Al Gore should come shovel my driveway!

I look outside and it’s snowing again so let me start this with a bit of honesty. I don’t believe in global warming. I especially don’t believe that it is man-made. For millennia temps have risen and fallen. At one point the earth was covered in ice. We know this because we have films of it. Ray Romano roamed the earth with a Sabertooth tiger looking for colder climates and John Leguizamo annoyed us as much a million years ago as he does today. Seriously, we have evidence that ice was everywhere and somehow melted long before factories, cars, and the fluorescent bulb existed. Glaciers have shifted like an over-sized guy in a middle seat on a 4 hour flight since the dawn of time. The ice in Alaska has broken off for generations and the native people have a term for the sound it makes that roughly translates to ‘white thunder’. They didn’t just create that line so an Eskimo could get his SAG card during ‘Inconvenient Truth’.
As a kid I remember the cover of Time magazine warning of the coming ice age if we didn’t act now. One of the main things we needed to do was reduce emissions and cut back on using our dwindling fossil fuels. Sound familiar? Ah but that wasn’t scary enough to forward the environmentalist agenda was it? We weren’t impressed so they changed it to global warming and talked about coming floods, fires, starvation, locusts, dogs and cats living together!
Now more and more evidence is coming out that we have been duped! While Big Al is flying around the globe telling us to conserve fuel he’s raking in the dough on his faux ”cash for carbon credits” program. Before I go on to carbon credits let’s not forget to cover the hypocrisy of flying around a private jet to warn of a carbon-caused doomsday. That’s like Magic Johnson holding an orgy for AIDS awareness. Just recently, hundreds of private jets and thousands of limos converged on Copenhagen to decide the policies that could save us all. Step one, travel less. Duh! Aside from chaos and confusion, do you know what fell on their meetings…snow! More snow in fact than had been seen in that area in quite some time.
I’m rambling a bit but the reality of what we’re being fed is about as meaningful as the relationships on the Bachelor. The recent email scandal that showed collusion and cover-up, the sensors that were lost and data created until they were found and proven incorrect, and now the finding the melting of the glaciers was hacked from some Indian kid’s book report should be enough to knock off all the hype for a while! We have to chill the warming hysteria as the countless lies given to us could easily destroy our economy and the economies of developing nations. And for what, to stroke the misguided guilt of the Birkenstock crowd?
Yes we need to cut emissions for the sake of a cleaner world in which to live. Yes we need to recycle for a number of reasons and of course we need to keep our waterways clean for countless reasons too. But until we can prove without a doubt that the Earth is warming and it is being done by man we need to be careful about how drastic our reactions are. And one last thing, if Al Gore can’t stop lying to the world and at least living his talk, he needs to come up to Minnesota and shovel my driveway. The snow in my yard is deeper than the BS he’s been feeding us the last 10 years.
