Shows you just how much he’s fallen off the radar, Gore’s harshest critic even forgot about it. I had to be reminded. From my Inbox today:
Climate Champion–
It’s finally here! 24 Hours of Reality: The Cost of Carbon is starting in a few minutes.
Click here to make sure you don’t miss a beat.
And don’t forget to take part in the largest-ever conversation on carbon pollution on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ with the hashtag #CostOfCarbon and by using the Cost of Carbon tool.
We’re looking forward to spending the next 24 hours talking about the solution that can change the course of our future with various experts, celebrities, scientists, and most of all, you.
Hope you’ll join us!
The Climate Reality Team
Watch, don’t watch, point and laugh, anything goes. Not many are paying attention, though I’m sure we’ll see the same sort of stats laundering we saw last year.
Readers are welcome to post some of the most ridiculous claims made in the CRP here.

Gored! Say no more.
I’m sorry, A minute did me in.
What’s the carbon footprint/cost of “24 hours of reality”???
Or are their servers windmill powered….. Wouldn’t want to give the ‘deniers’ any fodder to show the hypocrisy, now would we? 🙂
Since I just watched the EPA carbon pollution video, I couldn’t stomach watching this – I lasted about 2 minutes of “the cost of carbon” which doesn’t really mean carbon at all, but carbon dioxide. If you are going to promote something Gore, at least call it by it’s real name. I’m getting sick of this ruse!
On a similar subject, when is fracking ok? WHen it’s used for carbon capture. Looks like they are plannning to suck the CO2 from the atmosphere and frack rocks for carbon capture.

I just clicked on a video showing displaced refugees in E. Africa, then areas which have experienced sea erosion in W. Africa. The tag suggests 19 Million + views.
I wonder if this number is a real one or an invented one (and whether this WUWT post resulted in a boost).
Kurt in Switzerland
How many views will he get this year? Yawn.
Celebrities?
CRP?…. an ‘A’ missing somewhere methinks!.
Oh NOOOOO, I’ve already missed three and a half hours! Well I can’t watch it now, I hate starting a series part way through. I’ll wait and watch it when it comes out on DVD.
I long ago gave up on the flim flam man as he is too far gone mentally and rationally.
Not worth my time anymore.
I love your attitude on this. 🙂 I agree, and I can’t be bothered either. Hey, why give that clown any viewing numbers at all? Yeah, I know, it’s wise to keep an eye on the Beasts of Doomsday, but we don’t need all of us to do that.
Wake me up if something interesting happens. Better still, I’ll read about it here, tomorrow, the next day, whenever.
YOU’re Gore’s harshest critic? Well, you do have the world’s leading climate website, so you are serious indeed.
I call Gore MASS MURDERER–can you top that? He kills because carbon dioxide, as plant and autotroph food, is the basis of ALL life on Earth. When carbon dioxide is sequestered underground, “the planet” (which means the biosphere) and “the environment” (which also means the biosphere in this context) can support less life. Al Gore is one of the most dangerous things there is to endangered species. They have to eat. Like everything else.
He is also a mass murderer of human beings. All the shrieking about the sky falling led to the use of corn ethanol in cars, to reduce fossil use. That meant less food–and it was the price of food that sparked the “Arab Spring” riots which killed at least 10 000 Arabs. Riots are never about freedom–always about the price of food. There have probably been tens to hundreds of thousands of others who have starved to death–or been weakened by hunger and succumbed to other things as a direct result.
Fighting energy has also crushed the poor in America and elsewhere, undoubtedly leading to deaths from heat stroke (no air conditioner) and freezing, even in America. World unemployment is seriously high now. That leads to family arguments, and that leads to murders. Crushing energy crushes business, and then they can’t hire people. It is not just death that Gore has caused, but a stupendous amount of suffering. One word for people like that is “monster.”
There are many other words that you do not want on your website.
Mass murderer. Monster. There now, Mr. Anthony Watts–can you top that?
Switched it on, sound off, saw the rock band and turned it off
He’s very popular with the anti-fracking community. Not! I follow quite a few of them on Twitter and none of them have used the #CostOfCarbon hashtag.
The Cost of Carbon = EPA fines and restrictions and their consequent privation.
You go, L.L.G! #(:))
Watch an Al Bore video. Are you kidding? LOL.
Latest news from the programme
Levels of co2 in the atmosphere are now so high that any birds flying above 200 feet are instantly turned into coal and come crashing to the ground. Many cats killed.

Wow, I am the only skeptic commenting right now.
I skipped the videos and went straight to the Cost of Carbon Tool. It turns out that here in London, UK we are at risk of flood, drought and wildfire. That can result in, among other dangers all presented with neat little icons: higher food prices, water scarcity, ecological damage and – most shockingly – loss of wildlife. Gosh, just the thought of losing all those poor rats, foxes and pigeons to flood or wildfire! The horror!
Happily, there is no alarming icon of a human in flames, so I take it there is no need to panic.

CRP? They forgot the “A”.
Apple announces iPad Air on the same day. I wonder who the heck messed up that communication? Climate Reality can’t even get trending. And Big Al sits on the Apple board. #CLIMATEREALITYFAIL
The cost of carbon?
2 different ways to measure and/ veiw that.
1. The IEA said last year that $5 trillion is needed through 2020 to moderate temperature gains since industrialization to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), a UN target. That’s on top of a projected $19 trillion of spending by the energy industry in a business-as-usual scenario, and is equivalent to an extra $625 billion a year for eight years.

2. However, a new study by Craig Idso, a well known expert on the fertilization effect of CO2 finds:”The Social Benefit of Carbon: $3.5 Trillion in Agricultural Productivity”
Posted by Roy Spencer:

http://www.co2science.org/education/reports/co2benefits/MonetaryBenefitsofRisingCO2onGlobalFoodProduction.pdf
So, we have one side that advocates spending $24 trillion through just 2020 to address the projected outcome of global temperatures from global climate models that use equations that represent what climate scientist theorize are the physics in our atmosphere(even though they have been wrong for 15 years)
Or, we can do nothing, save $24 trillion and reap trillions in benefits from crop yeilds and world food production that we know for certain will continue to occur because of the proven laws of photosynthesis and the profound contribution from CO2.
There are countless men that did far less harm to the human race/planet than Al Gore has, that received life in prison or the death penalty for their crimes.
Instead, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, an Emmy for his movie and hundreds of millions of dollars.
