Has Al Gore forgotten to take his Meds?

Proved: There is no climate crisis
WASHINGTON (7-15-08) - Mathematical proof that there is no “climate crisis” appears today in a major, peer-reviewed paper in Physics and Society, a learned journal of the 10,000-strong American Physical Society, SPPI reports.
Christopher Monckton, who once advised Margaret Thatcher, demonstrates via 30 equations that computer models used by the UN’s climate panel (IPCC) were pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is “climate sensitivity” (temperature increase in response to greenhouse-gas increase), resulting in a 500-2000% overstatement of CO2’s effect on temperature in the IPCC’s latest climate assessment report, published in 2007.
Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered [http://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/200807/index.cfm] demonstrates that later this century a doubling of the concentration of CO2 compared with pre-industrial levels will increase global mean surface temperature not by the 6 °F predicted by the IPCC but, harmlessly, by little more than 1 °F. Lord Monckton concludes –
-
“… Perhaps real-world climate sensitivity is very much below the IPCC’s estimates. Perhaps, therefore, there is no ‘climate crisis’ at all. … The correct policy approach to a non-problem is to have the courage to do nothing.”
Will Media Report Gore’s Stake in Electricity Conversion?
As my fellow NewsBuster Amy Ridenour accurately reported, global warming obsessed media are predictably gushing over Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s call for America to completely convert all of its electricity production to solar, wind, and other renewable sources by 2018 (photo courtesy AFP).
As they gush, fawn, and genuflect, will press members dare to point out that Gore is heavily invested in companies which manufacture that which he’s recommending America convert to?
After all, as NewsBusters reported on April 11, Gore admitted his financial stake in such things to an audience in Monterey, California, back in March (video available here, relevant section begins at minute 15:00):
There are a lot of great investments you can make. If you are investing in tar sands, or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub-prime carbon assets. And it is based on an old model. Junkies find veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and their legs collapse. Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense. I have a stake in these so I’ll have a disclaimer there. But geo-thermal concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency, and conservation.
As Gore spoke these words, pictures of electric cars, windmills and solar panels appeared in multiple slides on the screen with company names at the bottom such as Amyris (biofuels), Altra (biofuels), Bloom Energy (solid oxide fuel cells), Mascoma (cellulosic biofuels), GreatPoint Energy (catalytic gasification), Miasole (solar cells), Ausra (utility scale solar panels), GEM (battery operated cars), Smart (electric cars), and AltaRock Energy (geothermal power).
Now, seven months later, he’s proposing:

SideBear by Jim Mc: Why are Republicans, even card-carrying weenies like Voinovich, so polite [read: stupid, cowardly] Saying that this pathological misfit Gore’s proposals are “ridiculous”, is equal to calling their “distinguished colleagues”, Pelosi and Reid: “misguided”.
Anyway a svelte Fatuous Albert was given some time outside his padded cell yesterday.
It seemed that even in confinement he’d heard the footsteps of ol’ T. Boone Pickens who’s been running commercials touting windmills, as way to free-up natural-gas which in-turn, would power cars.
Of course, none of the capacity to produce the hardware needed, nor the very expensive infra-structure exists for any of Gore’s delusion. Just as “the greens” cheered their demented guru Albie’s silly proposals, so their allies will launch huge legal campaigns to block the creation of any such an infra-structure.
To establish it would be a long, impossible task. Remember the attempt to put windmills in that slob Kennedy’s back yard, or bay yard?
None of this reality matters to them. It’s all about the talk, the proposals, their vision, and our indifference to their planet.
Shakespeare must have had a “vision” of Albert Gore, when he wrote, “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Indeed. What the Bard couldn’t foretell though, was that a blessed nation could be so crammed with mindless disciples of such an “idiot”.
Windmills are at best then an inefficient niche technique for power generation. In a country which has America’s energy needs and its available resources, wind-power is little more than a diversion. Wind has no practical role in reliable, high-capacity power generation, nor should it be considered.
Here is a small piece explaining the short-comings of wind. Yes, I know Albie has made a very nice living from “wind”, but we’re not talking about flatulence here.
