M.E.O.W.

I find it fascinating that the same people who accuse Bush of fomenting a climate of fear are upset that Bush isn’t fomenting a climate of fear about the climate.

Case in point is Al Gore’s new flick, “The End Is Near,” in which he insists that the earth is facing a, “planetary emergency,” that threatens to, “end civilization.” …It’s a bunch of tartuffery if you ask me; to which I say, “Meow”.

New gods for old

The web site for Gore's movie, climatecrisis.net, says, "we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe." Just ten years?

In the old days natural disasters were said to be the work of the gods when they were angry-- Gore is a prophet in this vein. He even channels gaia for us, telling us that the earth is very unhappy with what we are doing, and that we'd better pay heed, or else.

What Gore is actually calling for is the launch of a new, "moral equivalent of war" against a global warming foe; which, as it happens is us; we the people, who are the source and cause of global warming, are in essence the enemy in this moral equivalent of war or MEOW for short).

Carter, responding to the OPEC oil boycotts in the 1970s, risked his presidency to champion energy self-sufficiency. But his appeal to Americans to launch the "moral equivalent of war" (a coinage borrowed from the philosopher William James) was quickly lampooned by the acronym MEOW. salon.com

This new war would not be a simple or painless crusade to implement either; naturally it would entail enormous sacrifice in order to divert impending disaster because the ostensible cause of global warming is human activity, capitalist human activity to be precise. All the very things that the left and neo-socialists want to ban anyway, (what a coincidence).

Former US vice president Al Gore issued a sharp wake-up call over global warming at the Cannes Film Festival, warning the earth was facing "a planetary emergency."

Last year's spate of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans in August were proof that global warming was beginning to wreak havoc due to global climate change, he said.

"Mother Nature has joined this debate with a very powerful and persuasive voice," Gore told a press conference after a screening of "An Inconvienent Truth," which documents his one-man crusade to raise awareness about the issue.

"Hurricane Katrina was a wake-up call for many people who had heard that the scientists were warning that the hurricanes would get much stronger [ *factcheck* ]. These and other phenomenon that have long been predicted are now coming to pass.

"The key to solving this crisis depends upon the people demanding action and not just of a president, but of the Congress as well." ~breitbart.com/news

Gore's ranting is so predictable that anyone could put this stuff together randomly. ...And let's also remember that fearmongering for political purposes is one of the lowest, underhanded, despicable things a politician can do. Those who would exploit a tragedy like 9/11 (or Hurricane Katrina) for an unrelated political purpose are the lowest of the low...

He [Albert Gore aka 'Gator Rebel'...] said he believed a huge opportunity had been lost in the aftermath of the September 2001 terrorist attacks to wean the United States -- the world's largest single producer of C02 gases -- off its dependence on fossil fuels.

"I also believe that after 9/11 if, in addition to rallying the country and wisely invading Afghanistan to pursue Osama bin Laden, that if the president of the United States had said 'Let's become independent of oil and coal', that people would have responded to that." ~breitbart.com/news

Wasn't it Gore who accused Bush of, "betraying this country" and "playing on our fears" by invading Iraq in the wake of 9/11?

Bush's real crime against humanity was having the gall to invade Afghanistan, defeat the Taliban, and then liberate the 26 million people in bondage to dictatorship in Iraq too. ...BUT Bush failed to play on the fears of Americans to promote a radical global warming agenda.

To this new call for repentence from industrialism I say, MEOW.
