Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.

Wow. I am humbled by Saint Al's commitment  to serve humanity. It's not enough that he is "Nobel Peace Prize winner" and "environmental crusader". Al Gore has now entered the holiest of holy professions, "community organizer".

The former U.S. vice president, whose climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award, told a philanthropic meeting in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the climate crisis."

Did I miss a memo? Saint Al is now a philanthropist too? Last time I checked, His Holiness had gotten filthy, stinking rich peddling his global warming nonsense.

"I believe for a carbon company to spend money convincing the stock-buying public that the risk from the global climate crisis is not that great represents a form of stock fraud because they are misrepresenting a material fact," he said. "I hope these state attorney generals around the country will take some action on that."

Stock fraud? There are those who think Al Gore should be sued for peddling the outright fraud of Global Warming.

Scientists say carbon gases from burning fossil fuel for power and transport are a key factor in global warming.

Um, yeah... Scientists say whatever will get them more grant money. The list of things that supposedly cause global warming and things supposedly caused by global warming is quite absurd. Apparently even Global Cooling causes Global Warming.

The reality is that the planet has been hotter in the past, and the planet has been cooler in the past. The carbon dioxide levels have been lower in the past, and the levels have been much higher in the past. Temperatures and carbon dioxide levels simply don't correlate. Global warming exists only in flawed and limited computer models. These models can't even predict the past.

Carbon capture and storage could give coal power an extended lease on life by keeping power plants' greenhouse gas emissions out of the atmosphere and easing climate change.

But no commercial-scale project exists anywhere to demonstrate the technology, partly because it is expected to increase up-front capital costs by an additional 50 percent.

At a time when America needs to develop every feasible energy source, Al Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants. He proposes expensive solutions to non-existent problems - solutions that will line his pockets with money.

PETA Urges BEN & JERRY's To Use Human Milk...

VERMONT -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.

• Ad-table: class storyAd"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.

PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.

"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk."

A few (not so serious) questions spring to mind:

• Is today April 1st?
  
  
• How can even the stridently PC crowd pretend to take PETA seriously after this?
  
  
• Where/how does one get enough breast milk to run an ice cream business?
  
  
• Is there even a market for breast milk ice cream?
  
  
• How long before the granola eating hippies, Ben & Jerry, get labeled as animal abusing, corporate fascists?
