Los Angeles School Built on Toxic Site Named After Al Gore
Absolutely Hilarious .
Al Gore has his name on a School that is on top of a Contaminated soil Site !
Foxnews
The $75.5 million facility was named after Gore, who has made bringing awareness to climate change a personal cause since leaving office, and environmental author Rachel Carson. The former vice president was never informed the school would bear his name.
According to the Times , the soil underneath the building used to hold more than a dozen storage tanks. An environmental coalition complained that the school was an "affront" to its namesakes.
Crews worked to mitigate the damage from the tanks by replacing the toxic soil with clean soil -- two 3,800-square-foot plots of it. But the school is also near underground tanks from a nearby gas station, near an oil well, above an oil field and on top of contaminated groundwater.
School officials, however, say those potential hazards pose no risks and that they will continue to monitor for any changes. Top school safety officer John Sterritt told the Times "there's no doubt in my mind that the site is safe" after a $4 million cleanup.

U.N. Climate Panel Embraces 'Diversity' -- Geographically
"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."
Oh my aching head , the U.N is getting ready to try and justify part of their existence , through Diversity .
not that any of these asswipes know what they are doing or talking about but there are Women on the panel this time for the new Climate report !
That is their diverseness , Women , not saying if they are Scientists or not just that they have included Women !
So if you thought it was bad before just wait , it gets better !
Foxnews
Diversity, apparently, is in the eye of the beholder.
The United Nations, which has come under fire for stocking its climate change group with scientists who are lockstep in their endorsement of the theory of manmade global warming, is trumpeting the "more diverse" panel it has selected for its fifth report on the issue, expected in 2014.
But that doesn't mean the UN is assembling a group that is open-minded to contrary theories. All it means, critics say, is that the scientists will come from a more diverse range of countries.
The more things change, they say, the more you can bet they'll stay the same.
According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 60 percent of the team it assembled to produce its fifth assessment on climate change -- a document called the "AR5" -- is new to the panel. The report then loudly trumpets the wide array of participating countries and an increased number of women among the panelists -- not their viewpoints on the contentious issue they will study.
"Participation from developing countries has been increased reflecting the ongoing efforts to improve regional coverage in the AR5," the IPCC says. "About 30% of [the report's] authors will come from developing countries or economies in transition," the IPCC says. "The proportion of female experts has significantly increased since the AR4, reaching approximately 25% of the selected authors."
But the U.N.'s complete list of authors doesn't cite their field of expertise or their perspective on climate change. In fact, the country each scientist comes from is the only bit of information the U.N. deemed relevant to cite.
Asked to explain how the U.N. selected the panel from among 3,000 nominees, spokeswoman Carine Richard Van Maele declined to comment. But Michael Mann of Penn State University, a leading global-warming guru, was enthusiastic about the selections. "It looks like a great bunch of scientists, and I'm happy to see a lot of new blood in there, and an appropriate diversity of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints," Mann told FoxNews.com.
But other policy experts and scientists fretted that the panel's geographic diversity won't guarantee an accurate report.
"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."

