Al Gore: Fighting Climate Change is Like Fighting the Nazis

Damn! By Mr. Gore's logic, millions of lives could have been saved during World War II if we had just recycled and kept our tires inflated at a proper level.

You. sir, have lost your damn mind!

Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.

Speaking in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by The Times, Mr Gore said: “Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War II.”

Mr Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany.

If that isn't the Himmler pot calling the Goebells kettle environmentally irresponsible.

Okay. So we're clear. The leader of the global warming alarmists is certifiable. So what are the sane people saying?

Despite alarmist claims of dangerous global warming there’s nothing to worry about — it’s really getting cooler says Laurence Gould, a professor of physics at the University of Hartford and one of the seven signers of a letter to Congress warning against passage of the so-called cap and trade legislation now awaiting Senate action after being enacted by the House of Representatives last week.

Professor Gould told Newsmax that the evidence on cooling is being ignored by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) upon whose specious reports the cap and trade bill relied.

Gould explained that both “global cooling and global warming have happened throughout much of the earth's climate history,” adding that “there have, for example, been the great ice ages as well as the more recent little ice age — all this taking place well before the large buildup of 20th century human industrialization — an industrialization that resulted and continues to result in the increase in the standard of living and in the increased life expectancy of people around the globe.”

But even as we are lucky to be living in a relatively warm period Gould said, “the evidence . . . clearly shows global temperatures have been falling over the last decade."

Did he say reports are being suppressed? Oh yeah, we blogged about that. Read.
