(I was the one who sent it to Joyner.)

I missed it. I saw it on an aggregator (likely memeorandum).

Yeah, it's funny, provided you keep in mind that it's a wild exaggeration of his declared views. (I was the one who sent it to Joyner.) It's not as funny, however, as the ravings of some of the rightists on the thread here, given that the review of Gore's movie in "Science" concluded that it was "accurate except in a few details, and an important warning".

I wish to help out all of the leftwingers here and save them some cash. I have some freshly minted carbon credits for sale at a discount price of $10.00 per unit. These are official and I guarantee them of offset carbon. Serious inquiries only. My cell number is 1-555-555-0000. Discounts are available. Get them quick before the early winter sets in.

I wonder if old Al included that 100 million plus he sucked off the fools that ought to be the ones leaving the planet.

deserves all the ridicule he gets.

Well, frankly, IMO he deserves rather more than he gets, so we'll have to settle.

Is that one of Al’s houses in the background? It probably has its own power plant so it can heat the outside pool and tennis courts areas.

Frankly, I find it sad to have to witness the pathetic end of a loser trying to maintain relevance in a world that has passed him by. He could have maintained some dignity had he chosen the role of elder statesman. Instead, he chose the path of a zealous alarmist buffoon and (IMHO) deserves all the ridicule he gets.

...oh, and Al looks a little silly in that Lost In Space outfit. Notice, though, the picture doesn't show his elitist end of the earth shoes :-)

I just took my son to see WALL-E* which is entirely based on the same premise (man destroys earth, now lives in space) but don't' worry, it all works out.

*Talk about a cartoon with an agenda...sheesh.
