Here in Atlanta Georgia I see people who are so grossly over weight they are no longer able to walk, children who are so fat they cannot walk three blocks to school.

This is blimp and whale territory.

Why waste it- render the oil.

Oil for the nation- render the land whales. It is patriotic, energy efficient, and profitable.

At least in N. America most dead folks are put into metal or wooden boxes and then under a concrete cap device (by law, to prevent subsidence). The bodies are embalmed so that they don’t decay for a very long time (centuries?) and are expected to stay recognizable as bodies for a very long time … soo…..

Where do I apply for my AGW Carbon Offset payment? Or does the funeral parlor get it for burying all those tons of carbon every year? Can I get more if I promise to gain at least a pound a year until my demise and sign a contract to be planted in a hermetically sealed metal coffin rather than cremated? Clearly I’m a carbon sequestration project in the making :-)

LOL

Excellent joke!

Don’t misread what I wrote. Algore is the one who thinks cigarette smoking causes global warming. That’s a ludicrous statement on several levels, proving that Al is a buffoon. For example: where does the carbon in cigarette smoke come from? Perhaps from it is extracted from the air by tobacco plants, thus resulting in no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide when the cigarette is burned? Duh.

The same might be said of animal flatulence. Alfalfa plant takes carbon out of air. Cow eats alfalfa plant. Cow creates methane using carbon from alfalfa plant. Cow releases methane into the atmosphere. The net increase in atmospheric carbon is zero, although CH4 may be a little better at IR absorption than CO2.

Have you seen those pictures of him lately. He’s kind of packing on the pounds .. he’s got to be at least 17 stone.

Maybe .. just maybe .. Al Gore is pregnant. Perhaps inpregnated by “Bear-Man-Pig.”

I have no proof. But since when has that mattered to any political pregnancy discussion.

While it correlates with being able to do certain kinds of tricks well (puzzles, word games) it does not correlate well with happiness and does not assure success. (I can say this because I’m one of those folks who meets Mensa acceptance requirements). I’ve also noticed that it seems to me to correlate with an increased ability for self deception and gullibility in many. In the tech field this is often called “believing your own bull” or “sucking your own exhaust”.

So please, trust your instincts and your grounding in common sense. Trust your own ability to see things through to an acceptable end. And trust your ability to say “The emperor seems a bit light on cloths today”. We need people like you.

Per the BMI et.al. It is very broken. In particular, it is racist. North Europeans have several cold adapted traits. Compared to Africans, the N.E. type have shorter legs (I’m one of them) and longer bodies. Mass vs Height is a bogus ratio when one race has legs for 2/3 of their body and the other for 1/3 !!

There are other problems with it as well. If you are not in a dunk tank measuring fat directly, you have little clue.

Per the heavy yearning to be lighter: I suspect (though have no proof) that trans fat in the diet gums up the fat metabolism leading to fat gain. Since I’ve gone to a strict no-trans fat diet, I’m loosing body fat. Before that I had trouble. Now it’s just going away (slowly) without effort. We’ll see where the society at large ends up as transfat is removed.

There are so many ways a person can end up heavy that have nothing to do with willpower or with self control that any attempt to mandate a specific body form ought to be met with immediate lawsuits. Older people are heavier than younger (age discrimination), some racial groups are heavier than others (compare a Samoan with a Japanese) so it’s racist, some folks have medical issues (low thyroxin) medical / handicapped discrimination. etc.

We will not explore all the crap stuck in our food supply that might be causing weight gain (other than to mention that fructose is directly metabolized in the liver to fat… so guess where all that high fructose corn syrup in darned near everything goes? Any wonder U.S. food eaters are fatter than those in other countries without a corn fetish?)

This AGW causes everything mantra will die soon. The All Gore Cold Period is coming and that will eventually be the end of it.

If a digital photo camera had been used, the distortion would not be present. but 720×480 is one of those magic numbers for TV that has to do with the 3.579545 mHz color subcarrier frequency in NTSC color televison.

If he had been recorded in Europe, he would have been at 720×576 for PAL, and would not have looked so “wide”.

As for where did I get the image, just enter “fat al gore” into Google image search and see what pops up. That is how I found it.

Hold on.

If the political correctness puts cigarette smokers in camps,
war starts.

Step on another man’s vice, you get a lecture.
Step on my vice, you get a fight.

(BTW, it was reported some time ago that in an address before the UN AlGore stated that cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of global warming)

Politically correct is certainly reason enough to put categories in concentration camps.

Fat people, ugly people, short people, beef eaters, honey lovers, you name it.

Show me a pot belly mud flipper minnow cave fish disappearing,
and we can name you the “guilty” right quick.

Crank up those camps, fire up the ovens- the psychos have grabbed the reins.
