Gore REFUSES to Sign Global Warming Pledge

Former Vice President Al Gore has once again proved that he is not as sure about Global Warming as the movie he made and for which he received an OSCAR. But then, with four houses, one of them a 20-room Mansion in Belle Meade (Nashville, TN) with a heated swimming pool, "taking the pledge" might cause some "hardship" as The Tennessean has already gone on record showing that Mr Gore consumes as much energy in a month as the average American consumes in a year.

WASHINGTON, DC – Former Vice President Al Gore refused to take a “Personal Energy Ethics Pledge” today (March 21. 2007) to consume no more energy than the average American household. The pledge was presented to Gore by Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, during today’s global warming hearing.

The Pledge States:

As a believer:
· that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival;

· that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;

· that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and

· that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;

I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008.”

Gore refused to take the pledge.


Washington D.C. - On December 8, 2006, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the outgoing Chairman of Environment & Public Works Committee, is pleased to announce the public release of the Senate Committee published booklet entitled “A Skeptic’s Guide to Debunking Global Warming Alarmism. Hot & Cold Media Spin Cycle: A Challenge To Journalists who Cover Global Warming.” The book features web links to all supporting documentation.

"The American people are fed up with the media for promoting the idea that former Vice President Al Gore represents the scientific “consensus” that SUV’s and the modern American way of life have somehow created a 'climate emergency' that only United Nations bureaucrats and wealthy Hollywood liberals can solve,” Senator Inhofe said in October.

Skepticism that human C02 emissions are creating a “climate catastrophe” has grown in recent times. In September, renowned French geophysicists and Socialist Party member Claude Allegre, converted from a believer in manmade catastrophic global warming to a climate skeptic. This latest defector from the global warming camp caps a year in which numerous scientific studies have bolstered the claims of climate skeptics.

Scientific studies that debunk the dire predictions of human-caused global warming have continued to accumulate and many believe the new science is shattering the media-promoted scientific “consensus” on climate alarmism.

INHOFE OPENING STATEMENT: Hearing on Vice President Al Gore’s Perspective on Global Warming

Lastly, the cost: Global warming is now big business. Thousands of individuals and even some Fortune 100 companies stand to make tens of billions of dollars.

I was on the floor opposing the ’93 Clinton-Gore tax increase of $32 billion, but the cost of Kyoto and other CO2 reduction schemes are estimated to be over $300 billion, ten times the cost of your ’93 tax increase. And who’s paying for it? Those on fixed incomes and the poor, who as a percent of their monthly budget spend five times more on energy than the average household.

Largest tax increase in history – 10 times Clinton-Gore of ’93 and the poor pay for it… and the science isn’t there. We just can’t do that to America, Mr. Vice President… and we’re not gonna.

I said all along that this Global Warming issue was a smoke screen for Al Gore to be the "savior-of-the-planet Presidential Candidate" who is encouraged by green-grassroots environmental liberals and leftists to run for the Presidency in 2008.

Baraka Hussein Obama, Jr. set himself up to run for President in 2008 by writing two books so that he would not have to answer the "hard" questions about his religious upbringing. After all, he explained himself in his books, never mind that the information in those books is inaccurate according to his classmates and school records.

But Al Gore, Jr. has done an even better job of setting himself up to be the "savior" candidate in 2008. He narrates a "documentary" movie about global warming and wins himself an OSCAR. Never mind that more and more scientists are debunking his movie as mere propaganda.

Could a documentary be false and misleading?

Addendum:
Tourism Among Worst Polluters according to Discovery News.

March 21, 2007 — Holiday-makers may be ruining their favorite destinations through pollution and greenhouse gases, making the tourism industry one of the world's worst polluters, experts say.
A flight to that pristine beach and a few nights in an air-conditioned hotel room, when repeated on the mass scale of modern tourism, is all it takes to put the holiday business on a polluting par with heavy industries.