Al's Latest Global-Warming Whopper / or how Al Gore is a big fat Liar !
O.k. so Al gore is a liar , we know this now !
what is to be done now that Global warming has been exposed as the Biggest hoax perpetrated by a politician ?
What about all the tax Dollars that have been wasted ?
A Refund ?
protecting the environment is very important , but should we be subject to ridicule , extreme legislation and badgering in the name of a lie ?
no we should not .
How about some real science , let us try that for a change instead of hearing Bullshit out of a Jackass like Al Gore !
....
Al Gore's defense of global-warming hysteria in Sunday's New York Times has many flaws, but I'll focus on just one whopper -- where the "Inconvenient Truth" man states the opposite of scientific fact.
Gore wrote, "The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere -- thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States."
It's an interesting theory, but where are the facts?
According to "State of the Climate" from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Global precipitation in 2009 was near the 1961-1990 average." And there was certainly no pattern of increasing rain and snow on America's East Coast during the post-1976 years, when NOAA says the globe began to heat up.
So what was it, exactly, that Gore's nameless scientists "have long pointed out"? A 2008 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "Climate Change and Water," says climate models "project precipitation increases in high latitudes and part of the tropics." In other areas, the IPCC reports only "substantial uncertainty in precipitation forecasts."
In other words, the IPCC said that its models predicted some increases in rain or snow -- not observed them. And only in high latitudes or the tropics, which hardly describes New York or Washington, DC.
In fact, recent research actually contradicts Gore's claims about "significantly more water moisture in the atmosphere."
In late January, Scientific American reported: "A mysterious drop in water vapor in the lower stratosphere might be slowing climate change," and noted that "an apparent increase in water vapor in this region in the 1980s and 1990s exacerbated global warming."
The new study came from a group of scientists, mainly from the NOAA lab in Boulder. The scientists found: "Stratospheric water-vapor concentrations decreased by about 10 percent after the year 2000 . . . This acted to slow the rate of increase in global surface temperature over 2000 to 2009 by about 25 percent."
Specifically, the study found that water vapor rising from the tropics has been reduced, because it has gotten cooler there (another inconvenient truth). A Wall Street Journal headline summed it up: "Slowdown in Warming Linked to Water Vapor."
Moisture in the lower stratosphere (about 8 miles above the earth's surface) has been going down, not up.
Aside from clouds, water vapor accounts for as much as two-thirds of the earth's greenhouse-gas effect. Water vapor traps heat from escaping the atmosphere -- but clouds have the opposite effect (called "albedo") by reflecting the sun's energy back into space. And snow on the ground from the IPCC's predicted precipitation in high latitudes would have the same cooling effect as clouds.
What the new research suggests is that changes in water vapor may well trump the effect of carbon dioxide (only a fraction of which is man-made) and methane (which has mysteriously slowed since about 1990).
This raises an intriguing question: Since the Environmental Protection Agency declared that it has the authority to regulation carbon emissions because of their presumed effect on the global climate, why hasn't the EPA also attempted to regulate mist and fog?

You Can Call Him Al ... But Al Won't Call You Back
You can't expect the great Al Gore , to speak the truth about Global warming , not when he has these kind of thoughts on his mind ...
at the IBM Pulse Conference in Las Vegas, Gore commented on how the environment was a fantastic business opportunity.
Yes money , that is all it comes down to ! Our money in big Al Gore's pocket , he does not really love the environment he loves the money he gets from scaring the hell out of everyone .
Foxnews
Al Gore won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. But in the last three months, as global warming has gone from a scientific near-certitude to the subject of satire, Gore -- the public face of global warming -- has been silent on the topic.
The former vice president apparently finds it inconvenient even to answer calls to testify before the U.S. Senate. You can call him Al . . . but he won't call back.
On Tuesday, Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe -- a prominent skeptic of global warming theory and the Republican leader of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee -- issued a request for Gore to come testify on global warming. In an interview with FoxNews.com, Inhofe said he wants Gore to appear because "it will be interesting to ask him on what science he based his movie," a film the senator considers "science fiction."
Gore has yet to respond, but that didn't prevent him from causing a stir at Apple's shareholder meeting Thursday. According to CNET, Gore was seated in the first row while several stockholders bashed his high-profile views on climate change. One reportedly said Gore "has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted."
Gore did not reply, and he has not commented on his blog or Twitter feed.
Inhofe says he hopes Gore will address the recent Climate-gate scandals that have besmirched the science, scientists and politicians who back the theory of manmade climate change. Last fall, news outlets in the United Kingdom exposed a scandal in which leading global warming scientists conspired in e-mails to hide data that contradicted "proof" of manmade global warming. Then the world's leaders failed to reach a deal on climate change policy in Copenhagen. And the U.N.'s climate change research body admitted flaws in its report that concluded that the Himalayan glaciers were melting, the Arctic ice cap was fading away, and the Amazon rainforest was in imminent danger.
Since his appearance at the Copenhagen climate summit in December, Gore has been reluctant to talk to the media, making only a handful of public appearances.
On Jan. 16, he spoke at the American Library Association conference at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, and he signed copies of his newest book, Our Choice: How We Can Solve the Climate Crisis.On Feb. 22, at the IBM Pulse Conference in Las Vegas, Gore commented on how the environment was a fantastic business opportunity.

