Friday Funny: Al Gore's new science low – burning dolls

At least “Burning Man” has an art component to it, “burning dolls”, not so much.

This is so stupid, so inane, so grade B movie “Plan 9 from Outer Space” level that all you can do is laugh at it. It is the latest effort from Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Project”. I suppose after this exercise in child brainwashing, anything goes. Watch:

From the YouTube Description:

The science girl takes a comedic look at the differences of climate vs weather. Created for the live broadcast of 24 Hours of Reality: The Dirty Weather Report.

Even more bizarre are the comments from the faithful on YouTube.

Especially hilarious is her use of a hydrocarbon based fire device to ignite the set.

Wow…if this was the Onion, it would make me laugh. As it is, it’s scary how we abandon reality to pursue propaganda.

Is she willing to freeze in the dark to get what she wants?

This is bizarro even for Weird Al Gore.
In 2065 this clip will be played alongside “Reefer Madness” for campy laughs at the expense of the old folks – “boy, they were gullible back then weren’t they?”

Unfortunately, environmental advocacy has been inserted into our children’s science education for a couple of decades. When my daughter (now 21) was in fifth grade I went to her school for a parents day, in her science class the teacher had put up a display (from the curriculum) from the “ocean module” they were currently studying. 5 out of 9 subjects of study that were pinned up were environmental concerns. Pollution, over fishing, marine mammal conservation etc. Science has been politicized into environmentalism, and it’s roots are in the text books, classrooms, and science fairs. The video is laugh out loud silly but the underlying politics is sad.

Just thing about all the petrochemicals that were used for the plastic dolls, the paint, the sealant for the the aquarium tank, the energy used to process the silica and make the glass for it… for her glasses… which are probably actually polycarbonate. The industry that produced her clothings, the plastic in the Fresnel lens…
Yeah, preach on you little brat.

Al Gore is running his own little cult and his pseudo-religion is junk climate science masquerading as sound science.. Just as Jim Jones and David Koresh indoctrinated their flock by taking advantage of their naivety and gullibility, Gore has brainwashed and indoctrinated his faithful flock by taking advantage of their scientific illiteracy. As disgusting as it is seeing adults drinking his Kool-Aid without question, seeing children doing the same is far worse.
During his interview with PBS, I believe I remember Anthony bringing up concept of noble cause corruption. No doubt Gore thinks he has a license to engage in his campaign of fraudulence because he believes his ends justify his means. The problem with that thinking IMHO is that there is nothing wrong with sound science being the basis for government’s climate policymaking, if any. This makes his noble cause corruption of climate science just as unethical and immoral as the corruption of police science. If sound science isn’t good enough for him, that is his problem, not ours.
At the end of the video, the young lady mentioned clean energy. Whether Gore and the environmental movement likes it or not, the only nonpolluting energy source that is capable of completely displacing coal and natural gas for electricity generation is nuclear. As a supporter of more nuclear in this country, I would like to tell Gore and the Greenies to get used to hearing that because their beloved solar panels and bird chopping wind turbines won’t get the job done. Science tells us that. And when I say science, I again mean sound science, not Al-Gore-ian junk science.
The day that Gore gets exposed to the whole world as the fraud that he is will be the day that I sing and dance in the streets in celebration. My neighbors will probably think I’m losing it when they see me doing that, but what the heck.

I gotta disagree. I think it’s pernicious and probably somewhat effective. Whether we like it or not, people listen to this.

Perhaps this ridiculous video would have more impact if it had been made and powered by “clean” energy, but of course, it never would have been made at all since no energy source is truly clean once manufacturing and environmental concerns are factored in. Reliability is another issue as well. It’s too bad her topic wasn’t on the laws of thermodynamics; she might have learned about entropy then.

Burning plastic in a closed room – I wonder what could go wrong there?

I’d like to see her in 10 years preaching global cooling-’cause that is exactly wha tis happening..

I hate it when they use kids to push propaganda.

All Gore has some nerve allowing that video out for children to see. Unreal and I hope it doesn’t get into class rooms one day. Children will be wanting to play with fire and burn down their home they live in.

Is there an adult in the room ?

Hey! You can’t start a fire in the school gymnasium.
This is sending a bad message to children.

November 22, 2012 10:49 pm

That was great!
It is really rare to see a cleverly produced video with essentially no actual content and burning dolls.
If this video convinces anyone, well, 50% of the population are below average and, three or four standard deviations out astrology, magic thinking and this excellent video all have an impact.
Can you imagine how embarrassing it was to make this thing?

Liberalism HAS become a cult. They will push propaganda on the most susceptible members of society, kids included.. Anyone who protests will be branded a denier or a racist or some other buzzword title, and usually sane and intelligent people will tremble in fear lest they be branded.
Society conditions people to crave acceptance from early on, just call them a name and hint that they may not be invited to the next party and they’ll jump right in line.

I am so glad that at the time this was showing I was watching something with real science and interest, some of the comments on you tube are about how far from the truth it is and how it seems more like child abuse.
This one for example.
You’ve got to be kidding!
I thought only Palestinians abused their children by indoctrination with twisted fantasies.
Gore has no shame.
