Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Algore, the environment guru, has a big house, flies in big planes and now... captains a big boat.

"There is no question that the alarmism and doomsday scenarios spread by Al Gore have been very, very beneficial to him personally and professionally.

But the question persists as to whether he actually buys into what he is selling. His own behavior clearly indicates that he doesn’t believe we are at a “tipping point” of worldwide environmental destruction. While he preaches that the rest of us must dramatically change our lifestyles and lower our standards of living to “save the planet” he lives by another set of rules himself."

Personally, I couldn't care less about what Al Gore does. The points he raises are still valid and needed points for wide discussion.

I do admit that his personal choices do make it easier for shameless detractors to attack his arguments though, and that's a shame.

Gore talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Our city is about to be sacrificed to the CO2 peddlers / meddlers.

You can't smell CO2 but you sure can smell corruption.

I'd rather have a horizon full of wind tunbines any day than the old coal fired power plant we have here.

Horizon, maybe, but forty story turbines as litle as 400 metres from homes is Stalinesque. Here is the wind output from the wind farm nearby - which only 6 people objected to by the way,

That intermittancy can only be covered by thermal generation which needs to be on hot standby. The solution is obvious - use less electricity in the first place - fat chance though, has anyone ever campaigned for austerity and won?

I was going to install a few CFLs, but Al Gore's yacht just wiped out all the potential savings, so why should I bother?
