the wild-eyed armies of the faithful march on as their deceitful field marshals command them.
At the same time, the United States yesterday rejected a proposal made by the Chinese government that the developed nations should put a percentage of their gross domestic product into a global trust fund to be used to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
It was a convenient proposal for China to make, given that it is considered a “developing” nation and thus would not have to abide by the same standard of giving away its wealth and hurting its economy while nothing is achieved in return, although it is currently spewing forth greenhouse gas emissions at a gargantuan and fast-increasing volume .
However, U.S. climate-change negotiator Harlan Watson says, "We believe that views we are pushing forward here will be very compatible with our next administration. We see our legacy as setting the stage for the next agreement.”
