Gore: Cig Smoking "Significant" Contributor to Global Warming
2006-09-29
tying the anti-smoking nazis to the Eco-Kyoto Nazis? Is there anything Gore can't do? G.E.N.I.U.S.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"

Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."

Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea.

"The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said. After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore.

Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.

#11  Fuel load of 1 Gulfstream 5 jet to fly Al Gore: 15,966 kg

Tobbaco in 1 cigarette (100's): 0.90 gram.

Flying Al Gore to 1 speech = 17,740,000 cigarettes smoked. (OK, actually it's even more since kerosene is more carbon dense than tobacco.)

The hypocrisy: Priceless.

#10  So if all smokers switch to lites, it should be OK for me to continue to drive an SUV. If too many smokers quit or switch to snuff are we in danger of causing an ice-age? If this is true, then Native Americans are actually the ones who screwed up the enviroment. I think Al should take a look at the warming impact of Easy Bak ovens. I might alter my X-mas list based on his scientific findings.

#9  And this man came within just a few votes of being our president. I think even the democrats have to think they dodged the bullet on this one.

(New York Observer) - In suit pants too short and black boots too polished, Al Gore stepped haltingly to the podium of the Sheraton New York on Thursday afternoon and took credit for helping to solicit an enormous donation to fight global warming. Mr. Clinton patted him on the back and joked, “Al’s the enforcer.” Mr. Gore ignored the whiff of condescension as his puffy, aquiline face beamed in the direction of the adulation.

Donks, both of them.

#1  Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area...

If smoking could cause that to happen, everybody here would be lighting up...
