GORE: CIGARETTE SMOKING 'SIGNIFICANT' CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL WARMING... DEVELOPING...
Poster Comment:
What about smoking dope Mr. Gore? You been smoking a little wacky tobacky?
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"
Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."
Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea.
"The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said. After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore.
Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.
"That place, Iraq, is acting like flypaper, exactly as it was thought it would -- and these people, we're being told are on the verge of winning back the House and winning back the Senate and they're going to take the White House, and when they do, they're going to get out. They're going to cut-and-run and they're going to give these people the biggest victory they've had yet -- and if we pull out, and if they win, and we pull out, they're going to follow us! They're going to try to get on board the military transports and hijack them on the way home. They are going to be more emboldened than they already are."
Thank God you and yer ilk keep gettin' yer arses whupped in elections...MUD
