Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

More ‘hot air’ news:
New poll:
-69% of Canucks believe gw is based on science and about the same percentage said when asked : “Are you willing to lower your home thermostat and drive fuel efficient vehicles”: NO!
-12% of respondents said the science is “junk”
-19% said: “Not sure”
This news report from the weather network was a real cat’s meow this morning:
“Toronto’s humane society reports a surge in cat populations in February due to global warming: Because of a mild December, cats normally staying indoors where more active outdoors…”
Don’t get your pet neutered, blame it on global warming and send a message to governments to tax you to death instead.
BTW: I did not make this up!
The most risible thing Gore said yesterday was that the Earth had a fever. That’s the kind of rhetoric that lost him the state of Tennessee in 2000.
As for the obvious hypocrisy of owning a strip mine and buying offset credits (?) from a company he owns himself to make good his own twenty times the average consumption of electrical power… raise your hand anyone who didn’t see something like this coming.
Anyone?
Goracious sakes alive, where’s he gonna run to hide when he gets exposed?
If he’s planning on another run for the White House he may have spent all his credibility on hot air.
Of course the whole thing could become the age-old political excuse, “an honest mistake”.
The man-made global warming advocates will fight like cornered rats. Not to save the planet, but to save their reputations. No amount of science will cause them to ever, ever change their stance on this. There is too much at stake personally for them. That’s why the panic and urgency to implement changes before the general public has time to investigate and expose the truth. Time is Al Gore’s personal enemy, not our planet’s.
Whenever I hear a Gore speech the first thing you notice is he feels the need to dumb-down even the simplest of concepts to “reach his audience”…Obviously the man has contempt for the intelligence level of the Liberal left because he rants and preaches to them like they were spoiled little children…aside from the obvious megalomania this reveals in Gore, it also makes a statement about his audience. Either they like being talked down to and humiliated or they are too stupid to notice.
Carbon neutral my arse!!
Self-serving profiteering politician more likely.

Global warming (a poem)
Tim Schieferecke
In the name of the father, the son, the new socialist movement Amen,
An un-holy trinity brought forth again, healing, absolving conservative sin.
Past Bolshevik wackos killed sovereign Czars,
Bolshevik moderns want to kill cars.
On Gaia! On Sedna! On Druidish witches!
Each and all, one and all pantheist bitches.
Needful of spirit since turning from God,
Earthic fanatics believe things quite odd.
To science not proven they give full belief,
seems quite religious this life guilt relief.
Father Marx and Holy Lenin,
grant Gore their grace, absolve his sinnin.
Santo Al Gordo with Rasputin skills,
foretells earth’s future with prophetic zeal.
In Gore they’ve found their prophet of doom,
taxes on carbon America’s gloom.
Retards of the world unite!
Join Saint Gore’s glorious socialist fight!
Earth movements a ruse, it’s much more than it seems,
a sect of left’s cause to kill freedom’s sweet dreams.
Wielding well class envy’s terrible sword and sweet shield,
slashing and stabbing till freedoms are killed.
But my friends as El Rushbo much cites,
they’ve chinks in their armor, it’s time for a fight!
When attacked with the truth, their lines cannot hold,
exposed to reality lib lines cut and fold.
They’ll cut and they’ll run, but don’t let them escape,
give quarter to any they’ll soon pillage and rape.
Pillage and rape, plunder at will,
destroying fair liberties house on the hill.
While patriot peoples of all races and creeds,
strive hard to protect our thoughts works and deeds.
They don’t! These libs, like ravens at doors,
tap, tap, zap our great freedoms, never more! Never more!
We must not sleep! We dare not nap, fair liberty implores!
For if we do, we’ll fail the cause, then America no more.
Rise up! Rise up, great peoples of our land!
Fulfill, protect God’s purpose, America his great plan!
America the beacon, the fair light upon this earth,
we must endure, we dare not sleep, give socialists no berth!

Dean Barnett who posts at Hugh Hewitt has a great insight into what makes Al Gore tick. Having failed at what he was raised to do – be president – Gore is trying to compensate by saving the world.
——
I have spent much of the day listening to Al Gore prattle on about methane, ice caps and precious carbon neutrality. Please, don’t weep for me. It is my responsibility to monitor such things so you don’t have to. Besides, the afternoon wasn’t wasted. After watching hours of the erstwhile Veep’s congressional testimony, I think I finally understand him . Ultimately, he is a tragic if unsympathetic figure. Has there ever been a man who so desperately hungered for greatness who was so thoroughly suffused with mediocrity?
