AlGore Smackdown!

Since you probably won't hear this in the deadstream media, I'll help you out by posting this link, consisting almost exclusively of quotes from Rep. Joe Barton of Texas. Rep. Barton was responding to the testimony of former Vice President and current excessive carbon emitter AlGore before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and just lays him out.

Here's the link to the WorldNetDaily article: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54808


Notice also the quote by Czech President Vaclav Klaus:

"It becomes evident that while discussing climate we are not witnessing a clash of views about the environment, but a clash of views about human freedom," the Czech leader has said.

"As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants," said Klaus, responding to questions posed by the two lawmakers. "Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism."

(Here is more from President Klaus, which makes me even more impressed with him. Here is the full text of his letter to the committee.)

AlGore has become the high priest of this cult of Gaia, and he has the deadstream media shilling for him at every turn. But President Klaus is absolutely correct: this is a religion, and nothing less. Hey, I thought we had a separation of Church and State! That would make all these treaties null and void because it would be an establishment of a religion by the State. Can't have that now, can we?

Al - the answer to your issue is Capitalism, but you can't admit it or the entire house of cards that is your personal philosophy and worldview would fall apart. I already buy the fluorescent bulbs you want everyone to buy. Why? Because energy costs keep going up and it's worth it to keep my bills down! My next vehicle will be one of those new low emission diesels. Why? BECAUSE THEY GET 50MPG! There is an economic incentive for me to do these things, because costs are so high. If gasoline were still 79 cents a gallon, I probably wouldn't consider it, but at $2.50 plus per gallon I will.

Of course your argument will be that we need to impose taxes to get the prices up so everyone will do what I am doing but you must also realize that government can't manipulate market forces. That is what has let us to the economic catastrophe that is waiting to happen. Remember Ronaldus Magnus: "Government isn't the solution to the problem - government *is* the problem."
