Mr. Gore’s tactics have been a little more subtle, and reminiscent of propaganda methods which have proved to be effective throughout history at influencing public opinion. Oneextreme views of any climate researcher when it comes to predicting a global warming induced Armageddon.

Listed below are ten propaganda techniques I have excerpted from Wikipedia. Beneath each are one or more examples of Mr. Gore’s rhetoric as he has attempted to goad the rest of us into reducing our CO2 emissions. Except where indicated, most quotes are from his testimony before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, March 21, 2007.

Chapter Sixteen: The Real Agenda

So if the climate science is wrong, what's the real motivation here? Why are so many people prepared to spend so much money convincing the public there's a secular Armageddon awaiting them?

Steven Chu, entertainingly described as an “Energy Secretary”, says we can Save the Planet from “global warming” by painting our rooftops and roads white. He says making roofs and roads paler would have the same effect as taking every automobile in the world off the road for 11 years.

Rush Limbaugh, entertainingly as always, but pointedly, asks –

 “Now, would somebody explain to me how he knows this? … If we can do something that will effectively remove the carbon emissions of every car on the road for 11 years, then why are we doing anything else?  Why are we doing cap and trade?  Why are we getting rid of SUVs?  … How much paint is this going to take, by the way? How much of a footprint does paint manufacturing leave?  … I need a scientist to answer this for me. I understand how clouds at altitude can help reflect the heat, but I want to know … where does that reflected heat go? … Are we being told here that reflected heat is not damaging at all, but direct heat is? It seems to me that, if we had ‘global warming’, wouldn’t we want dark roofs to absorb the heat?”