Bin Laden joins Al Gore in global warming crusade
From al Jazeera:
Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, has condemned the US and other industrial economies, holding them responsible for the phenomenon of climate change.
In an audio tape obtained by Al Jazeera, bin Laden criticised George Bush, the former US president, for rejecting the Kyoto pact and condemned global corporations.
"This is a message to the whole world about those responsible for climate change and its repercussions - whether intentionally or unintentionally - and about the action we must take," bin Laden said.
"Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury - the phenomenon is an actual fact." (Bwa-ha-ha!)
[...]
In the new recording, bin Laden said: "Noam Chomsky [the US academic and political commentator] was correct when he compared the US policies to those of the Mafia. They are the true terrorists and therefore we should refrain from dealing in the US dollar and should try to get rid of this currency as early as possible.
"I am certain that such actions will have grave repercussions and huge impact."
While continuing to attack America, bin Laden's comments mark a shift from his earlier, more regionally focused commentary.

World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown
The report read: "Glaciers in the Himalaya are receding faster than in any other part of the world and, if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate."
The World has been misled !
Now what does Al Gore have to say ?
Just another nail in the coffin of Global Warming .
Timesonline
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.
Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.
In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report.
It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research. If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research. The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change.

Orange Bowl coldest in history
And how is it that they can say that the earth is warming ? (Miami Herald)
ALL BUNDLED UP
When Lenny and Bonnie Hines left their home in Davenport, Iowa, last week for a vacation in the Sunshine State, the last thing they expected was to have to be bundling up.
But that's what they were doing at Land Shark Stadium as temperatures dipped to record lows in the 76th annual Orange Bowl.
The temperature of 49 degrees at kickoff made Tuesday's game the coldest Orange Bowl game ever. The previous record was 57 degrees when Kansas beat Virginia Tech 24-21 in 2008.
``We're just mad because it's cold and we haven't been able to wear shorts at all on this vacation,'' Lenny Hines said. ``The hottest it's been since we've been in Florida is 63 degrees. But we aren't complaining. There were five, six inches of snow on the ground when we left, and I think the high was 10 [degrees].''

Inconvenient Truth for Gore as Arctic Ice Claims Don't Add Up
....Foxnews
The former vice president said new research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years, but the scientist his estimate was based on denies the timeline.
There are many kinds of truth. Al Gore was hit by an inconvenient one yesterday.
The former vice president, who became an unlikely figurehead for the green movement after narrating the Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," became entangled in a new climate change row.
Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.
In his speech, Gore told the conference: "These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr. [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years."
However, the climatologist whose work Gore was relying upon dropped the former vice president in the water with an icy blast.
"It's unclear to me how this figure was arrived at," Dr. Maslowski said. "I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this."
Gore's office later admitted that the 75 percent figure was one used by Dr. Maslowski as a "ballpark figure" several years ago in a conversation with Gore.
The embarrassing error cast another shadow over the conference after the controversy over the hacked e-mails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, which appeared to suggest that scientists had manipulated data to strengthen their argument that human activities were causing global warming.

