Can;t sleep for laughing…no wonder Gore is avoiding questioning…he must know the game is up.
Let us hope the media soon cotton on.

“There is perhaps a special danger in democratic abuses of power, namely that being collective they are stimulated by mob hysteria. The man who has the art of arousing the witch-hunting instincts of the mob has a quite peculiar power for evil in a democracy where the habit of the exercise of power by the majority has produced that intoxication and impulse to tyranny which the exercise of authority almost invariably produces sooner or later.” (Freedom and the Colleges, 1940).

No. 5: I’d rather get fat, grow a beard, and try for the Nobel prize.

A fairly detailed report of 540 words describes the fact that Al Gore received the honorary doctorate during a “Day of Research” at ETH Lausanne (federal technical university in French part, affiliated with larger ETH Zuerich) in the presence of Swiss President Pascal Couchepin. It was emphasized that Gore did not collect his usual fee, but the exclusion of the press was noted in slightly sarcastic tones. Interestingly, it was confirmed that Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch & Cie, the Private Bank from Geneva that will support the new chair for sustainable development, works closely with Gore’s new “Generation Investment Management”.

Wow, so the lessons we learn here are:

1) With no technical or scientific training, you can become a Nobel Laureate
2) You can become a Doctor with only one day of research
3) You can win an oscar for a “documentary”
4) You can whine about losing the presidency
5) You can scare the pants off the world
6) You can live a life of luxury while insisting other people give up their luxuries.
7) Make millions from a phantom menace.

1. Maybe we should all agree with Al Gore: not have any press there ANYWHERE he speaks. Then he can include the professors and students in his “I’m not speaking to you” list.

2. “The average global temperature (land and ocean surface combined) for last month was the 2nd warmest on record for March, while the average temperature for the contiguous U.S. was near average (ranking the 63rd warmest).”

So the U.S., which has been ignored because it’s only “2%” of the earth’s surface, has a “normal” temp, yet the ROW was second warmest. They can’t blame the U.S. for this, can they?

So, a straight-forward business deal with tax advantages all around.

However, NZZ notes that the prospective holder of the chair will be independent – there is hope!

Look at the scientific centrepieces of AIT – hurricanes, the hockey stick, and the Ice Age “correlation” between CO2 and temperature. Does he still talk about them? If he doesn’t, what does he talk about?

If it’s about politics, I believe that’s far down on the scale.

It seems to me it’s more about money and power. The UN loves it because they might be able to fund themselves beyond their wildest dreams and gain worldwide power to boot; the EU loves it because it’s a source of income to pay for all the unfunded pension cost their member state have due NOW; the media loves it because they can sell their rags; the politicians love it because they can raise taxes which will help their cash flow from political contributions; the envirowhackos love it because they can reap tons of money for “research and mitigation (bush reportedly funded the greenies to the tune of $50 BILLION during his term in office); other parasites such as GE and ADM love it because the public is FORCED to buy their products; and the list goes on an on.

If there ever was a “Perfect Storm” of parasites, this is it!

REPLY: UHI “could” reach a limit, but remember, for every UHI saturated location (big city with flat or maxed growth) there’s dozens of little towns that are growing worldwide that have NOAA, BoM, etc thermometers in them.

If you were millions of dollars into a program that was eaning^Wcollecting millions more, and you were about to go into a meeting and say a lot of things that you knew to be nonsense and worse, and you had the wherewithal to exclude possibly hostile reporters, what you do?

Why do you think the Founding Fathers thought the freedoms of expression were so important?

How do you know when you are really on to something?
