Al Gore slammed Bush’s inaction on global warming today in a bitterly cold New York City. While the chilly air was filled with irony, Gore pulled out such classics as:

I don’t think there is any longer a credible basis for doubting that the earth’s atmosphere is heating up because of global warming

and this little doozy:

Yet in spite of the clear evidence available all around us, there are many who still do not believe that Global Warming is a problem at all. And it’s no wonder: because they are the targets of a massive and well-organized campaign of disinformation lavishly funded by polluters who are determined to prevent any action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, out of a fear that their profits might be affected if they had to stop dumping so much pollution into the atmosphere.

and on those nasty right-wingers:

And wealthy right-wing ideologues have joined with the most cynical and irresponsible companies in the oil, coal and mining industries to contribute large sums of money to finance pseudo-scientific front groups that specialize in sowing confusion in the public’s mind about global warming. They issue one misleading “report” after another, pretending that there is significant disagreement in the legitimate scientific community in areas where there is actually a broad-based consensus.

But, unfortunately for NYC, Gore’s hot air didn’t raise the mercury one iota.

If you wish, you can read the entire speech here.

After years and years of Liberal fence sitting and indecisiveness, the Harper government has shown the world we have balls again by voting for Israel and against Hamas. A lone state amongst thirty three terrorist-loving ones and eleven European weenies, Canada stated to the world we are against terrorism and respect the right of Israel to defend its land and people.

Bravo Mr. Harper!

Thank you for standing up for what’s good and not for what’s popular.
