Al Gore-coached climate change speaker [Dr. Peter Joseph] delivers the goods in Red Bluff ...“We’re at a tipping point,” he said. “Our biggest worry today is not a nuclear winter but a carbon summer.”
At that point a middle-aged man lowered his head, raised his fist to his mouth and made a mock coughing sound as he shouted, “Bullshit!” Several alarmed audience members turned toward him, and when a woman admonished him he retorted, “What, I can cough, can’t I?”
...He also said that skeptic groups such as the Heartland Institute and The George C. Marshall Institute are funded by large petroleum and corporate interests with profit-driven motives. In past decades such groups lobbied legislators heavily to convince them that tobacco and secondhand smoke were harmless, despite documentation that showed 100 million died worldwide from smoking in the 1900s.
...His talk was bolstered with graphics and videos, such as a photo of a hypodermic needle with a quotation by former President George Bush Jr. that read, “We’re addicted to oil.” Joseph recounted how as a physician he’d treated many military veteran addicts who engaged in behavior that could kill them.
“We’re like that, except we use fossil fuels,” he said.
...“The question is not if we’ll have deadly global warming, but how fast it will happen,” Joseph warned.
...We need a sense of urgency like we had the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor,” Joseph said.
When one woman questioned the use of windmills because they can kill birds, Joseph replied, “Yes, everything has a cost. Windmills have been known to kill some birds, but global warming will make them extinct."
