Gore to talk to Congress on global warming
Former Vice President and Nobel laureate Al Gore will testify to Congress next week on global warming, Senator John F. Kerry announced this morning.
Gore, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his advocacy on the issue and won an Oscar for his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," will testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning on climate change, the latest science, and the importance of US leadership.
“My friend and former Senate colleague Al Gore is one of this nation’s leading authorities on the subject of climate change, and we are honored that he has agreed to appear before the Committee,” Kerry said in a statement.
“Al Gore has been sounding the alarm on climate change for over three decades, and he understands the urgent need for American engagement and leadership on this issue. America must act decisively in order for the nations of the world to reach agreement on a climate change treaty at the December 2009 meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark. The timeline is short for us to respond to the threat of climate change, and this hearing will examine what America must do to lead the world in crafting a truly global solution.”
Kerry has pledged to make climate change a priority for the committee, whose chairmanship he assumed with the new Congress.

Pity that in this period of a Washington controlled by the Dems
the necessary questions won't be asked of "Climate Expert" Mr. Gore.
The whole issue is a political one, to get more control on our lives.
There is no scientific consensus on the issue, the evidence debunking the
CO2 myth is piling up and yet politicians such as Planet Savers Kerry and Gore
will keep poluting our minds with their science fiction tales. 10 years of cooling
are apparently not long enough to change the tune. Fortunately, most citizens
are smarter than the bullies in Washington.
Typical extremist Republican and Christian plagiarism (natural cycles psychos) lacking an SUV to crash into a global warming clinic -"Posted by Francis January 22, 09 01:39 PM". Their only correct predictions are in getting paid for hatred and greed.
Francis, you are a drone of right wing think tanks. I bet you also believe that bush truly believed there were WMD's in Iraq
The real proof of whether this represents the much heralded “Obama transparency in politics” or the same old political theater that’s been around forever is whether there will be any of the hundreds of bona fide climate scientists that are in absolute disagreement with Gore over man-made global warming there as a counter-balance. Don’t hold your breath - let the dog and pony show begin.
There is no such thing as consensus in science. It must be a proven scientific fact, a theory or a hypothesis to be tested. We don’t vote; we do reproducible experiments and research. The proponents of global warming base everything on their models, which when given 1960 data cannot predict today’s temperatures. They have created a phony money machine.
. Truth is, human caused climate change is the phony cause of ALGORE and his minions that are greedy for money and power. Don J. Easterbrook, Ph.D., emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, asked, "What does it take to ignore 10 years of global cooling, sharply declining temperatures the last couple of years, record setting lack of sun spots . . . failure of computer models to predict real climate, predictable warming and cooling climates for the past 500 years. The answer is really quite simple — just follow the money!"
Not this fool again I am tired of dems trying to have more control on the populace by shouting apocalyptic lies, some time later we will look back at this and realize this was the greatest scam in human history. Remember the aerosols that supposedly destroyed the atmosphere? oh sure were all going to have cancer in the future and the government tried to ban it or banned it i don't remember but they completely forgot all about it, now they are trying to place a tax on fossil fuel! how ridiculous is this?
Ozonator & Chad:
Just so you guys know, I am not a rightwing Christian zealot, was no fan of GW Bush and his WMD story. That is an insult to intelligence and typical of
Global Warming fans. Just mud slinging, no facts to back it up and certainly no credible e-v-i-d-e-n-c-e. (PC models are no evidence, sorry guys)
I have spent the last 24 months studying the topic, have read 38 books from both sides of the story and have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as dangerous man-made global warming. Somebody else referred to Don J Easterbrook: I could not agree more.
Umm the aerosol was puttin a hole in the ozone layer.....the ban helped solve this problem. And Global Warming is ReaL people
It is funny that the leading expert on a scientific matter is.....wait for it.....a politician? Hmmm...also interesting, how liberal media and Dems silence the voices of REAL scientists who disagree with the whole gloabal warming theory. The whole scare is to get people to buy more expensive cars and buy into technologies that are less efficient, that will ultimately push us further to socialism. Case in point. The fact that biodiesel fuel that the democrats push and want all fuel to have at least 20% of, turns to gel when it gets cold. THe solution. Let vehicles that run on biodiesel idle for as long as overnight. That is not helping the climate! Second fact, it is well known by most anyone who cares to consider facts instead of simply buying into all party rhetoric that politicians and others were claiming the world was getting colder and freezing. I find it hard to believe that after all the regulations since the 70s to improve air quality, etc. that we have gone from a globe that is freezing to a globe that is warming, simply becasue of human intervention? The scientific answer is simple that while humans to affect our environment to an extent, and SOME warming might be casued by humans, overall the trend for our globe is to have natural fluctuations. Anyone who actually cared to research the facts though, instead of listening to politicians, would know that.
being 52 years old and living in wisconsin with other family who are in their 80's-we know its happining quite fast-our winters except this year are much warmer--the bugs are dissapearing and the trees are dieing--ITS REAL DUMMIES--
But go ahead and deny it for you will be proved wrong and you will be the problem. You would have to be brain dead not to notice-and we dont care about brain dead people---notice the chem trails as the governments try to control it or are your heads up your buts---notice their is not many clear days anymore?? only hazzy skies from their global dimming chem spraying planes?? dummies dummies
Man Made Global Warming is real.... Al Gore Made it up, therefore it is Man Made. What fools on the left believe this crap? How stupid do you have to be to ignore the evidence and not even know the basic science and still believe that it is real.... because Al Gore (who did invent the internet) said so. What fools..
