Al Gore Has a Plan to Save the World and it Only Costs 90 Trillion Dollars



Al Gore is back in the news. He has teamed up with former president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, to promote a plan to remove cars from every major city on the planet. You will only be able to move with mass transit. Can anyone honestly see Gore getting off his private jet and hopping a bus into town? Chances are he would have to transfer at least once. Gore and Calderon think the total cost would be in the neighborhood of 90 trillion dollars.

Have any of you ever taken a bus? Even when there is no traffic it can take forever with all the stops to pick up and drop off passengers. It can eat up large chunks of your time. I used to take the bus and it not only took me an extra hour and a half but it also limited where I could look for work. I finally bought a bicycle and cut my commuting time by 2/3. Plus, I didn’t have to deal with the Tourette Girl anymore. She would go into one of her rants and I kept a close eye on her in case she was armed. I never said a word to her ever.

It would also limit those day trips we take routinely on weekends in the summer and fall. Think about the driving you do and then try to imagine doing it all on subways, trains and buses. Want to see Grandma three towns over? Better plan a weekend around it. And the cost will probably be prohibitive.

Gore and Calderon claim that the world would spend 90 trillion on their cities over the next couple of decades anyway. And it will save the world.

The ironic thing is that Gore and Calderon presented their plan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where there were 1,700 private jets…..Including Gore’s.

MIT Meteorologist Richard Lindzen Calls Global Warming a Cult


Not all scientists have sold their integrity for government grants. On Howie Carr’s radio show on Monday, MIT meteorology professor emeritus Richard Lindzen let loose on the central tenet of government science by characterizing the global warming movement as a cult:


“As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here. Think about it,” he said. “You’ve led an unpleasant life, you haven’t led a very virtuous life, but now you’re told, you get absolution if you watch your carbon footprint. It’s salvation!”

The cult scored a big win by discovering that 2014 was the hottest year on record. However, they are already walking that back:


Last week, government agencies including NASA announced that 2014 was the “hottest year” in “recorded history,” as The New York Times put it in an early edition. Last year has since been demoted by the Times to the hottest “since record-keeping began in 1880.”

But that may not be true. Now the same agencies have acknowledged that there’s only a 38 percent chance that 2014 was the hottest year on record. And even if it was, it was only by two-100ths of a degree.

That is, even the government that is relying on global warming to drive its expansionist agenda admits that there is a 62% chance that 2014 was not the warmest year since 1880 even by an insignificant 0.02° margin. According to the disproven theory that human carbon emissions are dictating the climate, temperatures ought to be in the stratosphere by now, as CO2 emissions continue to rise.


Lindzen scoffs at the public-sector-generated hysteria, which included one warmist blogger breathlessly writing that the heat record had been “shattered.”

He has been around long enough to remember when the same sort of people were shouting lies about global cooling — which would be far more problematic.


Lindzen said that until recently, periods of greater warmth were referred to as “climate optimum.” Optimum is derived from a Latin word meaning “best.”

“Nobody ever questioned that those were the good periods. All of a sudden you were able to inculcate people with the notion that you have to be afraid of warmth.”

The warmists’ ultimate solution is to reduce the standard of living for most of mankind. That proposition is being resisted most vigorously by nations with developing economies such as China and India, both of which have refused to sign on to any restrictive, Obama-backed climate treaties. Lindzen understands their reluctance.

“Anything you do to impoverish people, and certainly all the planned policies will impoverish people, is actually costing lives. But the environmental movement has never cared about that.”

Our current government doesn’t care about it either. Or rather, our rulers are aware that impoverished people are easier to control.

Al Gore should take all of his money he made selling his network to terrorist apologists and invest it in this great idea: build a monorail in Mexico City, one of the most polluted cities on the planet.

You're wound a bit tight. I just prefer to read the news from the source, not secondhand.
