Roger's Rules » The Al Gore Comedy Hour
A nice question: does Al Gore actually believe the rubbish he spouts? Or is it merely opportunism on the march? I don’t know, but if I were a betting man, I’d say that he has successfully melded credulity and opportunism in to one bloviating whole. Never mind the fact — that’s “fact,” Kemo Sabe, as in “what is actually the case, no foolin’” — never mind that the entire Climate Hysteria Industry is in full-scale retreat since the East Anglia University fraud was revealed last year. Phil Jones will not, repeat not, be attending any environmental rallies until further notice.

It is just lovely that the New York Times — the world’s most discredited newspaper — would give so thoroughly discredited a mountebank this lavish soapbox upon which to make a fool of himself. Next stop, Hyde Park Corner — or maybe a padded cell.
American Thinker Blog: Al Gore's weird, disconnected op-ed on climate change
Reading this New York Times op-ed by Al Gore gives you the distinct impression that he has been off somewhere communing with the global warming gods and hasn't been paying attention to the collapse of his "overwhelming consensus" on climate change:

All in all, it is good to see Gore back in form defending his carbon-offset racket. But it it always sad when the protagonist learns no lessons and doesn’t develop as a character.

The truth is finally starting to come on this sad tale. Al Gore has always been a political opportunist. Gore’s name on the Nobel Peace Prize disgraced the award long before Obama made it official. Gore’s Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth may go down in history as one of Hollywood’s most ignorant moments of all time (that’s saying something). In a way this is the worst thing that ever could happen to Gore. Losing the election was painful, but Gore has always cared deeply about what others think of him. As the fraud and bad science add up on the theory of man-made global so does the ridicule for Al Gore.
