Global Warming Advocates Rally Across America

by Scott Ott · 72 Comments

(2007-04-14) — Global warming advocates gathered by the millions today in hundreds of local rallies across the nation to call on Congress to step up efforts to “usher in an age when beach front property is within the reach of most average Americans, and tropical weather isn’t restricted to the elite in a narrow band near the equator.”

The rallies, timed to counter the nationwide kickoff of an anti-global warming campaign called “Step It Up 2007“, aims to “celebrate the benefits of rapidly increasing temperatures and ocean levels, and to build support in Congress for stepping up the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.”

“At the current pace,” said one unnamed warming supporter, “our grandchildren will inherit the consequences of global warming, but the current generation will still have to suffer through snowstorms in April, long drives to the beach and the ever-present threat of polar bear attacks. All we are saying, is give heat a chance.”

  • 8 RedPepper // Apr 14, 2007 at 8:46 am

    Hmmm. I would doubtless be more amused by this if it weren’t for the colossal Nor’easter that is about to slam the New York/New England area ; the storm has already hit more southern areas of the U.S. with high winds, hail, torrential rain and tornadoes.

    The storm system was headed toward the East Coast, where it was expected to create a messy weekend.

    Winds up to 25 mph were forecast for the Carolinas on Saturday before the storm was to hit the Northeast with heavy snow or rain by Sunday. Forecasters also warned of possible flooding.

    The storm’s combination of snow, rain and high wind was unusual for this time of year, said Brian Korty, a National Weather Service forecaster in Camp Springs, Md.

    Spring storm drops snow, spawns tornado .

    Sigh. Keep digging, group … I just know there’s a pony in here somewhere …

    I have to shake my head when watching the commercial about the dangers of “global warming” that warns it is 30 years away. The man is standing in front of a train and says something like it is no emergency if it is 30 years away, and then steps aside to show a little girl still standing on the tracks.

    Why shake my head?

    Because you could use the same video, with different words for social security, (which will devastate America MUCH sooner), yet the libs have laughed at this emergency!

    JL3 - I never really believed in re-incarnation until Algore appeared, now that we know where all the dodo birds went, re-incarnation is no longer just a theory. It;s a ’scientific’ fact, based on the consensus of some 2500 scientist.

    Perhaps they and their consensus are all wrong and it’s really a matter of transmorgification? And where, you ask, did I get my 2500 scientist? Why, in the same place they got theirs; The Paris and Dusseldorf city phone directories, of course.

    Wait until summer comes with temperatures in the high 90s and 100s. The Global Warming moonbats will really start coming out in force.

    c-a-t #25: Yes, I got a 100 - & yes, I listen to Maha Rushie - but I first became interested in the “global climate” controversy way back in the eighties, when I read The Territorial Imperative by Robert Ardrey. Among other topics, the book contained a long discussion of how the Ice Age had affected human evolution, and the speculation that our current inter-glacial period could soon be coming to an end (i.e., in a new Ice Age). Since then, I’ve read quite a lot of other things about the whole topic, naturally.

    As the sirens blared, I was clinging, spread-eagled, to the top of my Dodge pickup in (what obviously would have been) a futile attempt to protect it from the baseball-sized hail that never came.

    Snow and thirty-two degrees with a twenty mph breeze at the sportsman’s club. Sent two magazines worth downrange, went to the clubhouse and sat around for fifteen minutes before deciding I had enough of Global Warming. At least I verified my bullpup’s ATN red-dot sight was waterproof as advertised.

Just think of all of the CO2 that won’t be exhaled into Albores green air!!!!

    “Manmade” Global Warming and second hand smoke

    “Smoking Kills”
    Later that evening, back on base, “squaddies” were outside the converted palace where we sleep, grabbing quick smokes. “Smoking kills” is the common joke. (British soldiers, like their American kin, are quick with dry combat humor.) But with all the IDF attacks, soldiers here truly are taking extreme risks to smoke outside. The palace had just been hit yesterday, and today more rain fell on its fractured façade. Sadr had just called for his militias to attack the Coalition, and “The Rifles” had just killed a couple dozen enemy fighters in JAM country, which was within easy rocket range of the base.

    Rifleman Lee Hulbert, wearing his helmet and body armor, was smoking with his friends when Murphy’s Law kicked in. There was no rocket attack, no lightning strike. About 15 meters (about 50 feet) above Lee’s head, three heavy pieces of marble, each weighing perhaps 10 kg (more than 20 lbs), dislodged from the palace, and hurtled toward Lee Hulbert. One piece struck the back of his helmet, crashed off his body armor, and he fell quiet to the ground. Hulbert had fought well throughout his tour in Iraq, only to be felled by a piece of marble. He’s been med-evac’d and is said to be in good condition.

    *****************************************************

    “Hulbert had fought well throughout his tour in Iraq, only to be felled by a piece of marble.”

    I must take issue with the comment “…..felled by a piece of marble.” Had he been inside, he would not have been injured. So it sounds like a typical liberal piece of dis-information. He was not felled by a piece of marble ! The fact is that he was merely another victim of the ever present “Cigarette Police”. These Nicotine-Nazis are ever present, stationed around the world (even in the combat areas of Iraq) in response to the fear-mongers use of highly suspect 2nd hand smoke fears, generated by a psuedo-science which has far less credibiity than the inane “proof” by Algore of his “manmade” global warming. The only thing manmade about “manmade global warming” is the fact that the concept itself is manmade.

