Save my jet, please

Speaking of Al Gore inventing the information age with his clever little Internet gadget, I was just bitching about AlGore in a recent follow up effort to the pithy “Creatures from outer space” post that never was finished.
I was getting short on time to get out the door so I kinda left the post short but I think my point was kinda obvious. These damn eco-freaks can’t get it through their thick skulls that humans are in fact a natural phenomenon that evolves, exists and survives on this planet just like every other thing, living or dead, organic or inorganic.
Global warming is a big scam that is run by a lot of wealthy people from around the world who are trying to marshal all the available resources they can swindle in a futile effort to protect their real property holdings in the event adverse conditions should, say, submerge New York City, or something. More likely is that New York City will still just be a sewer but a significantly warmer climate will render now fertile crop land into a more arid, less hospitable clime, resulting in a poor long-term business outlook for existing, bountiful agribusinesses.
Ordinary people like me don’t give a damn if other people besides the people now are making gobs and gobs of money. And I certainly don’t care that Al Gore will own a big dirt farm. If it were just a bunch of small farmers losing their ass global warming wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar.
Big corporations in the farming and real estate business don’t like the thought of their landholdings suddenly becoming worthless.
I’ve seen the data on this, so I know I’m right. I managed to get a copy of one of the key bits of intel:
Current climate conditions:
Any day now the world will look like this:
At least the Arabs have a bunch of oil to fall back on. In Tennessee dirty burning coal will suddenly become en vogue once again and Al Gore will be leading the charge.
UPDATE: “Rice vows USA committed to tackling global warming” …Whoa there, Nellie. Are we? I’m not. I reject the theory that we can “fix” “global warming”. I’m not even convinced that humans are, by simply existing and surviving, causing any significant amount of warming. Besides, I want the biggest fattest carbon footprint I can possibly achieve. “Hey, Buddy, my carbon footprint is bigger than yours, ha!”
UPDATE II: “DEM Plan Uses Taxes to Fight Climate Change”… Come on, everyone pitch in to save my jet.
UPDATE III: Gore calls for global Marshall Plan…
“This is an emergency,” Mr Gore told the opening session of the Clinton Global Initiative. “I think that the key to fighting global poverty is to have the wealthy nations and the developing nations join together to reduce global warming … I think what we need is a global Marshall plan to make the creation of jobs around the reduction of carbon the central principle for how we develop this.”
Does anyone else find this “global Marshall Plan”Ironic considering my turn of phrase above? But, hey, what about letting the free will of free people who decide what they want to be when they grow up form the basis of job creation? I know it’s a crazy idea.
