Al Gore Throws Bogus Borrowed Blames

August 9, 2007

Mr. Gore visited Singapore lately and advertised a fake story.

Speaking on Tuesday in the island nation, Al Gore boldly repeated his point after stupid point of Senior Editor Sharon Begley’s The Truth about Denial; it appears that supporting credit upon neither the writer nor the publication.  Quite amazing, as the foundation of his intellectual petty-larceny was ripped directly from the article’s core debate that, in Gore’s words, there lurks an prearranged crusade,
  “[by] some of the largest carbon polluters, to create the impression that there is disagreement in the scientific community.”

“In actuality, there is very little disagreement. This is one of the strongest of scientific consensus views in the history of science.”

Evidently, regularly loud agreement at the top of his tone of voice makes the claim any less adverse to reality.  Any more than Begley’s hard work to deep-fry the characters of well-known contrarian scientists will verify any less transparent than have Gore’s.

But Gore buzzed on, “borrowing” again from the Newsweek piece of writing - this time an inspection by former senator Tim Wirth comparing funds spent by these wicked polluters to that once invested by tobacco companies:

“Some of the tobacco companies spent millions of dollars to create the appearance that there was disagreement on the science [of cigarette smoking’s harmful effects]. And some of the large coal and utility companies and the largest oil company, ExxonMobil, have been involved in doing that exact same thing for the last several years.”

“The deniers offered a bounty of $10,000 for each article disputing the [global warming is “very likely” man-made] consensus that people could crank out and get published somewhere.”
