Al Gore explains the real reason behind the pro-smoking ban agenda

Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!" according to Al (pal) Gore.

Well, why didn't they just say so in the first place? I would have gladly gotten on board the smoking ban agenda if I had known that it caused global warming...............not!

These activists are nuttier than a fruitcake.......desperately grasping at straws.......and now they've got Al pal on their side.

I wonder if Al pal would consider this American Cancer Society AQ study and its comparison to OSHA regulations an "inconvenient truth?"

Looking at the bloated former VP, my guess is that his "carbon footprint" is significantly large, and he probably contributes more to global warming than cigarette smoke does.

And in fact, as I've stated in an earlier article:

Like smoking ban junk science, many environmentalists are going too far in their misguided agenda, which seems to be to scare the media and the sleeping public into pandemonium for continued research grants and financial donations.

From this NASA site documenting the effect that upper level pollution from volcanic eruptions have on our climate comes this statement:

What is the mechanism wherby volcanic eruptions (and upper level pollution) can make the Earth cooler? The volcanic clouds that reach into the stratosphere are composed of particulates and gases, ...... Millions of tons of .......... particles (referred to as aerosols), which reflect energy coming from the Sun back to space. This solar energy is therefore not available to heat the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. (resulting in global cooling).

There you go, Al seems to have his facts wrong again. He didn't invent the internet and cigarette smoke doesn't cause global warming.
