At least that’s the message I took away from this new cartoon at Al’s very own Earth-savin’ Current.com:
Ha ha! See, because Glenn Beck is always running around yammering about threats that are supposedly just around the corner, and yet strangely nebulous. The more you look into his claims, the less sense they make. You’re just supposed to shut off your brain and go on pure emotion. And if you don’t see things his way, you’re just a denier, man. He’s like, “What, do you want us all to die? Just shut up and do what I say. The socioeconomic science is settled!”
Thank Gaia we’ve got Al Gore to calm us down and reassure us that this “end of the world” junk is just cynical scaremongering to get some attention and make a fast buck. I mean, those guys have a whole channel devoted to this apocalyptic drivel. Can you believe it?
Al Gore and Current TV say: Everything’s gonna be alright.
(Seriously, I’m not trying to throw the final Deceiver Madness vote. But this guy just keeps doing this stuff.)
Update: From the Variety notice about Current’s launch in 2005: “Current TV’s executives said the network has no political agenda and will be resolutely nonpartisan.” Guess it depends on what the definition of “resolutely” is.

I don’t get it.
I have to wonder: Did Al Gore take many, many blows to the head at some point in his early childhood? Because that South Park episode is looking less and less like parody and more and more like a documentary.
Gore is a hypocrital partisan tool. Live it up fatboy. When the apocalypse comes you will be found wanting. And just to be nonpartisan, Glen Beck is off his rocker. Nice guy, but a little nuts.
I’ve never seen the Glen Beck show, but I’ve seen the ratings. Al’s just pissed because more people watch the Glen Beck Show every day then have ever even heard of Current TV, or .com or whatever it’s called now.
Take that Rob Reiner!
Is it just me, or is Jesus played by Chuck Norris?
Damnit! I told my Sunday school teacher that Christ must’a had kung-fu action grip.
But nooooo, she didn’t believe me. Shows her!
Al Gore is the “CRAZY” LUNATIC one.
HE’S THE ONE SHOUTING IN ALL HIS GUTS THAT THE EARTH IS DOOMED… THE EARTH IS HEATING UP…. THE OCEAN WILL RISE…. THE VOLCANOES WILL ERUPT…. THE PLANTS WILL DIE…. LA NINA…. EL NINO…. HURRICANES…. ETC.
CLIMATE CHANGE.CLIMATE CHANGE…. CLIMATE CHANGE.
That’s lunacy.
Somehow even this CARTOON SPOOF IS MORE RATIONALE THAT THE DEMOCRAT LUNATIC GORE.
NUFF SAID.
Wow, they are sooooooo jealous of the ratings that Fox News is getting now. That little cartoon was pathetic and completely not clever, did it make anyone even chuckle a little bit? And the irony of Al Gore’s site making fun of someone touting doom-and-gloom predictions is delicious. Good find!
Al Gore must have heard that GOOP tried to show him up, so he had to come out of hiding. Either that or he felt left out.
Hey, have I told you that it is 39 degrees here in Ohio today and snowing Al?
Yeah, and here in Devil’s Anus, southwest Georgia, it’s 57 degrees. In April. When it’s usually about as cool and refreshing as Joy Behar’s furry armpits.
We’re right at about normal for springtime in SE England at a balmy 61 degrees Farenheit. It’ll go down to the usual 39 degrees when the sun goes down.
I think AAW is right. Al is all pissed off that GOOP got so much attention when he wants to be the one to tell everyone how to live, dammit!
Okay Beige, you owe me a new monitor for spitting water at your comment on that women’s armpits.
I wonder how many carbon footprints were made in the process of making this cartoon?
32 with 7″ on the ground right now in my part of Michigan.
Yesterday hubby and I were out standing on our dock, wishing like hell that we’d purchased the extra leg extenders. Last year the dock stood proud of the lake surface by about a foot, this year the water’s licking the underside of the platform. Damn scary, because the rainy season hasn’t even started yet.
When Gore visited Detroit last June, he rambled on and on about how our lakes and wetlands were drying up. Poor us, the new desert of the midwest.
