What if Al Gore declared eating ice cream to be extremely harmful to our precious environment? (Due to the unrefined behavior of cows, he may already have made such a declaration. Who can keep track of the plethora of activities he claims are bad for the planet?)
Mr. Gore would stand next to you, eating a huge bowl of fresh-from-the-freezer Cookies 'n Cream, and say that it's imperative you refrain from opening your tub. "For the love of god, don't do it," he'd scream in opposition of you eating ice cream. "If you dig your spoon into that huge chunk of cookie atop the creamy vanilla we'll all die."
"Sure, Mr. Gore," would be the response. "You were Vice President of the United States, so even though common sense tells me your claim has no merit, you must be trustworthy. But I feel it my duty to respectfully alert you to the fact that, as we speak, you're eating ice cream."
"I know," Mr. Gore would respond. "I like ice cream."
"Well, sir, by looking at you it's pretty obvious that you have a massive sweet tooth. But if eating ice cream will kill us all relatively soon, why are you still doing it?"
"I already told you," Mr. Gore would retort. "I like ice cream. So I'd rather convince everyone else to stop eating ice cream. That way I get my fix and humanity will continue existing."
"But, sir, it's difficult to cease a desired action, based on your warning, when you're doing the exact thing you claim will have disastrous consequences. If you said a meteor was heading our way and told me to run, then hastily scampered off, I would probably follow. If you told me about the meteor, and then stood perfectly still, chances are I would doubt the existence of an impeding meteor strike. Does that make sense?"
"Don't eat that ice cream," Mr. Gore would then repeat.
"You didn't answer my question. Doesn't my meteor analogy make perfect sense?"
"That's a good question."
"And..."
"I don't answer good questions. If you ask me about the things you can do to stop the planet from being destroyed, I will oblige you with an extended answer I'll claim has the backing of science."
"But you can't only answer questions formulated by yourself!"
"Sure I can; how do you think I've managed to stay married for so many years!?"
"But, like how you're ice cream eating while claiming that ice cream eating will destroy the planet; your refusal to answer difficult questions does not give me confidence in your assertion. Anyone who makes a claim, then says, 'The only other words I'll utter regarding the matter are words which basically mean the same thing as the words I just uttered,' should not be taken seriously."
"Don't eat that ice cream!" Mr. Gore would once again repeat.
Mr. Gore says high levels of electricity consumption and the flying of airplanes will destroy the environment. But he doesn't give up rides on private jets and recently purchased a gigantic home which runs on, you guessed it, electricity.
Mr. Gore won't debate anyone with a differing opinion regarding global warming.
Per the usual; a Democrat is advancing his or her agenda by lying to the world. If he was telling the truth, he would welcome questions from all dissenters. If he was telling the truth, he'd say, "Bring on the doubters; I'll convince them with facts and logic until none remain standing."
And this particular Democrat is making a fortune off his fellow partisans who happily purchase the manure he proudly slings.
"Thank you sir, may I have another," should be the perennial slogan of the Democrat Party.
