Al Gore Admits CO2 Does Not Cause Majority Of Global Warming

[Demper]

In a new development that is potentially devastating to the
agenda to introduce a global carbon tax and a cap and trade
system, Al Gore admits that the majority of global warming that
occurred until 2001 was not primarily caused by CO2.

Before we get too excited, Gore is not backing away from his
support for the theory of man-made climate change, but his
concession that carbon dioxide only accounted for 40% of warming
according to new studies could seriously harm efforts to tax
CO2, that evil, life-giving gas that humans exhale and plants
absorb.

“Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could
complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the
need to limit carbon emissions,” reports BB News.

Yesterday we reported on how Gore was set to become the first
“carbon billionaire” on the back of vast profits from companies
invested in the “green revolution” that the former vice-
president has a hefty stake in.

[efoods]We also highlighted how the Chicago Climate Exchange
(CCX) has direct ties to both Al Gore and Maurice Strong, two
figures intimately involved with a long standing movement to use
the theory of man made global warming as a mechanism for profit
and social engineering. Gore’s investment company, Generation
Investment Management, which sells carbon offset opportunities,
is the largest shareholder of CCX.

Gore stands to make windfall profits from his stake in carbon
trading systems that would be used to manage the cap and trade
system currently being readied for passage in the Senate, but
his admission that CO2 is far less of a threat than global
warming alarmists have been claiming could be a terminal blow
for such a proposal.

As Andrew Bolt writes in today’s Australian Herald Sun, his flip-
flopping “Suggests not only that was Gore wrong to claim the
science was “settled”, but that the hugely expensive schemes to
“stop” warming by slashing carbon dioxide emissions will be less
than half as effective as claimed.”

“Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all
on CO2, and I think that’s still justified,” Gore told Newsweek
. “But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to
widen the focus to encompass strategies for all” of the
greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study.”

Gore now blames soot and methane for the majority of global
warming, leaving the door open for a tax on livestock, a tax on
meat, a tax on milk, and on and on until he changes his mind
again and blames another culprit so that too can be taxed.

In another indictment of Gore’s accuracy in warning about
climate change, he has now virtually abandoned scientific
“facts” in favor of characterizing his Inconvenient Truth
presentation in the context of a religious sermon.

“Simply laying out the facts won’t work,” admits Gore.

That’s right, the church of environmentalism has come full
circle with Gore’s intention to deliver his widely debunked
presentation with spiritual overtones, a move that will shock
most hard-headed empirical scientists.

“I’ve done a Christian [-based] training program; I have a
Muslim training program and a Jewish training program coming up,
also a Hindu program coming up. I trained 200 Christian
ministers and lay leaders here in Nashville in a version of the
slide show that is filled with scriptural references. It’s
probably my favorite version, but I don’t use it very often
because it can come off as proselytizing,” Gore tells Newsweek.

In a new book Gore has been working on, he attempts to address
the rapidly growing skepticism towards global warming alarmism
not with science, but by blaming people’s own thoughts, a
Kafkaesque cop-out if ever there was one.

According to the book’s press release, “Among the most unique
approaches Gore takes in the book is showing readers how our own
minds can be an impediment to change.”

“Our own minds are the enemy! Don’t free the minds – imprison
them!,” scoffs Tim Blair.
