RUSH: Yes, yes, of course we are going to review Live Earth, but not for a whole lot of time, folks, because it was a bomb. It was an absolute disaster. I think the whole Live Earth thing ended up being a joke. It didn\u2019t move anyone. They had a whole bunch of sixties relics showing up. These bands that were there — I told you this — there was no A-listers on the whole bill. What was hilarious is in Johannesburg, they explained the low turnout for global warming was because of the cold! Cold weather and snow the week before kept people away from Johannesburg. Now, how laughable can you get? That\u2019s the kind of thing that they\u2019re saying. Gore is just snake bit on this kind of stuff. We\u2019ll have some comments from some of the ‘artists,\u2019 like Cameron Diaz urging people to take showers together. I\u2019d take a shower with her, but not for global warming, and that would be it. I\u2019m outta there. In New Jersey, over the Meadowlands, there was a plane carrying a banner that said, ‘Don\u2019t believe Al Gore.\u2019 (laughs) People are not buying this, for some reason. It\u2019s probably the power of me, the man running America, who made this a singular crusade. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: An interesting move that John Dingell is going to make. The New York Times had the story on Saturday. ‘Counting on Failure, Energy Chairman Floats Carbon Tax — A powerful House Democrat said on Friday that he planned to propose a steep new ‘carbon tax\u2019 that would raise the cost of burning oil, gas and coal, in a move that could shake up the political debate on global warming. The proposal came from Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and it runs directly counter to the view of most Democrats that any tax on energy would be a politically disastrous approach to slowing global warming.\u2019 That\u2019s not what they\u2019re afraid of! They don\u2019t want to propose any massive new tax increases right now before the election. Raising taxes is specifically what global warming is all about. That\u2019s how you and I are to be punished for the ‘sins\u2019 that we have committed in causing climate change and planetary destruction. <\/p>\n

Now, Mr. Dingell ‘suggested that his goal was to show that Americans are not willing to face the real cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. His message appeared to be that Democratic leaders were setting unrealistic legislative goals. ‘I sincerely doubt that the American people will be willing to pay what this is really going to cost them,\u2019 said Mr. Dingell, whose committee will be drafting a broad bill on climate change this fall. ‘I will be introducing in the next little bit a carbon tax bill, just to sort of see how people think about this,\u2019 he continued. ‘When you see the criticism I get, I think you\u2019ll see the answer to your question.\u2019 The idea behind a carbon tax is to provide an incentive to reduce the use of fossil fuels like oil and coal, which are loaded with carbon, and increase the use of cleaner, renewable fuels like solar power, wind and…\u2019 None of those are going to matter. This is all bogus. There\u2019s a little something going on behind the scenes here that the New York Times doesn\u2019t reference, but I, with my superior, highly trained broadcast specialist memory will remind you that Nancy Pelosi created a special global warming committee and left Dingell off of it, and Dingell was a little miffed about that. (paraphrasing Pelosi) ‘We already have enough committees that deal with this. We have my committee to deal with this. We don\u2019t need a new one.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Pelosi did it for show, and maybe to sort of ace Dingell out. So there\u2019s a bunch of little things going on with this, but he\u2019s going to propose a massive carbon tax that nobody will support for the express purpose of proving that it won\u2019t work. I don\u2019t care what the New York Times says about Democrats don\u2019t think taxes are the way to deal with global warming (laughing), that\u2019s just irresponsible. That\u2019s journalistic malpractice. Of course they do. They can\u2019t wait to sunset the tax cuts that Bush inaugurated, and they can\u2019t wait to raise taxes — which actually letting his tax cut sunset and die is the equivalent of a tax increase, if they\u2019re not made permanent, and they want to even raise the capital gains rate from 15 to 20, maybe even 25%. The Times nevertheless says here that ‘most Democrats are staunchly opposed,\u2019 to Dingell\u2019s idea, ‘saying that a [carbon] tax would raise the costs of travel, commuting and heating and cooling homes, and that it would be wildly unpopular at a time when voters are already angry about high energy costs. Republicans, they said, would seize on any such proposal as proof that Democrats were bent on raising taxes and increasing the size of government,\u2019 which they are. It\u2019s in their DNA. That\u2019s not even arguable. It\u2019s undeniable. <\/p>\n

