Tonight could get interesting.

I’m going to have to be a good boy tonight. I promised the wife I would. You see, we’re going to the annual Tiadaghton Audubon Society dinner and they’ve invited a Visiting Fellow from Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology to speak on “Birds and Global Climate Change.” This person is touted as:
“one of four Cornellians personally trained by Al Gore to give at least 10 presentations within a year of his Inconvenient Truth slide show. The training sessions, dubbed The Climate Project, were held in Nashville, Tenn., for an assorted group that included teachers and workers in industry, local and federal government.

In April 2007, [she] participated in the Climate project, a two-and-a-half-day workshop led by Al Gore. Over the course of several months, Gore trained 1,000 people (175 at a time) to give presentations that educate the public about global warming and the dangers of climate change.”


If she sticks to birds and climate change I might be able to keep myself under control—barely. If she starts spouting too much of the Goracle’s Anthropomorphic Global Warming, I’m going to lose it.

I already know where several members of the TAS stand (about as far left in the preservationists queue as you can get!). I probably have as much education in the Environmental Sciences as any of them (BS from Rutgers’ College of Agriculture and Environmental Science, MS in Environmental Science/Ecology from Seton Hall University plus numerous courses in Earth Science, Geology and Meteorology. Having taught Earth Science and Environmental Science in high school for many years before turning to computer instruction, I feel I’ve got a pretty good background to comment on what I see as a vast, hyperactive case of scare mongering. And I have a nasty habit of not biting my tongue. I’ll try to be polite.

UPDATE: Funny you should say that Guy. Here’s a fella from NJ who thinks we on the right are a bit too polite. Tom at Radio Free NJ writes Wanna Save America? Go Ridicule Someone!

Don't be polite. That is how this scam has gotten as far as it has because too few people who have the background to speak up have done so.

It is not about global warming..it is about politics and the desire of the left wing for a one world government...and the only way they are going to achieve that is to weaken the USA to the point that our economy is as weak as the third world countries they want us to emulate.

Tell the public how it is every chance you get and if it embarrasses a Gore supporter so much the better...

Ask if you can get an autographed DVD to use as a beer coaster.
