Bob Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy Corporation, spoke at the New York Coal Trade Association’s 94th annual banquet and meeting at the New York Hilton, where he said that Al Gore is “more dangerous than his global warming.” He nails it here:


Some wealthy elitists in our country, who cannot tell fact from fiction, can afford an Olympian detachment from the impacts of draconian climate change policy. For them, the jobs and dreams destroyed as a result will be nothing more than statistics and the cares of other people. These consequences are abstractions to them, but they are not to me, as I can name many of the thousands of the American citizens whose lives will be destroyed by these elitists’ ill-conceived ?global goofiness’ campaigns.
