Must be a slow day for Al and his carbon credits racket. Time to beat the global warming drums again.
I love how people think we *can* deal with "climate change".
As though we're going to ask the planet nicely to have predictable weather patterns so we can alter our behaviors with predictable results.
Any change we make will have effects just as "profound" (or lack thereof) as the current "climate change" supposedly due to our use of fossil fuels.
Makes much more sense to keep on keepin' on rather than uproot pretty much every economy on the planet by forcing everything on to alternative energy in the next few decades.
Global Warming/Climate Change alarmists = shortsighted + illogical.

well michael chricton is right about one thing. hysterical blindness.
"MICHAEL CRICHTON (closing statement)
There was a time when I worked in a clinic and, uh, one day a young woman came in, she was in her early twenties for a routine checkup and, I said what?s going on with you and she said I?ve just become blind.
And, I said, oh my gosh, really, when did it happen, she said, well just, uh, coming into the clinic, walking up the steps of the clinic I became blind.
And I said, oh, and I?m ? by now I?m looking through the chart and I said, well, has this happened before, she said yes, it?s happened before. I?ve become blind in the past, and, what she had of course was hysterical blindness.
And the characteristic of that, is that, the severity of the symptom is not matched by the emotional response that?s, that?s being presented. Most people would be screaming about that but she was very calm, oh yes, I?m blind again.
And I?m reminded of that whenever I hear, that we?re facing, whether we wanna call it a crisis or not, a significant global event, of, of, of importance where we?re gonna have species lost and so on and so forth, that we can really address this by changing our light bulbs.
Or that we can really make an impact by unplugging our appliances when we?re not using them. It?s very much out of whack. And so if? if it were only gonna do symbolic actions, I would like to suggest a few symbolic actions that right ? might really mean something.
One of them, which is very simple, 99% of the American population doesn?t care, is ban private jets. Nobody needs to fly in them, ban them now. And, and in addition?[APPLAUSE]
?let?s have the NRDC, the, the Sierra Club and Greenpeace make it a rule that all of their, all of their members, cannot fly on private jets, they must get their houses off the grid, they must live in the way that they?re telling everyone else to live.
And if they won?t do that, why should we. And why should we take them seriously. [APPLAUSE]"
