Friday Funny @Algore 'Climate Reality Project' – too stupid to know the difference between CO2 and water vapor

People send me stuff. Today I got a “please send money” solicitation from multi-millionaire climate crusader Al Gore, who reportedly has increased his net worth north of $200 million since losing his Presidential bid in 2000.

You’d think with all that cash at his disposal, he could hire a proofreader before he starts making pitches for money. Here is what was sent with the subject “Science must trump politics”:

gore-co2-watervapor1

The cheesy subject line is of course, a jab at president-elect Trump. In the email, the Gorebots go on to tell us how terrible it is:

Let’s face it: we have a long, hard road ahead of us in 2017. A president-elect who has denied the reality of the climate crisis is about to move into the White House, and he has nominated a list of oil industry insiders to serve in key cabinet positions responsible for the nation’s public lands, environment, and even foreign policy.

But despite these circumstances, we still have hope. That’s because people like you are standing up every day to support common-sense solutions to the climate crisis.

-, please make a gift today. With your support, you’ll help us mobilize activists around the world to accelerate the shift to clean energy and ensure President-elect Donald Trump follows through with the US’ commitment to the Paris Agreement. And for the next two days, your tax-deductible contribution will have 3X the impact.

Our challenge is crystal clear – but so is our opportunity to build on the incredible progress the movement for climate solutions has made this year.

This is our chance to speak up and stand tall.

This is our time to make a difference and create a healthy, sustainable future for our planet.

Science must trump politics in 2017. You can help. Give now.

– Your friends at Climate Reality

I’ve redacted the links to donations, for obvious reasons. I had to chuckle at the claim of “incredible progress”. Yes, it is incredible, just not how they view it.

But what’s really funny is the picture Gore’s people used. Of course they had to put the obligatory evil power plant in the pitch for money, and usually, they pick a smokestack that has been photoshopped to have darker, more menacing smoke and invisible CO2.

Today, hilariously, they used cooling towers venting water vapor, not CO2. They don’t even mention CO2 in the pitch, as they seem to be all about fighting Trump instead. Despite searching, I have not been able to locate the source photo to determine what power plant that photo is from, but wouldn’t it be doubly funny if it turned out to be cooling towers at a nuclear power plant?

“… but wouldn’t it be doubly funny if it turned out to be cooling towers at a nuclear power plant?”
Yes, that would be a hoot. But the irony would probably be over the heads of the left-wing CO2 fighters.
We have had about 20 years of no warming despite all the alarm and hysteria. There is no proof that a few degrees of warming would be of any harm anyway, but the hysteria marches on.
How do these people get to be so stupid anyway? Is it the allure of being on the side of the angels and “saving the world”?

We have big news -:
For the next 38 hours – through midnight ET on New Years Eve – Every single dollar you give up to $110,000 to support the Climate Reality Project will be worth TRIPLE to help us reach our $240,000 goal.
With your support, you’ll help us mobilize activists around the world to accelerate the shift to clean energy and ensure President-elect Donald Trump follows through with the US’ commitment to the Paris Agreement.
And for the next two days, your tax-deductible contribution will have 3X the impact.

Does this mean someone if donating $2 for every $1 donated
or
does it just me they are very creative bookkeepers
or
do they intend to get by with 1/3 of their goal of $240,000?

Chris,
Did you send your money to Clinton? She was the one who collected immensely from the stupid ones. Many of her supporters are also suffering from “clinical projection.” Time and counseling should help heal and bring closure.
Now I would agree that Trump lead the MSM to give himself plenty of unflattering coverage that lead to his election. But as far as the $$$ go, you missed that by millions and in the wrong pocket.

