Fear Not, all ye faithful!  If the Denver convention is deadlocked, this fraud on the part of AlGore isn’t likely to keep him from being a consensus, “lesser of two evils” nominee.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

The interglacial we have enjoyed throughout recorded human history, called the Holocene, began 11,000 years ago, so the ice is overdue. We also know that glaciation can occur quickly: the required decline in global temperature is about 12C and it can happen in 20 years.
The next descent into an ice age is inevitable but may not happen for another 1000 years. On the other hand, it must be noted that the cooling in 2007 was even faster than in typical glacial transitions. If it continued for 20 years, the temperature would be 14C cooler in 2027.
By then, most of the advanced nations would have ceased to exist, vanishing under the ice, and the rest of the world would be faced with a catastrophe beyond imagining.

The tragic reality is that we are most likely going to experience another ice age soon, and we are doing nothing to prepare for it because our government and media are fretting about something completely fictitious.

Hmm.  Dishonesty to create fear to gain control?  Does it make you wonder whether or not some politicians look at ordinary people like a herd of stampeding cows? 

We don’t have to be driven; we don’t have to respond to their scare tactics.  Being afraid actually keeps us from moving forward and getting prepared for an ice age or heat wave or whatever’s coming. 

What we need is no more fear--just courageous, day-to-day living that includes preparing for the future and ignoring or changing the things that keep us from personally moving forward.

Like I said on a previous thread:  The rational people in the US need to be better at instilling fear in the Al Gore’s of the world. Fear is a good thing - it keeps moron’s from propagating.

I thought some parts of the movie were too good to be true! The part where the house fell on Hillary...tell me that wasn’t “special effects”!
Or Toto pulling the curtain aside to show Gore for what he is… fake but accurate?

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Gullible warming is a pretty regular topic Kate has at Small Dead Animals. It’s always interesting to browse the comments to see what those who worship Al Gore, David Suzuki, et al have to say in response. With them it usually boils down to “your facts that demonstrate otherwise don’t change the fact that we’re all going to die from global warming!!11!eleventy!!”

"we should select our leaders on principle first, electability second.”