The story of Gore’s life story is familiar, but at this hour of great prominence for him, certain aspects of it warrant revisiting. When he was born, Nashville’s Tennessean heralded, at the insistence of his father, Senator Al Gore Sr., young Al’s birth with a front page story. Gore was raised to be great; he was raised to be president. And he bought into the mission wholeheartedly.
But there was one problem: Gore was an individual of no great talent. His intelligence wasn’t noteworthy. Neither were his social or athletic skills. Perhaps most importantly, he wasn’t a natural at the backslapping and glad-handing that are such vital aspects of the political game. Even in college, young Al threw up before delivering his first public speech.
But Gore’s parents programmed him from the beginning to march on the presidency. And he bought into the plan, no questions asked. He always knew with an unnerving moral certainty that he should be president.
ALAS, GORE’S DREAM HIT THE ROCKS in 2000 in what was probably the second most gut-wrenching defeat in the history of our presidential politics. Coincidentally, his fellow Tennessean, Andrew Jackson, takes the crown for having endured the most painful loss. Jackson responded to his loss stoically and methodically. Four years later he swept to power with ease.
Gore, on the other hand, was lost after his defeat. Not only had he lost, all of his weaknesses as a politician had become manifest. His natural arrogance and condescension permanently alienated people who were friends and supporters. His tin-ear for politics led him to ludicrously posture as a populist even though he had served as Vice President during a time of unprecedented prosperity and public content.
The defeat to a man he so obviously considered unworthy undid Gore. The predetermined “fact” that he would one day serve as president was no longer certain. Indeed, it became doubtful. So, where does a guy for whom becoming president would have been just an adequate and expected accomplishment go when that ambition turns out to be beyond his reach?
HE RESOLVES TO SAVE THE WORLD! That’s what Al Gore has done. He has identified a problem that in his telling threatens our very existence, and only he can save humanity from the gruesome fate that awaits. Yes, this new Gore is a totally risible figure, but it’s who he is and it’s what he’s doing. There’s been much fun on the internets over his comparison to himself and others in Congress to the “300” who saved the day at Thermopylae, but that was perhaps his most modest comment of the day. I’ll say it again – he really believes he’s saving the world.

Fritz:
Al Gore, the American Paul Martin? 😉
I converted a colleague. He started by offering to lend me a Convenient Lie, oops, Inconvenient Truth DVD and after a few articles about junk science he no longer thinks Gore is a prophet.
Nail – head – hammer
Kinda like Paul Martin rambling on and on about the Kelowna Accord…
Gore and Martin are displaced losers looking to make their mark on history.
What really got me is that Gore didn’t simply answer “Yes” to the question posed to him. He is NOT willing to change his life. This “carbon neutral” stuff is a load of crap.
The only fever we have on earth is the one caused by the Goracle. Endlessly expelling CO2 on GW is causing GW.
To the Goracle he should take some advice:
“And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still.
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm”
(Mark 4:39)
The science on solar activity is far from complete, the Navier Stokes equations haven’t been solved, and we have the Goracle announcing a carbon neutral business plan to line his pockets.
Oh spare me the tower of Babel!
Spin mode engaged………. In the world of climate control no one likes to admit they have been conned…..(Con-artists know this ).
Scene from Anti-climate control documentary …Little old lady being interviewed by police. She is telling how she was dupped into handing over her life’s savings to buy carbon credits to help save the world. The police say this is happening all over the world and she will probably never see her money again. The old lady is crying as we see her reading the forclosure papers and the voice over saying…another victim of Al Gore’s Inconvenient truth.
I participated in the poll and ended up in an e-mail complaint session with the pollsters. The questions started out with real choices on the questions then about 4 questions into the poll gave only choices that concluded that I believed in man made Global warming. I discussed this with the polling company through e-mail and they replied that it was ok because 69% of the people being polled agreed with man made global warming so my opinion wouldn’t have changed it that much. I sat with my wife who is also a participant with her own account and she agreed that there is no way to disagree with many of the questions.Questions with lines like: Do you think that we can stop global warming in 10 years or 20? with no option for: I don’t agree with either.
He is still a politician so he answers the question he wants to. He could have said I have changed my lifestyle by being aware of how much carbon my life creates and I offset that by purchasing carbon credits.
