The trolls posting on this thread are proving the title of another TP topic: Right Wing Launches Dishonest, Misinformed Attacks Against Live Earth.

Inconvenient Truth isn’t it, you nasty, inbred, NeoCon-worshiping Trolls!

We need Al Gore to hold his breath to stop CO2 from destroying the world. That is about the only way he will save earth. He needs to practice what he preaches. Take a look at his power bill. In one month, his residence uses more energy than the average Tennessee residence uses in a whole year. If you don’t believe it, it has been posted for public view. Maybe you should investigate your Piper before you follow him over the cliff.

Al Gore needs to hold his breath and cut down on CO2. That is about the only way the world can be saved. He also needs to practice what he preaches. Take a look at his energy bill for a month and compare it to the average Tennessee resident. It is more in one month than what a single residential home uses in a year.

Any one who would think this is a ‘partisan’ event is a complete moron. I didn’t realize Democrats were the only people using lights, water and/or whatever resources in everyday life. Even if it WAS a partisan event wouldn’t one want to for ONCE support someone who is trying to help the planet and not just someone in a specific party? This is not about sides, it’s about making sure we all have a planet to live on in the next coming years; not for Democrats to live. I’m not a demo or rep, but I would like to…I don’t know….maybe BREATHE or something in the future. We all do! If you don’t support Gore then that’s ok. You should at least be smart enough to support the cause.

Fortunately, we had to reschedule our DC trip. Otherwise we would have had to endure this foolishness. We probably would have had to skip this part of the tour altogether in order to shield our children from the attendees.

“Excellent. So you agree with the scientific consensus on global climate change. Thatâ€™s all I care about –

Comment by toasterhead â€” July 6, 2007″

If it’s conclusion is that it is causing global warming the answer is NO I don’t! By the way, algore is fat and his son was just arrested!

I didnâ€™t challenge you on anthropogenic climate change, I was challenging conclusions from algores book printed above! One of those was â€œGore claims hurricane frequency is increasing due to global warmingâ€. You modified that statement by inserting the words western Pacific. Not that I believe it. So what other algore statements do you need to change?

Excellent. So you agree with the scientific consensus on global climate change. That’s all I care about – you can rant about Al Gore all you want – I don’t care. Don’t forget to mention that he’s fat and his son was arrested.

T-head,
Here’s your consensus. The consensus statement from the 6th International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones of the WMO (Dec 2006). The IPCC was established by the UNEP and WMO in 1988. This consensus statement includes notable climate experts and IPCC autrhors such as Kerry Emanuel. Yet TP climate alarmists continue to connect hurricanes with anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The science is not settled, Al Bore. You’re lying when you say it is.

6th International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones of the World Meteorological Organization

1. Though there is evidence both for and against the existence of a detectable anthropogenic signal in the tropical cyclone climate record to date, no firm conclusion can be made on this point.

2. No individual tropical cyclone can be directly attributed to climate change.

3. The recent increase in societal impact from tropical cyclones has largely been caused by rising concentrations of population and infrastructure in coastal regions.

4. Tropical cyclone wind-speed monitoring has changed dramatically over the last few decades, leading to difficulties in determining accurate trends.

5. There is an observed multi-decadal variability of tropical cyclones in some regions whose causes, whether natural, anthropogenic or a combination, are currently being debated. This variability makes detecting any long-term trends in tropical cyclone activity difficult.

6. It is likely that some increase in tropical cyclone peak wind-speed and rainfall will occur if the climate continues to warm. Model studies and theory project a 3-5% increase in wind-speed per degree Celsius increase of tropical sea surface temperatures.

7. There is an inconsistency between the small changes in wind-speed projected by theory and modeling versus large changes reported by some observational studies.

8. Although recent climate model simulations project a decrease or no change in global tropical cyclone numbers in a warmer climate, there is low confidence in this projection. In addition, it is unknown how tropical cyclone tracks or areas of impact will change in the future.

9. Large regional variations exist in methods used to monitor tropical cyclones. Also, most regions have no measurements by instrumented aircraft. These significant limitations will continue to make detection of trends difficult.

10. If the projected rise in sea level due to global warming occurs, then the vulnerability to tropical cyclone storm surge flooding would increase.

As I stated above this is all about MONEY! Many reputable people feel Gore is nothing but hot air, as documented above.

“Also – the global warming-wind shear model only shows a reduction in Atlantic hurricanes. It found that conditions elsewhere, such as in the western Pacific, will be more conducive to hurricanes.

Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes. However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1 documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past. Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27, that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane activity.

There are many factors contributing to hurricane formation and intensity, including patterns such as El Nino. Geophysical Research Letters and other publications have also published several other studies linking climate change and hurricane intensity.

Also – the global warming-wind shear model only shows a reduction in Atlantic hurricanes. It found that conditions elsewhere, such as in the western Pacific, will be more conducive to hurricanes. It also does not discount the overall theory of climate change. “This study does not, in any way, undermine the widespread consensus in the scientific community about the reality of global warming,” said co-author Brian Soden. “In fact, the wind shear changes are driven by global warming.”
