Truth is often stranger than fiction, and Al Gore’s missives are often stranger than both. Robert Schaefer writes:
I just got back from the 2014 International UFO Congress, the largest UFO conference in the world, where somebody was passing out the following to the attendees (a double-sided paper on orange stock). Looks like Al Gore is using Extraterrestrials to help fight Global Warming!
On another matter, the Randi Foundation has not yet posted the video of Michael Mann’s talk on their YouTube channel. I suspect that Mann may not want them to.

Either this is a joke being perpetrated by somebody at the conference just for fun, or it’s a sign of desperation, something I can surely understand when you look at graphs like this:
Lower rank numbers are better, for example, Google is #1.
For the record, I don’t believe in Aliens/UFO’s on Earth (with millions of cell phone cameras you’d think we’d have a decent picture by now) or Al Gore’s global warming claims. – Anthony
Al Gore is a shape shifting alien reptile and I wish he’d go home.
I thought believers in UFOs actively wanted THEM to make themselves known to us, not dissuade THEM from visiting the third rock out from Sol the bluey/green one that has been radiating strange radio signals in every direction for around one hundred of their orbits.
Amazing to think that 40 light years from here there could be a race of multi-tentacled creatures with a really good radio telescope and a good translator- shocked at the antics of Richard Nixon and wondering if The Beatles are going to get back together in 1974, because their solo albums to date have been a bit disappointing, but the reports of global cooling and a new 1970s ice age don’t sound too good.
At least we can count on help from ManBearPig to fight off the aliens…

Oh I don’t know about that.
We can’t even get a good picture of Yeti and we know he’s real.

This debate is just getting truly bizarre. Common sense has well and truly flown out the window.
“For the record, I don’t believe in Aliens/UFO’s on Earth (with millions of cell phone cameras you’d think we’d have a decent picture by now)… ”
Don’t you think the Aliens know that. That’s why they shapeshift. Who does the alien bounty hunter remind you of? (;>)
Gore and aliens. Presumably the latter’s carbon footprint is much smaller than that of Gore. After all, that shouldn’t be too difficult, no matter what species from whatever planet.
“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”

It is not “earthlings” but “Earthians” as the Australian ex-Green leader, Senator Bob Brown can tell you. He has been in contact.
“The pursuit of eternity is no longer the prerogative of the gods,” said the Greens leader, “it is the business of us all, here and now.”

By the time I’ve switched the phone to camera, they’ve accelerated way above cloud level, you never get a clear image of anything that fast.
They’re called Teasers- intergalactic rich kids with powerful rides who get a kick out of buzzing primitive worlds, strutting up and down in front of some poor soul, who no one is ever going to believe, making “beep-beep” noises.

Before Al welcomes ETs to our cozy planet, I hope he asks them first if they consider humans as tasty.
The ClimateReality Project poster says
Venus has 96% Co2 in its atmosphere. Temperature = 460 °C
Mars has 95.9% Co2 in its atmosphere. Temperature = −55 °C
Earth has 0.4% Co2 in its atmosphere. Temperature = 15°C
The IPCC informs me that on planet
GoreEarthThen there is the issue of atmosphere, pressure etc. Is the ClimateReality Project attempting to mislead?
PS the Father of modern day global warming, Dr. James Hansen, had this to say back in the 1960s.
My last paragraph should not be indented. My words, not a quote.
Kind of makes sense to me…
I mean, maybe they are just hoping little green men can help them find their missing 0.4 degrees of global warming!
If ‘aliens’ listened to Al Gore’s they would have saved themselves energy and just invaded Mars. The only problem is that they would freeze to death. Mars has 95.9% Co2 in its atmosphere (almost exactly the same as Venus) yet has an average temperature = MINUS −55 °C.
It is always better to give people ALL the information and avoid cherry picking. Did you see he only included Venus, Mercury and Earth? Why? 😉
For the record I do not believe in aliens.
I learnt a new term: ALGOR MORTIS aka DEATH CHILL
Algor mortis: the cooling of a body after death. Algor mortis theoretically occurs at a rate of 1ºC/hour, assuming the decedent is an adult of normal weight and the ambient temperature is circa 20ºC. The rate of cooling is increased if the decedent is thin or malnourished, and if the environmental temperature is low and/or if it is windy. The rate is slower in the obese, in those who were febrile at the time of death or if the ambient temperature is high.

Fitting, eh? Chortle!

That’s okay – aliens believe in you!

We were once aliens. Damn it! This is getting silly with Mr. Al Bore.
@ur momisugly Hunter (2:59pm) — Thanks for the great video clip — LOL. Well, they did get one thing right. “…the signals are earth-based.”

Jimbo, re: your VERY GOOD COMMENT at 3:37pm (along with your good point at 3:46pm), just to reassure you, you write so well that despite the italics glitch (annoying as it was to you, I’m sure), it was quite clear that the last paragraph was your words.
I have been aware of this for some time. Maybe this will be the unraveling of E. Randi. He would have learned a hard and bitter lesson about scepticism and science.
Randi can start by looking at the rain and Michael Mann’s broken twig.

I like the ‘Randi’ link. That was classic.
Hey!!! Leave us out of your planetary squabbles!
We thought about taking over the place, but this stuff about man being able to change the climate has us thinking you’re all a little too “out there” for us.
Your friendly local neighborhood undocumented space alien.
My default position is that climate change is real and happens all the time.
I don’t deny that climate change exists, because that is what the climate does.
I don’t deny that climate change is happening.
I don’t deny that there has been over 16 years of a surface temperature standstill.
I don’t deny that over 90% of the climate models failed to project the standstill.
I don’t deny that Antarctica sea ice extent has been trending up since 1979.
I don’t deny that winter snow extent has been trending up since 1967.
I don’t deny that Arctic sea ice extent and volume is about 50% up on Sept 2012.
There is a lot that I don’t deny. Maybe Randi should take up on Mann’s advice and starts
Randi may regret his lapse of scepticism. That is when he will renounce climate science and become very, very angry for being such an old, rotten brained fool. A sucker despite his attempts to debunk. This sort of thing can make a man lose the will to live. You devote much of your life to mocking suckers and yet YOU have been suckered. Sad really.

And he learnt Portuguese and visited Brasil many times. !
OMG! They are on to us already 😎
