Interesting Gore history verifies his mindset

"Gore's crusaders"
By Pranay Gupte and Bonner R. Cohen
Highlighted Quote: "The vice president is a powerful man because he controls
environmental regulation, and environmental regulation pervades our lives."
THE VICE PRESIDENCY, someone once said, is a spare tire on the automobile of
government. (It was John Nance Garner<FDR's veep for the first two terms.)
But in today's technologically complicated and heavily regulated society, a
vice president can be very powerful indeed. He can have a large and lasting
impact on the way you lead your life and the way you run your business.
Al Gore is obsessed with protecting the environment, and he has the means to
put his beliefs into law. He has seeded such bodies as the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Council on Environmental Quality and the Department
of Energy with his friends, acolytes and ex-staffers; from those positions
the Gore-ites hold sway over a large part of the federal regulatory
apparatus. And in the environmental arena the regulatory apparatus cuts a
wide swath. The EPA alone expects to issue 462 of the 4,560 planned rules
that will eventually find their way to the Code of Federal Regulations.
In the environmental sector Congress has, in effect, ceded lawmaking power
to the executive branch. It had to. There is simply no way that legislators
could themselves run the experiments and make the scientific judgments that
determine the details of pollution control or energy conservation. And how
is Vice President Gore on science<the science of global warming or resource
scarcity or hazardous chemicals?
"The things Gore believes aren't supported by facts," says William Happer, a
Princeton University physics professor who worked at the department of
energy from 1991 to 1993. "He is surrounded by like-minded people, and they
all want to save the world. That's a recipe for disaster."
Gore gave America an alarmingly revealing peek at his environmental
extremism in his 1992 bestseller, Earth in the Balance, a bleak tome on our
"dysfunctional" society that was devoid of any recognition of the potential
of science and technology to improve lives.
Reared on national politics and the son of a U.S. senator, Gore has pursued
his agenda as the most powerful vice president in modern history. Clinton
delegated to him much of the turf that will define our future: the
environment, energy, technology, information systems, housing. He is
Clinton's main conduit to the social and economic development programs of
the United Nations, covering such issues as climate change and population
control.
The regulatory efforts of the vice president's loyalists are taking hold.
One irksome example: The Department of Energy, a backwater brimming with
Gore lieutenants, is seriously considering dictating that all domestic
washing machines be front loading rather than top loading. Front loaders use
less hot water<never mind that they also require smaller loads, or that
America's white goods aren't exactly draining the national power supply. New
standards for ovens, water heaters, fluorescent lamps and air conditioners
are in the works at DOE. Who's energy secretary? It is William Richardson,
previously U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and, before that, a congressman from
New Mexico.
Gore's kitchen cabinet on environmental issues also includes Carol M.
Browner, whom he persuaded President Clinton to name head of the EPA, and
Gore's former Senate staffer Kathleen McGinty, who recently resigned as
director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, but is likely
to play a major role in Gore's run for president.
Another ally, Jonathan Lash, former attorney general of Vermont, is now
president of the World Resources Institute, the Administration's favorite
eco think tank. Maurice F. Strong, a millionaire Canadian businessman and
former secretary-general of the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit, is Gore's
link to nongovernmental organizations. Also close to Gore are Time Warner
honcho Ted Turner and former Senator Timothy E. Wirth (D耶olo.), who now
heads a Washington-based foundation that Turner set up to fund U.N.
projects.
Do these eco-advisers have an antibusiness bias? Seems that way. Last June a
renegade group of more than a dozen EPA employees, most of them scientists,
published a letter in the Washington Times harshly criticizing their own
shop. They alleged that EPA employees "are harassed, even fired, for
protesting illegal or irresponsible behavior by managers." They argued that
agency moves are based on "poor science" and that staffers who said as much
were harassed.
The letter-writers were responding to revelations contained in a report by
the National Wilderness Institute showing the EPA ignored whistle-blower
warnings about fabrication of agency documents in a Wisconsin wetlands case,
and that it had used public funds to bankroll a puppet foundation to win
control of Chesapeake Bay restoration.
The EPA pursues drastic policy even when sibling agencies vehemently
disagree. In July 1997 the EPA put out tougher standards on air pollution.
The rules on particulate matter and ground-level ozone ignored the findings
of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, which found no proof
that the new standards would measurably improve public health. But the
standards will be costly<a burden of perhaps $100 billion a year over and
above previous standards, a burden that will be paid in some way by
consumers, businesses or taxpayers.
What's going on? You have to understand pollution control in the context of
the battle over global warming. The new rules force some counties to further
reduce levels of ozone and particulate matter or lose federal transportation
funds. The man-made sources of these pollutants<cars, trucks, manufacturing
plants and electric utilities<are in large part the same sources of manmade
"greenhouse gases."
And that's the point. Those gases are the target of the Kyoto Protocol,
which puts most of the burden for reducing gas emissions on the U.S. It
effectively requires a 30% reduction in emissions over the next decade while
imposing no restrictions on China, India, Mexico and other developing
nations. The Kyoto treaty is one that the U.S. Senate would probably reject,
but that problem is not stopping Gore & Co. from moving full speed ahead.
"The goal of all this," says Malcolm Wallop, chairman of advocacy group
Frontiers of Freedom, "is to phase out coal and reduce use of fossil fuels,
thereby significantly altering U.S. energy policy."
With his influence over federal purse strings, the Vice President has made
sure that environmental lobbying groups receive plenty of taxpayer funds.
James Sheehan, a research associate at Washington's Competitive Enterprise
Institute, says organizations backing the Kyoto treaty tend to win federal
research grants, while dissenters don't.
Last year the Global Environment Facility, a World Bank-related program that
supports the global-warming treaty, began passing out $193 million in U.S.
funding to eager recipients; to date, $43 million of it has been committed
to implementing the treaty. Among the environmental groups that have already
received such funds are Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund and Jonathan
Lash's World Resources Institute<all fervent Gore supporters.
You might think that the ideas in Earth in the Balance are kooky. Read the
book anyway. You may have to live with its philosophy.

