Counter Point

Al Gore is nuts. I don't know if losing the 2000 election sent him over the edge or if he just hid his insanity well until after that, but the man is obviously crazy, and every American--left and right--should be grateful that George W. Bush kept him out of office by winning in 2000. The Oval Office would have been lined with tin foil by mid-2001.

Seriously, what medication is the man pretending to swallow and then spitting out when his nurse looks away?

Climate scepticism is the new racism, Al Gore has told an interviewer.

Ah, it has come to this:



To be fair, it isn't just Gore who has descended into wackyland. As Delingpole notes, he and others he cites are just examples of what they've lowered themselves to:

So we see that in each case above, the response of the left-liberal political/media establishment to a contentious subject in which it is losing the argument is not to fight back with better arguments but simply to close down the debate altogether with smears, lies and authoritarian bullying.

As far as I can see, they aren't battling science issues--they are battling heresy from their belief system. So all I can do is note that mine eyes have seen the glory of the greening of the Al as the source of his mental health issues.

Really. I am so close to interpretive dance.

Now go and emit no more.

UPDATE: Climate McCarthyism? I think not. So Doctor Spencer (of NASA) and Doctor Braswell say the climate models aren't adequate because they don't explain (or predict) the last decade of flat temperature. Obviously he must be silenced for stating the obvious. And the journal editor, too, of course:


Well, you can imagine what happened next. Not content with attacking Spencer and Braswell for their heresy, the Climate Inquisition has forced the resignation of the editor of the Journal of Remote Sensing. Better still, they seem to have given him the full Rubashov treatment and forced a confession [by getting the editor to say the peer-reviewed article “should not have been published.”]


This is Excommunication territory. Spencer's suspicious Christianity is the dead give away. (Tip to Instapundit.)

This is not science. This is a defense of Climate Change Infallibility.
