Fresh Insanity From The Goracle

Not one to let endless ridicule deter him in his quest to become the biggest planetary laughingstock, today Al Gore has found yet something else endangered by global warming: pension funds.

No word on how cockroaches with pension funds are affected, but give him time.

UPDATE: Taranto delivers this gem.
Q: There's a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about global warming and get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What's the right mix?

Gore: I think the answer to that depends on where your audience's head is. In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.
Read the rest of both pieces.
