LOL! So did Al Gore invent Global Warming like he invented the Internet?

[Leroy N. Soetoro]

"Last year the Vice President made a straightforward statement on his
role. He said: "During my service in the United States Congress I took
the initiative in creating the Internet."

At least that’s what one may have concluded after watching last weekend’s
Academy Awards show – and that it was a good thing that he did

Now, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Al Gore. I think what he
has done to help bring environmental issues to the public consciousnesses,
especially global warming and climate change, is a very good thing.

After all the self-congratulatory back-patting and weepy reverence toward
Gore’s “inspiration”, I admit I felt a little sick to my stomach. And I’m
a staunch San Francisco liberal, so I can only imagine how it made
conservative right-wingers feel. To Gore’s credit, I think he looked a
little embarrassed by the whole thing. I wonder how many people so
inspired by Gore have even read his book Earth in the Balance written over
a decade ago?

We’ve all heard the phrase “limousine liberal” and I can’t help but say
that, for me, Sunday’s event had what I hope was the unintended effect of
personifying that for me. Yes, I know that Leo DiCaprio arrived in a
Toyota Prius, but his declaration that the Oscars had “gone green” was a
bit over the top, and very misleading:

Show up in a hybrid, use recycled paper for the envelopes and such, buy
carbon credits for the enormous amount of energy it takes to produce and
broadcast such an affair and viola! you’re suddenly green.

It’s all things they should be doing, of course, and should have been
doing long before Al Gore made a movie. I applaud the effort. My problem
is with the self-congratulatory tone and the reality that the Oscars is
hardly a “green” event.

The assembled multitude at the Oscars probably consumes more energy every
year than some small nations. All the dresses, tuxedos, materials needed
for the show – not to mention all the materials and processes used to
manufacture all the equipment used in the production – the transportation
(Toyota hybrids notwithstanding), the convergence of camera crews from
around the world; the fact that Hollywood is a town that exists by sucking
the Colorado River dry. Need I go on?

I’m all for people doing what they can. I certainly am not proposing that
the Oscars no longer broadcast their glitz and glamour. I do think it does
a disservice to the cause they claim to support when it is made to appear
that such an event can ever be made truly “green”.

There are simple things we can and should all be doing to lessen our
footprint on this earth. But to claim that these first few baby steps we
take are the final solution to the problem of global warming and
environmental degradation is either naive or disingenuous.

Have a nice day.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United

Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still
has his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptness.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 200% and leaves millions without health care.

Obama helped bankrupt Illinois. Democrat run Chicago closes 54 public
schools.
