Gore’s Offsets

gore-fatAfter seeing pictures and interviews after Al Gore received his academy award, I couldn’t help but notice that the champion of the Greenbats has gained considerable weight. As a proponent of the health of the globe, Mr. Gore should realize the risks of being overweight, especially as a senior citizen. Perhaps he can buy some CALORIE OFFSETS that will work as effectively as purchasing carbon offsets.

A Knockout for Winter

This got me chuckling, so I thought I would post it here. I really liked the rant that went with it and the little image of ALGOR (a.k.a. OZONE) fretting over his champ having been K.O.’d.

From Sam Ryskind’s cartoon site, Fresh Meat: NOAA and NASA Want Antarctica To Melt

knockout.jpgYou don’t hear much about the ozone hole any more. Has it gone away? Nope. NOAA and NASA say in 2006 it was bigger and deeper than ever.

But wait, you say, we implemented the Montreal Protocols in 1989, eliminating ozone depleting CFCs. Kofi Annan called the Protocol, “Perhaps the most successful international agreement to date.” CFC concentrations have been falling since 1995. How can the ozone hole be worse?

It’s not worse, says NOAA, it’s better. It’s just that you can’t see how great the Protocol is working because colder than average temperatures in the Antarctic mask the benefit. Cold weather result[s] in larger and deeper ozone holes, while warmer weather leads to smaller ones.

Colder in Antarctica? Al Gore told me it was melting! Al Gore told me there was consensus. Consensus!

Moonbat Miranda

moonbat.jpgThe next time you encounter an individual bent upon believing the unbelievable, recite the following Miranda rights for Moonbats:

  • You have the right to remain stupid.
  • Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion.
  • You have the right to become informed rather than believing false conclusions.
  • If you cannot or will not become informed, nothing can be done for you.
  • Do you understand these rights?
  • Do you wish to become informed?

If, at the conclusion of the Moonbat Miranda, they do not wish to become informed, there is no need to cuff and transport them — they will usually remain arrested by their own stupidity.
