Stossel To ​Gore--"​Give Me A Break"

Looks like John Stossel is going to rain on Al Gore's Nobel Prize parade for a global warming planetary emergency.

Watch the 20/20 show Friday, October 19, 2007 at 8 P.M. Eastern time on ABC.

Man vs. Nature

Challenging Conventional Views About Global Warming

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=3751219&page=1

Should be on YouTube shortly for those who cannot catch the show in the USA.

Make up your own mind.

John Stossel Exposes Global Warming Myths

"...In a release from ABC previewing Stossel’s report on Friday’s “20/20,” the veteran newsman and Newsmax pundit – who won 19 Emmys exposing scammers and con artists – says:

“This week on ‘20/20’ (in our new 8 p.m. Eastern time slot) I say ‘Give Me a Break!’ to our Nobel Prize-winning Vice President.

“Mr. Gore says ‘The debate is over,’ and those who disagree with his take on global warming have been ‘purchased’ in order to create ‘the illusion of a debate.’ Nonsense. It's as if the Vice President and his allies in the environmental movement plan to win the debate through intimidation. I interview some scientists who won't be intimidated, even though one has had his life threatened for speaking up.

“The Vice President's much-applauded movie, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ claims warming is man’s fault and a coming crisis! While the earth has certainly warmed over the last century, plenty of independent scientists say scientists cannot be sure that man caused the warming or that warming will be a crisis.

“They say the computer models that are used to predict the disasters don’t include important variables because scientists don’t fully understand them. For example, warming may cause cloud formations that reflect sun and cool the earth. The computer models cannot know. These scientists call global warming activism more of a religious movement than science.”

Gore's film is filled with “misleading messages,” says Stossel. ..."

....

"...I suspect that next year's government boondoggle will be massive spending on carbon-reducing technology.

“It reminds me of George Mason University Economics Department Chairman Don Boudreax's suggestion that such schemes really mean ‘government seizing enormous amounts of additional power in order to embark upon schemes of social engineering - schemes whose pursuit gratifies the abstract fantasies of the theory class and, simultaneously, lines the very real pockets of politically powerful corporations, organizations, and “experts."’

“He is so right. The abstract fantasies of the theory class will soon send huge chunks of your money to politicians, friends, activist scientists, and politically savvy corporations.

“The debate is over? That makes me say GIVE ME A BREAK!”

Of course, Al Gore does not explain that within the past several years, one of may issues is that the earth expels green house gases naturally. Volcanos expel dust particulates ,sulfer dioxide, and

         About the polar bears dying off. those that die were from severe storms, and there population has increased ever so slightly over the years.
I for one realize that earth's climate fluccuates  a couple of decades ever so often.
         Al Gores prize was won merely as a political tool which is not a very honorable action.

C9 Readers To Raymond-- "Give Us A Break"

Or maybe

C9 Readers To Admins-- "Why Do You Keep Giving This Guy A Break?"

Not global warming again...

I watched the show.
 
Stossel hit some of the major criticisms of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and Gore assertion that their is a "consensus".

However, I got the impression that his story had been edited down to the bare minimum.

I was surprised  by how short the story was.

Stossel stated he had given Al Gore an opportunity to respond to the points he made in his report and Gore declined.


The story is not up on YouTube yet.

Until then there his earlier report:

Global Warming? Really Bad?

No we ignore it and it drops off the first page and all is well. However you bump up these threads and paste in more wastage. I ignore your posts but when you bump them up it is quite annoying.

Dear Raymond,

Post a link to your blog, so that we may comment on it and insert posts about whatever political topic concerns us at that moment.

News finally reporting on the facts... took them long enough

For months if you read the news in Oregon you'd know that the global warming argument is by no way "closed".

The university appointed state climatologist of Oregon agrees that the Earth is warming, but disagrees on the cause or the severity of it's effects. What did that earn him: good conversations with his respective counterpart in Washington (very civil between them) and the Oregon Gov wanting him kicked out of his university appointed position because of his views on the global warming issue. Since this happened a while ago, and new abour it sputtered out, I can't remember if he was removed from the position or not.


I believe this has a debate in other threads:

and 3/4 (now 4/5 with this thread) are started by raymond... so can't we wrap this up?
