  1. Big Al is going to be in the Big Smoke tonight. Any Toronto SDA’ers out there who can go and ask Al what his thought on Climategate are?
    “Changes in the global economy continue to shape the world and the environment in which we live. Guests of the 2009 Allstream Global Forum will be the first in Canada to hear former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore share his new and compelling vision of how business can play a pivotal role in ensuring these changes are for the better through innovation and investment in new technology. Proceeds from the event, which will take place on November 24, 2009, at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto, will go to the David Suzuki Foundation and its efforts to help transform the Canadian economy in ways that are consistent with a sustainable future. Co-founded by award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster Dr. David Suzuki, the David Suzuki Foundation is a world-renowned organization committed to helping Canadians achieve sustainability within a generation. ”

  3. Have already send it to my lefty brainwashed son who understands that AGW is a step toward One World Government and the fall of Capitalism.

  4. That didn’t take long – and it is sweet. I love the alarmed Christmas tree. Is that really fat Al’s mouth in the tree?
    Kudos to the makers of this catchy tune.

  5. Bravo. A classic song made even better. I have the (hacked lol) data burned to a cd and now after hearing that song I think I am going to have to get a “Hide The Decline” T-shirt as well. Hopefully this will be a moment in history that we will all never forget.

  6. The tune was called “Draggin’ the Line”, late sixties?,Tommy James and the Shondells,I think.
    Beautiful parody of Gore and the AGW crowd!

  7. Somebody has to do a Fat AlGore now. Hey hey hey!
    I’d do it myself, but I’m not very good with animation.

  8. Hi,
    It gets even funnier!
    Try googling “climate emails” and I’m feeling lucky.
    comes up with the RealClimate site with the “sorry, the dog ate my homework” page!

  9. Love the video…humming it as I cooked dinner.
    Also, I liked the fact that Micheal Mann’s face was superimposed onto the body as the main character. Somehow it is easier to feel disgust for a scumbag when you know what he looks like.
    Micheal Mann…watch out, Senator Inhofe is coming after you, and I hope jail time is in your future.

  10. What Warren Z said at 7:35.
    Plus…
    I hope Gore ends up being Killer’s (from the video) b*tch.

  11. you should hear what Gore’s been saying about Alberta the last couple of days. oilsands, destruction, armaggedon, evil, hellfire, or something.

  12. shel,
    love to oblige – but i can. not. take. another. millisecond. of al snore.
    beauty, eh?
    yes, i am wearing my tuque. donuts anyone?

  13. Just brilliant. Just brilliant. Mockery and ridicule is just SOOOOO juaty for these arrogant bastards!

  14. Good Video.
    By the way the Sun Poll shows 85 percent don’t trust the scientists on climate change.

  15. The original Draggin the line was indeed by Tommy James, but was released as a solo single in 1971 after the breakup of the group. Now I will have that tune in my head for the next few days. Thanks for that Kate. Though the lyrics are pretty funny.

  16. Hey Pachuri, of the IPCC, has a personal web site; don’t remember the coordinates. I posted: Go back to driving trains as the IPCC is toast.
    Seek it out and do yoyur best.

  17. The left would always talk of right wing conspiracies: 9/11; Bush; WMD and so forth.
    Now we have absolute proof of a vast left-wing conspiracy between the UN, EU, AGWs and the media.
    Love it!

  18. Perfect.
    I can introduce my kids to a classic song while educating them on the eeeevilllls of social engineering.

  19. Very clever!
    And Mann, keep your stick on the ice!

  20. Great video Kate , sadly all wrong , but great none-the-less.
    Check out James Lovelocks ( you know the guy , he saved the planet once by inventing the machine which found the Ozone hole , worked as Scientist for NASA ) new book Gaia the final warning,yeah it’s all in there , then get back to video making , with all those Republicans you have got plenty of material.

  21. Wylie, I have not read the book to which you refer, but in the summary on Amazon it states “some readers will be appalled by his contention that democracy may need to be abandoned to appropriately confront the challenge.”
    That’s really what AGW and other doomsday scenarious are all about, isn’t it?
    But people are beginning to catch on to trick – pardon the pun.
    If this were just about the environment that would be one thing, but it’s not. The environment, and science, have become the carrier organisms for an underlying disease called socialism.

  22. I love the part with Gore behind bars with a couple of large size guts. Al’s going to be somebody’s bitch.

  23. After all, sustainability means running the global environment – Earth Inc. – like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.

  24. Old mo is the father of modern envirometalism.
    I wanted to find another quote, some thing about bringing down the modern industrial world, so i googled for M S quotes.
    This grease ball is one of the wizards behind the curtain.

  25. Thanks for posting the vid, smalldead.
    The Tommy James song that this song is parodying is I believe, where the term “Treehugger” comes from.
    The original lyric was “huggin a tree when you get near it” I replaced that line with “you should’ve chopped me trees instead of “huggin them”.
    Oh and I think my Hide The Decline shirt kicks but!