Ever read Charles Murray’s “The Bell Curve?” A significant percentage of the population are burdened with IQ’s that barely make it out of the retarded range. However, they’re not the ones donating to Gore or worrying about Global Worming; they haven’t the money or “education” to do so. The ones Gore is pandering to are the yuppie social climbers for whom “green” virtue-signalling is a badge of having Arrived in the Upper Middle Class. Think Patagonia, Prius, and knee-jerk lefty politics.

with respect to the donations – it’s been pretty amusing to read the wailing of democrat donors from the last election cycle, as they realize they just collectively threw away $1 billion dollars and got nothing at all in return! One of them was quoted as saying “we might just as well have set our money on fire”.

You have a leg up in being one of a small minority of non sceptical folks who come here to change or harass sceptics and are exposed to the thought provoking idea of questioning consensus and those you may think of as your betters.

I would like to know who is going to give double what is given by the public, Al Gore? I don’t think so. It will be interesting to see just how much they will be able to collect.

They based that on the Bode formula from electronics. Except that to get the triple feedback you need to input more energy. If this were actually true it’d be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Not only does it achieve unity, it exceeds it by 300%. It’s another reason their models are failing, among others. Thankfully, the undefined underlying natural
warming that I think that has occured, at least since the 1970’s, hasn’t been anywhere near the predictions/projections.
Of all the things unsaid, is that snow and ice cannot forever accumulate at the poles without an impact on the stability of rotation of the earth.

The beauty of it is that just Trump’s presence on the scene will chase off the faithful and Gore will be lucky to find people foolish enough to fund his dead enterprise.

Water vapor IS the most influential GHG and the crux of the AGW…nay, CAGW, dystopian hypothesis. That being meta stable system triggered by ppm increase in narrow absorption band carbon dioxide to a run away Venus like heating. Pure balderdash.
Yes, water vapor IS responsible for most greenhouse effect. But it also is responsible for most albedo and a darn huge chunk of convective heat rejection from the surface.
Carbon dioxide also promotes noctilucent clouds, those sparse but significant weather structures in the mesosphere..but without thermometers at that altitude, quantification of effects are unknown. Carbonic acid becomes its conjugate anhydride at mesospheric P&T.

That is not the same tower. The tower used by Gore does not have the characteristic outward curve at the top that appears on most nuclear plant cooling towers- which is also on the Gety photo.
Some nuclear plants towers do not have that outward curve, but the ones I’ve seen like that differ from Gore’s photo in that they are not as slim as the one shown.

Cooling water cools the condensors under the steam turbines – not the reactor (which in effect is cooled by the steam turbines). The steam turbines in a nuclear power station are the same as those in a thermal power station. So the cooling towers of a nuclear power station are the same as those at a thermal power station.

This is not uncommon for a charity to have a major donor set something up such as this. However, the source of the funds is commonly explained (sometimes not) or handled via a group, such as:

In this case the main sources are Raynier Institute & Foundation and the Boeing Company.

Being that CO2 was at 280ppm before industrialisation, only 80ppm away from when plant life begins to die, and a mere 130ppm away from when all meaningful plant life and humanity is extinguished, I rather believe we are now emerging from a climate crisis, not entering one.
And whilst Al Gore is piling on the Pounds (OK, that’s British £’s…..US dollars doesn’t work for that joke) he could probably make even more money by telling us all to burn more coal, spend billions on particulate emissions (which are nasty) but pile CO2 into the atmosphere to help along the 14% greening that’s happened over the last 30 years.
But no, the man is so twisted that he would rather satisfy his own ego by turning a non-issue into an issue and make millions from it, just because he can.
It won’t happen, and I have said it before here (apologies for repeating it) but I really, really hope Trump, Putin or May will decide to prosecute these people for fraud, in the public interest. Make damn sure these charlatans will never blight our existence ever again and demonstrate to our children that they were lying to achieve nothing more than line their own pockets.

Or did a pro-AGW activist (translation: “corrupt”) judge deny the defendant’s motion to dismiss?
Discovery ALLOWED? Pending an appeal of that denial? Not stayed?
Well, whatever legal shenanigans are being played the by the Climate Hu$tler$, come January 20, 2017, or soon after, there WILL be a successful motion to dismiss (and/or a judge out of a job) or it will be appealed until it is successful.

