It’s the same old tired stuff, Koch, anti-science, big fundraisers while claiming skeptics are well funded, etc., but at least there’s a new humorous label from Gore.
=========================
Former Vice President Al Gore made an appearance at a Democratic fundraising dinner Wednesday night at the home of Tom Steyer and referred to the California billionaire as:
“Mr. Tipping Point” in the fight against climate change, according to a source who attended.
Gore “discussed the need to not just win — but to win quickly enough to make a difference,” according to the source.
The roughly 70 guests who attended the two-hour dinner at Steyer’s abode in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood ate grass-fed beef from Steyer’s ranch, as well as salmon, while a large California flag hung on the wall. The event raised $400,000 for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of six Senate Democrats to attend, “focused on the importance of creating an offset” to billionaire fossil-fuel backers Charles and David Koch, the source said.
Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) “focused on how exposed the Republicans are for adopting and promoting a basic anti-science position,” the source said.
To view online:
https://www.politicopro.com/go/?id=30999
It’s ludicrous. San Francisco’s sea cliff neighborhood is the land of 20 million $ homes. It’s where Senator Diane Feinstein lives, poor thing.
So Gore is there complaining about the skeptic money machine, while dining on lobster with his his well-heeled progressive buddies in a 20 million dollar mansion with a to-die-for view in the ritziest neighborhood of one of the most expensive cities in the world.
It would be ironic if it weren’t insane.
“Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) “focused on how exposed the Republicans are for adopting and promoting a basic anti-science position,” the source said.”
Many people on the alarmist side of the CAGW debate routinely get the relationship between climate change and weather bass ackwards when they blame weather events on climate change.
Aren’t changes in the average weather or weather patterns over time supposed to be the basis for
a presumed change in climate? If the skeptics make any attempt to correct them on mistakes like this, they are branded as “anti-science”.
Skepticism, as I understand it, is supposed to be the basis for discourse in science whenever an scientific issue or theory is discussed and debated, is it not? So how can skeptics be “anti-science”?
Very strange if you ask me.
‘The event raised $400,000 for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.’
So less than St Gore charges for 3 public speaking events , reminds me again just who is making themselves rich out of this ?
In June 2010, the Gores announced their marital separation, “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration”.

Yeah right.
algore must have reached the tipper point.
I bet she has some stories to tell. Wish she would write a tell-all!
Gore “discussed the need to not just win — but to win quickly enough to make a difference,” according to the source.
==============================
More like, “before the sheeple catch on that they have been shorn.”
http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Tom-Steyer-Speaks-at-the-DNC-on-the-State-of-Renewable-Energy-
Renewable energy is so much fun for the connected oligarchs. You hire who we want. You pay what we want. You locate where we say. Public money to finance, private gain, public underwriting of losses. It’s called Cronyism and it adores access to political power.
Actually I think that Senator (?) John Kerry provided the quote of the week when, in Indonesia to lecture Australia on something or other, he said “If sea level rises one metre, Chicago will be under water.” I heard him say this – picked up by Sky news and broadcast on “Paul Murray Live”. Strangely enough none of the participants on the show realised the discrepancy.
Text of a letter I sent to The Australian – not printed –
“Paul Murray Live” has just broadcast a clip of John Kerry telling Indonesia that “if sea level rises one metre, Chicago will be under water”. According to Wikipaedia, Chicago is on the shores of Lake Michigan which is at an elevation of 176 metres. To put Chicago underwater will require a sea level rise of 177 metres. Is John Kerry for real? His arithmetic seems to be as bad as most other warmist/alarmists.
Gore “discussed the need to not just win — but to win quickly enough to make a difference,” according to the source.

Yep. A difference to them. They can see the writing on the wall and they know they are running out of time. If they don’t lock it down soon their Master Plan will be on the fire along with everything else Green.
H.R.
They have to “win” NOW because temps are going to start dropping ON THEIR OWN. If they win ahead of that, they can, and will, claim that their policies and green tech turned this thing around! They can literally use a Natural Tipping Point, to claim their own success at mitigating climate change. THINK about it. If WE (skeptics) are right, their window is starting to close. What urgency this creates for them!

Whitehouse (btw: isn’t he the guy that said New England fishermen “drive to the fish?”) and Leahy in one word: desperate.

