Let’s hope that Al Gore wastes all his money.

Follow the link for the video.
Obviously those who identify as Republicans are not at all supportive of the message about climate change (although their candidate for president does seem supportive) and independents are much less supportive than Dems, but more supportive than Reps and pretty much flatten out in response saying, at least to me, that they’re probably pretty evenly split on the issue.
It does, however, give lie to the Al Gore quote recently on “60 Minutes” where he claims the skeptics are only a “tiny minority”.
Debbie at Right Truth has this quote that will certainly get some of Gore’s supporters up in arms.
A scientist, David Archibald, - make that a “solar” scientist - told attendees of a Hong Kong environmental conference to “figure out ways of increasing CO2 output….Carbon dioxide is not even a little bit bad - it’s wholly beneficial.”
Jon Caruthers writing for the American Thinker gets in as well.
The conceit that scientists and bureaucrats can use the power the state to manage nature has lead to disaster in the past, and will again if the global warmists keep getting their way.
When Yellowstone National Park was first created, park officials believed they had to “save” the native fauna as well as protect the visitors by killing off the native wolf population. This they did in grand form. Additionally, they noticed the yearly occurrences of wildfires which, according to the then “modern” and “progressive” thought of the day, should be stamped out at all cost.
The net result of these notions was that 110 years or so later half the park burned down…
Read the rest, it’ll serve as a good reminder if Gore’s $300 million is somehow soaking through your thick conservative skull.
Update: Here’s an article from the Daily Mail that won’t sit well with Albert.