Poor Francis (aka Marc Morano looking for bonus?);
Y’all rewriting copies of the same thing (unsupported lies) is entirely your mud. Unable to speak for Chad’s postings, using the Google and a calendar will quickly show you several of my predicted catastrophes in global warming actually happening. (Roy “d-rage” Spencer would give himself several more Holy Grails if his “science” allowed him to predict even an itty bitty scientific method.) Be sure to ask some one to increase the size of print on your screen. Tisk, tisk, tisk -- “Ozonator & Chad: ... Just mud slinging, no facts to back it up and certainly no credible e-v-i-d-e-n-c-e. (PC models are no evidence, sorry guys) ... 24 months studying the topic, have read 38 books ... no such thing as dangerous man-made global warming. ... Posted by Francis January 22, 09 09:50 PM”).
Liberals are so insanely zealous about their religion of global warming. I'm 100% certain that if global turned out to be the result of natural cycles and thus completely harmless and out of our control, the global warmists would be beside themselves with anger and frustration. How could their religion and their messiah (Gore) be so wrong? You global warming loons make me laugh. Most of you probably have nothing more than high school educations but you want to lecture the rest of us on climate science. Ha hahah.
This is the biggest pollution problem in the history of human civilization. Four great consequences are in motion - warming trends, acidification, disaster zones, and charged weather anomalies. Nature doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. If your attitude starts with denial, put a big P2 on your forehead for Pro Pollution. And quit pretending it's a political agenda.
All those who deny Global Climate Change must be numb to their surroundings, and the scientific community. I know that it is tough to get your hands on scientific journals, but please do not read your novels and believe them to be fact. It is a scary thought that the world is changing in ways that we are unable to control, but please be brave. Denial will not save your grandchildren from the impending violent storms, rising seas, drought, and plagues. We must change our ways, and lead the world. Don't you want America to be the respected leaders of the world again? Where is your patriotism? I know it won't be easy to give up your consumer ways, profiting from the exploitation of our natural resources, but give those who want to save the earth a chance. What have you got to lose?
Ok, so you're skeptical. I understand. But why are you willing to take the chance? Stop looking at this as a bipartisan issue and come together, already! Do we have to wait for your antiquated ideals to die with you, or are you willing to evolve?
Polution is an issue that needs to be addressed continuously.
AGW is a myth tho.
We are entering a period of dramatic cooling. Cycle 24 just won't start, the PDO has switched to the cool phase, the ADO looks like it is switching to the cool phase, solar winds are down over 20% since the mid 90's. A lot of things happening at one time. Maudner Minnimum?
What fools! The 'science' that links CO2 with AGW is unravelling. Gore knows it and it’s a race against time to get this politically motivated legislation passed through congress before the ruse is exposed.
The evidence is clear CO2 lags behind temperature whereas the driving force for temperature is the Sun. Go figure – do the research for yourself.
Expect Gore to demand that the govt spend trillions of dollars on "green" technologies. And expect Kerry to do all he can to fill up the trough so that Gore and his cronies can make billions for themselves. As in most politics, Gores politics of global warming is a scam to enrich himself and his investors in GIM. Don't know what GIM is? Google "Generation Investment Management". It's Al Gores massive cash cow waiting to be fed by the US treasury and your tax dollars. Follow the money. Al Gore is a fraud.
Although in the moment news is pending that this may be postponed (cold weather, perhaps) - should not, in the interest of science, "we the people" insist that such testimony be restricted to experts in the field, rather that some of the world’s biggest hypocrites who have been told from just about every corner available to shut up - with the exaggerated pomp and hype?
new generation of leaders spoken as a true Marxist. "I know it won't be easy to give up your consumer ways, profiting from the exploitation of our natural resources, but give those who want to save the earth a chance. What have you got to lose? " What we have to loose is our freedom and the futures of our Grandchildren. Don't drink the koolaid. These libs are serious. If we let them get control, they will begin to thin out the human population to "save us and the planet"

I just watched the Irene Sendler's story and I can't believe that you didn't receive your Nobel Peace Prize and hand it straight to her memory. What an unbelievable story. She was such a courageous woman and she definitely should be nominated for the Peace Prize. What I can't understand is why you were nominated for Global Warming. What does that have to do with peace is beyond understanding. We just had the coldest spring in my memory. Global warming in my opinion is a farce. We can't control the weather. Only God can do that. You are exploiting the American people by suggesting anything but that fact. We have no power over the weather.
I feel that you should have received the Nobel Peace Prize and given it up to someone deserving of it. Irene Sendler deserved it!
