Today more people than ever are talking about how we can save the environment. Well, if you want to save the environment here is one good first step - get Al Gore the heck away from it. The truth is that carbon dioxide is one of the basic building blocks of life on planet earth, and Al Gore's crusade to dramatically reduce carbon dioxide levels around the globe is not only foolish, it threatens to absolutely destroy the very environment that he claims that he is trying to save.
In his new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, Al Gore stresses the "spiritual side" of preventing climate change and make this stunning admission: "Simply laying out the facts won't work."
Now why in the world would Al Gore say something like that?
Could it be that he is starting to realize that the facts are not on his side?
In fact, it is being reported that Al Gore is now saying that carbon dioxide is not the primary cause of "global warming".
But that isn't stopping the "eco-prophet" from continuing his reckless crusade against carbon dioxide. Gore continues to tirelessly advocate a "cap and trade" carbon credit trading scheme which could allow him to reap billions of dollars in profits if it is ultimately implemented.
Apparently what is good for the environment is very good for Al Gore's wallet too.
But that is not what this article is about.
What this article is about is showing how Al Gore's environmental policies would be an absolute disaster for the environment.
Firstly, let us examine the absolutely ridiculous claims that man-made carbon emissions are causing global warming. The reality is that any global warming that was going on was caused by the sun.
You see, a few years ago when the sun was experiencing record sunspot activity, our entire solar system experienced a period of "global warming". It was not just the earth. Every single planet circling the sun experienced a warming period.
Now that our sun has entered into a period of very low sunspot activity, our planet and the rest of our solar system is experiencing a period of "global cooling".
And yet carbon dioxide levels on earth continue to increase. If the rising carbon dioxide levels were causing global warming then the earth should still be warming.
But it isn't.
The truth, as you will clearly see in the outstanding video below, is that rising carbon dioxide levels follow a rise in earth temperatures. Carbon dioxide does not cause global warming. It never has and it never will. Instead, scientists have now been able to show that when there is higher sunspot activity temperatures on earth rise, and when there is low sunspot activity temperatures on earth fall. The following video absolutely tears apart Al Gore's theories from "An Inconvenient Truth" and it shows what the primary cause of climate change actually is.....
But does it matter if Al Gore's theories are nonsense?
Perhaps his ideas will not save the environment - does that mean that Al Gore is harming the environment?
Unfortunately the answer to that question is yes.
Al Gore, in his reckless crusade to help the environment, is determined to reduce levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by as much as possible.
But there is a problem.
Plants need carbon dioxide to live. It is one of the key building blocks of life on earth.
In fact, natural sources produce far, far, far more carbon dioxide than humans do. Wikipedia puts it this way.....
Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth.
Have you got that?
Over 95 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions would still occur even if you took the entire human race off the earth.
So even if carbon dioxide was causing global warming (which it certainly does not), the truth is that if all human carbon dioxide emissions went to zero, over 95 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions would still be occurring.
So to reduce worldwide carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent or more, Al Gore and his fellow global warming cultists will NOT be able to do that by reducing carbon dioxide emissions caused by man.
Instead they will have to attack all life on earth.
In other words, Al Gore and his followers would have to brutally attack the earth's environment in order to get the kind of carbon emissions that they are after.
In fact, any reductions in carbon dioxide will seriously affect life. Less carbon dioxide emissions would mean less carbon dioxide for plant life. That means that crops would suffer. Less crops and less plant life would mean that there would be less food for men and animals. In a world that is already teetering on the verge of a major food crisis, any drop in the world food supply would be an absolute disaster.
The truth is that Al Gore absolutely does NOT know what he is talking about when it comes to the environment. He is simply a con man and a greedy investor who is looking forward to making a lot of money.
But if Al Gore's vision of a world with dramatically reduced levels of carbon dioxide comes to pass, the reality is that life on earth will greatly suffer. Starvation would be rampant. In fact, if carbon dioxide levels were reduced far enough, it just might be your own family that starves.
