Gore to the breach. But wait, I know some college students that have noticed $4.00 a gallon gas. Interesting to think about the juxtapose of I need to fill my tank and those big industry lobbyists. Or maybe when I graduate it would be great to get a job not sucking off the government. "Gore to young advocates: Battle industry lobbyists to turn the tide on climate" "Al Gore told young green energy advocates Friday that progress on global warming must come from a strong grassroots movement that can counter the oil and coal lobbies, which he alleged have “paralyzed” governments. Gore – who compared action on global warming to the Civil Rights movement – was the keynote speaker at Power Shift 2011, a Washington, D.C. conference attended largely by college students." thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/156445-al-gore-to-youth-battle-industry-lobbyists-to-turn-the-tide-on-climateIsn't it great that we have official recognition and support of subversive organizations and activities?

I wonder how big was the Limo Gore took from his private plane to speak to those gullible leftist twits?  |

Are you naive and curiously simple-minded, or are you paid to say things like that?

I always knew that is was the details, but now I know the government wants full intrusion. Alarmism in the name of AGW is just a greater grab of power for the greater good. "TIME: Ice Makers Are Destroying the Planet!"  "Climate modelers have long known that households are far bigger contributors to global warming than most laypeople realize. For all the blame tailpipe emissions take for escalating temperatures, homes and office buildings are actually the single largest contributor to greenhouse gasses. One key reason is the 100-plus million refrigerators in America's 111 million households. According to the Department of Energy, the standard fridge sucks up about 8% of the electricity used by all homes—a pretty big share given the dozens of big and small appliances and electronics that are also drawing juice. …the Department of Energy has announced that it intends to add 84 kilowatt hours to the efficiency rating of every refrigerator equipped with an icemaker. Consumers will feel that fact in the wallet—and if manufacturers don't scramble to improve their numbers, they soon will too. nation.foxnews.com/culture/2011/04/18/time-ice-makers-are-destroying-planet |

…the Department of Energy has announced that it intends toturn refrigerators into bigger piles of crap than they are now. They used to run for 40 years. Actually, the new standards will make refrigerators quieter, more efficient, and thus likely more reliable. There is no downside. Ever heard of Sunfrost? |

How about we all just jump in the wayback machine and go back to these. Totally silent, absolute reliability, and don't use any electricity at all. Just have to drain the water every day or so, but you can use that for other things.  |

there was a Supreme Court ruling that the waters have to be navigable per the law. Since then Congress has been trying to pass a new law so they would have control over all of it. Like CO2 though they can't get it passed so now they will do it through regulation. When are people going to wake up? |

Never, if Van Jones and the Pachamama Alliance have their way. www.foxnews.com/world/2011/04/25/obama-adviser-van-jones-helping-push-rights-mother-nature/ I will say that it seems as tho the vast majority of eco-wackos reside in megacities and have no clue what the so-called natural world is all about. Out here in the country, folks have a more rational view of nature, and the EPA is viewed in the same light as 1920's revenuers were. Not welcome. |
