Startling concession devastates legitimacy of carbon tax, cap and trade agenda
In a new development that is potentially devastating to the agenda to introduce a global carbon tax and a cap and trade system, Al Gore admits that the majority of global warming that occurred until 2001 was not primarily caused by CO2.
Before we get too excited, Gore is not backing away from his support for the theory of man-made climate change, but his concession that carbon dioxide only accounted for 40% of warming according to new studies could seriously harm efforts to tax CO2, that evil, life-giving gas that humans exhale and plants absorb.
"Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions," reports BB News.
Yesterday we reported on how Gore was set to become the first "carbon billionaire" on the back of vast profits from companies invested in the "green revolution" that the former vice-president has a hefty stake in.
We also highlighted how the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has direct ties to both Al Gore and Maurice Strong, two figures intimately involved with a long standing movement to use the theory of man made global warming as a mechanism for profit and social engineering. Gore's investment company, Generation Investment Management, which sells carbon offset opportunities, is the largest shareholder of CCX.
Gore stands to make windfall profits from his stake in carbon trading systems that would be used to manage the cap and trade system currently being readied for passage in the Senate, but his admission that CO2 is far less of a threat than global warming alarmists have been claiming could be a terminal blow for such a proposal.
As Andrew Bolt writes in today's Australian Herald Sun, his flip-flopping "Suggests not only that was Gore wrong to claim the science was "settled", but that the hugely expensive schemes to "stop" warming by slashing carbon dioxide emissions will be less than half as effective as claimed."
"Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all on CO2, and I think that's still justified," Gore told Newsweek . "But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to widen the focus to encompass strategies for all" of the greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study."
Gore now blames soot and methane for the majority of global warming, leaving the door open for a tax on livestock, a tax on meat, a tax on milk, and on and on until he changes his mind again and blames another culprit so that too can be taxed.
In another indictment of Gore's accuracy in warning about climate change, he has now virtually abandoned scientific "facts" in favor of characterizing his Inconvenient Truth presentation in the context of a religious sermon.
"Simply laying out the facts won't work," admits Gore.
That's right, the church of environmentalism has come full circle with Gore's intention to deliver his widely debunked presentation with spiritual overtones, a move that will shock most hard-headed empirical scientists.
"I've done a Christian [-based] training program; I have a Muslim training program and a Jewish training program coming up, also a Hindu program coming up. I trained 200 Christian ministers and lay leaders here in Nashville in a version of the slide show that is filled with scriptural references. It's probably my favorite version, but I don't use it very often because it can come off as proselytizing," Gore tells Newsweek.
In a new book Gore has been working on, he attempts to address the rapidly growing skepticism towards global warming alarmism not with science, but by blaming people's own thoughts, a Kafkaesque cop-out if ever there was one.
According to the book's press release, "Among the most unique approaches Gore takes in the book is showing readers how our own minds can be an impediment to change."
"Our own minds are the enemy! Don't free the minds - imprison them!," scoffs Tim Blair.
How long the governments in our world accept this infamous scare tactics with climatchange. I think it would be high time to bring Al Gore into jail where he belongs to, like all fraudster an liar in this word! But perhaps all the governments also promise themselves a lot of profits through all this panic...?!
This man should be jailed, or at least he should be in a mental institution. He has a mental disease. He's able to lie continuously to billions of people with no remorse. He states opinions as facts. He is illogical and unreasonable. He's driven by emotions and the lust for power. Gore is one of the worst human beings to ever live. He's mentally ill and should be confined to a psyciatric hospital where doctors can study him to learn how men like him work, so that we can try to prevent men like him from gaining power in the future.
About time! Imagine if he had been elected? makes me shudder to consider how much more damage he could have done. Comments about the "religion" of warmists appears very true..Beware the False Prophets!
so Copenhagen can be called off and all the Carbon that would have been used, can be saved:-) and a whole lot of hot air retained also!
Now of course there are a lot of brainwashed and fear mongered "believers" who need to be counselled I guess?
wonder how many( Very) inconvenient cds books etc will be hitting the dumpsters real soon?
the IPCC backflip will be as good as a circus!
if it wasn't 3am in Australia I would be calling my friends round for a party!
conman, scammer, and all round LIAR!
I am truly going to enjoy watching the pollies go into ..I wasn,t fooled but had to go along for the voters mode...
No one in the global warming movement is going to say anything. It is all about setting up a One World Government and stripping individuals of their property, wealth, and rights. The communist took over the environmentism moverment according to Lord Monckton. The environmnetalist
and the Trilaterilist Commission have been working hand in hand for years to bring the US to iit's knees by forcing us to spend a money and wealth on buying oil from overseas. There is more that enought oil on US territory and just off shore to supply us from thousands of years. Oh I forgot oil is actually a renewable resource. The planet makes oil all the time and has for many of thousand years.

Methane and soot are both carbon, by the way.