Oh fuck you kt. Any damn fool can read the intentions and idiocies of Al
Gore. The trouble with you bloody people is that the truth keeps getting in

Sorry Roger but it's very telling on the Gore hoax of global awarming. IOW,
a setup for bastardizing the science to make it fit his agenda. This most
likely makes your monthly data that you massage so meticulously a lie as
well. Who could honestly point to the data from government bureaus and claim
it's infallible data after Mr Gore established a network of like minded
liars into the mix which drove the real researchers, data gatherers, and
scientists away. If ever there was another Joseph Goebbels, he fits the mold
and planned it, The SOB should be brought up on charges perpetrating a hoax
on the people to satisfy his ego and agenda.
Gore is a spoiled child with power and believes he can manipulate his way
around anything that goes wrong with his schemes whether political or
scientific. How moral is that while he preaches morality. You would have to
be a real stupid SOB not to see this. I can guarantee your loyalty to such
hokum would not be reciprocated by Mr Gore when he is found out and you are
still worshipping his agenda. Time to come to reality Roger and realize
there is more to life than envionmentalism. If you can't be honest about it,
what has been gained for the environment other than a dishonest approach to
it.

So claims the James, the perpetually crackpot, crack head.
Now what do scientists say?
"Far more than other lawmakers, Gore during his career in Washington has
gained a reputation in the science community for being concerned,
knowledgeable, and articulate on matters of science and technology.
Researchers of various disciplines interviewed by The Scientist attest
to this, saying they are impressed that Gore is well versed in
scientific areas as diverse as space science, supercomputing, and
biotechnology." - New Scientist V6 #17.
---
:I think his <Al Gore's> credentials, in terms of science, are probably
better than those of anybody else in the Congress," - Robert Park,
American Physical Society (APS) / professor of physics University of
Maryland, College Park.
---
"I have interacted with him <Al Gore> a number of times, at many
conferences. And he is surely the most knowledgeable major politician in
terms of his actual scientific knowledge." - F. Sherwood Rowland,
tmospheric chemist at the University of California, Irvine / president
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
---
"On key issues such as the space station, Al Gore actually knows what
he's talking about. He's not just mouthing words that some staff person
wrote for him." - John Pike, space policy project director for the
Federation of American Scientists (FAS) in Washington, D.C.

VICE PRES AL GORE:
"he (DR Hansen) prepared a terrific statement and then all of a sudden,
his statement was censored. And the White House, back in those days,
told him he had to change his statement."
DR JAMES HANSEN during congressional testimony (May 8, 1989):
"OMB requested changes which I felt completely negated the testimony."
WILLIAM REILLY (BUSH Administration):
"At the time, the Hansen testimony was seen by the Office of Management
and Budget as inconsistent with (BUSH) administration policy.
DR JAMES HANSEN:
The last paragraph in that section was not a paragraph which I wrote.
That was added to my testimony in the process of review by the OMB.

VICE PRES AL GORE:
If they force you to change a scientific conclusion, it's
a form of science fraud by them. You know, in the Soviet Union, they
used to have a tradition of ordering their scientists to change their
studies to conform with the ideology then acceptable to the state.

