Al Gore has been known for his climate change warnings since the 2006 film
“An Inconvenient Truth.”

But the former vice president, speaking Saturday in Kansas City, cited
many more recent examples how heavy use of fossil fuels is contributing to
extreme weather events and trends, in his view.

Gore filled a Westin Crown Center ballroom with a 90-minute presentation,
using photos and videos to illustrate a litany of floods, wildfires,
torrential rains, droughts, dust storms, rising sea levels and increasing
world temperatures.

To those attending the Folk Alliance International conference, he noted
examples of flooding in locations both remote and closer to home, such as
in Manitou Springs, Colo., where high water barreled down mountain
highways last year, carrying cars along with it.

“They had never seen anything like this in Manitou Springs,” Gore said.

He cited the possibility of how flooding in Pakistan could destabilize
that country, a nuclear power, and the possible effect that continuing
drought in California might have on the world’s food supply.

“Think about that,” he said. “The Dust Bowl is coming back, quickly,
unless we act.”

Gore presented animation from his 2006 film depicting water pushing into
the streets of lower Manhattan — much mocked at the time, Gore said —
followed by images of water filling New York City subway tunnels during
Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.

Gore conceded the possible fatigue some may have with his warnings, as
well as the possible sense of powerlessness as to what any one individual
can do to affect what appear to be vast, unchangeable trends.

“Do we really have to do this and — if the answer is yes — can we do it?”
Gore said, repeating two questions he routinely hears.

“The answer to both of those questions — spoiler alert — is ‘yes.’ ”

Gore cited what he considered the increasing momentum with which renewable
energy technologies such as wind and solar power have been embraced.

Just as one telephone company study 25 years ago underestimated the huge
increase in the use of cellphones, estimates on the acceptance of wind and
solar technology also have been conservative, Gore said.

Among the countries or states turning to renewable energy strategies, Gore
mentioned the Vatican’s increasing use of solar technology. Vatican City,
Gore said, wants to be the first CO2-neutral sovereign city-state in the
world.

“They have two advantages,” Gore said. “It is very small, and they have
God on their side.”

He urged his listeners to act on an individual basis.

“The one missing ingredient may well be you, no kidding,” he said.

And, given how he was addressing a room filled with folk music admirers,
Gore framed his remarks with references to two singers: Bob Dylan and the
late Pete Seeger. Reciting a phrase from “The Times They Are a-Changin’ ”
and later invoking Seeger’s memory, Gore urged those in attendance to
write songs and spread a renewable energy message “all over this land.”

Folk music, he added, “played a positive role in resolving the central
question in civil rights, as to what was truly right and truly wrong.”

Looks like they're experiencing a Polar Goretex.

The dust bowl was primarily caused by farming marginal lands, and poor
tillage practices. The weather, while a bad drought, was not even as bad
as it is today. He proves again, he does not know what he is talking
about.

Let's use this as a test case. Let's do nothing and see if Gore's
predictions come true. And when they don't, as they never have in the
past, let's laugh at his moving the goalposts once again in the name of
his pseudoscientific, anti-falsifiability scare mongering.

No SUV's during the dust bowl Al, and only a fraction of the amount of oil
and coal used today. So what triggered the dust bowl?

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America.

Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still
has his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.

Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt prior to their removal for
failing to represent the people and constitutional violations.

“An Inconvenient Truth.”
Let's see, it's just been reported that the Air on the Eastern Slope of
Colorado fails the test for clean air due to Methane. Guess where most
of that Methane is coming from? Oil wells that either burn it (causing
heavy CO2) and Methane. It's equivalent to having an active spewing
Volcano.

The new laws says they have to stop releasing or burning Methane.
Believe it or not, they can trap and ship methane for commercial uses.
Processing Methane for fuel makes what was once called Coal Oil. The
modern name for it is Kerosene which is what Jet Fuel is made from.
It's just been easier and cheaper for the last 100 years just to burn it
or let it leak out.

Now tell me again that dumping an equivalent of a Spewing Volcano is not
going to affect the weather?

Just reporting the News. The Real news. It all came out this morning.
The ones that have been harping that the Oil Companies have left
Colorado due to over regulation are very quiet right about now. There
isn't one single reputable scientist disagreeing with it since it's
pretty well a slam dunk. But it's something that can be repaired just
by cleaning up the Methane being burned (Carbon Monoxide and Carbon
Dioxide) and not allow the gases to be allowed into the atmosphere (Methane)


YEs, this is the only state ding this right now but look for other
Western States to follow as the science and cause and affect are solid.