But that would rais inconvenient questions…who were they purchased from how much would ordinary americans have to purchase to bring themselves in line, how much would that cost the average American, who gets the money…
If this is such a big problem should we really just be reducing our carbon emissions….so Mr Gore, since you have been tracking you are carbon aware how much carbon were you responsible for last year, was that an improvement over last year, and what is your projection for this year…
Once again, I like market answers to problems but carbon trading as currently constituted is a ponzi scheme…and if we really are on the precipice should we be reducing carbon emissions, sequestering carbon emissions and planting lots of trees?
I am curious, what would the carbon reduction be if everyone planted on tree in Canada….and how fast would that eat up available land?
All too silly. This thing is going to jump the shark soon….thi summer will either push us to fever pitch or kill its credibility….What was the Southern Hemisphere’s summer like this year anyway, now that they are in fall?
Global warming has been switched to “Climate Change” since people have been questioning the GHG’s as the villians , plus we all know that surveys can be skewed based on the wording of the question.
Nobody is doubting the Earth gets hot and cold
over time, the issue is the silent majority of Scientists that try to expose the flawed Science by Gore that Co2 and humans are killing the Planet and that the Oceans will rise 20 feet.
New evidence has shown that coal and Oil aren’t from dead Dinosaurs because both are found near the surface and under the Ocean beds as deep as 5000+ feet.
The Marianna trench is under 30’000 feet of Ocean and it was formed from Plate collisions , Hawaii still has lava flows from Plate pressure
to force up liquid magma .
Oil and coal is found down at the 15’000 foot level on land based drilling rigs which begs the question about how those dinosaurs got down there
while other died in Alberta’s Oil sands , and in Texas a dried river bank was exposed over time and it shows a T-rex style biped foot print with a human foot print sharing the exact erosion levels as if they were made about the same time.
For years people denied that the Titanic sank with the steerage class immigrants locked in the lower level, but finally a Robot camera and mini-sub discovered that the scissor-gate did have a lock on it to keep the poor in steerage.
Can we at least keep the Jury out until all the evidence is presented to confirm why we are expected to pump billions into a GHG crisis , my fear is that after all that money and effort we will have to rely on the experts claiming that our money did stop Global warming because it didn’t happen as they predicted.
It’s always tough to prove a negative and that’s what these zealots are preying on by a fabricate crisis and actions that will be credited for preventing it.
New evidence has shown that coal and Oil aren’t from dead Dinosaurs ”
Ive been telling people this for 2 decades and getting shouted down by ‘experts’ all that time.
For years people denied that the Titanic sank with the steerage class immigrants locked in the lower level, ”
the truth will out, the truth wil out….
It is axiomatic that:
False “PROPHETS” leads to False “PROFITS”
The disciples of an inverse ENRON.
Soccermom, you are so right about Gore and Martin.
They’re has been politicos trying to paint their butts into the annals of history as great men of their time. The reverse is happening. Gore is being questioned and has no answers. Martin is pushing what he and his Liberals had years to do on the Aboriginal file and failed to do.
Insufferable gall awards for both.
Canadian context. We will, 2% of global anthoprogenic emissions will show “leadership” by inconveniently taxing industry, reducing our standard of living Yeah, there’s a real winner with the voters, who aren’t even willing to cut down on their shower time. Understand Harper (you know, the climate criminal) bringing down more environmental legislation, including compulsory, over long term, emission reductions, with help from government (sorry, Iberia). Nuclear power soft underbelly of Kyoto cult; it will be interesting to see how they talk their way out of this one.
How did Harper outdo Dion on environment file? Hasn’t he been the most influential opposition leader since a generation? Harper understands there is a limit to Canadian’s enviro compassion, about as far as their wallets. Why, because Canadians seem to understand that no reductions, I mean leadership, from Canada, will affect human induced global warming (I mean climate change, or is it injustice). Harper is opting for a doable (long term) clean air approach, which also reduces CO2, rather than putting it to the consumer through corporate punishment. Dion has opted for splitting his vote with NDP and Bloc in QC, cynically pushing through a Kyoto bill he already knows will never see compliance. Harper is outflanking him on many issues, and Dion is stuck demanding apologies for Afghan shot. Now Holland is making allegations Stockwell Day paid someone $6000 to step aside in election. Liberals wasting their powder, MSM already taking a breather, though some are starting to wake up. Jack Layton came out of his comma, then put us to sleep with his commercials; are the NDP planning to get their vote back from Libs. Tories have lots of money, Grits have none and still haven’t paid back stolen bucks. No appetite for election at Gritland, just brave faces.
