“Secondly, back to this phrase ‘win the conversation,’” he continued. “There came a time when friends or people you work with or people you were in clubs with — you’re much younger than me so you didn’t have to go through this personally — but there came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, ‘Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don’t go for that so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’ That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won.”

So if you aren’t a warmer you are now officially a racist! Even if you swoon at the sight of Obama, you are still a racist. Thanks for clearing that up Tipper, err. Al Gore.

“A preemptive strike would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilisation may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand. Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilisational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions,” the report states.

Sigh. It’s really sad and very irritating to see what NASA has become thanks to the Marxist Obama.

“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women,” Gore said. “You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.

“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”

Of course Gore moron himself has four children. But he has more private limousines and jets which used the be the “reason” for global warming.

“And you know look – yesterday, or the day before yesterday, we had the tornado in Minneapolis,” Roker said. “We have had these tornadoes and earlier this week we had a tornado in Philadelphia. And so, you know our weather, or climate change is such now that we are seeing this kind of weather not just in rural parts of our country, but in urban centers as well.”

BTW. It’s been a cooler than normal spring here in California. Can i chalk that up to global warming too?

“My hope is that from this success in the foreign policy arena two days ago, that he will be emboldened to take once again to the Congress legislation — not just to increase a renewable energy standard — but climate change legislation that this country and the world need,” Richardson said Tuesday at a Climate Leadership Gala hosted by the Earth Day Network in Washington.

Let’s be candid here. When you and I go home, you see friends and family, you get e-mail from people you know. People ask the same question: What’s going on here? Is this something we have done? What has happened to the climate because it seems so much of what we cover is relentless weather-related tragedy?

Even ABC was forced to admit that there is no substantiation to the speculation that these tornadoes are caused by global warming:

You know, all winter long, Diane, we’ve been talking about the fact that the leaky Arctic fence, that unusual cold polar air, the melting sea ice, the thing is, there’s no coordinated effort to study what that looks like on climate change compared to severe weather, so we don’t know the answer to that.

Capps pointed to a 2009 article in The Lancet, a medical journal, that said climate change could be the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century.”
“That makes climate change a bigger public health problem than AIDS, than malaria, than pandemic flu,”

So i guess all the earthquakes in the history of the world are from global warming now too. The big San Francisco earthquake in the 1800s and 1989. The big quakes in L.A. in 1971, 1987, and 1994 all global warming. The destructive earthquake in Haiti last year, and the 8.5 quake in Chile last year? Global Warming too!

“How will FEMA work with state and local partners to plan for increased flooding or wildfire or hurricane activity that is more serious than we’ve seen before? What assistance can the Coast Guard bring to bear to assist remote villages in, for example, Alaska which already have been negatively affected by changes up in the Arctic?”

“We’ve always believed it’s a mobile and nimble operation,” said Sean Sarah, the non-profit group’s spokesman. “We move to areas where it’s most effective. Of course the situation in Congress has changed. So our strategies and tactics have changed along with it.”

“We have pledged to save taxpayers’ money by reducing waste and duplication in Congress,” said Michael Steel, spokesman for incoming Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). “The Select Committee on Global Warming – which was created to provide a political forum to promote Washington Democrats’ job-killing national energy tax – was a clear example, and it will not continue in the 112th Congress.”

With the end in sight, Committee Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.) organized what was billed as an “all-star” cast of witnesses to testify Wednesday on the dangers posed by climate change. And like the Democrats’ hopes for a bill limiting carbon dioxide emissions, things didn’t turn out exactly as planned.

“Some people in these difficult times would say, ‘How can you take on these bold new initiatives and stay focused? How can you deal with the fact that there are two wars that we as the United States of America are still involved in? And how can we deal with the very difficult economic time that we are working so hard to work through? How is it that you can do all that, yet continue to move forward with this clean energy program for the future of America?’” Salazar told the American Wind Energy Association in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Wednesday at their North American Offshore Wind Conference.
“And some people might say, when you look at the gridlock of Congress and the passing of energy legislation, ‘How is it that you can continue to move forward?,’” he said.
“Well, my answer to all of them is a simple answer, and that is, we do not have a choice,” said Salazar.

“The number of victims caused by climate change is very big… bigger than the victims of wars,” said the voice, whose authenticity could not be immediately verified and was made available by SITE Intelligence Group.

The tape would be the first time Bin Laden has spoken publicly since March 25.

“You can’t point to any particular disaster and say, ‘it was caused by,’ but we are changing the climate of the world,” she said.

Clinton said that on top of the Pakistan floods, which have forced millions out of their homes, the forest fires in Russia stand as another example. She said there’s no “direct link” between the disasters in Pakistan and Russia but that “when you have the changes in climate that affect weather that we’re now seeing, I think the predictions of more natural disasters are unfortunately being played out.”

Update: I called it earlier! Someone would blame Bush, and sure enough they have. Yes, George W. Bush is the reason why Al Gore and Tipper Gore have separated. Sally Quinn, the arrogant, elitist, left wing snob who appears occasionally on the O’Reilly Factor blames Bush and the 2000 election for the separation.

Family friend Sally Quinn told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson that Gore winning the popular vote for president but losing the electoral vote may have done the marriage irreparable harm.

