Gorbal Warning




If you haven't heard anything about Al Gore and global warming, then you must have been under a rock somewhere. The media love promoting this guy, his movie, and now his Nobel Prize. Of course, you have to be a little skeptical about this whole thing. We are now getting climate lessons from the guy who "invented the internet". It's amazing to me how much Kool-Aid the public will drink without even thinking about it. I mean, how many times does the New York Times have to lie and involve itself in so many scandals before it loses it's integrity? I guess that just continues to prove that people don't really care to know the truth, just what they want to hear.

Here are a few quotes posted by Tim Blair on the topic of Al Gore.

"Al “No Errors” Gore in that perfectly accurate
movie
of his: We can’t sell our cars in China today because we don’t
meet the Chinese emissions standards. The US has been selling cars in China
for years. And now: General Motors Corporation and its Shanghai General Motors joint venture have signed a multi-year agreement, worth more than US$800 million, to export American-built Buick Enclave SUVs and other vehicles and components to China, beginning in 2008. The Enclave is built in Lansing, Michigan ... The Buick agreement is the second of two China export agreements signed by GM this year; in May, the company signed a deal to export US$700 million worth of Cadillacs and components to China from the U.S. Let’s hope they continue to meet China’s strict emissions standards. "


In addition, here is a quote from a great article by Mark Steyn on this topic. Mark is intelligence with comedy and you need to read his stuff. If nothing else, he will make you laugh!

"A schoolkid in Ontario was complaining the other day that, whatever subject you do, you have to sit through Gore’s movie: It turns up in biology class, in geography, in physics, in history, in English.
Whatever you’re studying, it’s all you need to know. It fulfils the same role in the schoolhouses of the guilt-ridden developed world that the Koran does in Pakistani madrassas. "


As Tim Blair said, "In the West, we study the Goran"
