It\’s about time. The peoples of the world suffer because the U.S. uses most of the world\’s oil and more of the coal creating most of the global warming.
Hopefully the Congress will over ride the Presidents veto.
We probably use the most fuel because we produce more than anyone else, genius. I guess we should all become park rangers and stop exhaling?
So tell us, what caused the global warming that ended the ice ages? What caused the ice ages? You cannot answer these questions consonant with your propagandized views.
As much as I hate to agree with goreisadope, he raises at least one valid point.
Did the last ice age endbecause all those wooly mammoth sports coupes we\’ve found buried in the ice?
That sentence alone should be your wake up call.
The earth goes through natural cycles, and until you can definitively prove that humanity is the cause of this latest change stop agitating for economic and legislative penalties on me.
Or, you could read all the previous posts before hitting the key-board.
OK seriously would you fine CA, MT, WY etc for CO2 emissions of wildfires as a solution. Ever fly into CA during the wildfires? The smoke is so think you cant see the ground and covers several states and these are not small states-I might add. Dont know about you but I have never flown in anywhere even high industrial areas where that the effect is even noticible but for right around a specific plant and during cold months under a thermal inversion climate. The wildfires do this during hot months with no thermal inversion. Volcanoes are even worse. But lets not stop there take all aerobic organism on the planet and the co2 they emit add that to the human population and fossil fuels equate to about the same amount. BA Biology and minor in Chemisrty 1984. Global cooling was the big scare back then and we were supposed to be in an ice age by 2050 due to the expected high level of volcanic activity predicted. Again you all have no concept of the magnitude of Mother Nature. Have any of you morons supporting this stuff ever even taking a basic biology or climatology course? And last but not least I want the moron who is worried about cancer tell me how reducing CO2 emission will change cancer rates. Last I checked CO2 was in no way linked to Cancer in fact it might be the only thing in the universe not known to be carcnogenic. Also did you all know O2 is actually toxic and if you breath 100% O2 for any length of time you will die it is why we put CO2 in O2 –to keep you alive! Hate to tell you bout aerobic organisms can not survive without CO2! Friggin dis-informed liberals!
I am not a scientist, but I do talk to those who agree with me, and I have found that those who agree with me are 86% certain that Bush is responsible for globular warming. I know this is true; you should believe me, I am not a scientist, but I did invent the internet awhile back.
Yeah, I know there are allot of science folk out there who do not agree with me; I simply do not listen to them because they are closed minded.
Had Dan Quayle said any of these things that Gore said, the Lib press would still be shreiking about it. Read these and ask yourself, is this sociopath capable of telling the truth about anything? Is it possible that he could know that mankind has nothing to do with global warming, but doesn\’t say so because he has an agenda?
\”When my sister and I were growing up,\” Mr. Gore told a small audience made up mostly of women, \”there was never any doubt in our minds that men and women were equal, if not more so.\”
(Source: NY Times, 08/12/00)
During the second debate, while discussing the environment, Gore said: \”And I\’m a grandfather now. I want to be able to tell my grandson, when I\’m in my later years, that I didn\’t turn away from the evidence that showed that we were doing some serious harm. In my faith tradition, it is written in the book of Matthew, \’Where your heart is, there\’s your treasure also.\’ And I believe that we ought to recognize the value to our children and grandchildren of taking steps that preserve the environment in a way that\’s good for them.\”
Gore got the quote from Matthew 6:21 backwards. Matthew 6:21 states: \”For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.\” This follows verses 19 and 20 which say: \”Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.\”
This quote has nothing to do with the environment; it has to do with devotion to salvation The Bible verses specifically refer to being careful where you store your treasures – it follows the the reason would have to be because heart follows treasures. So not only did he misquote and misuse the quote – it is obvious he didn\’t know the context of the verse.
Oct. 25 2000 JACKSON, Tenn. (Reuters) — Criticizing Bush\’s Social Security privatization plan at a rally in Tennessee, Gore said, \”He is proposing to privatize a big part of Social Security and he\’s proposing to take $1 trillion, a million billion dollars out of the Social Security trust fund and give it as a tax incentive to young workers.\”
A trillion is one thousand billion, not a million billion.

On July 16, 2000 during a \”Meet the Press\” interview, Gore was asked if he would be in favor of postponing the execution of a pregnant woman. His hesitant response was \”I\’d have to think about it\”.
Apparently not prepared for this curve ball of a question, Gore must have been so conscientious about upsetting his pro-choice constituency that he couldn\’t even give the answer that was obvious to every member of the House which in uncharacteristically unanimous fashion passed legislation shortly after this interview to prohibit such a practice.
RUSSERT: Right now there\’s legislation which says that a woman on death row, if she\’s pregnant, she should not be executed. Do you support that?
GORE: I don\’t what you\’re talking about.
RUSSERT: It\’s a federal statue on the books that if a woman is pregnant and she\’s on death row, she should not be executed.
GORE: Well, I don\’t know what the circumstances would be in that situation. I would–you know, it\’s an interesting fact situation. I\’d want to think….
In his 2000 convention acceptance speech, Gore said the Bush tax cut would save the average family 62 cents a week (\”enough for a diet coke\”). He later clarified it and said 62 cents a day per family… which is still wrong. Even at 62 cents a day, that\’s only a little over $226 a year. Under the Bush tax plan, the average family would save $1500 — $4.20 a day, which is almost $29 dollars a week.
During the October 3, 2000 Presidential debate, Gore mentioned 79-year-old Winifred Skinner, who has become the campaign\’s mascot for his Medicare prescription-drug program. \”In order to pay for her prescription drug benefits, she has to go out seven days a week, several hours a day, picking up cans ,\” Gore said. \”She came all the way from Iowa in a Winnebago with her poodle in order to attend here tonight.\”
However, Skinner doesn\’t need to collect cans for her medication. Her son, Earl King, who formerly owned his own business and now lives on an 80-acre ranch and describes his lifestyle as \”comfortable,\” has offered repeatedly to help her make ends meet. She continually declines his offers. In addition, the Winnebago Gore referred to, as well as the gas, was paid for by the Gore campaign. Five campaign workers accompanied Skinner, a longtime Democrat and former union organizer.

