"curbing greenhouse gas ( CO2 ) emissions"

Is that expected to significantly alter the earth's climate?

The Elite and Wealthy will of course be exempt from all the curbs through carbon credits. But the average Joe on the Street will be banned from driving, barbecues and heating his house all under the guise of 'protecting the environment'

Al Gore, the founder of the whole global warming movement has two 20-room mansions, but he wants the rest of us to turn off the lights and live by candlelight.

How about the Carbon footprint of Obama's wife being shuttled around on her shopping tours in a private jet. Obama should curb that gas first.

Complete rubbish.

NeverSubmit - "Al Gore, the founder of the whole global warming movement has two 20-room mansions, but he wants the rest of us to turn off the lights and live by candlelight."

Completely irrelvant illustration. It's the message, not the messenger that counts in this debate.

Another completely irrelvant illustration.

Sheesh, the paranoia! Hey, you forgot one - Al Gore and the other "tree huggers" are making millions from the "global warming myth"! Only problem is, people that make this absurd claim are - strangely - never able to back it up with facts!

What a joke.

It's the message, not the messenger that counts in this debate.

James Hansen wears an engraved Montres Rolex watch. They go for 8,000 dollars, or higher. But yes, it's his dire warnings of climate change we must focus on.

And don't you dare talk about the 1.6 million dollars he forget to declare:

"NASA records released to resolve litigation filed by the American Tradition Institute reveal that Dr. James E. Hansen, an astronomer, received approximately $1.6 million in outside, direct cash income in the past five years for work related to - and, according to his benefactors, often expressly for - his public service as a global warming activist within NASA."
