This is way too funny, folks, and requires all potables, combustibles, and sharp objects to be properly stowed.
There was a meeting of Al Gore sycophants in Marin, California, on Wednesday. And, rather than liberal, Northern California attendees coming on environmentally-friendly bicycles, by horseback, or in hybrid vehicles, the parking lot at the Marin Civic Center was filled with gas-guzzling SUVs, trucks, and minivans.
Was this just another example of the party to the left living the “Do as I Say, Not as I Do” good life?
Well, judge for yourself based on the following pictures courtesy of zombietime (h/t LGF):
Of course, this one was my favorite – a picture of a truck with a “Start Global Cooling” bumper sticker:
Aren’t these people great?
Lest we not forget what many of these folks really advocate as we take a gander at their Che Guevara handbags:
Wouldn't it be great if when the media covered events like this, they went into the parking lots to show the hypocrisy? Or, would that be too much like journalism?
Regardless, Run, Al, Run!

May 25, 2007 - 09:33 ET by RJFeeling good about themselves is the true goal of the warmists, Noel. It's something they've been taught in our indoctrination, er, "education" system.
Shame on you for trying to take that away from them.

May 25, 2007 - 15:08 ET by Tom1969caAs the great Maha Rushie used to say, liberalism is all about symbolism over substance. Just as little red ribbons are the cure for AIDS, so too is attending an alGore event a solution to global warming.
They can drive their SUVs back to their 5,000 square-foot California estates, content in knowing that - simply by showing up - they've done their part for the planet...

And never grew up. They are talking about the last time they were in that spot, sleeping outdoors and droping acid. Ahhhh! Those were the days...

May 25, 2007 - 09:38 ET by Mike BrattonI couldn't help but notice that Mr. Che Backpack is a big fan of the Aloha State. Oh, to have been able to ask Mr. Backpack how he travels (or would plan to travel, if he's never been) to Hawaii--by sailboat, perhaps? Outrigger? Pedal-powered paddleboat? Or by carbon-belching jet, or by sea-spoiling cruise ship?
And why didn't someone stick around to ask Mr. (or Ms.) Global Cooling why there's a "Start Seeing Bicycles" bumper sticker (among other bicycle-advocacy stickers) on the back of his (or her) pickup truck?

Let's also not forget that
May 25, 2007 - 09:57 ET by Dave in TexasLet's also not forget that many of these people came with their copies of "Assault on Reason" for Al to sign. Don't they realize that purchasing books causes trees to be destroyed? And don't even get me started about the greenhouse gases that spewed during the production and distribution of books.
And what about all those people passing out buttons and pamphlets urging Al to run for president. Is that really a good use of our precious resources?

Noel-Wouldn't it be even more
May 25, 2007 - 10:35 ET by CaringwhiteguyNoel-Wouldn't it be even more fun if SF/Marin media outlets would track these SUV owners down at their homes (using DMV records) and do some ambush interviews? We'd get a look at the size of the homes and sense of the utility consumption, and we'd get to hear directly from the SUV owners as to why it's OK for them to have gas guzzlers, but it's the wrong thing for the poor unwashed masses. Golly . . . maybe some of the SF/Marin media actually had their own vehicles in the parking lot?? It's too much to ask for, but it surely would be fun.

May 25, 2007 - 10:50 ET by GalvanicTerrific article, Noel! You are spot on! This is a classic example of elitists who just don't get the message they're peddling. Going 'green' and sporting Che is chic; they don't see the hypocrisy.
Neither does Gore, for that matter.
Question for Prince Albert: Since you are the self-proclaimed Father of the Internet, and cutting down CO2-converting trees to make paper for books merely contributes to the coming GW catastrophe, why on Earth didn't you merely post your new book -- "The Assault on Reason" --- on the Internet for all to read, while saving those trees?
I think we know the answer, and it has nothing to do with Reason.

It's great. True story: a few weeks after 9/11, I was at a concert in San Francisco. It was at the Warfield, which is on Market Street. To get there, my friend and I had to walk through a peace rally.
Anyway, after the concert, as we were walking back to our car, the rally was breaking up, and protesters with "No Blood For Oil" signs were all getting into their SUVs, trucks, and minivans. I kid you not. ns

May 25, 2007 - 15:32 ET by danboThe Hummer passed me on I-10 in Alabama just W of the florida/Bama line. Texas plates. Heading back to Texas after an apparent weekend on the panhandle. Lecturing the world about evil oil. Driving the primo uno gas hog. Burning all that gas (over 500 miles one way) to soak some rays.

May 25, 2007 - 21:12 ET by UnsaneAnd he's lecturing the world on evil oil, coming from a state whose economy is (though now much diversified) powered greatly by the oil industry.
The number of people who want to cut their own throats with glee will never cease to amaze me.
It is much like an experience I heard from a friend of mine, minding her own business in downtown Anchorage, when she was accosted by some anti-Hyper Evil Big Oil yahoo. After he was done with his rant, she asked if he accepted the Permanent Fund Dividend checks, which he said he did. She then walked off, telling him she didn't want to hear anything more from him on that subject.

How much [are] natural components [involved] in natural climate change? My point, my position is, that until we identify natural components, and subtract that from present temperature rise, for example, we cannot tell very much, how much the man-made effects will be.
