President-elect Barack Obama said Tuesday his administration would brook no further delay in tackling climate change after discussing global warming with former vice president Al Gore.
Sitting between Gore and his vice president-elect Joseph Biden following the hour-long meeting, Obama told reporters: “All three of us are in agreement that the time for delay is over. The time for denial is over.
“We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now, that this is a matter of urgency and national security, and it has to be dealt with in a serious way. That is what I intend my administration to do,” he said.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Since his defeat in the 2000 presidential election, Gore has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his relentless efforts to combat climate change and starred in an Oscar-winning documentary called “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Gore is thought unlikely to figure in Obama’s incoming administration, which takes office on January 20.
But the climate change crusader is winning a respectful new audience for his views as Obama promises to unwind the environmental policies of President George W. Bush despite an economic recession hitting the United States.

I can deny anything I want. You do not own my mind. I can deny the holocaust. I Can deny Elvis is dead. I can deny global warming. Its called freedom of thought. Why do people let these losers get away with this garbage? You will never take my mind.

Amen
They reason they attack free thought, is because they know they don’t have an argument to make in this case. Instead they will push it harder on weak minds in schools and dependent colleges, they will put it on old folks daytime tv. They will not have public debates with qualified empirical scientist, because after all “science is not a democracy”.

lmao, this is so comical, I wonder the expressions on their face when the Senate comes out with their report from the UN tomorrow saying its all a bunch of malarkey.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Global warming is a huge Soviet Union bullshit plan for global tax for a world government. We Americans are being taken for a ride by all of these assholes. Obama is an asshole. I hope that one day it will be demonstrated to the free minds of the world just how much of an asshole these scum are while they are all defeated in their purpose to force world government by thugs and slavers on 90% of the populations of the earth. Lock and load.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I watched the press conference with Obama & “vice president” Gore . I noticed Obama did not say “former xice president” but “vice president” Gore. this happened three times.
Did Cheney get replaced, and I missed it?
Or is there some sort of a “narnia clause” where once a president or vice president always on?
Or perhaps the holder of the “office of the president elect” out of touch with reality?
December 10th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
WTF does Alex Jones have against the fact that global warming is fact and not fiction (as right wing-nuts will have us all think)?! Alex.. you are a psyco!! It makes me wonder about HIS agenda for this entire site. Would it be so bad we pumped some money into having nicer parks for our grandchildren to visit? Wouldn’t it be better to help the polar bears instead of the corrupt politicians and ceo’s? If we need to get away from foreign oil then we need to get rid of oil altogether. I don’t want offshore drilling in my state.. I don’t want an accident to happen. I like my life.. I don’t agree with the assholes running my life but I like the simple pleasures that nature brings.. it’s one of the few joys we have left in this world that people shouldn’t own. I’m not a liberal and I eat meat and I’m sure I do some things that would make a tree hugger shit their pants.. but enough already. It time for all those things to change and for us all to respect what keeps the earth together, We need this shit to breath.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Yeah Jin, Alex is just making it up that anthropogenic global warming is a scam to impose a global tax and more government controls over human activity. Nevermind the thousands of scientists who have stated that there is no demonstrable link between CO2 and global warming.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
No Phil, it’s like they still call Bill President Clinton, it’s a title that never leaves…fire dead, no conspiracy here!!!LOL!!!
December 10th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Alex Jones is pissing somebody off.
Why else would government paid lairs appear?
December 10th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
If a milk cow is worth $165 per head for greenhouse gas tax, what’s a congressmen worth?
December 10th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
This guy is satanic and part of the corrupt Chicago political machine… Liberalism really IS a mental disease. Michael Savage was right , “Liberalism is a mental disorder!” So easily duped!
December 10th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Another tax scam, but on a bigger and far stupider scale than anyone could have possibly imagined… Thanks, Al Gore.
Excelsior!
December 10th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I’d like the environment to be about 20 deg C and about 50% humidity all year round. 8-). Do these people that want to end climate change have any idea what they want their climate to be ?
Morons.
December 10th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Are you ready to fork over your carbon tax?
Are you ready to let your lords take more of your money? They don’t quite take enough of your money right now so they’ve made up a story to squeeze more out of you.
Just for a moment, consider how much money your government extorts from you (under threat of imprisonment) and then consider the services they provide. You pay a ridiculously exorbitant price for the services your governments provide.
How much longer are you willing to put up with this?
You don’t have to put up with it at all any more.
The internet has fragmented the control of information. This is fragmenting the power and control of the governments. Soon the national governments that protect the bankers will crumble.
Our banks and governments will soon be in outright competition with private social systems that provide the same services but for a minute fraction of the cost. Click the link below to find out more.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Wow. This guy isn’t wasting any time. Osama Hussein may even be the first guy iv’e ever seen who might be “overqualified” for any New World Order scumbag job. No matter how “humanitarian” or well meaning it may sound, the result is-
EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE RESULTS IN OPPRESSING/DISEMPOWERING THE COMMONERS, AND INCREASING THE WEALTH AND AUTHORITY OF THE RULING ELITES. If you are able to see through the fog of the rhetoric, it’s that simple. It’s a real no brainer.
