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…
If you lose your job because of the new climate change bill…they will pay you for…three years…
And, according to Glenn Beck, that could cost the taxpayer…$33 Billion.
Here is the reasoning.
2.2 jobs are lost for every green job created.
Barry O. wants to create 5 million green jobs.
That’s 11 million lost jobs…That’s a devastating number of lost jobs.
$3,000 for each person whose job has been destroyed…
$33 Billion.
Why do the congress and Barack Obama want to jam through all these bills and approval hearings? Probably because they don’t want people to read the bills, or ask the tough questions…
