(No Joke) Al Gore Causes Mental Illness in Children: Climate Change Delusion
By Bill Dupray Posted in Liberals — Comments (14) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
We can thank Al Gore for harming the world's children. From the Herald Sun via Rush.
Psychiatrists have detected the first case of "climate change delusion." [snip]
Writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Joshua Wolf and Robert Salo of our Royal Children's Hospital say this delusion was a "previously unreported phenomenon".
"A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood . . . He also . . . had visions of apocalyptic events." [snip]
"The patient had also developed the belief that, due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies."
So Gore and the Gorebots have made this child so worried about the planet that he became mentally deranged. Then again, maybe this isn't a new diagnosis at all. Al Gore has been this deranged for years. More proof that liberalism is harmful to your health.

The only problem I have with your blog post is it isn't only liberals but anybody who buys into the liberals' premises, including a good number of our Republican leaders in Congress, including the Republican presidential candidate... sigh.
those Republicans ARE liberals. You are looking at the trendiest beast in the zoo, the RINO.
Further proof that the Al Gore Man Made Global Warming Fad is nothing more than a cult.
All designed to make the cult leader (Al Gore) Rich and Famous...

the Moonies. Sun Myong Moon amassed millions while his foollowers lived in poverty. Much like Algore who in no way lives by his preachings, but expects everyone else to feel guilty if the stray off of the path.

With all the so-called "educators" going for the global warming hoax and using it to bully impressionable young children into believing that so much as exhaling causes Antartic icecaps to melt away and send massive tsunamis washing over their favorite beach, you have to wonder if there's more than a few young men and women out there who'll be next to walk off the cliff. Frankly, the "We're all doomed, all the time" headlines and TV/radio broadcasts are also part of the problem.
Adapt or die, kid. Save the planet. Turn off your bloody telly.

Is a social movement. It is not a physical science issue.
believe that it is possible it will get a lot worse and be a cause for some alarm in the future. But there is no good evidence that we have done much to contribute to it. Maybe a tiny, tiny bit, but not nearly so much as natural events.

That is basically my position which you have stated so succintly. I do not doubt Global Warming, it is to be expected. Earth will always have either a cooling or a warming trend... What I do not agree with is that we have had a 'significant' impact (taking into account the marginal effect of our emissions). Also, I definitely do not agree that we have to take drastic steps to manage the environment.
Hypothetically, lets say we reduce economic activity by w/e amount the environmentalists say we should (be under no doubt that their solutions will definitely involve lessened economic activity)... and we bring our CO2 emissions to a level which we deem satisfactory in 10 years. On the 11th year, Mt. Vesuvius/Etna/Krakatoa/God forbid, Yellowstone, erupts. It will be 10 years of pain and suffering down the tubes in 1 day.
The sooner we realize that we are insignificant when it comes to the changes in the environment, the better it is for us. I highly recommend Michael Crichton's novel State of Fear. I think one of his lines goes something like this... "When mother nature gets angry... the only thing puny humans can do is run and hide." Good stuff.

on the mountains behind the Mendenhall Glacier yesterday at about the 2500 foot level, also about a week ago. In twenty years living in this house with those mountains out my living room window, I have NEVER seen fresh snow on them in July. We had a big Pacific low blow in and just dump rain for a couple of days. Usually, these are pretty warm and act to melt any remaining snow cover this time of year. This year, the rain was cold and it added to the snow cover in the high country. With the days already getting shorter, that new snow just reflects back any sunshine we get, the mountains stay cold, the cold air flows down the valley. It's a pretty natural cycle and the way the planet regulates itself. It is utter arrogance to think we have much to do with it.

On Earty Day, up in Canada, a group wanted to have an outdoor tent festival/event to alert people to the dangers of Man Made Global Warming that is making everything hotter....
They had to move indoors due to a blizzard.
'nuff said.

Can you say "Ice Age"? Yes, you can.
They were predicting this sort of stuff back in the 1970s and well into the 1980s, I recall. That went by the wayside when 1984 came and went and no glaciers started shoving peoples' cabins down the mountainsides. However, there were cooling and warming cycles in Earth's past, including some which could be deduced from historical and archaeological records.
Whenever we had a warming trend (Al Gore's "Global Warming" happened before humans even started cutting down forests by the square mile), civilization seems to have flourished. Conversely, cooling meant that arable land was reduced, impacting the food supply, and people became less heathy as a result, leading to those plagues which had additional nasty effects upon the now-shrinking populations. I might also point out that this cooling also prompted mass migrations from the Asian steppe, which would affect matters in the civilized regions where settlements and cities were established.
The nomads at least got a solution for my "Adapt or Die" maxim...

I can understand how some people think we have a huge impact on our enviornment. Just look at the TV, you see images transmitted from across the world, almost instantly. Familiarity breeds contempt. The world looks smaller.
Jump in your car and drive 20 miles in 30 minutes to get a meal...as little as 100 years ago, 20 miles was a day-long, difficult journey. Many people could live their whole lives without leaving a patch of ground the size of a small city. Some still do.
I suggest going outside and looking around once in a while.
I think the only reason that this global warming hysteria has any effect at all is because the average person these days has never had to walk anywhere for their entire lives.