Does anyone know if long dock legs are funded under the stimulus?
Minnow, is your dock part of the “Bridge to nowhere”? Then, it is, if not, and you are up to date on your taxes, then you are out of luck. Sorry!
Up here in Fairbanks we fervently pray for global warming, actually. It gets cold here. Had one of our coldest winters this year, in fact. Regularly dipped below the double 40. …So, if I oppose Al Gore on the grounds that doing so means I can actually go swimming during the summer without getting hypothermia, does that mean I’m on Glenn Beck’s side?
Which is why according to Al we only had 10 years to save the planet until we all burned up and died… according to the handy-dandy countdown for this on Rush’s homepage, we only have 6 years, 9 months, 20 days, and 21 hours left.
Beyond that, I agree — it’s all ratings. Fox is the only channel gaining people, all the other cable news channels are dropping them.
It took me about half the video to realize that this wasn’t something that Beck made to make fun of himself.
Have you ever watched the show? He makes fun of himself about this kind of stuff all the time. The only difference is that his self-critiques are usually smarter and less crass than this.
It’s 45 degrees in Atlanta today (and probably for the next three) very cold for the ATL this time of year. WHERE’S MY GLOBAL WARMING ALBERT?!
“He betrayed us! He played on our fears!”
Algore. What an ass.
Hey, jenn, I’m in Atlanta too, at 85 and Shallowford. Is Algore in town?
Um…is the bondage/hockey guy some wish-fulfillment on ManBearPig’s part? Is he trying to tell us something?
Oh you can deny all you like to, but in the end you have to face the realty which is they don’t give out Noble Prises and Ocsars for being Wrong!! Al Gore and the Scientists of the world are just a little smarter than you wingers, I’d have to beg to say, and after we all ready reach the Tipping Pt and cant go back, then you will all be sorry and be calling on AlGore and the Scientists to help you get away from being all hot and wet but then it will be to late and they won’t be able too and they won’t even want too, because of you denying and every thing and fundcuts. But you will sure be sorry then you will see science really was settled all along just the way it is. Some cool days and highwater and snow know&then dont mean climate is not in change, in fact just “The oppsite”, hello it’s ALASka been cold there long time, even still mans deprdating tilted The Planet and will be getting plenty hotter soon you see.
klimaat chngr sure seems like one of the smart ones. The debate is obviously over for him/her.
It’s pretty easy to convince a seventh grader I guess.

I sometimes wonder if people are so enraged at this whole “go green or you’ll die of global warming” thing because they truly believe that it’s utterly stupid (which it is) or because they just don’t want to change their habits and their way of life…I, for one, am so lazy ( and spiteful, too, but mostly, lazy) I wouldn’t change a damn thing in my life to “green it up” even if the global warming was real.
@klimaat chngr
Please, tell us how you feel about it.
I love it when people call you a moron, then make a complete ass of themselves. If that wasn’t a joke from one of our regulars, it’s pretty damn sad.
“even still mans deprdating tilted The Planet and will be getting plenty hotter soon you see.”
What the hell is that even supposed to mean? We TILTED the planet? What, did all of China get out and push? Better run that past your ‘Scientists’, except of course NASA, who will be pretty damn embarrassed the Earth moved out of it’s orbit without them noticing. By the way, what’s with the weird capitalization? Tipping Point (spelling corrected), The Planet, ect. ‘Scientists’ I can understand, as you must capitalize that as one would the word God, since they are all-knowing and infallible.
My favorite is when people compare global warming deniers to those who used to say the world was flat, and they all have a hearty laugh at our stupidity. The unfortunate thing they overlook is who was saying the world was flat? The ‘Scientists’ of their day! All the crap that we laugh about now was at one time considered scientific fact, never forget that. And I don’t wanna hear that science as we know it is new, I majored in Ancient Mediterranean History, and the Greeks and Egyptians have been practicing what we consider science in much the same way for thousands of years. Hell, an Arab scientist figured out the world was round (and even estimated it’s circumference, getting VERY close) by measuring the length of shadows LONG before we got the message in the west.
