  1. Now, we’re being told to prepare for 30 years of stronger than average winters, because global warming.
    If the sun suddenly vanished, in the moments before we all froze to death, somebody would get on television and blame carbon dioxide for it.

  2. As a humanitarian gesture, I’ll be sending extension cords to Cairo in order that the camels can be plugged in for the night, ensuring a reliable start up in the morning.

  3. Too bad people like Al Gore don’t stake their lives, fortunes, or reputations on their predictions. If such accountability were the norm, Paul Ehrlich, David Suzuki, Gore, and many others would be gone or silenced. The green theocracy knows no shame.

  4. Damned decent of you, I recommend you for the Order of Canada.
    Al said the Arctic would be ice free in five years,in 2007,then said it again in 2008. So, which was it,Al, was the Arctic ice free in 2012 or 2013?
    Al, maybe you should borrow John Kerry’s yacht and sail up there and take a look before Christmas, sorry,the “holidays”.
    We await your eyewitness report,big guy.

  5. His blubber would supply heating fuel for a village up there for 10 years. His greatest contribution to the cause no doubt

  6. The global warming scam suffers from the same problems as any other doomsday cult. The hucksters have to make the threat appear proximate enough in space and time to squeeze money out of the faithful with the attendant problem that when doomsday invariably doesn’t come at the predicted time or in the predicted manner, there has to be a flourish of rationalizations to explain its failure to materialize. This is then followed by even more feverish predictions of doom and gloom in order to keep the hysteria pump milking the acolytes. Witness the current nonsense about heating of the deep oceans (by a full 0.06 deg C — as though such a thing is even measurable). I’d have no problem with hucksters like Gore and Suzuki fleecing a bunch of gullible dupes. But I have a huge problem when they start hijacking and swindling taxpayers’ money via soft-headed, spineless politicians.

  7. And about 10 years ago or so the British Met Office said that snow would be thing of past in Britain about now too. I don’t feel like looking it up (even at Tim Blair’s newspaper blog) but I seem to recall Aussie Suzuki, Tim Flannery, giving a date for when all the Australian coast would be under 50 metres(!!!) of new seawater too. It’s lucky everyone died in 1990 when the 1970’s prediction of running out of food, oil and water were supposed to wreak havoc on the world were made.

  8. Honest prognosticators said “if you want your polar ice caps, you can keep your polar ice caps, period”. THEY did not get rich off their predictions; Al Gore has increased his net worth quite nicely. The environment makes for good talking points but at the end of the day-business is business.

  9. There is free ice at the north pole – lots of it! If Eskimos were properly groomed liberals, Al Gore could sell it to them, but without a dumbed-down captive audience, he’s nothing.

  10. Al Gore is one of the selected leaders of the Progressives, the unholy alliance of Liberals,Democrats and NGOs.
    This scam, designed to move money from the many, to the well connected few, is a classic prog play.
    The majority of the cogs, who created CAGW were employed in the bureaucracies of the democratic nations of the world, look to Canada’s Liberal party, then their intermarriages with the Democrats in the USA, the UN agenda.
    Those who promote huge unaccountable government, do have an agenda.
    The most basic being the theft possible, when one controls flows of other peoples money.
    Then come the regulations,using the armed force of government, to protect your monopoly.
    Lying to promote the cause? A natural behaviour for the “Progressive”, self honesty and truth are alien, hence their natural affinity with the Moslem creed of misinforming the infidel.
    Rant aside, this odious lump of protoplasm, was almost elected President of the USA, he does not exist in a vacuum, for he is and was supported by an amazing number of vacuous voters.

  11. Psalm 146:3-4
    English Standard Version (ESV)
    3 Put not your trust in princes,
    in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
    4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
    on that very day his plans perish

  12. I highly recommend the Stanfield’s double layered long underwear with the inner layer being merino wool, it’s very warm, they last reasonably long, and they wash in a regular manner without shrinkage even with the wool content.
    A couple of weeks ago, Sears had them at 40 or 50% off. A bargain.

  13. I live on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Right now, its -12, last night it was -15. It was like this all last week. That might not sound cold to the prairie boys and guys from the north, but it is rarely this cold here and it has never been this cold before mid January or February. I feel really ripped of. I want my global warming!!!

  14. -27C at the South Pole today a week before the longest day of the year for there
    And all of North America and Europe in the freeze.
    Surprised there is not an app to show the average world temperature which should be 15c. +\- 0.01 over a century

  15. minus 15 with wind and snow in eastern Ontario. minus 21 wind chill. I just love global warming.

  16. Gore’s Global Warming Secret
    You’ll never guess what initially inspired Al Gore’s “temperature” mania – the one that’s raised our tempers.
    Well, Gore is from Tennessee where you can hear Bible belt preachers warning about “Hell fire” in the next life.
    And Gore, concerned about this life, is surrounded by those who also know about the prediction in Revelation (chapter 16) of the coming time when a change in the sun will result in humans being “scorched with great heat”!
    It wouldn’t be convenient if folks were to discover that Gore, a liberal, was influenced by the handbook closely associated with Christian fundamentalists!
    If Tennessee fundy preachers could look at the same predictions-packed apocalyptic book and stretch forward in time some future events, Gore could surely do the same thing and stretch forward the “great heat” and turn it into cold cash.
    All of us are well aware of the incredible influence that the Gore-orrhea plague has had on the whole world including the White House!
    But Gore’s overlooked another Bible verse which says that “there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed.”
    The real “inconvenient truth” is that the SS Al Gore is now stuck in ice – and what we need is a Gorebreaker!
