			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1087" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1087" title="gore" src="http://www.thomaspeep.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gore.jpg" alt="Confessions of a dangerous mind" width="500" height="340" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Confessions of a dangerous mind</p></div>
<p>Yesterday, in a stunning reversal, Al Gore broke down in tears in front of a throng of reporters at Chicago&#8217;s World Green Day conference, admitting publicly for the first time that the theory of Global Warming, which the former Vice-President has touted for the better part of three decades, has been nothing more than &#8220;hot air&#8221;.  &#8221;The fear that I&#8217;ve been perpetuating a hoax has been growing inside me for some time. I finally had no alternative but to admit that my confidence in the global warming theory was melting away faster than the ice caps supposedly were. The mountain of evidence and hard scientific data has overwhelmingly persuaded me to reverse my previous position on Global Warming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gore went on to plead his case by presenting another powerpoint slideshow depicting what he described as  &#8220;irrefutable evidence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some highlights:</p>
<p>The Polar bears aren&#8217;t drowning. (the pictures of them clinging to icebergs for their lives, are actually the bears frolicking, as they have done for centuries)</p>
<p>CO2 is not responsible for climate change, i.e. it does not trap heat within the earth&#8217;s atmosphere. In fact, a proliferation of CO2 in the earth&#8217;s atmosphere, if true, would actually be beneficial to plant-life, as this is what they actually breathe&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Artic and Antarctic ice sheets are not melting.</p>
<p>The world&#8217;s oceans and seas, that are all interconnected, are not rising. (He admitted sheepishly that his six year old niece pointed out to him that it&#8217;s impossible for sea levels to rise in one place and not another) He added, &#8220;I&#8217;m quite sure the millions of people who live on the coast of America would have reported ever encroaching seas by now if this sad and disingenuous tale was true.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is no consensus amongst any scientists that the earth is heating up. The only consensus is that left-wing extremists agree that fear and hysteria is the best way to gain grant money from gullible governments.</p>
<p>The graph used in the documentary &#8220;An Inconvenient Truth&#8221; known as the &#8220;hockey stick&#8221; because of it&#8217;s dramatic up sweep in the last 20 years, was in fact doctored to suit his own scaremongering needs. The previous 200 million years, which show similar up-sweeps; peaks and valleys,  did not suit his hysterical viewpoint, so, he made a conscious decision to jettison this sound-science.</p>
<p>Carbon offsets are one of the saddest jokes ever perpetrated on the sheeple of this planet. (Almost as bad as the global dimming theory)</p>
<p>Carbon offsets do not work. (Planting trees to reduce CO2 emissions is likened to people drinking sea water to keep the world&#8217;s oceans down &#8212; as CO2 is only held by a tree for a certain time before being released back into the atmosphere)</p>
<p>Even if the world heated up by 5 degrees Celsius, the coldest parts of both poles are minus 30 degrees Celsius. Higher temperatures would result in more condensation at the equator,  which results in more snow over the polar caps at the coldest points and thicker ice sheets; this would, in effect trap more water as ice, not less, resulting in lower coast lines. (This has not happened, proof-positive that the world is not heating up)</p>
<p>The environmental movement, a once noble cause, has been hijacked by the loony left, homeless anti-capitalists like Ed Begley who use fear for political expediency, who stymie growth through the use of hysterical propaganda. They deliver the propaganda to a willing audience of conspiracy theorists, weak-minded individuals, and worse still,  starfuckers who are so awestruck by a cadre of environmentalist Hollywood elitists who, whilst being the most outspoken on environmental issues, end up,  more often than not, being the biggest hypocrites with their lavish lifestyles, private jets, energy-sucking 10-bedroom mansions, fleets of limousines, prestige cars and entourages of hangers-on that serve no real purpose to either them or humanity.</p>

