Lynn Sweet: Gore Gives 'Best Stump Speech I Have Heard In 2008 Season'

What could possibly be the harm in over-estimating the hazards and pace of global warming, or of too directly ascribing it to human agency? So, we fix a problem BEFORE it kills us, rather than trying desperately to catch up with it when it's too late. What's the harm in that?
It sounds to me like, well, foresight.
Pointing this out sounds like leadership. Hiding from it sounds like selfish short-sighted igrorance and arrogance. And what group of people has been closely connected with this attitude as a substitute for governance?
This is easy: If bush favors something, it's bullshit, toxic and probably fatal for somebody. If he opposes it, then we should enact it immediately. When he asserted his relevance recently by invoking specters of WWIII, with the petulance of a piss-pantsed two-year-old, he was being redundant: He's absolutely relevant, as the most destructive public official in American history and pitch-perfect guide, situation by situation, in what not to do.

The best stump speech would be when a candidate calls for the impeachment of the criminals Bush and Cheney.

Well, the PAID TROLLS are out in force tonight! I guess the name of Al Gore scares the RIGHT-WING, so that they'll pay time and 1/2 (maybe even double-time!)

Too bad for them! God help them if Al Gore does run, he will WIN, and WIN BIG!!! (JUST AS HE WON BEFORE!!!)

Yes the world has a fever and the invading parasites living in the hearts of men. We can't save our planet- If we don't stop the culprits of decay.
There's a New World Order that also says-' there ways have not only failed but jepordized all that is- we are smarter than that, we have been give mental & physical abilites beyond all others - by a god or by a freak of nature. Regardless it is our responsiblity to take care of it- for us and those in the future. the '08 elections are not just about this crazy regime and it's wars. It's about a larger world view and responsiblity. Does your New World Order revolve around Corporation abilities or mankinds? Yin/Yang- which side are you on?

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny

June 30, 2007
BY JAMES M. TAYLOR


Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims.

For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."

Lynn Sweet is a horrible writer. She is a hack and

never has anything positive to say about Senator Obama

and his family.

I am from Chicago and never read her column. Still

puzzled as to why she has a contract with the Sun-Times.

The paper is in trouble and needs to do better. Getting rid of sour Lynn Sweet is a good first step.

Obviously Lynn Sweet has never listened to the stump speech of Dennis Kucinich nor read his recent interview with The Washington Post.

I think the title is misleading. You think the story is about Gore but it really is about slamming Obama which has become a habit of Lynn Sweet. Pathetic!

OH SHIT! IT'S AL GORE'S NAME IN PRINT AGAIN!

QUE THE TROLLS! Oh, they're already here. Damn!

Where's Doug and TimmySlagheap? Can we hear about the global cooling scare of the 70's again? How about CO2 is a naturally occurring gas? Has anyone mentioned carbon credits? Volcano's? Water vapor? Steven Malloy and his JunkScience?

Al Gore might as well run for the leadership of the "real" Sopranos i.e. the Mafia!

Considering the crooks,cut_throats and vicious sleazy,slime_balls who are running Wasington,Mr.Gore will have to be damn sure he can swim and ably maneuver with those kinds of sharks in the Oval Office (and survive) before he gives up his easy,award winning green job!

Al last time you were in this race they fixed the voting machines,what will they do next time?

Five follow-the-trend Supreme Court justices who ruled earlier this year that the Environmental Protection Agency had to regulate CO2 as a pollutant.

CO2 " this is information the global warming alarmists and those five justices could use " is a naturally occurring gas found in abundance in Earth's atmosphere. In the cycle of respiration and photosynthesis, humans and animals breathe out carbon dioxide and plants take it in. Americans usually learn this in grade school.

They also learn that 60 is bigger than 11 and a billion is more than a million. Such knowledge has helped us understand that animal respiration " 60 billion tons of it a year " puts far more CO2 into the atmosphere than the proposed power plants " 11 million tons a year " would have.

Understanding proportions also helps. Otherwise, knowing that man-made CO2 makes up less than 4% of all CO2 emissions is of no real use.

Blackout Of Reason

Energy: Power plant permits have been rejected in Kansas, but not because the plants would discharge filth into the air. The denial was based on carbon emissions, the first time such a thing has happened in the U.S. It's a shameful milestone.

Have global warming alarmists won? It certainly seems they've prevailed in the rhetorical battle " which is actually more powerful than the scientific war they cannot win.

Lynn Sweet - Your post makes no sense at all.

Al Gore is not accurate about all he is saying---he is running around like Chicken Little.

Like George Will-I have serious doubts about the Nobel Committee