For those who do truly care about saving the environment, there is one thing that you need to know what it comes to Al Gore.....
Al Gore must be stopped. For the sake of life on earth, Al Gore must be stopped.

This argument that reducing carbon threatens the environment is quite clever and actually funny, but of course, it is nonsense.
Also nonsense is the statement that “a few years ago when the sun was experiencing record sunspot activity, our entire solar system experienced a period of global warming”. Despite bogus graphs and number juggling by skeptics, sunspot cycles do not correlate well with climate.
The record sunspot activity occurred during the peak of sunspot cycle 19, from 1957-1959. This did not correlate with any warming; in fact average global temperature has risen since then. Those who claim that climate is cooling are cherry-picking the data. Cycle 19 was by far the largest sunspot cycle in recorded history,
Right now we are at a sunspot minimum, which is normal, although this one at the start of sunspot cycle 24 is longer than many people expected. But it does not correlate with any cooling trend. Also, if you look at the period before cycle 19, you will see a long and low minimum, so just because a minimum is longer than normal doesn’t mean that it doesn’t precede a big rise in sunspot numbers.
Recently, in fact, there has been quite a bit of sunspot activity, and statistically, based on past solar activity, we should see more and more sunspots as this cycle progresses. But it doesn’t affect climate.
I can’t blame the skeptics for being confused, because there is so much nonsense being promoted to spread doubt about the work of climatologists, and climatology is a very complex subject. Also, I WISH the climate change skeptics were right, because global warming will be a big, big problem.

Now I realize you may dismiss these out of hand, but I urge you to take a look, as I have.
Also, get this book which I just checked out from the library, which explains the movement that is confusing the public about climate science:
“Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming”
by James Hoggan with Richard Littlemore
Thanks!
Tad,
You talk about sunspot cycle 19 and sunspot cycle 24 and try to pick out 2 little spots from among all the data in which a slight tick in the graph doesn’t correlate 110% perfectly with how you say it should be, and then YOU and the global warming wackos push forward with your cult-like religion. How old are you anyway? If you were around in 1975, when I was graduating from high school, you might remember the terrible scare these same climate change fanatics were putting out then. Oh yes, the coming ice age! We were going to sprinkle coal dust on the polar ice caps to absorb the sun’s rays and heat the earth. Growing seasons were expected to shrink and half the World was going to starve because of global COOLING! Mirrors in orbit around the earth would focus the sun’s rays on the earth to save the planet! Al Gore is a total idiot, going back to the terrible environmental catastrophe he caused when he forced into law the mandated use of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as an oxegenating agent in gasoline. What an environmental catastrophe that was! That’s a whole other story I could write a book about! I wonder how many people will end up dead because of that stupidity on Al Gore’s part! I say we bring all the carbon fuel under the surface of the earth up on top and burn it for energy. Then, all that carbon will enter the carbon cycle and cause more rapid vegetation growth. Then we can cut down the plants and make fuel out of them. Burn carbon- grow carbon. That would be a sustainable source of energy that would last for thousands or even millions of years!
I don’t care about Gore or any politician. I don’t want to depend on them. if we depend on them too much and debate on what they did it will only make the situation worst. We should be starting on our own. Our home is the perfect place to start to save our environment.
In light of the past scares about a coming “ice age” (yes I remember them well!) and then the change to “warming”, now it is “climate change”. From the named lists of scientific supporters and the recent revelation about “doctored” data to support their cause, they have a specific agenda. Yes, climate does change, seasonally and over time, the planet has a natural history of heating up and cooling down that started way before mankind began the industrial age. This is a specific agenda founded in the likes of Margret Sanger, Adam Smith, The Rockefellers’, G. Soros, et al… to “reduce the population of humans.” This lie is counter productive to any true enlightenment and growth of humanity. The majority of the true scientist that study climate will tell you that mankind has NO impact on anything climate related. It is a naturally occurring process that has been shown to track with solar activity. I would throw a large party if somebody would put a gag in the elite mouths that think they are best positioned to rob us of our personal wealth and choices!!!