<p><strong>The rise in temperature: </strong><strong>Is the Earth hotter now than it was 40 years ago?</strong></p>
<p>Gore saved his most elaborate explanation for the microscopic rise in urban temperatures that has been reported relentlessly in the mainstream-press.<br />
<script type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script>&#8220;When we talk about Earth&#8217;s temperature, we are really talking not about overall temperature but about our cities&#8217; temperatures, as that&#8217;s where the vast majority of people live. The fact is: cities are in fact hotter now than they were 40 years ago. This is true. The higher temperatures in recent decades is the direct result of &#8216;urban sprawl&#8217;.&#8221; Gore stated. &#8221;Take a city like Los Angeles which has urban sprawl in all directions, sprawl that has tripled and quadrupled over the past 50 years. The vast networks of roads, concrete, glass, steel, and other raw materials now covering this once arid landscape create the temperature rise. Simply put:  concrete, tar, metal, glass, steel, heat up far more during the day than fields, valleys, rivers, and forests, thus increasing temperature in the most densely populated cities. If temperatures were measured in the middle of nowhere there would be no significant increase.</p>
<p>If we were to return Los Angeles today to the rural landscape, as it was in say 1880, the temperature in the middle of the day would be 5-10 degrees lower than it is now. So, the bigger the urban sprawl, the higher the temperature. We have used these alarming statistics, that this city, or that city has posted the highest temperature, or the hottest month in the past 100 years to scare people and manipulate statistics to support our hysterical viewpoints.&#8221; Gore went on to say. &#8220;And for that, people of planet earth, I am truly sorry.&#8221;</p>
<div>
<dl id="attachment_416" style="float: right; text-align: center; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 3px 3px; -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 3px 3px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 3px 3px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 3px 3px; width: 160px; margin: 10px; border: 1px solid #dddddd;">
<dt><img style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none initial;" title="polar-bears" src="http://www.thomaspeep.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/polar-bears-150x150.jpg" alt="Polar bears: Doing fine, sunshine." width="150" height="150" /></dt>

</dl>
</div>
<p>Gore went on for two hours taking aim at myth after myth and shooting it down. All that was left after the marathon three-hour admission of guilt was a shadow of man who once came within a heartbeat of being President.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Al Gore fired back at the Thomas Peep website for their article covering the forum that the former vice-president had purportedly used to recant many of his global warming theories. Al Gore's phalanx of lawyers have threatened to sue the highly regarded publication over what he calls "a third-rate smear piece by a gutter journalist hell-bent on ridiculing his good name." Never one to back down from a fight, Thomas Peep challenged the vice president to sit down one on one to address the article and his "position" on the controversial subject of Global Warming. Al Gore accepted and yesterday met for a no holds barred discussion with reporter Peter Boo.

Boo: "Mr Gore, what is your current position on global warming?"

Gore: "My position hasn't changed once over the past 30 years of exhaustive investigation. It remains that global warming poses the greatest threat to mankind in the history of the human race. The science is in, the time for debate is over. And unless we act quickly to reverse the vast damage we have inflicted upon this planet, we face severe and dire consequences."]]></description>

<p>Yesterday, in a stunning reversal, Al Gore broke down in tears in front of a throng of reporters at Chicago&#8217;s World Green Day conference, admitting publicly for the first time that the theory of Global Warming, which the former Vice-President has touted for the better part of three decades, has been nothing more than &#8220;hot air&#8221;.  &#8221;The fear that I&#8217;ve been perpetuating a hoax has been growing inside me for some time.

<p><strong>The rise in temperature: </strong><strong>Is the Earth hotter now than it was 40 years ago?</strong></p>
<p>Gore saved his most elaborate explanation for the microscopic rise in urban temperatures that has been reported relentlessly in the mainstream-press.<br />

&#8220;When we talk about Earth&#8217;s temperature, we are really talking not about overall temperature but about our cities&#8217; temperatures, as that&#8217;s where the vast majority of people live. The fact is: cities are in fact hotter now than they were 40 years ago. This is true. The higher temperatures in recent decades is the direct result of &#8216;urban sprawl&#8217;.&#8221; Gore stated. &#8221;Take a city like Los Angeles which has urban sprawl in all directions, sprawl that has tripled and quadrupled over the past 50 years. The vast networks of roads, concrete, glass, steel, and other raw materials now covering this once arid landscape create the temperature rise. Simply put:  concrete, tar, metal, glass, steel, heat up far more during the day than fields, valleys, rivers, and forests, thus increasing temperature in the most densely populated cities. If temperatures were measured in the middle of nowhere there would be no significant increase.</p>
<p>If we were to return Los Angeles today to the rural landscape, as it was in say 1880, the temperature in the middle of the day would be 5-10 degrees lower than it is now. So, the bigger the urban sprawl, the higher the temperature. We have used these alarming statistics, that this city, or that city has posted the highest temperature, or the hottest month in the past 100 years to scare people and manipulate statistics to support our hysterical viewpoints.&#8221; Gore went on to say. &#8220;And for that, people of planet earth, I am truly sorry.&#8221;</p>

<p>Gore went on for two hours taking aim at myth after myth and shooting it down. All that was left after the marathon three-hour admission of guilt was a shadow of man who once came within a heartbeat of being President.</p>