Again, I don’t deny we’re getting warmer, but like most people who ignore the hysteria, I believe it’s a natural cycle. Digs all over Europe have proven that the climate was warmer during the period roughly encompassing the heyday of the Roman Empire. A professor of mine was on a dig in Northern England where they discovered extensive vineyards in areas grapes could never flourish today because of the local climate. This is just one of many examples that point to us coming out of a mini-iceage rather than entering a period of excessive heat.
zefal, stop whoring for comments on your own video, not cool
zefal wouldn’t approve my intelligent insightful appropriate comments on his video awww
Awww, man, I HATE facing “the realty”. You got your upkeep, you got your homeowner’s insurance, your closing costs, your inspection fees…
Honestly. Before you try arguing with someone, make sure you can frame and express thoughts. Or have them. That’s a good start.
And “Did all of China get out and push” was the best laugh I’ve had so far today. “Tilt! You must tilt vigorously, for the glory of the Motherland!”
You know Scott F the getting out and push idea ain’t a bad one. Let’s see if we got everyone on the leftside (no not that left, the other left) of the Earth to jump at the same time….
“you have to face the realty which is they don’t give out Noble Prises and Ocsars for being Wrong!!”
Do you mean the Nobel Prize?
Uh yeah, because the Nobel committee is the supreme arbiter of established fact.
I was curious, so I looked it up. Excluding Nobels for economics which are quite frequently disproven, here’s a sampling of Nobel mistakes:
1909 Physics: Marconi (radio) Tesla & Edison had earlier patents
1918 Chemistry: Haber (synthasizing ammonia) all testing performed on Jewish subjects
1923 Medicine: Banting & McCloud (insulin) not the first to find or use it.
1936 Physics: Anderson (positrons) the Chinese found them 10 years earlier
1938 Physics: Fermi (radioactive elements) he was accidentally creating the elements he “found”
1939 Physics: Hahn (nuclear fission) takes credit for Lisa Meitner’s work. Meitner was disqualified for the award because she was a woman and she was Jewish.
1945 Medicine: Fleming (penicillin) he “rediscovered” it
1949 Medicine: Moniz (frontal lobotomy) need I say more?
1956 Physics: Shockley (transistors) a design which didn’t work then, doesn’t work now
1973 Medicine: von Frisch (dancing bees) disproven
1973 Peace: Kissinger (Vietnam) accepted his award while bombing Cambodia
1974 Physics: Ryle & Hewish (pulsars) a theory proposed by their female grad student
1975 Medicine: Baltimore (immunology) proven wrong
1992 Peace: Menchu. Based on an faked autobiography
1993 Medicine: (gene splicing) awarded to only 2 of about 12 working on it at the time
1993 Chemistry: Mullis (PCR technique for DNA) invented by others
1994 Peace: Peres, Arafat, Rabin. Brought peace to the middle east. Yeah!
1997 Medicine: (prions) invalidated theory
2008 Medicine: Hausen (HPV vaccine) he works for Astrozenica. AZ holds the patent on HPV vaccines. 2 AZ board members are on the Nobel committee. AZ also funds part of the Nobel prize money.
But hey, maybe the Noble Prises have a better record of accuracy than the Nobel’s.
Minnow – you are a fountain of knowledge. I just went back up and read the tyraid again and dang it if my head does not hurt from reading it. Ever heard of punctuation, spelling and grammar?
“Tilt! You must tilt vigorously, for the glory of the Motherland!”
I roared with laughter and scared my child who happened to walk into the room at that very moment…poor girl
Al Gore and Glenn Beck deserve each other. Let them wrestle with each other in a STAR TREK vapor lock or something for all eternity.
I’m with Scott – I think klimaat chngr’s post has “late April Fools Post” written all over it.
Well, if it was meant to be clever, sorry, but it had “The oppsite” effect.
See what I did there?
I KNEW those Flintstones Chewables would sharpen me up, there.
