BloggeRhythms

Not very much new in the news at all. However, for some reason or other, Drudge posted a story by Brian Burnes in the The Kansas City Star about AlGore.
 
On Saturday the former vice president spoke in Kansas City, citing why in his view, many more recent examples show how heavy use of fossil fuels is contributing to extreme weather events and trends.
 
Now, ordinarily, I’d perhaps have scanned the article and forgotten about it immediately as just another hustle for bucks by the con man. But the details got my attention, as follows:
 
According to Mr. Burnes, “Gore filled a Westin Crown Center ballroom with a 90-minute presentation, using photos and videos to illustrate a litany of floods, wildfires, torrential rains, droughts, dust storms, rising sea levels and increasing world temperatures.”
 
So, what that means is, aside from rising temperatures (which by the way, hasn’t happened for the past seventeen years according to RSS, Remote Sensing Systems,) according to Gore, fossil fuels are responsible for temperature warming and cooling, droughts, floods, dust storms, wild fires and torrential rains. In other words, whatever the weather does, good, bad or indifferent, fossil fuels are the cause. And that’s a pretty good position to take because, no matter what happens weather-wise, Gore can’t lose.
 
He then cited “the possibility of how flooding in Pakistan could destabilize that country, a nuclear power, and the possible effect that continuing drought in California might have on the world’s food supply.
 
Think about that,” he said. “The Dust Bowl is coming back, quickly, unless we act.”
 
I then read the comments following the article, one of which was from Phil Parker, Morning Show Host, KFYR Radio at KFYR Radio who wrote, “Given Al Gore's record for predictions, if I were in Kansas, I think I'd start building an ark,” which sums it up perfectly.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
