Rex Murphy on the unethical Al Gore and his eager beaver fans ....

at the Globe & Mail.   In my opinion, Mr.Murphy is one of the last  clear-headed intellectuals remaining at the National Post.  National Post  used to be a bastion for conservatism, but sadly, not any more.

Rex Murphy writing at NationalPost:
....Because this column is written on Friday, I have no idea   what luminary graces the front page of today’s weekend edition of the Globe & Mail newspaper. But I am still recovering from their choice for the marquee spot last Saturday, when I saw, gleaming at me from a newsstand, a full, front-page photograph of Al Gore.

Such iconography suggests world importance on the scale of Nelson Mandela. Al Gore falls short of that level of epicness by several orders of magnitude.

In truth, Mr. Gore’s star has been fading for years, which is why the Globe’s front-page looked a decade old. His eco-alarmism is stale. The urgency of his early appeal has decayed into mere stridency. The very subject of global warming has grown more complicated.

Which raises the question of how relevant Al Gore is anymore. Has he been saying anything new to earn such a front-page tribute?

As far as I could tell, out of the fogbank of predictable platitudes and eco-mush he served up to his eager Canadian interviewer, the big “news” was that Gore slagged Alberta and the oil sands. He accused Alberta and those who support its oil industry, and the thousands and thousands of Canadians who work at it, of treating the atmosphere of sweet Mother Earth as an “open sewer.” He insisted on the point repeatedly.

Well, stop the presses indeed. Bashing Alberta is every lazy global warming environmentalist’s equivalent of morning prayer. Fort McMurray has been cast to play Hellmouth, the emblem of all that is..............

There's nothing more entertaining than seeing two rabid lefties go at each other's throats

Here's hoping they do the world a world of good by tearing out the vocal chords from each other.

Lord Monckton on Pajamas TV

Talks about the alarmism of Al Gore's AGW and about the BBC's handling of the issue and the possible investigation into the role of the media in hoodwinking the general public. Touches on a long list of topics we have always wanted someone to say out loud and clearly.  Throws out a challenge to Gore for a face-to-face debate.

Scratch a "saint" and find a filthy multi-billionaire

Lord Monckton points a finger to Maurice Strong as the wizard behind Al Gore and the AGW scam.  So many wolves in sheep's clothing, I am losing count.   In the guise of helping the poor nations, the rich like Soros, Strong and other of same ilk, become more stinking rich.

Climategate and the crooked crooks

Very informative and detailed article on "climategate"

....The leaked e-mails did not surprise McKitrick He told me that scientists closely interacting with the IPCC had resorted to “playground bullying, intolerance of dissent.” People at the IPCC are “very insular, very defensive, they don’t like being criticized, and what I mean by that is, if a paper comes out that they disagree with, they’re less likely to grapple with the content [and instead] will attack.” Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Harvard and a long-time skeptic, says of the e-mails: “These are not ambiguous. They’re talking about suppressing other scientists. But there’s no surprise. Those of us who are in the field have seen this. The only surprise is that someone actually got hold and sorted these documents.”............

.........Yet the scandal has not led to serious policy reconsiderations or even significant stigmatization for many of the scientists and organizations implicated. Instead, even as fundamental suppositions about climate change were being challenged, the Environmental Protection Agency took initial steps to implement the most extensive carbon-emissions regulations the United States has ever seen. And only a few weeks afterward, the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, with 192 countries in attendance, began without meaningfully addressing the Climategate e-mails..........
