Memo to Capitalists: Be Very Afraid | Gather

ByDavid Limbaugh -- Lately, MSNBC's Chris Matthews has been on a childish tear, taunting Republicans to admit their belief in the biblical account of the Creation. Someone ought to ask this paragon of smug self-satisfaction why, if he's so brilliant, he unquestioningly echoes the demagogic hyperbole of global warming fanatics hellbent on destroying the economic system responsible for producing unprecedented prosperity in the advanced industrialized world.

The politics of climate change: from economic crisis to business revolution

This conference, organised by Policy Network in association with the LSE’s Centre for the Study of Global Governance, will bring together leaders of the highest rank from the worlds of politics, academia and business.

The aim of the event is to discuss how the present economic crisis can lead to a business revolution in low-carbon industries and how the state can best play an active, incentivising and facilitating role in this process. Combining interactive plenary and roundtable discussions, the conference will also address how in the global recession policymakers and business stakeholders can build long-term political support for a low-carbon transition, mitigate serious energy security concerns, and ensure that a low-carbon society does not precipitate and entrench new inequalities.

Confirmed keynote speakers to date include:

Peter Mandelson, the UK secretary of state for business
Ed Miliband, the UK secretary of state for energy and climate change
Jonas Gahr Støre, the Norwegian foreign minister
John Podesta, former chief of staff to President Clinton

The Climate [Hoax] Project, Phase Two

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Climate Project (TCP), an international non-profit organization founded by Nobel Laureate and former Vice President Al Gore, will host its North American Summit at the newly opened Hutton Hotel May 14 - 16, 2009.

The Summit marks the beginning of The Climate Project's "Phase Two," which signals the transition from its original mission of increasing public awareness of the climate crisis to its expanded objective of "advocacy and activism." The Climate Project now seeks to educate people on how to get involved and take action to persuade elected officials and community leaders to urgently confront climate change concerns.

"The Hutton Hotel's commitment to sustainability and conservation made it the natural choice for us in terms of locations for our North American Summit. We are excited to be hosting our event at the Hutton, Nashville's newest hotel in Al Gore's hometown, and to be bringing more than 500 committed TCP climate change ambassadors from across the U.S. and Canada to the area for this significant event," said Jenny Clad, Executive Director of The Climate Project.

Jan '08: - [Huckster] Gore cites political will, claims scriptural mandate on environmental issues

ATLANTA (BP)--Protecting the earth from global warming is a mandatory part of following Jesus, former Vice President Al Gore said at a "Stewardship of the Earth" luncheon Jan. 31 during the New Baptist Covenant Celebration in Atlanta.

"This is not a political issue," Gore told a crowd of approximately 2,500 paying attendees. "It is a moral issue. It is an ethical issue. It is a spiritual issue."