Obama is so slick, if I were Satan I wouldn’t even allow him in hell- cause he might take over the place by popular vote!
“And by peace, he shall destroy many……..” If he was really birthed in Kenya, and if Kenya is one of the four divisions of Alexanders former kingdom, it is possible that this guy could be a potential candidate for the anti Christ! Anyway you dice it, this guy is 100% NWO bred to the bone, picking up in the playbook where Bush jr left off.
We don’t need to end global warming denial. We need to end NWO denial.
December 10th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Great idea Doug. I’d like 70 degrees at 70% humidity. With that, I won’t need a humidor for my cigars. Oh, and Phil … my side hurts.
December 10th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Why is global warming now a matter of national security? Are the polar bears going to invade the US? Your politician crack me up ! Bye Bye USA
December 10th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
who cares? if it stops control of people through oil and is replaced by massive investment in non pulluting solar and geothermal power then this is a good thing. It’s only when they introduce a carbon tax that people will know they’re just into a money making scheme that won’t be tolerated.
zetigeist addendum goes into geothermal in detail and it stands to wreck the plans of the nwo.
If obama and gore are serious about the environment then they’ll invest in this otherwise they can go f**k themselves with their carbon tax.
December 10th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
“If a milk cow is worth $165 per head for greenhouse gas tax, what’s a congressmen worth?”
95% of our congressmen are not worth one cow’s daily methane production. A carbon tax is just another government fraud. What are we gonna do about it??
December 10th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Refer “Watta Up with That”…a daily climaete update and note that Gore never lets himslef be questioned by scientists.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
What really sucks is that if you claim that the man-made global warming campaign is a fraud, people automatically assume that you’re some backwards republican with investment in oil. Because George Bush destroyed the country from the right, particularly for the first four years of his Presidency, now there is little skepticism about the democrat’s agenda from the liberal media. As Alex Jones says repeatedly, the left-right paradigm is set up to pin people against each other and be caught up in trivial elements instead of seeing the entire pyramid as a whole. It’s success is astounding.
A matter of National security? That’s just scary. Just as Alex Jones predicted.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
We need to bombard them with phone calls and letters, like with the banking buyout. A lot of them feel stupid that they voted for it. Maybe this time they’ll listen. Is there a data base somewhere that keeps track of all the idiot congress people? I think it is unfair/stupid to charge a fart tax especially to the farmers and the the working class folks!
Are people really that stupid to believe a weirdo like Gore? Obaaaama said he was against special interest groups, how about charging the big corporations and oil companies (they’re special interest groups). And they are the real polluters. Not the average farnmer who have farm animals that fart! If that’s the most stupidest thing I ever did hear! Wow! It’s the oil companies who won’t let alternative fuel hit the market. They’ll send the CIA after you to stop you from marketing it. Wish we could stop this madness!
December 10th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Yea right the only way I would be conviced is if all this crap like smog test and co2 was suddenly free, every thing was all donnation and recycleing was the same as aluminm useing the deposit method. THERE IS NO NO NO MORE BIG MONEY TRANSFER AND MADE OF THE ENVIROMENT HELL YEA that would be the only way I would be convince of globo warming.
December 10th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
“95% of our congressmen are not worth one cow’s daily methane production”
A) but one milk is in general more productive than 95% of congressmen combined in any matter
B) a single congressman can cause more environmental damage in a single day than 95% of all cows combined in a year
All tongue in cheek aside did anyone catch the EPA’s 10 most wanted?

If this were really a list of the top ten of “environmental fugitives” the NWO would not be a problem
December 11th, 2008 at 1:07 am
If for no other reason, a carbon tax is a good idea because it will lessen our dependence on oil importation. If imports drop by half due to war, or just shortages there will be a lot of hungry cold Americans. Some people won’t make it to work, some crops will not be planted or harvested, flights will be canceled ect. The fuel shortages in the southeast this fall due to two hurricanes hitting the gulf coast in one year show just how close to the edge our just in time economy runs. Don’t even get me started on the fact that in the long term good watersheds in the appachalians are worth much more than the coal beneath them. I must say that I do look forward to a renewed passenger rail system though.
December 11th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Electric cars were around 100 years ago, Honda have made a hydrogen car.
If the problem was that huge the answer is or was very simple, use less oil.
I smell BS from miles away.
WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP. Use your sense of smell.
Co2 will be a great way to track and control everything we do. EVERYTHING.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:06 am
Al Gore is an imbecilic British agent (close to the genocidalist Royal family) and if Obama is going with his ecofascist policies he needs his bloody head examined.
December 11th, 2008 at 4:58 am
Thats a BIG change. Wow!!!