Communist like to call their lackeys,( useful idiots) young people, like a religious group calling their soldiers, students. Where’s the outrage in Chicago?
A stable environment…. as if that ever existed..

“Constitutional right to a stable climate?” What Article of the Constitution did I not understand?

Possibly the same one that said that people have the constitutional right to ‘marry’ another person of the same sex. Or the one which allows women to destroy their unborn babies. Once judges are able to make judgements which merely express their own prejudices they can interpret the Constitution any way they wish.

Alba dear you do understand the difference between an embryo and a human being is larger than that of a cat and you?
And the difference between a cell of you and an embryo is not that big either?
Not that your off topic choice of antiabortion rant would be meaningful. I do have tolerance on people disagreeing with me, it’s only that when conservatism is replaced with stupidity, I suddenly want to be a liberal.

The SSM clause was written by the Founding Fathers in 1787 or so. Interesting – very progressive of them.
Did SCOTUS in the majority decision point to the specific spot where it’s found? Or was it just Mabo, the Constitution and the Vibe? (Non Australians should Google that.)

I’m glad that somebody besides me has noticed the accepted fallacious practice of using images of visible smoke to highlight the supposed threats of an invisible gas. Isn’t that a form of false advertising?
I think I will now write an article on the dangers of people who use false imagery, using as my choice of illustration, a worm.

It’s not smoke
it’s steam or water vapor

Water vapor is invisible..except to IR. So it IS a GHG.
We need to blanket the oceans to reduce water vapor to counter AGW ;*]
(Pure sarcasm as it is water vapor which drives convective heat rejection and latent heat loss)

Although it could be, I haven’t seen a nuclear plant cooling tower that does not have the usual outward curve at the top AND is slim like the Gore photo. Some nuclear plants DO NOT have cooling towers, if their source of cooling water can be returned to a body of water at around the ambient temp without the need for a cooling tower. This due to a reg that prevents damage to aquatic life.

Power plants without deep freezing climate don’t need hyperbolic cooling towers if they have sufficient surface water. It isn’t just about thermal pollution although that is another issue. The laws of physics have greater enforcement powers.

Does the CANDU Pickering nuclear power plant have any cooling towers? I don’t remember any. It has a gas turbine exhaust pipe that emits steam which condenses into water droplets (fog),

Why, why, why do we capitulate and call them greenhouse gases? It is merely the earth’s atmosphere – comprised of a teeny, tiny bit of CO2, lots of nitrogen and oxygen, a bit of methane, some dirt and lots and lots of water vapor (clouds, humidity, rain, snow, fog) – there is no greenhouse effect – its a GD atmosphere protecting the earth from cold, cold space

calling it a greenhouse effect is a LIE…..there is NO glass enclosure around the earth, we do NOT have any greenhouse effect…..NOTHING is blocking CONVECTION.

“With your support, you’ll help us mobilize activists around the world to accelerate the shift to clean energy ” HOW??? China and India are going to triple their output of CO2 over the next ten years, and the rest of the countries (other than Russia) output reductions of CO2 are lost in the rounding.errors. So the Paris accord assures that we double the production of CO2. Please explain how that helps? Seems like the agreement was modeled after the Iran Nuke agreement.

That’s because they’re both designed to royally screw over the United States.

” please make a gift today. With your support, you’ll help us mobilize activists around the world to accelerate the shift to clean energy and ensure President-elect Donald Trump follows through with the US’ commitment to the Paris Agreement.”
This money is going to be used for propaganda , not to do any research, testing or anything scientific. This is in line with their mission statement. Anyone who donates must certainly understand they are financing other people to enjoy the high society life style hobnobbing all around the world. Pretty smart to target stupid people to pay for your adventures. After all, stupid people tend to lose all their money anyway, why not to them. Wish I had thought of that.

So they are saying that they need to pay their foreign activists? Or are they saying that they are going to ship their activist abroad?
