Just when you think Al Gore (one of the 1%) has sucked enough money from the AGW movement, He's back! Yep, old Al's new venture is called Al Gore's Climate Reality Project and he's out to get "dirty energy" because it's changing our climate. That sounds noble enough, except this country & the whole World runs on affordable energy. What Al wants to do is create an agency (government) that oversees carbon credits/exchange (taxes) that would force us to drive less & use less energy. Again, sounds noble except when Al Roker interviewed Al Gore this morning on The Weather Channel, did Mr. Roker ask Mr. Gore how would these new taxes affect our economy? How would these new taxes create new jobs? Worse yet, do some looking and who do you find profiting from these new carbon trading exchanges? Yep, old Al Gore. These guys need to do some reading from Dr. Bjorn Lomborg (COOL IT, NOT SO HOT) who, like I believe the Earth has been warming, but know all the billions that would be funneled into cutting CO2 would be far better spent feeding the Planet. Hey Al, do you really think the guy who is trying to feed his family & has been out of work for 2-3 years really cares about their carbon footprint? Your focus should be on JOBS. Not on try to stop Climate Change. Your plans would hurt the poorest of the poor, but that is never brought up. Our Climate has ALWAYS been changing. It's called CYCLES and if we try to stop the current warming cycle and cool the Planet, the results could be far worse. Shame on those who try to connect Hurricane Sandy with Global Warming. Sandy would have been a non-event except a digging upper trough turned her back to the coast. Had nothing to do with climate but with the weather pattern at that time. It bothers me that the leader of a scientific movement is a politician and IF you have the facts on your side, you wouldn't or shouldn't need to hire muliple PR firms to spread the "truth". Does that bother you too?
Locally, no major changes are expected thru Sunday. Comfy cool nights and pleasant afternoons.

Yes, it bothers me, too.
I wonder why our Government is so quick to say we have to reduce or carbon emmissions but never says maybe we ought to reduce our debt and spending...
And with taxes...the Gov't will never tax this country into prosperity....
So in this holiday spirit...Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow..
