Yes, this is the week when the Goracle (who typically makes well over $100,000 per speech, and wants $145,000 to speak to Washington University) takes to the airwaves to try and convince everyone that he isn’t a crank and that people using large amounts of energy, like TV stations broadcasting propaganda, are the reason that it gets hot/cold/wet/dry
Former US vice-president Al Gore will renew his 30-year campaign to convince skeptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events this week in a 24-hour global multi-media event.
24 Hours of Reality will broadcast a presentation by Al Gore every hour for 24 hours across 24 different time zones from Wednesday to Thursday, with the aim of convincing climate change deniers and driving action against global warming among households, schools and businesses.
Perhaps he should tell his peeps that they should immediately live the carbon neutral lifestyle, and do things like give up their cars, bike to work, only buy locally, grow their own produce, set the thermostat up to 80 during the summer, give up their smartphones and computers, refuse to take fossil fueled flights, and so on…..what’s that? Then they wouldn’t need to listen to him anymore, and he wouldn’t be able to talk them into purchasing carbon offsets, things that make Gore money? Who knew?
The campaign also asks people to hand over control of their social networking accounts on Facebook and Twitter to it for 24 hours to deliver Gore’s message.
Don’t worry, I’m sure you can trust all the people involved to not mine your Facebook and Twitter accounts for information.
As for you darned skeptics
“There will be 200 new slides arguing the connection between more extreme weather and climate change,†Trewin Restorick, chief executive of the event’s UK partner Global Action Plan, told Reuters on Monday.
“There will be a full-on assault on climate skeptics, exploring where they get their funding from.â€
If the idea is to convert skeptics, “assaulting” them, demeaning them, trying to make them out to be bad people is probably not the wisest of ideas. But, then, the idea for this 24 hour gig is not to change people’s minds, but to show that Gore is still relevant, and to get his cult like followers to lobby governments to enact legislation that affects That Other Guy (and could put more money in Gore’s pockets).
The climate alarmists have spend the last 20 years pushing “awareness”, but never practice what they preach. And Gore is one of the worst “carbon pollution” offenders out there.
Here’s one of the stupid promo videos they released in advance for his little project
Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.
What channel(s) is it going to be on?
I want to be sure and avoid it.
30 years huh?
You’d think he’d change his message by now seeing how support for it has dropped like a deflated green balloon.
If you have a product you are trying to sell, wouldn’t the prudent thing be is to shift your commercial ploy and sales pitch so that more people will be interested in buying the BS you’re selling?!?!?
Instead of the same old tired BS of blame, lies and faked and illogical science?
It’ll probably be on his money losing Current TV. I think I get it, but, only on non-HD channels, which I rarely look at (except the one that shows Benny Hill)
But, it’s THE message of the millennium. But, Gore really is stuck on stupid.