Come November, …. Game Over.
Bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaa!
It’s all just political BS, preaching to the choir … and their media mouthpieces.
Sooner or later, the truth will out (it certainly appears to be well on it’s way, already).
Notwithstanding the opinions of the CAGW crowd to the contrary, normal average people are not stupid,
November 2014 will provide a dose of reality to this sad crowd of rich entitled “children”.

we shouldn’t mock, they’re trying to save us from more crime!
19 Feb: LA Times: Louis Sahagun: Climate change brings more crime
The study by Matthew Ranson of Abt Associates, a research and consulting firm in Cambridge, Mass., suggests global warming will trigger more crimes including murders and rapes over the next century, with social costs estimated to run as high as $115 billion.
Between 2010 and 2099, climate change can be expected to cause an additional 22,000 murders, 180,000 cases of rape, 1.2 million aggravated assaults, 2.3 million simple assaults, 260,000 robberies, 1.3 million burglaries, 2.2 million cases of larceny and 580,000 cases of vehicle theft, the study published this week in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management says.
Compared with the number of crimes expected to occur during this period in the absence of climate change, these figures represent a 2.2% increase in murders, a 3.1% increase in cases of rape, a 2.3% increase in aggravated assaults, a 1.2% increase in simple assaults, a 1% increase in robberies, a 0.9% increase in burglaries, a 0.5% increase in cases of larceny and a 0.8% increase in cases of vehicle theft, the study says.
The social costs of these increases would be roughly $38 billion to $115 billion, based on dollar values of per-offense losses established by earlier research…
The study merged monthly reports on criminal activity from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting files with temperature and precipitation records for 2997 counties from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center’s Global Historical Climatology Network Daily and projections of future climate drawn from 15 global circulation models.
The data set covers a 30-year period and contains 891,000 unique county-by-year-by-month observations.

19 Feb: WaPo: Ed Rogers: The Insiders: Democrats have turned the global warming debate into a cartoon
Additionally, a California billionaire and anti-Keystone XL pipeline activist, Tom Steyer, has burst onto the stage pledging to spend $100 million to try to elect Democrats who share his views on climate change/global warming. The bottom line is the left is obsessed with raising people’s power bills..
That’s really what this is all about. The 2014 election should be a referendum on the economy, and I hope voters — in part — vote on whether or not they want to let the Obama administration and the likes of Mr. Steyer raise their power bills. The Democrats have made it a crusade. The left cannot get enough of bogus reasons why Americans should have to pay more for the electricity they use.
Liberals want to blame everything on climate change, from any significant weather event to beached whales to the proliferation of boring beetles…
Well, I have my own theory. I’m not a scientist, but I do watch a lot of the Discovery Channel with my 11-year-old daughter, and I say global warming will result in more meteorites hitting the Earth. That’s right. I say carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases are displacing oxygen, resulting in an atmospheric shift that will deplete the accelerants that are necessary to completely incinerate asteroids before they impact the Earth’s surface. Why not? Sounds about as reasonable as a lot of the other wacky claims about global warming that are out there…
Even if voters had to endure a meteor shower in a superstorm during an earthquake, and the Democrats said it was all because of global warming, I still don’t think Americans would vote to let them raise their home electricity bills. Let’s have an election about that.
Secretary Kerry’s latest comments and Mr. Steyer’s millions have made the climate-change debate even more surreal than it already was. They are crowding out any rational discussion about the diplomacy, mitigation and technology that might actually make sense to voters and make a difference.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2014/02/19/the-insiders-democrats-have-turned-the-global-warming-debate-into-a-cartoon/
Dudley Horscroft, you are giving John Kerry and his audience to much credit, after all he knows like you and I Chicago has a beach and water front, In his world if the sea rises obviously that water in lake Michigan has to rise. You and I know Chicago is on a lake well above sea level, John Kerry and his audience do not know the difference. Yet they are the one that call us unscientific! We just have to remember that our media and politicians went into those profession to the most part because science was [too] hard! At this point in our sorry state of affair all I can say is God help us! In forty years we went from Kissinger to Kerry, on my have not like most of Kissinger [positions] but you could not call him stupid. When I look at the Democrats President list of Secretaries of State since Nixon they are a list C and D students from high school, To the most part they are and were a bunch buffoons and hate anyone smarter then them, unfortunately for us and the world that is the majority of population the world.
Do liberals have mirrors in their homes? Are they magical so that they cannot see the tyranny they want to bring on others? These people are so disconnected from reality it is scary!

Off topic, Pat, but I think she might still live in Pacific Heights, or at least she did thirty years ago when I did a renovation on a mansion across the street from her house. If I recall correctly, it was a big, interesting, shingled, Tudor house with a fake thatched roof motif. I won’t give the street name, but it’s right outside the Presidio and one of the only developments in San Francisco that has a circular street. We called it Pacific Heights at the time, but Presidio Heights might be more accurate.
Maybe you have more recent knowledge. Sea Cliff is at the other end of Lake Street, right out on the water. Spectacular.

