Gore Claims Fighting Global Warming is Like Fighting Hitler
46 states in the United States experienced all-time record low temperatures in the month of June. Independence Day was chilly. But Al Gore is over in England demanding that Brits need to marshal the political will they had during the Blitz to fight Hitler- only this time to fight a real scourge- mythical global warming.
From the TimesUK here:
Al Gore invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill yesterday when he urged political leaders to follow the example of Britain’s wartime leader in the battle against climate change.
The former US Vice-President accused governments around the world of exploiting ignorance about the dangers of global warming to avoid taking difficult decisions.
Speaking in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by The Times, Mr Gore said: “Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource.”
As Ed over at HotAir says, any comparisons to Hitler in an argument is a lame attempt at justifying an argument which usually lacks merit based on fact. And on the Internet, it’s known as Godwin’s law, and the person invoking Hitler in an argument automatically loses.
