What a hoot!
Part 2:
And the finale:
Those bad winters seem like the current one. Oh, oh!
Dr. Stephen Schneider, who appears at the end of the video to worry that the cure for the ice age might be worse than the disease, is now a global warming alarmist. Ha!

Is Leonard Nimoy a climate scientist? Who know knew?!
lol – you Deniers get more desperate with every passing day.

Jack: Again, get a sense of humor. Today, the same program would be done about the horrors of the coming warming. What is LOL time is that one of your biggest global warming scientists is discussing seriously what to do about the threatened ice age. And, by the way, it shows his obsession with how climate will cause societal disruption. You hysterics get more desperate with every passing day.

If Leornard Nimoy said it, it must be true, cause he’s, like, Spock, right?
January 7th, 2010 | 1:15 pm
Nimoy has nothing to do with it – anymore than Bigfoot or UFO’s – it was a paid gig for him.
The main thing is as Wesley point out, the mindset and obsession of the climate crazies.

Yes, Leonard Nimoy, the expert, the scientist.
Almost as funny as a hack-intellctual, lawyer struggling with basic science principles. Wait a minute…
Hey Smith, can you explain to me how CO2 doesn’t absorb IR? Or how it doesn’t acidify the oceans? Or how hydrocarbon combustion doesn’t produce CO2?
Maybe after that, you can explain to me how a blastocyte, with no brain stem, has consciousness.
And after that you can explain how ID-creationism is science.
Or, you can ask Spock.

Again, David. Get a sense of humor and note how your team, Dr. Schneider–he who also apparently can’t answer tough questions so that a reporter’s mic was turned off–whipsaws from crisis to crisis. As for ID, it isn’t creationism, but it isn’t what I do. I suggest you debate Steven Meyer and read his book Signature in the Cell, rather than believe the caricature of what my colleagues involved in that issue are really exploring. Calling people “creationists” may make you feel like they need not be listened to, but as in the global warming issue, the people see it differently. So please, continue your smug imperiousness. It hurts your cause.

My favorite of in that series was “Leonard Nimoy: In Search of Francis the Talking Mule.” (“What strange powers did this mysterious creature posses? How did he exert his sinister influence on those around him? And to what sinister ends? Where did he come from? Was he the product of a secret government laboratory, or was he a visitor from a distant galaxy, studying our race through his cold alien eyes? Tonight we uncover the terrible truth about this enigmatic entity.”)

You have to be pretty entrenched in grim smugness not to see the humor here (Jack and David fit the bill). As has already been pointed out, Gore is no more of a climate scientist than Nimoy, and watching this ought to give anyone (anyone, that is, not frozen into ideological winter) pause, as so many of the statements are virtually the same as ones we hear now–just subsitite cold for hot, and it’s the same. It makes me wonder why we’re all so obsessed with the weather and the disaster scenario du jour, and to reflect that it’s funny how like religious fundamentalists true believers in global warming are.

David: “Maybe after that, you can explain to me how a blastocyte, with no brain stem, has consciousness.”
David, you’re out of your league there. The embryonic human being is one whether she possesses consciousness or not — so say embryologists. Try not to bite off more than you can chew with your angry spray, David.

I have interviewed Dr. Smith on the Catholic radio station that serves western MN and eastern ND, numerous times. A sane voice (there are many others as well) among frauds who portray themselves, and who view themselves as “saviors” of the planet. Hiring Mr.
Pointy Ears” to voice over this pile of garbage is just one more example of the desperate, dishonest disaster that Mr. Gore has suddenly lost his voice for. Or has he? Look for a possible boat-load of refined crap in the near future to try and save what was once such a promising and profitable shell game!

Hey, whatever Spock says must be true!