These days you are very likely going to end up in jail. The incredible assault on the constitution is very frightening. Some of the news about rights being thrown out the window are unreal.

It could have been a bad salmon mouse, like from the python movie.
“Democratic fundraising dinner”
Again, i’m reaching that point where my blood is turning black. I cannot stand that corporate word ‘democracy”; because I know most people associate that word with freedom- its not freedom.
The dinner party was pretty much intended for those internal to a foreign corporate body known as a democracy.
Imagine this for a second:
Hey, are you Tom Seyer the owner of this ranch? Why yes I am. Well, under the guise of climate change, we’re going to take the right of use to your land. Why? well, you use too much water, have cut down way to many trees and we found a threatened species of bird on you property.

I don’t understand why Al Gore called Tom Steyer “Mr. Tipping Point.” Is it because Steyer’s carbon footprint is big enough to tip us over the edge on its own?
If Lake Michigan were to rise 3 metres it would once again empty through the channel on the south end of the city into the Mississippi River. The channel is a canal at the moment. Were this to occur almost none of Chicago would be under water. Post-glacial rebound of the region may still tilt the Lake up at the north end causing the old course to be taken with no average rise at all. Previously the North exit was blocked by ice. Oh what a glorious climate we had in those days!
‘The refusal to accept global warming is driven by corporate interests ‘

oh so all we need to do is dismantle the capitalist system live in mud huts in an eco utopia and the climate will never change again and all the climate change ‘mass murder’ will stop? Seems like a plan.
there is no co2 deathstar that is going to kill us all. There are eco utopians who want to ‘break the system’ thro taxation and live in an anarchist utopia where people have names like ‘pine tree’ and ‘big owl’
if climate change is caused by the capitalist system then they will be embarrassed by “A California hedge fund investor has pledged $100 million in contributions to pro-environmentalist congressional campaigns, bolstering the battle against climate change.”
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/02/20/us-usa-campaign-climatechange-idUKBREA1J1IZ20140220
in the interests of climate change they should refuse the money?
Let’s see. Tom Steyer was the principle financer of No on California Prop 23. He contributed millions of dollars. You know how the rest of us, we can contribute $2600 max to a political campaign. Apparently that rule doesn’t apply to Steyer.
This dude bought so many elections that it prompted Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation, to say: “We’ve seen companies giving that much, and unions and PACs that have a lot at stake giving $10, $20 million in an election, but you didn’t see that so much for individual donors.”
Proposition 23 was the modest urging for the government to abide by the terms of it’s own global warming law, AB32, that during periods of exceptional financial hardship the global warming law’s implementation be posponed (Yep. They actually wrote that into AB32, an admission by the authors that AB32 will cost the state business in the best of times – proving the lie “investing in green energy will create jobs” , “we can’t afford to let the Chinese beat us to the ‘clean energy'” and so forth.
The Cali democrats knew that line of campaign rhetoric was a pack of lies before Mr. Steyer bought the posters and ad spots. And yeah that was him. Mr Tipping Point.
Steyer also contributed millions to defeat Ken Cuccinelli, in the Virginia Governors race.
Ken lost by what? A couple hundred votes? How you feel about that Virginia, that a rich New Yorker transplant in California can buy your election? Does it feel good?
According to the Wiki, it was reported in January 2013 that Steyer might be named as a replacement for Energy Secretary Steven Chu. What an investor in politicians knows about energy, I have no idea, but I do know Steyer is one of Obama’s bestest money bagmen.
SO if he wants to be Energy Secretary of the United States, he will be, nitpicks like professional competence be damned!
Or he might replace Diane Feinstein in 2018. Maybe both. Why not?
If he does either I’ll have the smug satisfaction of him doing to you good folk out in fly over country directly, what he has been doing to the good people of California through the backdoor for years.

No tax deductions for donating.

You must be unfamiliar with the Republican party and their uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. See Election 2012 for details.

Exploiters are in a hurry to do ‘something’ so they can claim credit for the change, much like they used the Montreal Protocol to exploit reduction of the southern ozone hole, even though it wasn’t directly related (it was likely caused by warmer temperatures in the Antarctic in 2002), and the hole continues but the headlines ignore that little detail. They are masters of illusion.
Quote: “Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) “focused on how exposed the Republicans are for adopting and promoting a basic anti-science position,” the source said.”
I wonder how long it took these two to get there from the northeast while riding their minimal-carbon-release horse and buggies….wait…

So laughable, the democrats / leftists are all strong believers in science … until they see study after study showing leftist economics doesn’t work [not to mention reality slapping them hard across the face]. Or, studies showing the relationship between gun ownership and reduced crime. That kind of science escapes the “science-based” hacks [as does any other that doesn’t fit their agenda].
