Kerry: Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be "super-focused" on nonsensical responses to Gore's scam
"The road to Copenhagen is now very clear. It starts with the passage of President Barack Obama's stimulus bill in its entirety. And then, secondly, we need to put a price on carbon by passing cap and trade legislation," Gore said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. "In other words, this crisis is an opportunity."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he asked Gore to testify before the panel so "the message can go out loud and clear that the committee is going to be relentless and super-focused" on preparations for Copenhagen.

Gore is the perfect messenger, Kerry said.

"It might be that the global warming impact of putting material through an incinerator five miles down the road is actually less than recycling it 3,000 miles away," he said.

"We've got to urgently get a grip on how this material is flowing through the system; whether we're actually adding to or reducing the overall impact in terms of global warming potential in this process."

RealClimate alarmist Gavin Schmidt admits that the science isn't settled
The poor level of their response is not surprising, but it does exemplify the tactics of the whole 'bury ones head in the sand" movement - they'd much rather make noise than actually work out what is happening. It would be nice if this demonstration of intellectual bankruptcy got some media attention itself.
So far, I've seen no RealClimate post about Hansen's former boss coming out as a skeptic. I wonder why?

What Gore didn't say. the crisis is an opportunity for him to get rich. His company, and him directly, directly benefits financially from the cap and trade tax scam.

So why would anyone listen to him about this crap?
