One day climate change skeptics will be seen in the same negative light as racists, or so says former Vice President Al Gore.
In an interview with former advertising executive and Climate Reality Project collaborator Alex Bogusky broadcasted on --, Gore explained that in order for climate change alarmists to succeed, they must “win the conversation” against those who deny there is a crisis.

The key word here is ALARMISTS. Alarmists means: person who needlessly alarms or attempts to alarm others, as by inventing or spreading false or exaggerated rumors of impending danger or catastrophe.

It is not a very flattering term and I never expected to hear it coming from Al Gore. Is he starting to have doubts? Strange why he used it unless he doesn't know what it means.

This article has near 1500 comments, I have never seen so many on an article.

I think Gore is loopy here though. Climate could be changing, but I really don't want to pay much more for things.

This brings up one the subject of peak oil. They say the price of oil is up due not just the BRICS countries buying new cars etc, but also limited refining capacity due to the driving season. In Vancouver, the price of gas is $1.33 a litre. So, if the price of gas stays this high in the fall, when the driving season is long over, it may mean peak oil is here. Because the oil companies cannot find enough oil and we will use less of it because it will continue to climb in price and cost more to do less.

Peak oil will do what Gore and climate change couldn't. Cheap energy is oil and and fossil fuels. Gore will "win" but society will lose as we will no longer be able to afford so many creature comforts. According to the link below, one barrel of oil has the energy of one man labouring for ten years. 5 days week, 40 hours week. Even if they are off by 80%, we could have a problem if gas goes to $2-5 a litre.

Peak? Are you serious? You have no idea.....

Must mean that his carbon trading scam isn't producing enough revenue. Time will prove that the sky is falling alarmist types like Gore and Suzuki will be in the same category as racists.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The sky isn't falling. It's tilting.

At this point it's less racism, and more specism.

I thought this Thread would be an audio or video clip pertaining to when Al Gore
Popped about a month back (heard the clip on satalite radio) speaking to some
group where he was asked questions he didn't want to answer. It was freaky.

I found part of it here:

Especially because he didn't fully contest his victory in 2000. A chump loser. Now saving the world is his goal. Double chump loser.

One reserve you've never heard about holds: 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia 18-times as much oil as Iraq 21-times as much oil as Kuwait 22-times as much oil as Iran 500-times as much oil as Yemen.

The Bakken is about 2 Trillion last I heard, and something about a patch in the Rockies?
Is that the one you're talking about.

One of the ones in the rockies yeah. Green River but there are others. There are reserves, proven reserves and potential reserves, when all said and done peak oil won't be for another 250-350 years. In geological time we are only drilling to depths of less than 200-300 million years for our oil. Oil producing aquatic life goes back to 3 Billion years. We are literally only just scratching the surface.

Drilling tech is advancing in leaps and bounds in recent times and only going to get better. We have the material to endure the heat of deep drilling but not he mass production.

by the way. A dirtly little secret of why we have National Parks was to save mass amounts of resources for future use when we can use it without being pigs.

Grassland's National Park is where it is for a damn good reason and was recently created for a damn good reason.

Hey look everyone Gopher alerted us to a Bush Comparison.

Thanks Gopher, well done you.

Is there any way that you can bring some dead Palestinians into the Al Gore issue as well?

Maybe the evil IDF?

Climate change. I`m glad it changed back to normal again. But it will ebb again until the next solar cycle.
PS do cooling oceans cause droughts?

There is plenty of gas. Then we have to convert millions of cars to natural gas from oil. It will take decades and it hasn't started yet. Because what do you do first, build the natural gas stations or the cars? Likely fleets of trucks will start, if they have, and they don't yet. Trucks can have stations right in their yards.

National parks were made so huge because one hundred years ago Banff and Jasper had few people liivng there. Bigger than some European countries. Like they knew about hydrocarbons 100 years ago. Try not to give our leaders too much credit.

Nat Gas (sour gas) is two to three times abundant and will be used for turbine driven electricity generation. With current emission technology it is impossible to burn sour gas without killing **** loads of everything....UNLESS it is carbon capture (wink wink) and pumped back into the ground to be used for a solvent in the Williston Basin to regenerate current sweet and mid grade crude fields of the Northern Bakken in SK ND SD MT MN, WY plus Bakken kerogen Green River CO kerogen and more down to Mexico and the entire Caribbean gas fields. Using the electrical heating process with even more carbon credits for heating towns and cities with the geothermal heat by-product and we can all free green about living and working in the oil fields of northern US right through Sask to northern Sask and Alberta North West BC, offshore BC clear through to the Yukon and off shore Yukon and in the seas as far as Ellesmere.

Peak what peak? We just get to pay for it all as Global Socialists saving Gaia.

I'm starting to think it was a good thing Bush beat him in the election.... friggin crack pot.

They need to win the conversation?

Obviously... and once they start providing facts, they might just do that. All they have are models and exaggerated statistics.

But until then.

But Prax, what about that evil hurricane that destroyed New York?

Indeed..... what about that? It fizzled as I expected a CAT 1 would and considering NY got hit by a worse one in the 30's and before then even, how does one explain that?

Oh wait, now I'm a racist.... oh noes!

WE don't even know how much oil and gas is sitting off the west coast because some short sighted liberal government in Ottawa put a moritiorium on drilling about 30 years ago.

Holy Climate Change Batman! What a meltdown! I think another poster is correct, his carbon credit company must be taking a HUGE HIT! Al Gore invested a lot of his money into the carbon credit sale scam so he has a lot to scream about.

No one thinks there is an oil field there that qualifies to what they call an "elephant", with over 30 billion barrels of oil. No elephants have been found since the 1970s. We use 30 billion barrels a year, and are only finding about 15 billion barrels, simple arithmetic says the price of oil will rise in a few years. Plus add political uncertainty and millions of new cars purchased each year and refining issues.

Says here we've been using more than we've been finding for decades.
--
"Key sources of future production are future discoveries. The chart below, from -- shows that annual discoveries have been decreasing since the mid 1960s. It also shows that production has exceeded discoveries since 1984 which is clearly unsustainable"


Here it says we consumed only 4 billion barrels per year in the 1970s. Now its 30 billion per year.

I don't think I could spend more than five minutes with Al Gore before bitch slapping him. He is so condescending, like he is smarter than everyone, I bet Clinton even hated having to meet with him.

Article from Reuters stating that for past 5 years or so the oil industry has been finding about 15-20 billion new barrels of oil a year. The world consumes 30 billion barrels of oil per year. The arithmetic works against us here. As a result, cheap oil is never coming back. Peak oil doesnt mean oil will run out, it means all forms of energy will become more expensive. Hence, less pollution as we burn less, and less greenhouse gases. Al Gore wins!
