George Carlin monologue on the environment, environmentalists, and saving the planet.
George Carlin may be gone, but his brilliant monologues will live forever at YouTube. Here’s the George Carlin monologue on the environment, environmentalists, and saving the planet. Ahhh, we miss you, George.
WARNING: It’s a George Carlin video, so this clip is filled with words and thoughts that may be offensive to many.
The One took two flights on Air Force One, four flights on Marine One. That’s one strange way to save the earth.

Al Gore is not going to like the latest Rasmussen Report on global warming. No, he’s not going to like it at all.
A year ago, 47% of likely American voters thought man was the primary cause of global warming. This year just 34% agree while 48% say climate change is the result of long-term planetary trends. 7% blame “something else.” 11% just aren’t sure. It’s the worst repudiation of Gore’s unscientific theory to date.
As you might expect, 51% of knee jerk Democrats agree with Gore that man is to blame. Luckily, 66% of Republicans and 47% independents disagree.
Gore has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on an ad campaign to convince the American people that his global warming hogwash is true, but the public’s not buying it. Kind of like his presidential campaign. Except he actually won that vote.

California Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman is at it again and the compliant mainstream media is doing its best to keep it under wraps.
A provision quietly inserted in a House climate bill would allow “victims” of global warming to sue the federal government and businesses.
The Washington Times says that Waxman and fellow Democrat Rep Edward Markey of Massachusetts slipped it into their climate bill.
The provision would set grounds for plaintiffs who have “suffered” or expect to suffer “harm” so that they can somehow blame on government inaction. “Harm” is defined as “any effect of air pollution (including climate change).” Each plaintiff could walk away with as much as $75,000 a year in government payouts. Ahhh, but don’t you worry your pretty little head. Waxman the Watchdog is watching out for you. His bill says no one can get more than $1.5 million in lifetime payouts.
Where do we sign up? We’re already expecting to suffer some harm from global warming. A starving polar bear could wander down from Alaska and ate our lunch.
Bingo. When can we expect the check?

Times are tough and the Goracle’s nascent media empire – built around the Current cable TV network – and has cancelled plans for a $100,000,000 public stock offering.
“In light of current market conditions, the registrant has determined not to proceed at this time with the public offering,” Current said in an SEC filing. “All activity regarding the proposed public offering has been discontinued.”
Current Media owns Current TV and youth-oriented website Current.com. Gore’s concept was that viewers would submit content to the network and website.
Poor Al Gore. Who else would be dumb enough to invest in a TV network that does the same thing YouTube does? Seriously, it’s such a dumb idea that it’s hard to believe it came from the same guy who invented the internet.

According to the latest issue of Forbes, Professor Richard Muller tools around uber liberal Berkeley in a Toyota Pirus.
Nothing out of place here, right? Wrong.
“It doesn’t save me money,” he explains. “It doesn’t help slow global warming. I just love the technology.” Muller, named a MacArthur genius in 1982, goes even further. He scoffs at the greens’ favorite energy theories and says people like Al Gore and Thomas Friedman are exaggerators of global warming, pure and simple.
Here at IHateTheMedia.com we wonder just what former future President Gore must think when he hears such blasphemy coming from an august professor.
The answer, obviously, is that Gore doesn’t think much (that sentence has two meanings and both of them are true).
Gore lives in a world of massive denial. To him, Professor Muller is just a dumb blond, Bill Clinton really didn’t have sex with that woman, and when Credence Clearwater sings ”Fortunate Son” the lyrics really say “I am a senator’s son.”

