A Big, Fat “Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose”

President-elect Donald Trump conducted interviews in Manhattan’s Trump Tower Monday which included a long talk with Al Gore.  He wanted to thank the blubbery climate change activist for inventing the Internet.

After the meeting Gore told the assembled press poodles, “I had a lengthy and very productive session with the president-elect.  It was a sincere search for areas of common ground. I had a meeting beforehand with Ivanka Trump. The bulk of the time was with the president-elect, Donald Trump. I found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued, and I’m just going to leave it at that.”

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

Did anyone happen to notice if there was a “KICK ME” sign stuck to ManBearPig’s back when he left Trump Tower?

Via The New York Times—President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Scott Pruitt, the Oklahoma attorney general and a close ally of the fossil fuel industry, to run the Environmental Protection Agency, signaling Mr. Trump’s determination to dismantle President Obama’s efforts to counter climate change—and much of the EPA itself.

Mr. Pruitt, a Republican, has been a key architect of the legal battle against Mr. Obama’s climate change policies, actions that fit with the president-elect’s comments during the campaign. Mr. Trump has criticized the established science of human-caused global warming as a hoax, vowed to “cancel” the Paris accord committing nearly every nation to taking action to fight climate change, and attacked Mr. Obama’s signature global warming policy, the Clean Power Plan, as a “war on coal.”

Thanks for stopping by Al.

ManBearPig And The 10-Year Countdown To A Planetary Emergency

PARIS—Following the opulent climate change conference (COP21), Al Gore AKA ManBearPig issued the following statement:

“Today, the nations of the world concluded a bold and historic agreement, clearly demonstrating that the global community is speaking with one voice to solve the climate crisis. Years from now, our grandchildren will reflect on humanity’s moral courage to solve the climate crisis and they will look to December 12, 2015, as the day when the community of nations finally made the decision to act.”

Man-made climate change—most especially the notion that global temperatures can be turned on and off by tiny alterations in the quantities of the trace gas carbon dioxide—is nothing more than a green fantasy being used as an excuse for a money making scam by corporate shysters, a wealth redistribution scheme by the Third World, and as a power grab by one world government freaks.

“Global warming” and the subsequent term “climate change” our betters on the Left now insist we use to refer to the weather is one of the most egregious political and scientific hoaxes in history.  Judith Curry, former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology lost her faith in the alarmist establishment when they were caught red-handed conspiring to withhold scientific information from their peers in what would come to be called the Climategate email scandal.

Sallie Baliunas, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, was savagely disparaged by her peers for questioning so-called “consensus” climate science.

Caleb Rossiter, a left-leaning statistician at American University, spoke out against the alarmists when he discovered that their statistics were junk and that the measures being introduced to “combat” climate change were harming the world’s poorest.  His fellowship at the US Institute for Policy Studies was subsequently terminated.

“In a time of universal deceit, truth-telling is a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell

Now, before you zone out and your eyes glaze over, just know that the point of this story is to warn you, via Anthony Watts at WattsUpWithThat?, that ManBearPig’s clarion call that we were all going to be roasted alive in his proclamation 10 years ago isn’t going to happen.

So climate change deniers take heart.  As Anthony cleverly quips, “Gaia seems to be a ‘Gore denier’. How inconvenient.”

Increasingly Influential Network Says Buh-Bye To Butthurt Bathtub Boy

From the New York Times we learn this shocking news: 

For nearly a year now, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have been building their liberal cable news channel, Current TV, with the mercurial television anchorman Keith Olbermann at its center.

          This week, the center collapsed.

Current said on Friday afternoon that it had fired Mr. Olbermann—one of the nation’s most prominent progressive speakers—just a year into his five-year, $50 million contract. It was the culmination of months of murky disputes between Mr. Olbermann and the channel that he was supposed to save from the throes of ratings oblivion.

Business Insider reveals that a source familiar with the situation said Current decided to let Bathtub Boy go because he “did not respect the viewers of Current.”

The source added that Olbermann failed to show up for work without authorization, missing almost half of his working days in the months of January and February. Olbermann asked for a vacation day on March 5, the night before Super Tuesday, according to the source. He was told it would be a breach if he took the vacation, which Olbermann did.

Politico's Keach Hagey tweets that a source familiar with the firing says Olbermann was let go "for failing to show up to work, 'sabotaging the network' and attacking Current execs."

Having bungled his gigs at ESPN, MSNBC and now Current, it is painfully evident that Bathtub Boy is incapable of peacefully co-exiting with any media outlet. 

What lies ahead for poor Keef?  There’s OWN and Media Matters.  I think Media Matters would be the perfect place for him to land.  Meanwhile, all three two of his loyal viewers are gnashing their teeth and running around with their hair on fire.

Good luck suing ManBearPig.
