Poor Al Gore. He thought his inconvenient truth was that poor frog in the boiling water. It’s beginning to look as if the real inconvenient truth, however, may be that the anthropocentric global warming hysteria convulsing the Western world is fiction:
An inconvenient new peer-reviewed study published in the December 2007 issue of the [...]

Nicholas Wishek has used Bore’s Nobel Prize as a leaping off point for a pointed expose of the looniness that is modern liberalism, and the complicit media that protects and serves the liberal agenda. Here are some nice little gems from the column, but I do think you should read the whole thing:
Now, I [...]

Al Gore is refusing to run:
The win is also likely add further fuel to a burgeoning movement in the United States for Gore to run for president in 2008, which he has so far said he does not plan to do.
Kenneth Sherrill, a political scientist at Hunter College in New York said Gore probably enjoys [...]

I was glad to see that the Nobel Prize committee hasn’t lost its touch. Al Gore, the man whose movie is so inaccurate it needs to come with a warning, has now joined the august panoply of other recent Nobel Peace Prize winners. In case you’ve forgotten, here are some of the highlights [...]

A liberal friend told me today that it’s okay that Al Gore lives high on the energy hog because, while his message is important, you can’t really expect him to change his lifestyle: “He’s entitled to expect a certain standard of living.” Same friend was unfazed by the fact that Al certainly seems to expect [...]

Jonah Goldberg’s analysis of Gore’s approach to climate change sounds entirely accurate given the way in which Gore is presenting the problem and the changes he’s demanding:
Indeed, he wants to change attitudes about government as much as he wants to preach environmentalism. Global warming is what William James called a “moral equivalent of war” that [...]

The title of this post describes how I felt when I read this fawning article in the SF Chronicle about Bore’s appearance on Capitol Hill, especially since its ultimate paragraphs have Babs Boxer practically eulogizing Bore without his having to go through the bother of dying first. This is not reasoned analysis; this is politics [...]

It’s getting so that, every day, every where, more and more people are beginning to challenge the “debate is over” pronouncement regarding global warming. My two favorite from today are an interview with Christopher Horner, an environmental lawyer and (former?) liberal who wrote the The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism), [...]

Over the months, I’ve denigrated Western global hysteria on the ground that whatever we do is irrelevant. China (and possibly India) will make the difference. To pat myself on the back, I was right:
Far more than previously acknowledged, the battle against global warming will be won or lost in China, even more [...]

This time, I’m going to be brief (dinner to prepare, slumber party to calm, dog to walk, yadda, yadda, yadda). Just go to Media Lies and see a good article about the real scandal behind Gore’s posturing — and it’s not those $30,000 annual energy bills.

Al Gore might be thinking right now that he’s fallen into the “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it” trap. After all, his film, having won an Academy Award, is now coming under more intense scrutiny than ever. Wait, that’s wrong. The film isn’t, but Al is. And the scrutiny falls into [...]

Coincidentally, a day after An Inconvenient Truth won its Oscar, Netflix delivered the same film to us. We watched it last night. Or rather, I should say, I attempted to watch it. After ten minutes of listening to Al Bore’s disconcertingly slow and rhythmic voice (disconcerting, because the speed and rhythm never [...]

When Tina Brown took over The New Yorker, it got hip, edgy and, to me, boring. We continue to subscribe, though, in large part because Mr. Bookworm has always subscribed. And I still read it because it's there, which is how I got to read two movie reviews that give away entirely the [...]