Raise taxes? That\u2019s what they live to do — and not to raise revenue, but to control you, to control as much of your life as possible. But, look, here we\u2019ve got this big global warming move going on out there, which I really do think is dying a slow death. I think it may actually be blowing up. The numbers for NBC Saturday night, primetime, they had three hours of coverage of Live Earth, were dismal, but it\u2019s so preliminary, let me use my highly trained broadcast specialist skills because I understand ratings numbers. Let me… All right. This is the Hollywood Reporter: an estimated 2.7 million viewers for Live Earth on NBC Saturday night. Folks, that translates to a rating here of a 1.8 rating four share. Fox won the night with a 3.60. These numbers are so low, I don\u2019t know if these are total audience or numbers in the demographic. But either way, it\u2019s horrendous. The demographics, 25-54, that\u2019s the demographic they\u2019re shooting for — well, maybe 18-54, 18-34. But regardless whether it\u2019s total audience or in the demo, it\u2019s pathetic. They came in third place. A rock concert, Saturday night, save the earth and all that! So global warming, I think we\u2019ve helped beat it back. We\u2019re not going to stop, either, but I don\u2019t want to wear you out on it so we\u2019re not going to be talking about it all the time. <\/p>\n

But this line here that ‘a carbon tax would raises the cost of travel and commuting\u2019? Isn\u2019t that what all these wacko environmentalists have been demanding? They want high fuel prices. They should be happy the gas price is going back up. They should be happy to support a carbon tax. Because they think we need to be driving less we need to be commuting less. We all need to be riding around in these stupid, inadequate light rail systems, ugly little beasts, pointless little beasts; that we ought to be doing all this conservation. We ought to be building windmills and putting solar panels on the roof. Isn\u2019t that what they want us to do? Now all of a sudden Dingell is going to raise the tax and we\u2019ll get it done, and Democrats are running for the hills on this? I guarantee you this: if global warming had taken hold and it was something the American people were steadfastly in support of, then this would be something everybody would not be afraid of. But the fact that the Democrats realize a tax increase right now, a called-for tax increase — especially on energy — would not be politically opportune… See, this is the kind of stuff where I guarantee you somebody is going to take Dingell back behind the cloakroom door and go, Whack! Whack!<\/p>\n

‘John, John, John, this is the kind of stuff we do two months after we win the White House. We don\u2019t do this a year and a half before the election. We do this when we win the White House, John. What are you doing?\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Well, you took my committee away from me.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun to watch some of this. The point is the Democrats are not in all this steadfast unity at all. Now, let\u2019s say that the Republicans were in the House. Let\u2019s say that — take your pick — any Republican committee chairman of the same committee, proposed the same thing, carbon tax increase just to show the American people are unwilling to do what it takes. The headlines would not be ‘Counting on Failure, Energy Chairman Floats Carbon Tax.\u2019 The headline of the New York Times would something along the lines of, ‘Carbon Tax Proposed Would Devastate the Elderly, Especially in the Northeast.\u2019 Women and minorities would be hardest hit. Nobody would be able to get to work. No matter where they live it would be horrible news. This piece simply analyzes whether the timing is right (laughing), when it\u2019s the Democrats proposing it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports<\/a>: ‘The Live Earth concert promoted by former vice president Algore received lots of media coverage and hype, but most Americans tuned out. Just 22% said that they followed news reports about the concert somewhat or very closely; 75% didn\u2019t follow coverage of the event.\u2019 Folks, this is bigger than you know, worldwide rock concerts. You know, rock concerts in troubling political times are maggots for every anti-establishment cause that the kooks that believe in these things hold, and they didn\u2019t try to take over and make it an anti-war message, and it just fizzled. It bombed. NBC had barely 2.7 million viewers on Saturday night. That\u2019s in the neighborhood of Fox News on cable! It was a total stiff. ‘By way of comparison, 80%, eight in ten voters routinely said that they were following news coverage of the Senate debate over immigration; 54% said they followed news coverage of the president\u2019s decision to commute Scooter Libby\u2019s sentence.\u2019 Seventy-five percent did not follow coverage of Live Earth, and I\u2019m not surprised, because we didn\u2019t spend much time on it here, and some of the morning shows — Good Morning America and the Today show — did the obligatory stuff with Gore on, but it just didn\u2019t captivate people. <\/p>\n

As I mentioned earlier, the lowest attendance I think was in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the low attendance there was blamed on cold! The concert organizer said, ‘Extremely cold weather kept people away from the concert.\u2019 Extremely cold weather keeping the people away from a global warming concert! Now, the global warming people, they\u2019re going to be changing this. They\u2019re going to get rid of ‘global warming,\u2019 if they can. They\u2019re going to make it ‘climate change,\u2019 because if they say ‘climate change,\u2019 then they\u2019ll be able to say that any (which they already do) extreme weather — hot, cold, dry, whatever it is — is because of ‘climate change,\u2019 global warming. Then there\u2019s a great quote from Georgie Simpson from Ipswich in eastern England, who was at the Wembley Stadium Live Earth. ”I\u2019m not even sure who Gore is,\u2019 said Georgie Simpson, 35. ‘I saw Gore on TV,\u2019 said Sue Bourner, 38, a health service manager from Hampshire, ‘But, frankly, I think it\u2019s the pretty cheeky of Americans to come over here to Britain and lecture us. They are the worst polluters.” So the people are going to Wembley, and they get mad at Gore for coming over and preaching to the Brits about global warming! (laughing) Here\u2019s Gore, introducing the concert\u2019s kickoff in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n

