Goracle Projecting: “They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. . .’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!”
Denial syndrome under pressure — he’s cracking.
(Colorado Independent) — The former vice president dropped in on an Aspen Institute media forum titled “Networks and Citizenship” on Thursday and railed against corporate evildoers who put profit above society.
Gore referenced the book “Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming” by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, which tells of how petroleum, steel, autos, utilities and others enlisted lobbyists to cloud the climate debate.
Gore recalled how not long ago tobacco giants “succeeded in delaying the implementation of the surgeon general’s report for 40 years — 40 years! In every one of those 40 years the average number of Americans killed by cigarettes each year exceeded the total number of Americans killed in all of World War II: 450,000 per year. My sister was one of them. . . . It was evil, evil, evil.”
The model of media manipulation used then, Gore said, “was transported whole cloth into the climate debate. And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!” Gore exclaimed.
“When you go and talk to any audience about climate, you hear them washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again,” he continued. “There’s no longer a shared reality on an issue like climate even though the very existence of our civilization is threatened. People have no idea! . . . It’s no longer acceptable in mixed company, meaning bipartisan company, to use the goddamn word climate. It is not acceptable. They have polluted it to the point where we cannot possibly come to an agreement on it.”
Gore lamented the diminished role that reason and fact-based analysis play in modern U.S. politics.
During the debt-ceiling debate, American Crossroads, Americans for Prosperity and a collection of smaller groups followed tobacco’s blueprint for bombarding the media with its messages, he said.
“Unnoticed in Washington and New York as the debt-ceiling debate was going on, the ratio of television advertisements was nine to one on the ‘Don’t-lift-the-debt-ceiling debate. Spending is the problem.’ And now we’re going to tip the country back into recession. It’s absolutely insane,” Gore said.
“Mark my words on this: we became the greatest country on earth because we made better decisions than any other nation,” he continued. “And we made better decisions because we used shared consciousness, shared reality, rule of reason, best evidence, democratic discourse, free debate to figure out what’s more likely than not to be the best decision here. It didn’t always work, but it worked a hell of a lot better. Since we adopted this new system we are making catastrophic decisions that have massive consequences. The Iraq invasion. What just happened with macro-economic policy. It really is extremely difficult.”

The Gore-acle is himself a walking Penn & Teller routine.
Its only a matter of time.. before Gore.. or someone he inspires… kills someone
Rob, wasn’t there a guy who killed his family a year or two ago to reduce carbon emissions? And the guy who went on a shooting spree at the Discovery Channel offices, was anybody killed?
Not to mention bin Laden agreed with environmental concerns…
Is he on medication? He needs to be, strong medication. The man is sounding more and more deranged everyday he speaks, or rather yells.
Do I think we all need to be environmentally responsible? of course, most resonable people do, recycle, walk if you can, ride public transit if thats avaible to you. But science is not a religion, and no way in hell with a weak economy should be straining even more industries in America, and then shipping them to China.
I say this as someone who believed the global warming crap until 2007 or so, when I started doing my own research and found out how much and many times lies have been told. Its all inconclusive and certtainly not worth changing an entire weakening economy for!
That’s interesting, weren’t Gore’s father and great grandfather in the tobacco business?
Perhaps he speaks from personal knowledge. And of course, he uses that knowledge (and that gained in Washington) to perpetuate what is now his new
scam…
Once again the Left gives credence to what is fast becoming an old adage….if you want to know what the Left is doing (or planning to do) look at what they are accusing others of doing.
Hey Al, WE WON – now go STFU!
weren’t Gore’s father and great grandfather in the tobacco business?
###################################
His father also voted against the Civil Rights Act…
and was active in the Klan…
seems Gore’s father was a bit of…a….racist…
the apple… doesn’t fall far from the tree
Not to mention bin Laden agreed with environmental concerns…
############################
Yes… that’s right the Discovery channel shooter…
Hitler was a greenie….
and so was Mussolini…
something about having control over every facet of peoples lives
Al Gore is NOT a crazed Sex Poodle! BULL SHIT!
…”the total number of Americans killed in all of World War II: 450,000 per year. My sister was one of them. . . . It was evil, evil, evil.”
But it is taxed, taxed , taxed and the gov’t is complicit in her death Al! You are complicit in her death!
Bwaaaaahhhh ahhha a haaaaa..hhaa haaa haaa….OHHHH the irony!!!!!
I thought Bull shit caused Global Warming. He needs to hush before the temperature rises!
Another on my “wish list” of assholes that I would like to see run into a 3,000 feet per second projectile! I would call that the true enviroment movement! Speaking of movements, al seems to be having trouble with his if the photo is any indication (not original, borrowed from previous WZ er posting)!
The goreacle has a separate transport jet follow him around loaded with ding dongs and hohos just for him.
all from MSNBC…
he had hostages, couldn’t find anything if he shot anyone…

Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary
‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”
Lee appears to have posted environmental and population-control demands online, saying humans are ruining the planet and that Discovery should develop programs to sound the alarm.
“I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it,” the alleged manifesto reads, adding:
“Nothing is more important than saving … the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”
==============================================
Leftists love to have their…. manifesto’s….
When this POS croaks, I will do the same happy dance in my living room that I did when blow fish kennedy went Tango Uniform!!
Why is this ahole still relevant?
It is very difficult to refute the intellectual basis for his argument. He answers the question repeatedly : What is the finest natural fertilizer for grass?

Dude, this globull warming crap has been around since 1990 or so.
You are really slow! I tossed it in the dustbin sometime around 1990.001.
Coastal Eddie:
Bullshit!
Isn’t this the same guy that invented the internet?

