WAPO Op-Ed Contributor - "We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change" - Al Gore, Climate Change Whore Emeritus

Nor should we wish away the billions and billions he and his closest friends banked on this fraud and we're ready to cash in like lotto winners with the winning numbers in the bag.

He's back and defending himself somewhat with a three page internet wise op ed at the WAPO at where else but the New York Times, and Drudge's page reflects that this morning,  and it takes a lot for him to add a headline on the weekend of a Global combo earthquake - tsunami.

That's why Al Chose the coldest and crappiest weekend with half the east coast's internet down and electric down so he can let loose with "Ah what's a few mistakes among billionaires right?"

Op-Ed Contributor - We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change - NYTimes.com: "It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it."

Of course, we would still need to deal with the national security risks of our growing dependence on a global oil market dominated by dwindling reserves in the most unstable region of the world, and the economic risks of sending hundreds of billions of dollars a year overseas in return for that oil. And we would still trail China in the race to develop smart grids, fast trains, solar power, wind, geothermal and other renewable sources of energy — the most important sources of new jobs in the 21st century.|

But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.

I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion. But unfortunately, the reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed by the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In fact, the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer.

It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law.  way more here

It's a tough read when you know this is all leading to the soft mea culpa we've been awaiting.... and he and his friends think they'll just keep smiling while waving and boarding  a lear jet for the South Pole hoping to let billions of "bye gone's" be "by -gone's".

I for one hope and pray the citizens of the world demand to see some real action against these people now that evidence of a global conspiracy all jokes aside has presented itself in this most strange, complete and awkward collapse of the climate change aka global warming movement we've all seen take place before our very eyes.