In the Presidential debate on October 3, 2000, Governor George W. Bush gave credit to the Federal Emergency Management Service (FEMA) for their work in Texas during fires and floods in Parker County. Vice President Al Gore said \”I accompanied James Lee Witt down to Texas when those fires broke out.\” Carl Cameron, of Fox News first reported that Gore had not, in fact, been to Texas with Witt to look at the damage in Parker County. Gore WAS in Texas, but FEMA officials said Witt never went to Texas to deal with the 1998 fires.
To say that he was traveling with Witt implies strongly that Gore was traveling to a location in an official capacity. Gore was on his way to a fundraiser, and happened to run into FEMA people at the airport. The purpose of his trip was to attend a fundraiser, NOT to see the damage, as Gore implies. While Gore has accompanied Witt on other occasions, Gore didn\’t on this occasion, AND the purpose of this particular trip wasn\’t even connected with the disasters. Some claim Gore just \”forgot\” that Witt wasn\’t with him on this occasion… did Gore also forget the purpose of this particular trip?
\”If James Lee was there before or after, then you know, I got that wrong then,\” Gore said on ABC\’s Good Morning America on October 4, 2000.
(Source: New York Post, October 5, 2000 \”Gore\’s nose is growing again\”)
At a Sept. 22 press conference, Gore stated \”I\’ve been a part of the discussions on the strategic reserve since the days when it was first established.\” However, President Ford established the Strategic Petroleum Reserves when he signed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) on December 22, 1975 — two years before Al Gore became a congressman
(Source: Washington Post, Sept. 24 2000)
(note: it was actually 13 months, not 2 years as the Post states)
Now, technically, 1975 was when it was declared U.S. policy to establish a reserve, but the reserve was not established (sites purchased or built, etc) until 1977, when Gore was in Congress. However, isn\’t this yet another case of \”fuzzy wording\”? Gore phrases the initial statement to give the impression that he was somehow responsible or \”part of something\” from the outset, but leaves wiggle room so that he can later justify the statement. And isn\’t saying he was part of \”discussions on the strategic reserve\” meant to leave the impression that he was was part of the planning process, prior to the sites being purchased, etc? Decide for yourself.
Here I will use as small words as possible so you can understand. I am saying CO2 does not cause cancer and that fossil fuel emission are actually not bad for the environment – they are the environament, came from the environment and will go back to the environment. They actually have never left the environment. I am also say men women and children are insignificant to the rest of mother nature and when an asteroid nails us or the moon or a super volcano like yellowstone goes active all the legislation and taxes anyone has passed or collected will do nothing to provide for our childrens\’ grandchildren PS If you are worried tailpipes you should focus on CO not CO2— CO will get you much quicker but Al Gore grew up breathing CO and doesn\’t seem to care much about regulating CO!
You must be stoned…Al Gore never said he invented the internet. He said he created it. Bob Dole and Al Gore did in fact introduce legislation that createdd the internet. The armed forces were using a variation on the internet called arpa-net. The legislation that made the internet a reality was created by Al. Just so you know when you make another ridiculous post.
\”actual algore quote\”, fine work in digging up quote from Al Gore. I know how hard it would be to pick up ridiculous quotes from our brilliant commander and cheif, but I think it wouldn\’t be that terribly hard.
\”Al Gore\”, Dan Quayle did make many upon many silly quotes…and guess what, the liberals are not still talking about it. Bill hasn\’t been president for over 5 years and I\’m still hearing crap about Monica. It\’s not the left that won\’t let things die. How many times die we hear \”I didn\’t enhale\”. Do I have to mention who said that? I don\’t think so. George Bush got a DUI from being on Cocaine in his 30s, and that was barely mentioned. When you \”righties\” start whining about the \”liberal\” media, just remember that the shelf life for a democratic mis-step is like wine, but for Republicans is like fruit.
lets see…the internet has been around for a long time…
The Internet began as a Cold War project to create a communications network that was immune to a nuclear attack. In the 1969, the U.S. government created ARPANET, connecting four western universities and allowing researchers to use the mainframes of any of the networked institutions. New connections were soon added to the network, bringing the number of \”nodes\” up to 23 in 1971, 111 in 1977, and up to almost 4 million in 1994. As the size of the network grew so did its capabilities: In its first 25 years, the Internet added features such as file transfer, email, Usenet news, and eventually HTML. Now, new developments come to the Net one right after the other. It is this explosive growth in recent years that has captured the imagination of computer users the world over.
To give Uncle Al credit for talking about the internet in congress, many years after it was already IN USE (even if not in it\’s current format) is like giving me credit for talking about what a hot babe Heather Locklear in TJ Hooker and taking credit for her career after that.
ALGORE loves to embellish himself; he takes credit for things he didn\’t do, he steps out for bathroom use during illegal contribution activities (I had too much ice tea), and he transcends space and time to attend to wildfires when he was no where near the place in question.
No one no this post knows whether there is global warming, cooling, or whatever. But lets get one thing clear: ALGORE definitely doesn\’t know. Let\’s go forward and approach the subject with caution; it should get attention, but let\’s not hyperventilate over what we don\’t know. And let\’s not be like uncle AL, and refuse to discuss the subject with anyone who disagrees with him.

Are you saying that the stuff that comes out of tailpipes is not bad for the air and not bad for my health? I just want to get this clear.