    What has been proven is that heart and lung diseases are limited to those persons who are born with a genetic predisposition to these maladies, which can be aggravated by some cities smog, smoke inhaled by firefighters (who never used tobacco), direct inhaling of cigarette smoke, dust in a flour mill or coal mine, etc. (the number of coal miners who died of “black lung disease” has yet to be counted).

    “…….grabbing quick smokes. “Smoking kills” is the common joke….”. No, it’s the cigarette police - armed with phony scientific research. These Nicotine Nazis, filled with fear mongers lies, are much more dangerous than mere smoke.

    Rvee01 is on to something. If half of all Americans (preferably the “progressive” half) would quit bloviating so much hot air as well as quit exhaling (or inhaling for that matter), this world would be a better place … oh, and far less GLOBAL WARMING, too. And it would cut down on a lot of the hypocrisy. After all, it’s always America’s fault and certainly the “progressives” are a large part of that problem despite the fact they also incessantly whine about Global Warming Global Climate Change. Sorta like killing two birds with one stone … Yeeeeeeaaaaarrrggggghhhh! [(~:}œ

  • 42 Darthmeister // Apr 15, 2007 at 7:37 am

    Great link, Marge. For the moonbat we-didn’t-land-on-the-moon conspiracist, my favorite counter-argument has always been: Don’t you think the Russians had the technology (because we certainly did) to follow the Apollo 11 Command module all the way to the moon as well as follow the Eagle moonlander down to the surface? And wouldn’t the Russians cry foul if America had faked anything?

    You know what the response was? The Russians were in on it, too! Incredible! I think anarchists and left-wing moonbats are the kind of people who are so distrustful that they are totally incapable of seeing reality for what it really is and applying Occam’s Razor. I believe the History Channel had an excellent documentary which took each one of the claims about photographs with shadows running the “wrong” way, the waving flag, no stars, you shouldn’t be able to see details on the shadow side of the astronauts, blah, blah, blah, fairly presented the moonbats’ “evidence” and then totally smashed it with expert argument. Since I was/am a somewhat expert photographer and videographer myself, I particular enjoyed destroying some of the photographic myths being floated by these reality-denying morons - you know, issues concerning f/stops, depth of field, focal plane shutters versus iris shutters, reflected light, contrast range of film, speed of film, film artifacts, film solarization, etc.

    And the 9/11 conspiracy hoaxsters are even worse.

    James, great link. I loved the ballet mangling: Pas de Duh ~ that’s great.

    Marge: I liked yours too. I will have to say that I read a book once, called Man on the Sixth Floor, about a man right in my former home town of Tishomingo and a story that he carried to his grave about the Kennedy assassination. A friend of mine owned the funeral home that buried him and the family was talking about the issue in the hearse on the way to the funeral. Makes for fascinating reading and is not so much conspiracist as additional possibilities. I just thought that it gave some pause for consideration. It does not paint Oswald as a patsy, but shows some pretty shady dudes. And after the issues about Monroe came out lately, it seemed more plausible. But the fact is, a president was assassinated, something that defined this country in more ways then one.

    Oh, did I share with y’all that I have come up with the perfect politically astute solution to Iraq? Personally, I think that I am a genius, but I’m really not one to blow my own horn.. :-)

    Here it is: The liberals want us out of Iraq. The conservatives want us to finish the job, which is to make the country a self-governing bastion of democracy. I say, immediately redeploy the troops to, say, Kuwait and Israel and Afghanistan so that the liberals can have what they want, and just sit and wait. If the Al Quaeda Islamofascists then move in and take over the country, killing the leaders and putting everyone under tyrannical rule tied to Iran, give them time to settle into their new digs (oh, about a week) and send planes over to introduce the entire country (and Iran) to climate change man-made global warming. (sorry Darthmeister) I realize that the left will argue that a lot of innocent citizens will be killed, but these are the same citizens that the left says don’t want us there, and if they are too spineless to run the bad guys out of Dodge, I guess they will just have to try to dodge. With one fell swoop, we will have all the Al Quaeda leaders (including Bin Laden I am sure) AND after a year or two, a whole new country to which the Liberals can move to practice their brand of democratic rule called Socialism. The troops would be out of Iraq and we would have success at developing a self-governing bastion of Democracy where Nancy Pelosi could wear all of the headscarves she wants. I think that it is a win-win situation and I would expect the Nobel peace prize.

    c-a-t #56: A brilliant proposal, c-a-t! Glowing, even!

    I would suggest a few tiny improvements, if I may:

    first, Queen Nancy & her minions should submit the plan, and vote it into law, so they can receive proper credit;

    second, there is really no point in delaying the commencement of bombing, since, as we’ve heard repeatedly, the war is irretrievably lost - so as soon as the troops have redeployed, we should begin bombing immediately and not stop until the entire region is a molten lake of glass;

    and finally, since the success of a new product often depends on how it’s sold, we should present it in a positive light. In honor of the person who has relentlessly pushed this kind of approach, and to suggest a certain continuity with past U.S. foreign policy, I propose that we call it the BoberinMarshall Plan!