As hybrid cars gobble rare metals, shortage looms
I'm sure Al Gore won't mind that the overpriced Hybrid cars , he thinks we all should drive , Are responsible for the raping of the earth and it's precious metals ! as long as the emissions stay low , and he can still ride in a suburban when he needs to travel !
....
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Prius hybrid automobile is popular for its fuel efficiency, but its electric motor and battery guzzle rare earth metals, a little-known class of elements found in a wide range of gadgets and consumer goods.
That makes Toyota's market-leading gasoline-electric hybrid car and other similar vehicles vulnerable to a supply crunch predicted by experts as China, the world's dominant rare earths producer, limits exports while global demand swells.
Worldwide demand for rare earths, covering 15 entries on the periodic table of elements, is expected to exceed supply by some 40,000 tonnes annually in several years unless major new production sources are developed. One promising U.S. source is a rare earths mine slated to reopen in California by 2012.
Among the rare earths that would be most affected in a shortage is neodymium, the key component of an alloy used to make the high-power, lightweight magnets for electric motors of hybrid cars, such as the Prius, Honda Insight and Ford Focus, as well as in generators for wind turbines.
Close cousins terbium and dysprosium are added in smaller amounts to the alloy to preserve neodymium's magnetic properties at high temperatures. Yet another rare earth metal, lanthanum, is a major ingredient for hybrid car batteries.
Production of both hybrids cars and wind turbines is expected to climb sharply amid the clamor for cleaner transportation and energy alternatives that reduce dependence on fossil fuels blamed for global climate change.

Al Gore: Health care reform is a moral duty
the country has “a moral duty to pass health care reform. This year.”
Because health care reform will save the economy, and the world from global warming or something like that.

Gore: climate bill will help bring about “global governance.”
“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”
So the Cap and Trade bill, which the EPA even admits won't help to stop climate change, isn't about global warming....it's about global governance. Climate Depot
Former Vice President Al Gore declared that the Congressional climate bill will help bring about “global governance.”
“I bring you good news from the U.S., “Gore said on July 7, 2009 in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times.[...]
“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”
Gore's call for “global governance” echoes former French President Jacques Chirac's call in 2000.
On November 20, 2000, then French President Chirac said during a speech at The Hague that the UN's Kyoto Protocol represented "the first component of an authentic global governance."
“For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance,” Chirac explained. “From the very earliest age, we should make environmental awareness a major theme of education and a major theme of political debate, until respect for the environment comes to be as fundamental as safeguarding our rights and freedoms. By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace,” Chirac added.

Al Gore likens fight against climate change to war against Nazis
Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War II.” He added: “We have everything we need except political will but political will is a renewable resource.”...I'm like totally serial.
Al Gore then went on to complain that the public has yet to buy into the man made global warming scam.
Instead of focusing our energy on some manbearpig climate change scam, we should be focused on defeating the real Nazis of our time. Regimes like Iran, North Korea, al Qaida, the taliban, al Shabaab, Hizbollah, Hamas, Syria and China are just some of the real fascists of our time.Times Online

Gore, others urge CEOs to back climate change deal
Blah , Blah , Blah ! It is so tiring to hear this same old B.S. , Time after time it has been disproved and every time Al Gore pipes up Again ! If he did not have so much to gain through his business dealings , It might be a different story ! But really , it is just another Liberal , AssMonkey trying to make a Buck at the peoples expense , all the time pushing an agenda very few people believe in !
COPENHAGEN (AP) — Climate-change heavyweights U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon
and Nobel prize winner Al Gore urged more than 500 business leaders on
Sunday to lend their corporate muscle to reaching a global deal on
reducing greenhouse gases.
The CEOs of PepsiCo, Nestle, BP and
other of the world's major businesses began meeting in Copenhagen,
where politicians will gather in December to negotiate a new
U.N.-brokered climate treaty.
Despite the global financial
crisis, both Ban and Gore said there was no time for delay in hashing
out the specifics of how to cut greenhouse gases that contribute to
warming the planet.
"We have to do it this year. Not next year.
This year," Gore said. "The clock is ticking, because Mother Nature
does not do bailouts."
The three-day World Business Summit on
Climate Change is a precursor to the negotiations to determine what
will succeed the Kyoto climate treaty that expires in 2012.
"Continuing
to pour trillions of dollars into fossil-fuel subsidies is like
investing in subprime real estate," Ban said. "Our carbon-based
infrastructure is like a toxic asset that threatens the portfolio of
global goods, from public health to food security."
A new global
warming treaty would build on the Kyoto treaty's mixed success in
requiring that 37 industrialized nations reduce greenhouse gas
emissions an average of 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2012.

N.K. journalist update !
The two women "detained" by north Korea , work for an Online org. Current T.V. Network , co founded by none other than Former V.P Al Gore !