ALGORE: Hello, Sydney!<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (silence)<\/p>\n

ALGORE: I\u2019m excited to join you live to kick off Live Earth. You are the very first of two billion people who are coming together today on all seven continents to help solve the climate crisis — and, of course, we\u2019re all here to launch a multiyear campaign of action. I hope you will take the first step by signing Live Earth\u2019s seven-point pledge.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa! The Live Earth seven point pledge! I wonder, what is that?<\/p>\n

ALGORE: ‘I pledge to demand that my country join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide, in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth. I pledge to take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution and offsetting the rest to become carbon neutral. I pledge to fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without safely trapping and storing the CO2. I pledge to work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape! Remember, now… You gotta remember who the audience is. Gore\u2019s out there on stage, and you have a bunch of long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking, FM-types out there just wanting to rock on, and here\u2019s this dull, dry, old guy trying to look young in a black T-shirt and blue jeans, going through this seven-point pledge!<\/p>\n

ALGORE: — of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation. I pledge to fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal. I pledge to plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests, and I pledge to buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the Twenty-First Century.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) this is indescribable. This is just hilarious. By the way, a little weather update here from Jakarta, Indonesia: ‘Poisonous fumes from an Indonesian volcano killed six school children who were camping on the mountain and sickened several others, a doctor said yesterday. The incident happened Saturday, close to one of the two craters on the Salak volcano which lies just south of the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. Families of the victims refused permission to perform autopsies.\u2019 We need to ban this. Volcanic fumes kill six children in Indonesia! That\u2019s immediate death. We need to ban this volcanic Fumes. They Kill — and then you just heard Gore say that they need to sign this treaty that ‘cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide, in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth.\u2019 I have a column here, and it\u2019s an opinion from Kampala in Africa. The website is AllAfrica.com, and this is an editorial piece by Kofi Bentil, and it\u2019s in a newspaper called The Monitor: ‘It\u2019s Live Earth Versus Africa<\/a>.\u2019 I\u2019m not going to read the whole thing, but some of this is classic. <\/p>\n

‘Few people in Africa will get to see Al Gore and his troupe of rock-star ecologists strutting their stuff during the series of Live Earth concerts this weekend — because most have neither television nor electricity. That\u2019s just as well, because they would be aghast at LiveEarth\u2019s bizarre message. In Africa, we have much more serious things to worry about than climate change. Indeed, if they achieve their objective the concerts will have done harm to the people of Africa. Britain\u2019s former Secretary of State for the Environment, David Miliband, recently said that the rest of the world cannot aspire to the UK\u2019s standard of living because: ‘If the world were to have the same living standards as we have in the UK, then we\u2019d need three planets to support us.\u2019 Presumably Mr Miliband would disagree with Indira Ghandi, who famously said, ‘poverty is the greatest polluter.\u2019 Miliband was replaced by Hilary Benn, who as Minister for International Development ran the Department for International Development (DfID). One might have thought that [that department] would have supported economic development as a means of escaping from poverty and pollution. <\/p>\n

‘But in its Rough Guide to a Better World it advocates ‘Development by Dung\u2019 and claims that ‘As poor countries develop, it is essential that they do not follow the same failed patterns of energy use.\u2019 So it\u2019s dung not diesel for Africa — while India and China soar ahead because they are too big, and nuclear-armed, to stop. Even if we accept that global warming may have a significant effect on our climate, limiting the use of fossil fuels in Africa would be counterproductive. Respiratory infections are the leading cause of childhood deaths on my continent, mainly from inhaling the smoke produced by burning wood and dung in our quaint mud huts. Why do we burn these ‘renewable\u2019 but very dirty fuels? Not because we have some desire to save the Earth. No, sir. It is because we don\u2019t have access to natural gas or electricity. The second leading cause of childhood deaths is not malaria or AIDS, it is diarrhoea [sic], caused by drinking dirty water. Why is our water dirty? Mainly because we lack cheap, efficient means of pumping and cleaning it. That requires fossil fuels — either directly or to produce electricity,\u2019 and the world doesn\u2019t want Africa to have any of that. ‘An underlying cause of many health problems in Africa is malnutrition. This is a consequence both of inefficient farming and poor food distribution. To rectify this situation will mean using cheap and relatively clean fuels, such as gasoline and diesel,\u2019 but if Live Earth were ever to succeed, we would never be able to do that. We would have to continue burning dung and wood! It\u2019s a great piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
