Al Gore testifies to the Senate yet again,"The scientists are practically screaming from the rooftops,", but even Dana Milbank is cracking up as The Goracle breaks into a sweat:
Once Al Gore was a mere vice president, but now he is a Nobel laureate and climate-change prophet. He repeats phrases such as "unified national smart grid" the way he once did "no controlling legal authority" -- and the ridicule has been replaced by worship, even by his political foes. [snip]The Goracle's powers seem to come from his ability to scare the bejesus out of people. "We must face up to this urgent and unprecedented threat to the existence of our civilization," he said. And: "This is the most serious challenge the world has ever faced." And: It "could completely end human civilization, and it is rushing at us with such speed and force."
Awk, that great sage Sen. Dick Lugar gets cautiously existential:
Dick Lugar (Ind.), the ranking Republican, agreed that there will be "an almost existential impact" from the climate changes Gore described.Apparently he has an exciting new slide show, which Milbank also described, and lurid descriptions of polar ice. Once again we are reminded that Al Gore had a failed career as a journalist, never finished law school, nor divinity school--and his faith in global warming is the pinnacle of his past failures. CEI's Steven Milloy says Al Gore has Venus Envy. Planet Gore lampoons our new president, who turned up the White House thermostat the other day.
And rebuttal from the weather channel founder--the genesis of the scam.
Hey, Al--you have the Nobel Peace Prize--leave us in peace.
