Hollywood conservatives are calling for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the Oscar they awarded to noted Noble Prize winner-slash-Internet inventor Al Gore in the wake of what many are calling ‘climategate’.
Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd issued a statement today calling for the Academy to take back the Oscar that was lavished on Al Gore for his 2007 crap-fest “An Inconvenient Truth”.
While there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of this actually happening, it does highlight the latest gambit by conservatives to shed light on the Global Warming shemozzle that Al Gore started with his propaganda piece over three years ago.
All this is happening a week before a controversy-laden Climate Change conference in Copenhagen is set to commence where Gore was supposed to deliver a presentation to over 3000 people, but subsequently cancelled. The change in plans is thought to be due in large part to the leaked emails that surfaced this week in which scientists from University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit spoke of manipulating climate data. Republicans in Congress have called for hearings on the subject.
Like the headline says… It sure isn’t easy being green.
“We have so much room for improvement. Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory…of how we are taking responsibility.”
Folks, what does that mean?
She’s over in Shanghi or something, preaching to students about how we should become green…
Is that really what the Speaker of the House should be doing? Especially now, when Barack Obama wants to jam through some climate bills? And some approval committees?
But, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that this is just a distraction from what is really going on…We should focus on the important issues, like what is really inside the climate bill…
Lord Christopher Monckton, an adviser to Margret Thatcher, was to testify with Al Gore in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The discussion is part of the committee meetings about the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.
Monckton had this to say, “The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore’s sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear.”
According to the article:
“…Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore.”
Well here’s something new. A hostile country has take American citizens hostage and put them on trial. This time, however, that country is North Korea. Two American journalists were taken hostage by North Korea after crossing into the country from China more than a month ago. Since then the journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been held in a “state guest house” outside Pyongyang. The two, reporters for Al Gore’s media behemoth disaster, “Current TV,” were in the country to interview North Korean defectors. They, along with a cameraman and their producer–both of whom managed to avoid capture–crossed the frozen Tumen river from the Chinese city of Yanji into the country and were apprehended shortly thereafter. They are currently waiting to be put on trial for illegal entry and “hostility toward North Korean people,” which may result in terms of up to three years and five to ten years, respectively. So two United States citizens are looking at a minimum of 10 years in a foreign prison. That would really go a long way in winning over the hearts and minds of the rest of the world.