“Perhaps he speaks from personal knowledge. And of course, he uses that knowledge (and that gained in Washington) to perpetuate what is now his new
scam”
Or the money his parents made off tobacco!!
Some picture!! Can a human body survive that much hydraulic pressure? More to the point, can Gore’s body survive it?
Then why did he buy an oceanfront home in California?
I’m not a scientist, but I play one on WZ just to piss off Al Gore.
Weather Denier!!!
Don’t you just love it when libs get upset, the only thing they can do is come up with intelligent responses such as bullshit????? Great minds they have, no?
calm down Al, your obese, Moochelle doesn’t like that, your gonna break off a clot and send it right to your brain….. i mean head. we all know you have alot banking on the world buying this global warming bullshit.
Al Gore Jr. is a perfect example of a person who has no redeeming qualities……………….whatsoever.
“They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message:”
Hmmm….I seem to remember back when the HC debate was going on, the WH had a bunch of pseudo-doctors in white coats at a one of obama’s speeches.
Could this be…dare I say…projection?
Release the Kraken!
@J
lol…imagine that…
leftists who project their own failings… onto other people…
in a vain attempt to make themselves feel morally superior
how’s that for a king size ego…
Release the Palin!!
He just reminds me of a little kid, throwing a tantrum, screaming “Look at me! I want attention! Why won’t you look at me?!! I’m gonna make brown in my diaper if you don’t look at me and listen to me!!!”
He really is repulsive.
@ Deleware Infidel
Now THAT was funny!!
Hey zippy you are getting sloppy with ur stories. Isn’t that a pic
of Chaz Bono? Instead of AlGore?
He looks like he’s on the toilet pushing a big jimmy doogen! Be careful Big AL… your head will explode!
Gore is a good multi-tasker.
He’s both a liar and a thief.

*Ohio Dan
Also…THAT was really funny!!
Aspen Institute has strong financial ties to the Saudi royal family. See Aspen Meadows Resort.
From “hanging” chad to “hanging” by a thread.
Love it when Lefties have a temper tantrum.
Notice how violent liberals get when they lose an argument, debate, election……
That lying, thieving schmuck is just pissed because his scam unraveled before he could reap his ill gotten gains.
Al is typical Democrat trash.
Govt scientists admit to tweaking global warming findings to get funding http://ow.ly/5kKRP
Their “Global Warming” Hysteria Is Wrong, Per Latest NOAA Data – U.S. Cooling Last 15 Years http://t.co/j2Qzap4
If there’s one person in the world who knows bullshit it’s Al Gore, bullshit being the family business and all. His arguments smell like the rotting beached whale he resembles.
The SOB kinda looks like Chaz Bono don’t he
http://www.science20.com/it_was_half_what_it_today-81458
You would think with the millions/billions he has made fleecing stupid global warming believers, he would be able to pay for some dental care. His teeth look awful!
@ Weasel Meister,
C’mon now, be nice to St. Albert of Nashville!
You’d be cracking up too if you couldn’t release YOUR second chakra!!
RTS
Read the Unibomber’s rant he sounds the same as Algore. This GW bs has already killed.
Al Gore, the proponent of Global Warming and the rising of ocean waters, purchases a beachfront mansion 20 feet from the edge of water. Ummm, so I am guessing he is not predicting the rising of the waters anytime soon.
“That’s interesting, weren’t Gore’s father and great grandfather in the tobacco business?”
I didn’t remember that, but being land owners in the south it would be the logical way for them to make money.
On the other hand, I do remember Al Sr. being bought and paid for by Occidental Petroleum. Yes, that would be the same Occidental Petroleum that bought the US Naval petroleum reserves in Elk Hills, CA as part of then VP Al Gore, Jr’s reinventing government initiative. No conflict of interest or hypocrisy there, not at all.
Gore: And damnit all you women using sewing machine, why don’t you save the planet by going back to sewing with needles and thread!! You are burning up our precious resources and contributing to Climate Change!!
I get goosebumps when I think that this putz could have been POTUS.
But we got a Marxist Muslim instead, that’s progress.
Indeed: for the Gracle, bullshit was always the family business….
Al Gore? Al Gore? BULLSHIT. enough said
Poor Tipper.
Al Gore needs a good swift kick in his rear realy,realy hard and he needs his mouth washed out and his awards revoked
So how long before he goes completely around the bend, gains lots of weight, grows another beard and trots off to some univertisity to teach the religion of global warming AGAIN?
Global warming scamming took him from a couple of million after the 2000 election to something over 100 million and a Nobel. I suspect the ride back down is progressing pretty quickly… matching his complete loss of sanity.
Now if we can just get the ethonal mandates dropped and start using corn as FOOD again…
CC
I am just sooo disappointed in you ignert redheads and your silly, relentless denial of the obvious disaster we are headed for. And by the way, it not global warming anymore, I upgraded that to “Climate Crisis”. Jeebus on low-cal cracker, where’s my Cialis?
@ Ohio Dan “release the Kraken” Yeah!
Albert “Chicken Little” Gore looks like he is ready to explode. What a fool. So, Chicken Little runs around saying the climate is warming, the climate is warming. Doesn’t he know we all read this fable and know hows it ends and not well might I add. The fox got a nice belly full which equates to Al Gore getting a wallet full.
When I was growing up, I learned that what is now called climate change was actually the change in seasons Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Al Gore when he is around VULTURES and EAGLES use his rising HOT AIR thermals to soar on
