Emergency! Sky Falling
Gore calls for ‘global Marshall plan’
By Daniel Pimlott-FinancialTimes With commentary added by Those Jerks at CarbonCreditWarehouse.com
Al Gore, the former US vice-president, on Wednesday called for a “Marshall plan” to make job creation
and measures to address climate change compatible and urged President George W. Bush to commit to mandatory cuts in carbon
dioxide emissions.

The only thing that should be committed around here is Al Gore. He obviously hasn’t
a clue as to what the Marshall plan was.
“This is an emergency,” Mr Gore told the opening session of the Clinton Global Initiative. “I think that the key to
fighting global poverty is to have the wealthy nations and the developing nations join together to reduce global warming …
I think what we need is a global Marshall plan to make the creation of jobs around the reduction of carbon the central
principle for how we develop this.”
- Hello! Earth to Al: Making every country into a 3rd world country based on your total ignorance of the science
involved in global warming theory is not progress, and does not help the poor. - How exactly can the creation of jobs around the reduction of carbon provide hope for the poor when the
policy Gore proposes is supposed to put a stop to carbon pollution? Suppose the world did this, what would we do
to recover from the global depression caused by the elimination of all the economies based on fossil fuels? You know,
those big bad rich industrialized countries that feed most of the world.
- Once you have achieved your goals, what jobs will be left for those in the carbon reduction industries?
Guess we’ll have to create more carbon pollution to keep the ball rolling.
“We have to have a binding reduction on carbon,’’ he said.
- How do you propose we stop the 97% of these carbons produced by nature? Should we build a really
big tarp and cover the oceans? I guess that would revive the textile industry.
Robert Zoellick, the head of the World Bank, sounded a skeptical note on the developing world’s
ability and desire to reduce carbon emissions, however. Poorer countries are worried aid is going to be “hijacked”
by the climate change agenda, Mr Zoellick said.
- And he is right, and it is nothing more than an agenda. Right now I’m thinkin’ Al Gore’s personal CO2
emissions are the biggest threat. Anyone have a ball-gag handy?
Countries such as China and India threaten to become the world’s top producers of carbon dioxide,
as they ramp up energy use to feed rampant economic growth. The rapid development of poorer countries is
considered by many scientists and economists to be one of the chief challenges in tackling climate change.
- Oh Uncle Al, help us! Please stop rampant economic growth and the rapid development of poorer countries!
Mr Zoellick said the bank could assist developing countries and combat climate change through
advice in taking part in carbon-trading markets, assisting in accessing technological advances and innovations,
but “always putting the focus on development”.
- And you can take part in carbon-trading markets right here at the Carbon Credit Warehouse! We can assist you in accessing technological advances and innovations to combat climate change.
Just purchase a Carbon Credit or Global Cooling Device.
“We don’t have a right to ask anybody in the world to stay poor, but if you can show
them that they can get rich quicker … by pursuing a cleaner energy path… that would be a valuable role
for the World Bank,” he said. “People can’t seize options they are not aware of.”
- There you have it: another get rich quick scheme. They aren’t asking anybody to stay poor,
they’re going to make us all poor together. What a wonderful world it could be: all of us gathered hand
in hand trying to decide if we should use dung for heat or fertilizer, while our distended bellies demand we eat the cow.
- The only world emergency we face (aside from Iran) is if we listen to the Al Gores of the world.
