| Al Gore to Expose Bush on Global-Warming |
| 2004-01-15 |
| New York Speech Sponsored by MoveOn.org & Environment2004 Former Vice President Al Gore will deliver a major address attacking the Bush Administration’s policies on global warming and the environment at the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City on Thursday, January 15. Severe Weather Alert from the National Weather Service ...BRONX NY-KINGS (BROOKLYN) NY-NEW YORK (MANHATTAN) NY-QUEENS NY- RICHMOND (STATEN IS.) NY- 659 AM EST THU JAN 15 2004 TEMPERATURES AROUND 10 DEGREES EARLY THIS MORNING COMBINED WITH WINDS ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WERE PRODUCING WIND CHILL VALUES FROM NEAR ZERO TO 10 BELOW. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEARLY STEADY... HOWEVER WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NORTH... LOWERING WIND CHILL VALUES TO AROUND 15 BELOW BY EARLY THIS EVENING. A WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT... WHEN CHILL VALUES WILL APPROACH AS MUCH AS 30 BELOW. Mr. Gore will issue an indictment of the Bush administration’s inaction on global warming, linking the issue to U.S. national security. He will show that global warming is happening right now, and yet the President is choosing to help his coal- and oil-company supporters rather than advance modern technologies that can affordably solve this critical problem. Yeah, like that windfarm off Cape Cod Bush squashed. Oh, wait, that was Ted Kennedy and the other libs who didn’t want their views of the ocean spoiled. The speech will also explore the administration’s deliberate attempts to mislead the public as it attacks basic environmental laws and protection. This is a free event, but attendance is open only to members of MoveOn.org and Environment2004 who have RSVP’d, and to credentialed journalists. Guess it all depends on your definition of "open". It’s another AlGore moment. |

| #68 Timing is everything, Al. Yours sucks as usual. When it's freezer burn cold, it's not the time we little people want to hear the Whiny Global Warming Chorus. I don't get driven in a limo to work, Al, like some people. I freeze my ass off waiting for the train. You're supposed to be a smart guy Al. You ought to know that Al. Maybe you aren't as smart as you think, huh, Al? But maybe I'm just a septic. |

| #67 Well sad to say, Me and my bud Luke didn't have much luck, 2 quail, and 1 rabbit. The rabbit took a rather deep interest in Luke's leg, kinda freaked the old boy right out. Then on the way back to the house Luke tripped over the methane exhaust, got a bad ankle there, but I expect he'll be ok once we pry Fatwa the crazed kitten off his foot. See ya later Luke, remember you're taxi's safe with me and TMH takes cash. |

| #65 BTW, for those of you who may not be up on the Australian vernacular, "septic" and "seppo" are the standard epithets for Americans. What would you expect from a country that still has "Nigger Mountain" on the map? |

| #64 Luke, why would we want a mob of backward-ass Drunkistan bigots to like us? I hate to blaspheme the one true god of the Drunkistan Left, but Michael Moore is not a typical American and he is not infallible. I suggest you quit kissing his fat arse and sucking up to Hollywood and return to your traditional national pursuits of drinking, gambling and beating each other senseless. |

| #63 luke - do we have a european murat - how long are the eurotrash going to keep whinning! since they cant't beat us at anything (except of of couse the award for lapdog's of the year) they whine about everything american. but at the end of the day their societies could not function in the modern world without direct american intervention. hell they can't even build a plane without american technology (roughly 35-40 percent of every airtrash is american through sub-contracting). |

| #60 Luke said, "...produce most of the waste weigh the most cos they are all fat..." I just saw Al Gore on TV. He has packed on the pounds since 2000. He looked like he ate Kyoto (not the treaty, the whole city). |

| #55 Luke, the US also creates the majority of the worlds stuff. If the world stopped buying it the problem of US overconsumption would solve itself. Gore can make his claims and Bush can counter with his new space plan. Helium 3 from the moon promises clean FUSION energy. Solar power on the moon could mean clean power as well. Potentially Bush is doing far more towards solving global warming if we really exploit the moon than Gore ever dreamed of. Perhaps Gore's comments can be used to up the NASA funding for the moon base. |

| #54 sad septics who produce the majority of greenhouse gasses use most of the worlds resources produce most of the waste weigh the most cos they are all fat bastards sign the kyoto agreement Think why does most of the world intensly dislike or actively hate the septics with their greed and corruption be nice and we may start liking you Sounds suspiciously like a really bad case of jealousy. |

| #53 Hi Luke! Gonna hit the fields this afternoon right before dusk.... comeon on by I have an extra shotgun and my goldies don't mind hunting with half-wits, BTW folks Mr. Faisal was a little to loud in the field but he had a nice taxi. |

| #52 Kyotos dead thankfully! Australia finally pulled out a couple of days ago and Russia is not going to ratify. OPs right! It was a Tranzi scam pure and simple! Bad science and even worse economics. |

| #50 Normally, I'd be all in favor of exposed bush, but in this instance, Gore's got very little credibility. His "Earth in the Balance" was a lot of junk science (like much of the global warming rhetoric) -- especially the new agish Gaia Hypothesis. He should stick to things he knows, like the Internet. |

| #49 be nice and we may start liking you You seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares WHAT you think. or feel. Or do - so long as it doesn't impose on my life or my freedoms. If it does, I'll change that fact and then move on. |

| #48 The entire house of cards known as "Global Warming" has been exposed to be a monster scam that attempted to totally criple the US economy, while giving the third world a "pass". According to TechCentralStation, even Europe has been unable (or unwilling) to meet the reductions in greenhouse gasses prescribed by Kyoto. Every day, additional scientific research shows just how totally out of whack the computer model used to "predict" global warming is when measured against actual hard data. The evidence is mounting that the total current amount of actual warming can be accounted for by the increase in solar output over the past 20 years. There's corroberating evidence of "global warming" on Mars and Pluto. I have my doubts that Mr. Bush or anyone else is operating coal-fired generating plants on either of these planetary bodies. The entire "global warming" tirade is a farce, not scientifically supported by hard evidence. It's time for "Gloomy Al One-Note" to shut his pie hole and fade off into the sunset. |
