Nursing homes? People have been brought up on charges for cruelty to nursing home residents. Methinks it's a plot. Those poor older folks will die laughing if they're not scared to death. Is this another one of Gore's solutions for ridding the planet of excess carbon emissions? Think about it.

 Slide shows for schools-wow more indoctrination by the left.

This is a logical progression from Gore's earlier indoctrination attempts, such as providing free DVDs of his "An Inconvenient Truth" to public schools (In the UK, the governing school body directed that all elementary school students view it --- a directive that is being challenged by some brave British parents.)

The best weapon to use against Gore's eco-jesuits is facts.  Wherever they emerge --- town halls, nursing homes, public schools, houses of worship, shopping malls --- challenge them with the facts; Lindzen, Ball, and Lomborg are good sources.  If these messengers from Gore-Hell are anything like Gore himself, they'll melt under the challenge.

I getting really tired of being preached to by these people, especially when I keep my two story home at 64 degrees in the winter and drive a Toyota RAV4. When is Gore going to preach to the Airline Industry or the Trucking Indistry. His Global Warming campaign is text book fear tactics geared towards the citizens of this country, yet the problem is industry in this country.

I think all these Global Warming preachers are worried that if they rally against the airline industry, they won't get flown all over the planet to preach their paid for messages. If they rally against the trucking industry, they won't get their musical equipment, lights and roadies driven all over the country so they can preach through their musical concerts. (Does a colored spotlight leave less of a carbon footprint than my offices' incandescent? I don't think so Cheryl Crow!)

When will someone step up and speak about ideas and hope rather than blame and fear?

I'll start....

How about we offer $.01 for every plastic shopping bag returned to a store, in the same vein as recycled cans? You pay the charge in the exact same way too, you pay for it when items are purchased and they get a refund when you return them later on.

I'm sure if $.01 was offered, there would be less of them flying around as trash and getting stuck in trees! (although there will be less "Beautiful" moments caught on video)

How come with all recent complaints about these plastic bags (San Fran/Glenn Beck) no one has come up with this idea yet?

I'm sure Algore has a plan to distribute this globally via the same type of means after he sees how this does.

Only problem is, people do have some brains and can look outside and see what the weather is, like today...snowing like heck in Colorado...hehehee..they can spin things anyway they want...the weather outside are just the facts, simple as that.

You can only fool some of the people some of the time.

They were probably trained to perform the "Delphi Technique" aka the "Alinsky Method".  This is from and article, "The Delphi Technique: How To Achieve A Workable Consensus Within Time Limits - by Lynn Stuter""

"...The Delphi Technique ... In Educating for the New World Order by Bev Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is "Lay, or community, participation in the decision­making process), while in fact lay citizens are being squeezed out."

A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the "Alinsky Method" (ibid., p. 123). The setting or group is, however, immaterial the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics). This allows for a special application of a basic technique. The "change agent" or "facilitator" goes through the motions of acting as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question. The facilitator listens attentively, forms "task forces," "urges everyone to make lists," and so on. While she is doing this, the facilitator learns something about each member of the target group. He/she identifies the "leaders," the "loud mouths," as well as those who frequently turn sides during the argument ­ the "weak or non­committal."

Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes "devil's advocate." He/she dons his professional agitator hat. Using the "divide and conquer" technique, he/she manipulates one group opinion against the other. This is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear "ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic." He/she wants certain members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate. The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation. S/He is able to predict the reactions of each group member. Individuals in opposition to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.

The method works. It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group. The "targets" rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated. If they do suspect this is happening, they do not know how to end the process. The desired result is for group polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of the group and group process. He/she will then throw the desired idea on the table and ask for opinions during discussion. Very soon his/her associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition.

This technique is a very unethical method of achieving consensus on a controversial topic in group settings. It requires well­trained professionals who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against the other, so as to make one viewpoint appear ridiculous so the other becomes "sensible" whether such is warranted or not..."

This kind of thing is right out of the '60s Cultural Marxist handbook.  So Noel is right to warn us to beware, as the bloodthirsty Marxists are on the prowl.  The "Sheryl Crow toilet paper" crap, Harry Reid's traitorous remarks, virtually all of the craziness (not coming from the Muslims) that we see every day is also right from the '60s era (by that I mean roughly '64 to '74).  Remember those whacko leftist nutjobs who wanted to bring down 'the Establishment'; now they are 'the Establishment'.  

Noel, I dont want to be a pain, but could you rephrase the "Soon to be Dr..." to "Needs a Dr. soon..." Al Gore?

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

I'm not worried yet, Al Gore just wants to bankrupt the country while seeking an unobtainable goal. If Gore gets school kids chanting and hands out AK47s at recess then I'll be worried.

Let me see if understand this correctly, we are not allowed to have prayer in public schools but at the same time a representative of Al Gore can preach the evils of global warming, a debate that is still ongoing?  If this ever happens at my daughter's school, I'm taking them to court and to the Supreme Court if I have to.

Dose Al Bore think he and his minions can stop Continental Drift?  The Planet from wobbling on its axis?  The Sun’s warming cycles?

All Rational people understand the planet goes through warming and cooling cycles…..so why all the fuss now?

Oh I know….Democrats can’t get elected unless they get the “little” people all whipped up with fear.  This will be a big part of the next Presidential election debate….they could not win with the anti war vote alone last time……

Any real self respecting journalist could ripe this nonsense to shreds……where are they????