December 11th, 2008 at 6:26 am
One belch from a volcano releases more CO2 than human beings have in our entire existence. Think about it.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:27 am
CHANGE IS GOOD
GREED IS GOOD
INFLATION IS GOOD, not wage inflation
IMMIGRATION IS GOOD
MELAMINE IS GOOD
GM IS GOOD
TAX IS GOOD
CONTROL IS GOOD
FREEDOM OF CHOICE?
BAD
BAD
BAD
Some still don’t see it. BRAIN WASHING AND MARSHAL LAW IS BIG TIME GOOD. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
MORE, MORE AND MORE IS GOOD for the few.
Stiill don’t see it?……. THE CAMPS WILL GIVE YOU MORE TIME TO CONSIDER.
THE CAMPS ARE GOOD.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:40 am
sheeple
Here we have a global crisis, created by global ‘thinkers’
~ made up of grade A global BS
do you honestly believe GAS PRICES could have dropped if there were a shortfall??
How idiotic!We have been played and toyed with by the same scum elite that has plagued mankind forever.. in roman times, medieval times and now the same douche bags, who control all the money pull the strings.Nothing has changed..Nothing will change
Love your masters and your chains!
Rules apply only to the ruled!
Carbon tax on the masses will be the material of entertainment at the next Bilderberg meeting.They will just crack up at the hysterics of imbeciles who believe just about anything the tube tells them
December 11th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Al Gore is getting an audience. What a disaster this is!
Now he will shove Global Warming propaganda down everyone’s throat. Now the media will incessantly talk about global warming this and global warming that ad nauseum.
They will then mandate products you don’t need for cars, lawn mowers, maybe YOU, and make industry very expensive. Governments will be required to buy products they don’t need. Of course that means tax increases.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:54 am
There are no camps!
Check utube. A picture alone tells the story.
Go check it out!
There are no Fema camps you are MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.
Those camps are for an ever growing bunch of patriot/terrorist who refuse to give up on their country.
I HEAR A KNOCK ON THE DOOR It’s immigrant cops with my gun a cuffs.
Better sweet talk and get the tea on and cakes out.
CHECK IT OUT PLEASE FELLOW AMERICAN.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:52 am
I Had respect for Obama,i thought he would be smarter than the Last president we had was, but this will show me he sure as hell isn’t. He’s just another “Politician, through and through. You know the weather takes a turn every 30 years. You remember what the weather was like 30 years ago? We had Hot summers, some drought like conditions,then few years later the rains came. The weather makes a pattern. Its usually every 30 years. we’re coming out of this 30 year trend now where we’ll start getting colder winters again and more snowfall during the winters, and more rains. It Takes a “Trend”. Just like the rivers. they too change every 30 years. How they flow and such. Maybe obama needs to do some REAL homework before he throws out another order for a carbon Tax. Talk to some older folks ask them if they remember times like this were having in the weather. they can tell you of the droughts of the 30’s. “The dust Bowl Years. Besides. All these Parking lots and Blacktop roads hold in Heat in the earth. Ever think of that? Worlds covered by im sure at least 45% with blacktop and concretes for parking lots and buildings. Think about that one you go to a Mall. How much area alone there is covered?
December 11th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Its the same old story,create a false enemy to give the government leverage over the people
this opens the door for new taxes, restrictions on the life style of the general public.Climate change is a natural occurrence that has been happening for millions of years,long before humans inhabited the earth.Thousands of scientist have proven or at least given evidence that climate change is not man made.Al Gore who won the Noble Peace Award for a documentary
based on bogus information is leading the charge to convert lies into facts for his own personnel gain . While the country is being destroyed by illegal immigration and a printing press economy the politicians rather pursue this sham rather then address the real issues at hand,simply because there decisions are based on profit and there own well being.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:01 am
You’re all crazy! The elite MUST be trying to destroy themselves! It’s self sabotage at its best. Say they did instate a carbon tax, if the average commoner doesn’t have the money to keep their car & home, then they aren’t contributing to global warming (I believe in global cooling ~ just for the record). After all, if you live in the woods in a tent, isn’t that best for the environment? Oh, wait, they would instate a campfire extinguishing tax to help pay for all the wildfires in Cali. How ’bout this… as soon as you get a job, you have to fill out a form with a list of 50 categories. You would then choose 10 that would get a certain percentage of your pay, but devided according to your specifications. Every year, you would get a new one to fill out & be allowed to keep five the same, but have to change five in order to keep things constantly flowing in all categories. For example, if I don’t believe in global warming & I don’t want any of my money going towards that cause, then I wouldn’t check that category. Instead, I could choose to give 6% (of the 17% being deducted from my paycheck) to preserving the wetlands. The plan would be similar to the setting up & distribution of a 401K plan. ….. Alas, I can even see problems with this plan as I’m typing. Why does everything have to be so complicated????
December 11th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
There is nothing we can about it. Whats comming is all according to plan. Obama is the White Horse. He going out to conquer.
