This makes me sick to my stomach!

Cold War spirit? Heck, it's still HOT here ;-))

 

On the contrary, everybody I know, thinks that the gores, the clintons, the kerrys and the bin ladins; are nothing more than a huge pile of oop:

 

A bag of cow chips that is, ARF ARF ARF(imitation of a French guy laughing)

So much for the Liberal Peace Prize, RIP Alfred.

 

Sounds more like an intestinaly impaired F.F.F. (forum freedom fighter) barkings.

Al Gore nobel prize lol ! This guy was already so much infatuated, he sure did not need this !

 

I am really, really pleased with all the Nobel laureates of this year (as of the last ones).

Despite his self-promotion, environmental 'paranoia' or political credentials (or ambitions), it's a well-deserved prize. Civilian, democratic activism is rewarded, as well as a long struggle for environmentalism and sustainable development. Gore's conferences, books and film (well-done, cinematrographically speaking) helped, as no other single phenomenon had, forcing the media and politicians, worldwide, to talk about global warming. It became a real problem (not a mere 'theory' or academic subject). Now it is a priority. Even George W. Bush had gone green!

Are you kidding? What world do you live in? Global warming involves many things: it questions the very essence of the free market system: the way we consume. Is our development biologically sustainable? The market's race for oil, water and other resources... what geopolitical consequences may have in the future? The melting of the poles, what consequences will have in demographics, economics, emigration?

The Swedish Academy got it right: global warming is crucial for world Peace (understood in the biblical sense: Shalom, 'welfare', 'solidarity', 'the just order of Creation').

 

Ya really kill me Freddy!!!

That's quite a response! Very dialogue-inviting!

 

Ah now I know what a Moonbat looks like or is that an over zealous friends of Venice supporter, A move on .org seminar poster, or an extra from Eyes Wide Shut

I aim to please. That's my Matthäus Hetzenauer joke.

Thank you I'll be here all week.

Andy Dick a humorus train wreck.

 

A miracle of science found in this forum! The Neanderthal man is not extinct aftet all!

There are three in this forum, including the one in the photo



Please notice the focused and wise look in this one.

Besides, Fried presented his argument in a cogent form, and you were only able to respond with snickers and insulting remarks.

Negative reputation to both of you, courtesy of The Red Rabbi!

 

So easy even a caveman can do it!

 

Just curious...What do "you" think is more important: the war against terrorism and radical islam or global warming and a few extra co2 emissions?

 

Global warming, of course.

If we consider the problem and consequences, in its due measure, many, many geopolitical problems can be worsened or caused by global warming. One is, of course, energy based on fosile fuels. Not only the way first world countries consume energy is both, extremely poluting and a source of injustice, it brings us also to the problem of struggle for oil. Nowadays, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Canada and the USA are contesting the Artic soil, because of its energetic resources... China, with its accelerate growing rate, is consuming more and more oil, and, in a matter of 10 years, it'll recquire some 10 million barrels more per-day. Where the-heck is that going to come from? Another Saudi Arabia? Which brings us to oil-dependance on the Middle East countries, their dictatorships, unequal distribution of income and, of course, religious extremism.

And, please, let's not forget China and Thailand buying cheap natural gas from Myanmar, thus financing its dictatorial government. Or what about China and its veto against an international military intervention at Darfur, where 300.000 people have been killed and other 3.000.000 displaced? The genocidal régime of Sudan, of course, grants 8% of China's oil...

Climatic change too has economic consequences: floods, over-heating and dry lands, famines, poverty, emigration. If the level of the world's oceans raises because the poles are melting... what'll happen to the population whose land has been taken by the sea? Where will they go? Who'll feed them? What'll happen to the 500 million people in the coast of China, or the 200 of the Ganghes Delta? Or even the Netherlands...

The modern world's current development is unsustainable: the planet's resources can't take it. China and India cannot have the USA's fuel consuming levels, because, simply, there's not enough oil on Earth. If the weather changes, if natural catastrophes increase, what makes you think global terrorism is not going to expand, when first world countries build fortresses to keep hundreds of million of starving people out?

Terrorism and radical Islam are very, very important problems, but they're neither the most important nor they are truly global. I'd rather say that 1/3 of Mankind living with less than one dollar a-day or the very equilibrium of the Earth's environment can have much greater consequences...

 

ah Gottfried but the terror acts could be global faster than one might think. Evil men do evil things

 

Another casualty from open mike night, kitchen too hot, forget to change the kitty's box? Keep up Private Gardner your falling behind.

 

I find it quite hilarious that the Norwegian committee that examines nominees for the nobel prize (a.k.a., the George Bush Hate Club) would choose to side with -thereby putting itself on the same intellectual footing- the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awarded an Oscar to the hypocrite for his false alarmist bullsh*t. Then again, what else is new? Such career socialists (committee) would naturally favor like socialists, thugs and fools such as Gore, Arafat and Carter, respectively. Gore and company have one thing going for them in their GW agenda: It has become so over politicized that even the findings of renown men in the scientific community, not to mention the British High Court's ruling that gore's film is largely a collection of un-truths, who offer sound emperical evidence against the "theory" of man caused GW have been brushed by the way-side in favor of a cultural consensus.

 

I disagree very heatedly Friedrich! Global warming is extremely gradual in its effects. Man will adapt just as man has for millenia and in much less capable circumstances. It is only on the Left where change because of global warming is causing panic (which I think is due largely to the adoption wholesale of female memes at a sociatial level).
Islamic fundimentalist terrorism and statism has the potential to do several very catastrophic things:

1. It could topple "Western" civilization and restructure much of the political and social nature of the world.
2. It could launch a nuclear war on a theater or global scale.
3. It could in the aftermath of either of the above set man back centuries in terms of social and economic development.

The best long term solution to man's problems are found in increasing the economic status of the entire world and in moving population off world to other places. They are not found in trying to maintain the enviromental status quo or the social / political situation in a static mode.

 

Ah, Erich, and is evil found exclusively in Islamic terrorism? I don't think so...

I don't even know whether to respond at this... again, very pleasing, full of respect for people who have different ideas, without using adjectives indiscriminately... I'll just say, on any given day, I'll gladly pay my respect to both, Mr. Carter and Mr. Gore: I finf their projects (Habitat for Humanity and the global warming activism) full of right, good and honest intentions and with far more positive rather than negative consequences.

Well, I'd rather go with 'leftist alarmism' than 'rightist blindness'. It's always better to try to improve things and screw up than doing nothing (though it is not a dogma). You've said it: not mantaining the status quo. I do agree with you on the possible and frightful consequences of Islamic terrorism and statism (though I'd dare saying that free-market fundamentalism is just as dangerous), but I still believe that the Justice needed in this world is much broader than economic development, just in the sense of Paul VI's encyclical Populorum Progressio, published 40 years ago and useful more than ever.

Regards, guys.

 

You speak of respect? I will continue to show my disdain for al gore in whatever colorful fashion I see fit, which pales to his complete disrespect of the American people by perpetrating such an outright lie as the liberal agenda of GW, which is also nothing more than an aside to the very real threat of Islamic terrorism. Furthermore, if you honestly believe that the hypocrite's intentions are right, good and honest then I truly pity you.
