Gore's climate 'reality' campaign kicks off
2011-09-16
People of earth...
WASHINGTON -- An Internet campaign spearheaded by former US vice president Al Gore to raise awareness about climate change began airing its day-long broadcast around the world on Thursday.

The project, called "24 Hours of Reality,"
So true for a very specific definition of reality...
features a multimedia presentation viewable online that showcases how extreme weather events like floods, fires and storms are linked to climate change.
I can almost hear "Flight of the Valkyries" in the background...
All in triple forte. Much more appropriate than "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana, which starts so quietly, building inexorably to overwhelming staccato sound. The possibility of anything other than shouting at the top of his lungs wouldn't suit The Goracle at all, poor man.
By 1300 GMT, the live-streamed broadcasts delivered in 13 languages, viewable at climaterealityproject.org, had drawn more than three million views, organizers said.
Wow. Three million out of a planetary population of six billion is a really, really small percentage. Perhaps they're going for the reverse snobbery demographic?
The hourly broadcasts are scheduled in various locations around the world, including Beijing, New Delhi, Jakarta, London, Dubai, Istanbul, Seoul and Rio de Janeiro.
Ah, the "Bludgeon The World Into Submission" strategy...
They might stop to watch in London, but for the rest of the list it's work, starve, or watch soap operas.
They also aim to reveal how money motivates those who deny that human-driven pollution is contributing to climate change..
As Joe would say...COUGH...COUGH...COUGH...
The accusation flung meets the accusation answered here. A bit wordier than Joe's elegant sufficiency, but the ability to compress so very many layers of meaning into a few personal abbreviations is rare beyond avarice.
"Around the world, we are still subjected to polluter-financed misinformation and propaganda designed to mislead people about the dangers we face from the unfolding climate crisis," Gore said in a statement. The campaign ends with the final presentation by Gore starting at 7:00 pm (2300 GMT) in New York.
...and you'll nev-er freeze aaaaaaalone! Good night, everybody!
Gore won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
Which I believe is now sponsored by Cracker Jack...
A slideshow presented by Gore about the dangers of climate change was the basis of the popular 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," which grossed 49 million dollars worldwide.
...click...and here's my big house in Montecito...click...and the big one in Nashville...click...and here's my big houseboat...click...
How much did it net, by the by? I'm trying to figure out if it was actually a success or a failure, beyond that British judge laying out exactly why it was school inappropriate for school classrooms.

#8  I can't imagine taking the time to watch his stupidity, since I have more pressing things to do with my time - like watching oil paint dry.

But here's a hilarious quick summary of the whole thing courtesy of WUWT.

#7  Sounds more like 'repeat a lie often enough and people will start to believe it!'

#6  I watched randomly through the last few hours, and noted that much of what had been offered as "settled science" was repeated in following hours. In fact, I didn't hear any new or ear/eye-popping rhetoric at all.

You must believe because we believe. (Oh, and you must pass this bill.)

#5  Via Drudge today:


The global warming theory left him out in the cold.

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that "global warming is occurring."

The official position of the American Physical Society (APS) supports the theory that man's actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.

#4  In a nutshell, Gore will announce that "ManBearPig" now has an evil henchman he calls "CrazedSexPoodle", who is none other than Al Gore's evil twin brother.

You can tell because CrazedSexPoodle has a goatee, and he's a Republican!

#3  The more people get exposed to "climate" science the more they think it stinks.

IF they kept real quiet and kept the money quiet they'd have gotten away with it. However Narcisism is a core part of the radical-leftist illness that makes up those pushing most and they just ruined it for their fellow scammers.

#2  Damn it's cold here now that the Gore front has passed through. But there were nice clouds.
