Up to our ears in Al Gore’s ‘climate change’ snake oil
By Wesley Pruden
The Washington Times
Al Gore and his traveling medicine show is back in town with his new, improved snake oil, guaranteed to grow hair, improve digestion, promote regularity and kill roaches, rats and bedbugs. Al and his wagon rumbled into town on the eve of “a major forthcoming report” from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is a panel of scientists affiliated with the United Nations. Their report is expected to buck up the spirits of the tycoons of the snake-oil industry.
A snake-oil salesman’s lot, like a policeman’s, is not a happy one. There’s always a skeptic or two (or three) standing at the back of the wagon, eager to scoff and jeer. The global-warming scam would have been right up Gilbert and Sullivan’s street. Would Al and the U.N. deceive us? No! Never! What! Never? Weeeell, hardly ever.
The New York Times, a faithful shill for Al’s snake-oil elixir, following the wagon from town to town, got an advance copy of the U.N. report and gives out with the “good” news: It’s a “near certainty” that humans are responsible for the rising temperatures of recent decades, and warns that by the end of the century all the little people — small children, midgets and others whose growth was stunted by drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes at an early age — will be up to their belly buttons in salt water. The seas will rise by more than three feet.

The United Nations report will be out next week. The study was completed by a consortium of scientists. Making fun of the report will not solve any problems. Multiple research projects have come to the same conclusion. I am not aware of any research that disproves climate change. The deniers need their own research.
“Scientists” working at the UN try bureaucrats who think al gore discovered the internet lol
#2. That is the type of response that does nothing to educate anyone. Putting the word scientists in quotes does not remove their credentials. Just respond to the scientific report with your own. Do not quote someone from a blog somewhere on the internet.
From NASA.gov. https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus
“Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.”
yes and who are these “scientists ” , not getting funding to study global warming I mean cooling , climate change yea that’s the ticket are they ?…
question so the weather globally has changed for 100 of thousands of years but this time you are sure man did it… that’s believable
It is really difficult to answer your question “who is not getting funded?”. How do you research something that you claim is not happening?
Here is more info for you. https://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/2/024024/article
I don’t know weather its happening or not and neither does anyone , fact is even if the weather is “changing” , who says this is normal …there is still little or evidence links man actions . Why did the dinosaurs go extinct, why was there 7 feet of snow on the ground during the battle of Trenton ? ….the weather changed .
Global Warming climate change or what ever you are calling it now is nothing more than a dooms day cult and a bunch of governments looking to tax all human action because if you are a carbon based which we are you generate carbon .
“climate scientists “
#7. You shoult read up on it. It is not about a heat wave or a cold snap. It is about gradual change over time.
which has never ever happened before ?????????????????
12,000 years ago, climate change in NJ melted the glaciers and left us with the land we live on today. Where was the outrage???
Since then, we have warmed, cooled, etcetera. Oceans have risen and receded… One only needs to read the geological history of Bermuda as its been under the sea several times.
Drop the agenda and deal with the change. I’m not advocating pollution but let’s be sensible. Stopping all forms of use of fossil fuels is nonsense. Science is working on alternatives every day. The next fuels for widespread consumption are on the verge of going mainstream in the near future.
As long as governments look at climate change as a tax ATM (or Eco-millionaires like Al Gore), we should all be wary.
There has been an overall warming trend. A trend is not a straight line, it accounts for the heating and cooling.
#7. If you had read the rest of the article that you Googled about the last melt 12,000 years ago you would have seen this “Twentieth century sea level trends, however, are substantially higher that those of the last few thousand years”.
so the earth is warmer than during the period of the dinosaurs ???
