And the Oscar goes to... Chicken Little
Al Gore, as you probably already know, won an Oscar for his paranoid, greenie weenie propaganda film, An Inconvenient Truth. Al is what's known as in the old Soviet circles as a useful idiot. Someone who can rally the public to ignore important issues by presenting a series of fake environmental hobgoblins for which the only cure is some draconian measure. The Soviets benefitted from men like this because he distracts resources from productive efforts.
The website for this film, climatecrisis.net is filled with little gems like this quote from Al regarding the 2005 hurricane season: "what changed in the U.S. with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences." As though we've never had hurricanes before. Global warming was supposed to be the cause of the series of strong hurricanes in the 2005 season, but the following season had no storms of hurricane strength. Al says that the oceans will rise more than 20 feet in the next 100 years because of global warming melting the ice at the poles, even though the most dire computer models show a rise of no more than 1 foot. The real reason for films like this, the green movement and useful idiots like Al Gore is wealth confiscation and further government control. All you need to know about global warming is this.... the earth has been warming and cooling for 4.5 billion years. Man has been around for about 195 thousand years and hasn't been producing pollutants in any significant volume until about the last 300 years. Which leaves 4,499,999,700 years of the Earth warming and cooling on it's own, with ice ages occurring about every 40,000 to 100,000 years. Our contribution to the rising temperature of the earth is not even large enough to qualify as minuscule. Folks, we're not even on the radar. Beware of men like Al gore, he has his hand in your pocket and a strong belief that the government should tell you how to live your life.
