Al Gore Takes a Pass on Earth Hour
By Bob Ellis on March 30th, 2009

The earth-worshippers and Apostles of the Religion of Global Warming held a
revival Saturday night called " Earth Hour" where everyone was supposed to
turn off their lights to save our planet from erupting into a ball of fire.

Not everyone participated, though. I heard that some folks were going to
turn on every light they had, as a counter-protest to this nutty idea of
anthropogenic global warming. I briefly considered doing that, but in the
end, I just couldn't be bothered to do anything other than simply live my
life as I normally choose-as a free American should.

But I also hear that Al Gore, the High Priest of the Religion of Global
Warming, didn't participate.

According to the Nashville Post and WorldNetDaily:

Drew Johnson, the president of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research,
decided to drive by Gore's mansion in Nashville at 8:48 p.m. and records
that floodlights were on illuminating the driveway leading up to the main
quarter.

"I pulled up to Al's house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of
Nashville, at 8:48 p.m. - right in the middle of Earth Hour," he wrote on
his blog. "I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his
9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the
house were on."

He added: "The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly
highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore's
mansion. I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn't
be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees."

The belief in anthropogenic global warming is a religion because frankly, it
requires more faith to believe in that nonsense than it requires to believe
in most religions.

From the climate data going back thousands of years showing cyclic
temperature changes, from the records showing the Vikings once growing
vineyards in Greenland that is now covered in ice, from the unreliable
temperature data, from the natural sources of greenhouse gasses, from the
global warming happening on other planets such as Mars and Jupiter, from the
solar activity at record levels, from the total lack of consensus
demonstrated by tens of thousands of scientists who just aren't buying it,
with the dwindling numbers of people drinking the Kool-aid and global
warming coming in dead-last in a 20-issue list of concerns.the theory of
anthropogenic global warming is on thin ice.

One might even surmise that, since Al Gore doesn't take it seriously enough
to go dark during Earth Hour himself, maybe he's a false prophet. Maybe he
doesn't really believe this hooey either.