And another sack of s**t called Coderre calling for our Defense Minister to resign on a slight misunderstanding of the work the Red Cross was doing to protect POW’s, who happen to be Taliban terrorists, is so outrageous.
Where was that little Pr**ck when our soldiers were sent to the desert in green uniforms?
We really need to have more sorting out by the Speaker when the likes of Holland, who really is on a mission of smear, no matter how anemic and bankrupt his accusations are, he rants on.
The Liberals were the big losers again today.

Oh yes, Al Gore, David Suzuki’s idol.
There is 100% correlation between Gore’s tactics and that of a preacher/snake oil salesman.
Al, where exactly, are your so-called “green carbon credit dollars going ??
I watched part of the hearing. and one thing struck me is when he was asked about CO2 coming before warming or after it, he rambled on about it coming before and coming after warming in the past, but said right now it was coming before. I wish I had a clip of that statement. Anyone have it?
Lordy lordy. Get the Goricle into Global Whining rehab asap. He is over the top. He actually believes that we accept that he is doing something real by buying those funnymoney carbon credits to atone for his deluxe life style. Must think we all came down with the last shower. Put him in rehab…he is overdue for a reality check. At least he’ll shut up for a while. Maybe. Sigh.
The latest Gorphism – “the planet has a fever.”
Cry for the planet. Thank God India and China’s CO2 don’t warm the planet like ours (2%).
I love his carbon neutral argument. Neutral as in he doesn’t have to make sacrifices – you do.
Big Al was lying through his teeth yesterday, before US Lawmakers.
” ..Perhaps all this is why Mr. Gore violated U.S. Congressional rules Wednesday by refusing to provide members of the U.S. Congress with advanced copies of his testimony at two environmental hearings on Capitol Hill, and why he refused to take a “personal energy ethics pledge” to reduce his “carbon footprint.”” National Post.

With Al Gore not taking questions in Montreal, will Suzuki ?? What a frigg’in side show !!
” ..Environmentalists David Suzuki and Al Gore will present the keynote speeches of the conference in front of an audience of over 4000. This event is already sold out. Media are allowed in the hall during David Suzuki’s speech, but at the request of Al Gore’s representatives, journalists will not be permitted during his presentation.”
//mediarelations.concordia.ca/mediaroom/mediafax/2007/03/008983.shtml
Al Gore…I have one question.
If the Earth is in such peril….why don’t you become “Carbon Positive”?
ie, keep paying (what must be a “ton” of money) to the carbon credit company and lower your carbon usage?
Just asking.
Canadians need to stop watching AL GOREs big ego-trip and start thinking for themselves and watch THE GLOBAL WARMING SWINDLE
DID YOU KNOW!!!!!! GLOBAL WARMING IS A BIG HOAX!! i have heard from VERY reliable sources that global warming DOESN”T EXIST!! every dollar that the goverment gives to fight global warming actually goes to THE TALIBAN!!!the only way it can be stopped is if WE ALL BUY MORE SUVS!!!! forward this to 5 people and you will GET A SURPRISE TOMORROW!!!!
Just because Al Gore is full of… hot air, does not mean that the whole idea of Anthropogenic climate change is garbage.
Some people on this blog (Which I love) use the same stupid tired logic that we conservatives hate so much. If an idiot takes a side, I must be smart if I take the other.
Al Gore is telling us to live cleaner lives, sure he’s an asshat, but maybe we should question our wastefulness. After all, shouldn’t Conservatism and conservatism be about conservation of resources? On that note why is everyone so happy that Harper is spending like a Liberal? Shouldn’t budget expenditures go down with a government with a mandate to conserve.
God… Sometimes I think that some of the posts are written by the same idiots who think globalization is bad because GWB likes it and he “looks like a monkey”.
Kate: I am a loyal reader but this Global Warming is totally wrong because Al Gore is an idiot nonsense only detracts from an otherwise amazing blog.
Kate and many commenters on sda give reasons and links as to why the global warming science is bad.
Most here agree(check the archives) that environmentalism means clean air, water, ect AND to not waste our energy resourses. a la Patrick Moore,greenpeace.com
What we ARE against is the hoax that is Kyoto and it’s carbon credit scam. a la Suzuki.
Jon, I totally agree with you!! logic is totally stupid AND tired!! I hate it too!!! and judging arguments based on the people behind it instead of the substance of the actual argument?? yes!
Al Gore and David Suzuki should both be sent north and bet frost bite on their noses and toeses
If you haven’t seen this…
You must.