We don’t know if this music video qualifies as rap or hiphop. But we’re pretty sure neither genre will be too quick to claim it.
Things haven’t been going well for our friends in the global warming crowd lately, what with the freakishly cold weather in the northern hemisphere this winter.
So they’re doing a little outreach to rap and/or hiphop fans. Because as the number of true believers dwindles, they need to reach out to people they’ve never targeted before. It’s their attempt to be “relevant.”
Listen and laugh. It actually makes Brittney Spears’ a capella work sound good.
The same global warming proponents who used to bully people into submission are now attempting to bore them into submission.
James Hansen, the controversial NASA’s scientist and Al Gore toady, stars in a mind-numbingly dull new commercial promoting a March 2 protest at the Capitol Power Plant in Washington, DC. Continue reading “NASA exec tries to bore people into believing global warming”
With Barack Obama hogging the limelight, Bill Clinton’s been feeling kind of neglected lately. So he decided to say something guaranteed to get himself back in the headlines.
The former president appeared on NBC’s Today Show on Monday morning, where the sycophantic Ann Curry asked if the economic crisis is the greatest threat facing the United States.
“In the short run,” Clinton rasped. “In the medium-term, because I think we’ll come out of the economic crisis, terror and the spread of weapons of mass destruction are. In the long term, the prospect that the climate will crater and we won’t be able to preserve civilization is.”
This is actually good news. It’s like a reprieve. We were afraid civilization had ended back when Al Franken announced his candidacy.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, rocker Chris Martin, both bleed green. At least publicly. But privately, well, that’s a different matter.
A recent independent audit shows that their London home “leaks” energy. And a lot of it — more than 1,000 kilowatt hours of heat per year. In fact, the Times of London reports that thermal images of Paltrow/Martin and nine other high-profile English eco-wackos found that their homes’ heat loss was no better than what’s found in the average family home and often worse. Continue reading “Gwyneth Paltrow red-faced over green criticism?”
We generally hate the media. But we love it when they actually do their job. For example, Roll Call’s Heard on the Hill column nailed Barbara Boxer for one of her recent actions.
Picture this. Al Gore is on the floor of the senate, rattling on endlessly about global warming and how the timebomb is ticking. Boxer stands up and walks out.
Did she leave to protest Gore’s vision of doom and gloom? To attend a vital committee meeting? To confer with the President about saving the nation’s economy? Continue reading “Barbara Boxer more interested in the floor of her house than the floor of the Senate”
Sammy Wilson, Northern Ireland’s outspoken environment minister, has banned the British government’s climate change TV commercials. He said their message is “insidious propaganda.”
Wilson believes we should learn to cope with natural climate change, rather than waste our resources attempting to slow down a “man-made” problem.
The objectionable TV commercials are part of the British government’s “Act on CO2″ campaign. They encourage the public to reduce its use of electricity and fossil fuels.
The British responded by saying, “We’ll deal with Sammy Wilson and the global warming problem as soon as we can get all this damn snow off the streets.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnze-_4_DpgA horribly depressed 17-year old Aussie boy was admitted last year to the psychiatric until at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital.
So worried about global warming was the young man that he refused to drink water. Australian doctors termed the condition “climate change delusion.”
“Climate change could have a real impact on our psyches,” says Paul Epstein, associate director of Harvard Medical School’s Center for Health and the Global Environment.
Experts at the IHateTheMedia.com School of Medicine have dubbed the condition Gore Syndrome. Common symptoms include delusions of grandeur, rapid weight gain, and shriveling of the portion of the brain that controls logic.
Bad couple of weeks for Al Gore. First he had to brave dangerous blizzards to tell Congress about the dangers of global warming.
Now a new Rasmussen poll shows that most Americans think the media is blowing man’s impact on global warming (and its dangers) out of proportion.
To be specific, 54% percent of U.S. voters think the news media exaggerates the reality of global warming. Only 21% think the reporting reflects the situation accurately.
We took our own poll. 2% think Al Gore invented the internet. 54% think Al Gore is nuts. 93% are ready to move on to the next story.
Day One in the White House: President Obama works in the Oval Office in his shirtsleeves. The president’s explanation? He cranked up the thermostat because he hates to be cold.
During the campaign Obama said, “We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times.”
So why has Obama now cranked the Oval Office thermostat up that high? “He’s from Hawaii, O.K.” said Obama aide David Axelrod. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
Agricultural experts say the other thing that helps grow those orchids is the extraordinary amount of BS currently being spread in the Oval Office.
Here at I Hate The Media, we’re pretty well known for our sensitivity. So we want to make sure we say this delicately, so as not to offend.
Aw, the hell with it.
Rachel Maddow is out of her mind. It snowed in Dubai this week and the queen of MSNBC blamed it on global warming.
“Some big global warming news today. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton named a special envoy today for climate change…And if that’s not big enough news on climate change, how about this. It snowed in Dubai. Yeah, in the United Arab Emirates. And it’s not the fake, fluffy stuff they make for an indoor ski resort neither. These were big, chunky snowflakes falling on a mountain in the United Arab Emirates for only the second time in recorded history. The occurrence this weekend was so rare that local residents say they do not have a word for snow in their local dialect.”
Our correspondent in Abu Dhabi, which is right next door to Dubai, reports that local residents do have words for “Nuttier than a fruitcake.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAc4H7JTzW8While Senators of both parties bowed and curtsied to Al Gore, Dennis Miller used his sharply-honed analytical skills to determine that the man is a doofus, not a genius.
“He’s a bit of a doofus,” Miller observed. “He’s got too much of his personal salvation tied up in this for me to just take him at face value and think, well, it must be so. Al Gore said it.”
“Since the people of Tennessee essentially kept him from getting the White House, the people who knew him the best,” Miller continued, “I think that crushed his soul. I think he’s looking for something to brace himself up…I think at the core of it he’s a guy who’s guessing and must have some trepidation deep within that he’s clumsily overplayed this hand.”
There’s only one person in the world funnier than Dennis Miller. That person is, of course, Al Gore. He just doesn’t know he’s being funny.
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel says global warming is a “hoax” and “bad science” and that Al Gore refuses to admit his cause is based on bad research.
“I am totally convinced there is no scientific basis for any of it,” Coleman said. “Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high-jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history.”
Al Gore reportedly responding by saying, “The Weather Channel? Hah. Everyone knows you can’t trust a TV weatherman.”
Temperatures may have been freezing in Washington, DC yesterday, but the reception Al Gore got from the Washington Post was even chiller.
They dubbed him The Goracle, poked fun at his pompous predictions, laughed at his tortured phraseology, and cackled about kowtowing interrogators. They said:
“Mostly, however, the lawmakers took turns asking the Goracle for advice, as if playing with a Magic 8 Ball.”
“Prospects for regulating a future carbon emissions market? ‘There’s a high degree of confidence.’ The future of automobiles in China and India? ‘I wouldn’t give up on electric vehicles.’ The potential of solar power in those countries? “’I have no question about it at all.’”
We got out our Magic 8-Ball and asked it a few questions. This thing’s good.
Is Al Gore a pompous ass? “Signs point to yes.” Is global warming some kind of scam? “It is decidedly so.” Is this article about finished? “Without a doubt.”
James Hansen, one of Al Gore’s closest allies, has given thousands of speeches and written enough papers to kill a medium-sized forest. Yet he repeatedly says he was muzzled by the Bush administration.
Oops. Hansen’s former boss, retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John Theon, says Hansen’s claims are nonsense.
“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress,” Theon said.
Damn those inconvenient truths! Damn them to hell!
Al Gore is about to begin his latest Chicken Little testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
But while Gore is blathering on about the ‘urgent need’ to combat global warming, a “Winter Storm Watch” has been issued for the region and significant snow, sleet, and ice has been predicted.
Global warming believers say this year’s brutal winter weather is proof of climate change. Highly-trained meteorologists at I Hate The Media say this year’s brutal winter weather is proof of brutal winter weather.
