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.

Oh please will someone put Al Gore and his people out of my misery…

I can see why Al Gore wanted the Australian “Pillar of Fire” now.
Whenever I think of Al Gore this quote comes to mind.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Hitler, The Rise of Evil, Canadian mini TV-Series 2003.

In the pre-Eskimos era (remember the ice is melting so effectively there are no Eskimos now) if a kid drew some people drowning or burning would led the kid to the psychiatrist. Yay kids let’s burn some people while making a video and uploading it to youtube!!!

Yes, it pretty bad with indoctrinated little (but cute) kids, saying and doin, on cue, what they are told to.
But I found this worse, the Climate Symphony song, where only adults are involved.

Not even mr Gore can believe he could sway one single undecided mind towards his cult-alarmism by this.

Well, let’s see – Al Gore supposedly got 16M views over a 24 hour period – or about 666,666 per hour.
A repeat of a 39-year old cartoon “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” got 8.1M for a single hour this year.
Which presentation gave the audience a bigger laugh?
To take it farther, consider this: November 14-15, his presentation started at 7pm (CST) on the 14th, and ended at 6pm (CST) on the 15th.
Taken from here (http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2012/11/tv-ratings-the-x-factor-and-csi-rise-wednesday-while-abc-comedies-fall.html), we see what people found more interesting:
Nov 14th, 7 p.m. (CST)
CBS: “Survivor: Philippines” (10 million viewers)
FOX: “The X Factor” (8 million)
ABC: “The Middle” (8.7 million)/”The Neighbors” (6.7 million)
NBC: “Whitney” season premiere (4.2 million)/”Guys With Kids” (3.8 million)
The CW: “Arrow” (3.8 million, 2.4/4)
So for that hour alone, 45.2 million Americans found something more interesting.
8 p.m. totals out to 98.7M:
CBS: “Criminal Minds” (12.1 million)
ABC: “Modern Family” (11.9 million)/”Suburgatory” (7.2 million)
FOX: “The X Factor” (8.2 million)
NBC: “Law & Order: SVU” (5.7 million)
The CW: “Supernatural” (2.3 million)
9 p.m., we get another 22.4M
CBS: “CSI” (10.8 million)
ABC: “Nashville” (5.9 million)
NBC: “Chicago Fire” (5.7 million)
Actual, verifiable numbers. Not just a single screenshot showing 16M circled in red. So exactly who in the US was watching during that 3 hour period?

I’m not sure which comments were bizarre. Most appeared to be saying the girl was putting out nonsense propoganda. The top comments were anti AGW with a high proportion of likes relative to the total number of comments. Did I miss something?

November 22, 2012 11:40 pm

One more comment, related to above:
7 p.m., 15th November:
CBS: “The Big Bang Theory” (17.4 million viewers). And that’s WITHOUT spambots.
Bazinga!

This display would not pass for the required science project in 5th grade.

This type of nonsense has been mainstream for decades now. I think there is a huge backlash coming. How much of the cr@p that was pushed at you in school do you beleive now?
Most BA’s now don’t even beleive in arithmetic. Solar is free right?

I’ve also look at the Alexa site to compare Al Gores site with WUWT.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/climaterealityproject.org
and compare to http://wattsupwiththat.com/
The stats do not support Al Gore’s claim of 16 million hits at all.

Yes, we can all see the ‘badness’ in that video – but as can be clearly seen – this was only intended to influence and scare NOT educate.
BTW – what was that shifting summer temps graph about? seemed a bit weird to me, was it a cherry picked single site?, the USA, arctic, what?

The unpleasant sight of a child thoroughly indoctrinated. Note, she also enjoys drowning or burning human effigies – that’s the lovable environment movement for you.

Huh, Is that the lowest low there is? How can you beat that, seriously? I was eating when I started to watch this and had to stop. Can´t eat when my mouth is open.

BTW – did anyone else notice that the girls glasses seemed to be plain glass – i.e. a probably a prop to make her look like an intelligent geek?

November 23, 2012 12:22 am

Disgraceful. This little girl will no doubt go on the become someone who earnestly campaigns in the belief she alone has the “truth.” Actually I take leave to doubt she set up that “school science project” unaided …

Can’t bring myself to watch. Where children are involved it’s too sad and disturbing.

November 23, 2012 12:24 am

Well, now we know why Al really, really wanted that Australian fire tornado video. It was for the wildfire part of his little girl science project.
As a chemist, I have to add that Al’s video crew exposed the girl protagonist to some dirty air of her own from those burning dolls. Lots of irritating chemicals and reactive oxygen species in that smoke.

From Occupied Europe, the BBC (Beagle Blog Cartoons) brings you the latest..(But it’s no laughing matter)…http://fenbeagleblog.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/bohemian-subsidy/

This girl is a paid actress. I’ve heard her voice (off screen) in another Green Agitprop video, mewing “Global warming is real” — and I have a “photographic” memory for voices (not for faces, though).

This is perfectly in line with Jay Leno’s reflections on the U.S. educational system. Schools should be free from both political and religious nonsense … and as a country, U.S. is not alone …
… but education among common people are a threat to political and economical power …

Incredible; off the scale.
I note there is no experiment, nor indeed any science, in her science-fair stand (they often have little concept-proving experiments: ‘push the button and watch’, with a theoretical explanation in laymens terms on audio or cards). Such ‘explanation’ as she has is purely supposition.
It’s all about the narrative.

I found it really scary, not for its content, which was complete BS, but because it was slick enough to be believable to gullible young minds and those who know little about the subject of ‘climate change’.
On the plus side, if the alarmist establishment feels it has to produce such BS, they must be experiencing a similar feeling to what Goebbels felt in late 1944. In other words: The game is up, it is now only a matter of time before it is all over.
I, for one, am looking forward to the withering and ultimate demise of the Global Warming Industry and the huge economic damage its leaders, safely insulated in their gravy train, have caused.

It would have had more credibility if they’d used Christopher Lee to set fire to the dolls.

“The unpleasant sight of a child thoroughly indoctrinated.”
Actually I think this young lady is a Hollywood actress. Pretty sure I’ve seen her in a movie recently, perhaps alongside Eddie Murphy. If it comes to me which one it is I’ll let you know. Her glasses are fake too. It’s all fake.