Ya, I just don't get it. I recognize that he is a passionate, intelligent,
attractive man of great power and influence, but he's already committed to
his wife Tipper.
I don't think there is anything James or Kwag the dog, could do, or
promise to do to be able to entice Al from Tipper's loving, sexy, sexy arms.

Here is what science thinks...
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
AAAS Board Statement on Climate Change
--------------------------------------
Approved by the AAAS Board of Directors
9 December 2006
For more information:
The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human
activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society.
Accumulating data from across the globe reveal a wide array of effects:
rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, increases in
extreme weather, rising sea level, shifts in species ranges, and more. The
pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the
last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now.
The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, a critical greenhouse gas,
is higher than it
has been for at least 650,000 years. The average temperature of the Earth is
heading for levels not experienced for millions of years. Scientific
predictions of the impacts of increasing atmospheric concentrations of
greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and deforestation match observed changes.
As expected, intensification of droughts, heat waves, floods, wildfires, and
severe storms is occurring, with a mounting toll on vulnerable ecosystems
and societies.
These events are early warning signs of even more devastating damage to
come, some of which will be irreversible.
Delaying action to address climate change will increase the environmental
and societal consequences as well as the costs. The longer we wait to tackle
climate change, the harder and more expensive the task will be.
History provides many examples of society confronting grave threats by
mobilizing knowledge and promoting innovation. We need an aggressive
research, development and eployment effort to transform the existing and
future energy systems of the world away from technologies that emit
greenhouse gases. Developing clean energy technologies will provide economic
opportunities and ensure future energy supplies.
In addition to rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential
that we develop strategies to adapt to ongoing changes and make communities
more resilient to future changes. The growing torrent of information
presents a clear message: we are already experiencing global climate change.
It is time to muster the political will for concerted action. Stronger
leadership at all levels is needed. The time is now. We must rise to the
challenge. We owe this to future generations.
The conclusions in this statement reflect the scientific consensus
represented by, for example, the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(www.ipcc.ch/), and the joint National Academies' statement
(http://nationalacademies. org/onpi/06072005.pdf).

Did you see Gore's opening statement to congress the other day. I just
finished watching it. Very impressive. Gore was not only the brightest man
in the room, but his introduction was engaging, well constructed, and highly
persuasive.
And you know, he didn't once claim that AmeriKKKans have to put food on
their families as the Retard in the White House has.
AmeriKKKa had a choice between electing a brain dead drunk (Bush), or a
Bright, Intellecutal, Passionate, Natural Born Leader for president.
AmeriKKKans chose the Brain Dead Drunk..... Twice...
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah................
It's time to get the U.N. out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of existance.
POLICY LEADER OF THE YEAR
Al Gore
U.S. Vice President
Scientific American 50: Policy Leader of the Year
By JR Minkel and Gary Stix
November 12, 2006
The former presidential candidate is the preeminent spokesperson on
climate change
It sounds improbable: a documentary film about global warming, starring
Vice President Al Gore, has become the third-highest-grossing documentary
of all time. After his loss in the 2000 presidential election, Gore began
giving a talk on global warming to audiencesaround the world. An
Inconvenient Truth is the film version (also appearing in book form) of
his multimedia presentation. Remarkably, its heavy use of PowerPoint
slides actually adds to the narrative, which interweaves explanations of
climate science with defining episodes from Gore's life to convey a mix of
alarm and hope.
The film is a paragon of clear science communication. It explains the
workings of complex physical phenomena, such as the jet stream, while
chronicling the reality of glaciers receding and the increase in carbon
dioxide emissions and global temperatures. Gore, meanwhile, succeeds in
bringing the "moral imperative" of reducing greenhouse gases to a personal
level, attempting toconvince viewers that their own actions can make a
difference.
His appeal to individual responsibility is enhanced by the way the former
politician, often lampooned for his stiff speaking style, gives the viewer
a glimpse of his own life. In one of the film's strongest scenes, Gore
recounts how his older sister's death from lung cancer led his family to
stop growing tobacco-a painful metaphor for the industrial world's
predicament in coming to grips with excess atmospheric carbon.
The film provoked commentary from across the political spectrum. After its
release, the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute attacked:
"Carbon dioxide-they call it pollution; we call it life." But movie
critics drew attention to it by generally lavishing praise: "You owe it to
yourself to see this film," urged Roger Ebert. "If you do not, and you
have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to."
The achievement of An Inconvenient Truth has been to bring the most
important scientific and technical issue of our time into the public view
better than anything before in print or film.