“He’s obviously suffered a lot,” Quinn said. “He’ll never get over that and neither will she.”

Here are more effects of global warming I guess. Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday. According to Politico, in an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

Maybe they add blame Bush too in addition to global warming. Isn’t it a bit ironic though? Al Gore’s global warming crusade succeeded only in cooling his marriage.

Tipper Gore is a professional photographer who in 1996 published “Picture This: A Visual Diary,” which she called “a personal photographic representation of life as wife of the vice president.”

She often took pictures at campaign events and behind the scenes when her husband ran for president in 2000. In recent years, she often accompanied him on speaking and book-signing engagements as he continued his quest for action on “the climate crisis.”

During Bill Clinton’s presidency, the then-vice president and his wife donned costumes for an annual Halloween party that became a Washington tradition.

The Gores, who have four children and live in Tennessee, marked their 40th wedding anniversary two weeks ago.

The Gores both grew up in the Washington area. They met at a high school graduation dance and were married at the National Cathedral on May 19, 1970, according to Tipper Gore’s White House biography.

The measure also would allow states directly affected to veto drilling plans of nearby states if they could show that significant negative effects would result from an accident.

The legislation aims to cut by 2020 carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 17 percent below 2005 levels and more than 80 percent by 2050. It also would set a price on carbon emissions for large polluters such as coal-fired power plants.

“We can finally tell the world that America is ready to take back our role as the world’s clean energy leader,” Kerry said at a news conference, surrounded by environmentalists and leaders from an array of energy companies.

“This is a bill for energy independence after a devastating oil spill, a bill to hold polluters accountable, a bill for billions of dollars to create the next generation of jobs and a bill to end America’s addiction to foreign oil,” Kerry said, calling stakes for the bill “sky high.”

President Barack Obama hailed the measure, which has been in the works for months.

“The challenges we face — underscored by the immense tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico — are reason to redouble our efforts to reform our nation’s energy policies,” Obama said in a statement. “For too long, Washington has kicked this challenge to the next generation.”

Despite the lofty rhetoric, the measure faces bleak prospects in the Senate amid partisan disputes over the drilling provision and other issues, including immigration reform.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had been the bill’s only Republican backer, withdrew his support last week, saying it is impossible to pass the legislation in the current political climate.

Graham issued a statement Wednesday offering tepid encouragement.

“I believe the broad concepts we came up with before (Graham withdrew) are transformational and are the most consumer- and business-friendly effort to date in dealing with carbon pollution” Graham said.

Most importantly, he added, the bill “can serve as a framework in allowing America to lead in the creation of alternative energy jobs and significantly reducing our dependency on foreign oil. With these goals in mind, I am interested in carefully reviewing the details of the new proposal.”

The 1,000-page bill, tweaked in recent days in response to the Gulf spill, requires an Interior Department study to determine whether states could be economically and environmentally affected by a leak from an offshore drilling rig.

States that can demonstrate significant negative effects could pass a law opposing a specific project.

States that go ahead with offshore drilling would retain 37.5 percent of the federal revenue generated — a shift from current policy. Now royalty revenue goes to the Treasury; states collect no royalties.

“It reminds me in some ways of the debate taking place in this country and around the world in the late 1930s,” said Sanders, perhaps the most liberal member of the Senate, during a Senate hearing Tuesday. “During that period of Nazism and fascism’s growth-a real danger to the United States and democratic countries around the world- there were people in this country and in the British parliament who said ‘don’t worry! Hitler’s not real! It’ll disappear!”

Sanders’ reference to the Nazi threat is sure to enrage Republicans who are already skeptical of the science behind climate change. But Sanders wasn’t the only one throwing bombs at a hearing that was ostensibly about the EPA’s fiscal 2011 budget. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who has called global warming a “hoax,” is asking for an investigation into the science used in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the governing body on climate science.

Earlier in the hearing, Inhofe had chided Sanders: “I know the senator from Vermont wants so badly to believe that the science on climate change is settled but it’s not.”

The heated exchanges came as EPA administrator Lisa Jackson sparred with lawmakers over her agency’s decision to regulate greenhouse gases, something that Senate Republicans — and some Democrats — have opposed.

“How can you justify doing something administratively that was overwhelmingly rejected by the United States Senate and say defiantly ‘we don’t care what you say, Congress, we’re going to go ahead and do it under the clean air act,” Inhofe asked.

Jackson said her agency was in its right to regulate carbon.

“The supreme court said the EPA must make the determination whether or not greenhouse gases are harmful to the public welfare. Rather than ignore that obligation I chose as a public administrator to make the order,” Jackson replied.

Then there was another MSNBC warmer Dylan Ratigan saying:

“Here’s the problem – these ‘snowpocalypses’ that have been going through DC and other extreme weather events are precisely what climate scientists have been predicting, fearing and anticipating because of global warming,”

Yet here is a video of Democrat former KKK member Robert Byrd whining about how the lack of snow in 2002 is proof of global warming. Diane Feinstein in 2005 and Barbara Boxer in 2007 and 2009 whining about lack of snow fall and other liberals crying the blues about the same issue. So which one is it you progressive/liberal warmers?
