In a rousing speech to hundreds of delegates at the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, the former US Presidential candidate echoed President-elect Barack Obama in calling for change.<\/p>\n
“It is wrong for this generation to destroy the habitability of the planet and ruin the prospects of every future generation. That realisation must carry us forward. Our children have a right to hold us to a high standard when the future of all human kind is hanging in the balance.”<\/p>\n
The star of the Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth called for global targets to cut carbon emissions to be toughened to take account of new scientific evidence that claims the world is warming faster than expected. He called for world leaders to meet regularly over the next year until they achieve a binding agreement on climate change.<\/p>\n
Mr Gore said the celebrity-obsessed world had lost its way.<\/p>\n
“The political systems of the developed world have become sclerotic. We have to overcome the paralysis that has prevented us from acting and focus clearly and unblinkingly on this crisis rather than spending so much time on OJ Simpson, Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Let me see if I can help you out Al. You are correct that people do care more about these celebrities than they do global warming. I\u2019ll try to explain this phenomenon briefly.<\/p>\n
OJ Simpson = Murderous convict
\nParis Hilton = Living whore
\nAnna Nichole Smith = Dead whore
\nGlobal Warming = Absolute myth<\/p>\n
While certainly not a vocation that we would wish for our children, it is an unassailable fact that murderers and whores are real. Most people do care more about reality than myth. Something tangible and provable will always be more appealing to the human psyche than something that cannot be proven and is often disputed by opposing beliefs.<\/p>\n
The primary exception to this rule of course is religion. Religious beliefs require a spiritual faith and for devout religious people no amount of evidence contrary to their beliefs will alter their position. In fact the devout will not even try to defend their belief they will simply label the questioner as Godless, morally retarded, Infidel, etc\u2026<\/p>\n
Do you see the link Al?<\/p>\n
Global Warming is a cult. It is a hack religion being relentlessly promoted by corrupt and greedy snake oil salesmen like yourself, enemies of western culture that want to destroy our economy and Communists in academia that want nothing more than to cause the downfall of the greatest country in the history of the world.
