Al Gore Wants Economic Growth Measured In Terms Of Global Warming

It’s called “green GDP,” and it’s essentially where our nation’s economic health isn’t scored using math so much as a panel of “experts” deciding what kind of growth is good growth and what kind of economic growth is not.
Says Al Gore:

Surely a broader accounting of economic activity will enhance economic policy and decision-making. We commend the work of Professor Joseph Stiglitz and the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress for recognising that while facts and figures are important – indeed critical to thoughtful decision-making – we have placed too great an emphasis on outdated modes of distilling economic value. The longer we defer the proper accounting for externalities such as global warming pollution, the greater the strain we place on our already fragile economies.

Build an oil refinery and create thousands of jobs in a high-unemployment area? Drill an oil well and provide fuel for millions at affordable prices? That’s bad growth. You’re murdering the planet.
Build a biofuels plant that is only “profitable” in so far as the government provides heavy subsidies for production and mandates for use of your products? Why, that’s good growth. You’re saving the planet!
Do you think maybe the companies responsible for “good growth” might just be the companies Al Gore and the rest of the green elite own and/or invest in? You betcha. That’s how this works. The elite controlling everything for the rest of us.
You know. For our own good.

    I am really getting sick of Gore who is nothing more than a pseudo intellectual pushing this junk science down our throats…

    This is the Marxist approach to economics, which is to make it subservient to a social issue or to social issues. For Marxists, the real economy is there to fund their social engineering efforts to produce equality of outcome(except for the ruling elite, of course, who get the best of everything).
    Gore is simply spouting his own interpretation of Marxism, as he always does.
    Meanwhile, he lives in a mansion and follows no “green” discipline himself; instead, he wants to impose his crackpot theories on the rest of us, who, in his view, are there to serve him.

    This has never been about the environment, other than as a dubious platform to use as a launching pad for a New World Order. This reordering the global economy is just a technical part of that plan.

    People refuse to understand what this is really all about, they love to argue about the science and minor points and got lost in the Human Caused Global Warming labyrinth, only looking at each new turn rather than pulling back and seeing the whole picture. This is about raw global political power and money, although money is a minor factor. I believe the recent scandals will have zero impact because the U.N. Copenhagen Conference, the new European Union leadership and Obama are absolutely committed to immediate implementation of all the upcoming conference protocols around the globe as the necessary initial step towards One-World (Liberal-Socialist) Government. They will never allow even baseless science, scandals or any other political considerations to sway them from their plan.

    Sound like a conspiracy theory by a wild eyed conspiracy theorist? Time will tell and I believe it will be in a very short time.

    He is not going away! He will increasingly gain power and wealth because the world, despite the vain wishes of those thinking the current scandal will make any difference, have embraced Human Caused Global Warming as absolute fact and that delusion will continue to grow and the facts be damned!

    AlGore simply isn’t smart enough to come up with this on his own. He’s fronting for Soros and others who are far, far, more clever than he is. After all, what does it take to flunk out of divinity school.

    Gore want’s “a panel of experts” lol, like the “expert” scientists that we just busted in Climategate.

    I’m with you Rob. It’s time for Gore to go away.

    When you have a barrel of apples, there will always turn out one or more bad apples to discard.

    I’m all for measuring our success based on how warm we keep the planet even as the next glacial begins, which it is now. The alternative is that we move to Brazil and leave everything as far south as Texas to the march of the ice.

    “It’s time for Gore to go away.”

    Wait wait wait … not BEFORE he mans up enough to get in a debate, Just One Damn Time, with Lord Monkton, or any of the rest of his critics.
    I think he owes us that, don’t you?

  • sayanything-6955

    This is settled science, the consensus is, “ALGORE IS A NUTJOB”!!

  • spartacus

    Looks like he’s got his way. There was a little lag in there but global growth now seems to be receding

    “After all, what does it take to flunk out of divinity school.”

    Either about a dumptruck full of Tennessee skunk weed, or maybe about a pound of Acapulco Gold. Maybe half that, if Columbian Red Bud is available.
    Plus I don’t know HOW many lighters.
