It would seem that the sale of Current TV and the recent closure of the NY Times Environmental Desk are coincidental. Or are they? Over at PJMedia, Ed Driscoll has some interesting thoughts.

Ed Driscoll- Al Gore has declared Mission Accomplished for environmentalism.

Which brings us to this news:

The environmental desk at the NY Slimes is shutting down. Could it be that the environmental desk reporters were taking their queues from the high priest of Gore himself? Is that the reason for the closure?

Since the high priest of Gore has abandoned his “religion” there seems to be no need for others to stay in that religion.

The timing of the closure is interesting considering the recent sale of Current TV by the Goracle and his ambulance-chasing partner Joel Hyatt to a Islamofacist Jew-Hating org that is being financed in large part by ME oil. Sacrilege !!!

In any case, Inside Climate News reports the following:

Inside Climate News – The New York Times will close its environment desk in the next few weeks and assign its seven reporters and two editors to other departments. The positions of environment editor and deputy environment editor are being eliminated. No decision has been made about the fate of the Green Blog, which is edited from the environment desk.

Ed Driscoll – Eliminated. Done. Over. Kaput. And if the Green Blog is not being edited by a non-existent environment desk, the blog may just go away, too — or end up lightly managed by a Times editor who is paid and pressured by a dying paper to do the important work of the newspaper. Any way you want to spin it, America’s “paper of record” no longer considers alarmist, sky-is-falling coverage of the climate and energy beats worthy of the full-court press of a dedicated staff. Go figure.

Ed Driscoll continues with a few quotes from James Delingpole:

At Ricochet, Britain’s James Delingpole piles on: “New York Times Closes Its Environment Desk. Please, Nobody Laugh.” That desk has been the launching pad for “some of the most compelling and moving news stories of the last four years:”

Among them:

Every time you take an unnecessary shower a baby polar bear dies.

No, it’s getting hotter. Really, it’s getting hotter. Dr James Hansen says so and he works at NASA.

Just because global warming stopped in 1997 doesn’t mean it’s not going to start again, no sirree – and when it does it will be worse, much, much worse.

Al Gore: why selling my environmental channel Current TV to oil-funded Jew-haters for $100 million was the morally right thing to do.

Good riddance to the greenie propaganda desk at the Slimes.

But what about Gaia’s high priest the Rev Al?

And to think this man was a hanging chad away from being our President. This was the year that they started perfecting their election fraud and it took them a decade to get it completely right.

Where would we be now with him in the Blight House? (I call it that because Obama is half Black, half White) We wouldn't even be able to breathe out without being taxed for it.

Al didn't change his religion, he has always worshipped "green" - it's just the green he worshipped was money, the only ones he fooled was his followers.

He was a failure as a VP and blamed Clinton for not being able to run as president. Who would want this hypocrite anyway. Al Jazeera has ties to Al Quaeda, we all know that. GORE IS A TRAITOR TO HIS OWN COUNTRY!

Air Head Gore seems like a pretty good nickname.

Fairy Tale Gore is also a good one, since he promotes fantasies and myths on a global scale.

I guess every hypocrite has his or her price, and Al-Jazeera just reached Gore’s price. And to think that a lowlife like this was almost president of the United States is just mind blowing. But you know what Al Gore REALLY is? He is just your plain, everyday, liberal Democrat, full of hypocrisy, lies, scams, and fraud. He’s cut from the same cloth that John Edwards is, who, by the way, was almost Vice President under John Kerry. Hmmm, kind of tells you something about liberal Democrats, doesn’t it?

Well, Algore and the NYT don't need to push the AGW any longer: they've got the governments of the Western industrialised countries tied into the 'save-the-planet' renewables schemes, so that our countryside is plastered with bird shredders, so that we all are paying through the nose for 'green' policies, with higher energy prices mandated, destroying our economies.

That's what they wanted - that's what they've got. Mission accomplished.

Remember: no government has ever scrapped a tax. Just because we're taxed for something which was a scam is no reason to stop now.

Oh - you thought it was really about saving the planet, and preventing us all frying?

Think again - it was about money, for them, not for us, and about control, control over us.

Yeah - mission accomplished.

Two things: 1.) Al-Jazeera has made it wealth by oil. They're entire exsistance is owed to the ground: 2.) they're entire premise is to destroy no matter what. They seek out those that do not think or behave in the manor that they thing every one on the planet should. As a result, since 1978 when given over 4 billion in tax dollars by the Great peanut picker himself: they are guilty of no less than 1,000,000 lives by torture and killing. For those of you whom think life is priceless: the addition is $4000 per life that this tyrannical terrorist faction has caused death and destruction for better than 35 years all by the way of oil. In reality the oil belongs to us. We paid for it. To find it, to set up the drilling platform and so on. So lets abolish Al-Jazeera, Hamas, The Jihad and any whom would care to destroy us simply for who we are. In other words folks. Lets rid our world of the insane fascist that has been killing and pillaging for over 6000 years.

That would an illegal order if he tries to carry that out. And secondly it would be murder, in which case a citizen still retains the right to defend himself/herself. As far as training is concerned, I'm sure there are plenty of veterans in his neck of the woods with more firearms training than most of his cops or him. Not a good idea Mr PC Police Chief.

Maybe someone finally got through to his head that "global warming" is drawing conclusions about a (6000/4.3 billion, whichever you prefer) year old Earth from 100 years. I don't really think that's a representative sample of the Earth's history...especially when you consider that for the last 11 years global temps have actually decreased slightly.

The real environmental issues we need to worry about include [forced] pollution...of brains with left-wing political doctrines.

Once upon a time an act of utter betrayal of one's country was called TREASON!

Because the Trading with the Enemy Act and similar statutes apply specifically to other nations in times of war, their provisions do not apply easily to dealings between citizens of the United States and members of terrorist organizations. After the September 11th Attacks were perpetrated by terrorist organizations against the United States, Congress enacted the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (usa patriot act) (Pub. L. No. 107-56, 115 Stat. 277) in order to strengthen the ability of the United States to protect itself from terrorist activities. The USA Patriot Act amended the existing statutory provisions permitting the president to restrict transactions and other transfers with foreign countries, organizations, and persons in order to respond to unusual and extraordinary threats against the United States. Here for example is where Obowme could have and should have stopped this transaction. Well he would have if he was anything but a muslim.

So somewhere in the new laws passed after 9/11/2001 Al The Goracle should be held accountable but most likely only by God and not our cowardly government.

Of course, no one on the left will bat an eye that he sold his soul to radical Muslims and let them gain a bigger foothold in this country.
