The New York Times continues its painful-to-watch demise with this published hissy-fit from the ultra-feminine side of the prophet of the-sky-is-really-falling gloom, Al Gore. Have your hankies at the ready, ladies. Get your Pepto Bismol off the shelf, guys.
This piece of pure, dribbling, drooling emoting is going to either make you collapse in a torrent of tears or retch into the nearest barf bag. The only human beings on the planet to whom this editorial would appeal are a bunch of 13-year-old girls without a single clue between them.
With hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, Al is going all out to save his “investment” in global warming hysteria. Here, he comes up with histrionics befitting the amount of personal loss he stands to suffer.

His editorial begins:
It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.
“Attacks on the science of global warming”? Who is he kidding here? When people lie through their teeth to make obscene profits on the backs of working people, they deserve vociferous shaming and class action lawsuits. So far, all anyone has done in the way of “attacks” is to point out the lies and show the sham for what it always was – a vicious, selfish scam to get rich. Poppycock peddling, like snake-oil selling, has never been held in high esteem.
Al continues his “editorial” in the vein of an adolescent girl writing a please-don’t-leave-me-letter to her boyfriend of the month:
But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.
I couldn’t help but wonder, as I read this piece, whether Al was writing it from his mansion in Tennessee or from his carbon-big-foot mega-houseboat, the Bio-Solar One. Either way, the hypocrisy just doesn’t get any thicker than this screed.

Al goes on to point out the obvious threat to our national security (a desperate nod to his daily-shrinking male side, no doubt) in not becoming energy independent. The one gaping hole in this argument, however, is the need to drill-baby-drill on our own land and our own offshore wealth of oil deposits. Al fails to mention, too, that if we merely make use of our own technology and oil deposits, then we would have no need of Arab oil. Of course, it takes less than the reasoning capabilities of a tween to realize that if we drill instead of “investing” in all his alternative schemes, then Al will not become the world’s first carbon-credit billionaire.
So, it’s natural for Al Gore to continue his sky-is-falling diatribe. His life as a jet-setting, Nobel Peace Prize-sharing, Oscar-brandishing celebrity is on the line. Without the people’s diehard faith in his religion of global warming, Al will be forced to trade his lifestyle of the mega-rich-and-famous for an ignominious and expensive defense of never-ending lawsuits brought by enraged sucker governments and private investors.
Al filled the rest of his “piece” with stuff meant to sound reasonable. All of it, however, adds up to one thing and one thing only: Al Gore’s personal fortune is now on the line with stalled cap and trade legislation. He knows it and he’s going down with his self-made Titanic. The only question remaining is whether we will agree to go down with him.

He closes by quoting Churchill, which is where I had to drop my own hanky and run for the barf bag.
The difference between the threat Churchill and the free world faced with the Nazis and Al Gore’s get-rich-quick-scheme is apparent to anyone with even a grain of common sense. The Nazi threat was demonstrably real, demonstrably imminent and demonstrably cataclysmic. Churchill didn’t need a flock of grant-gobbling “scientists” ensconced in comfy academic sinecures to convince Londoners that bombs were wrecking their cities.
Al Gore, on the other hand, is propped up only by a bunch of lying, self-promoting “scientists,” a heap of corrupt politicians, a sycophantic media circus, the gasping-for-breath New York Times and a whole lot of signs that read: THE SKY REALLY, REALLY, REALLY IS FALLING!
What is the world coming to, when grown men who call themselves Americans, are reduced in public to fairytale-spewing girly-men?
Al, do America a favor and turn in your man card – pronto. If you don’t, then we real women of the U.S.A. are sending Sarah Palin over to collect it.

That column would have been an amusing read if it wasn't so painfully obvious that he was serious. Um, Earth to Al Gore? The American people really, really, really hate being lied to. That's what consigns otherwise decent ideas to the trash heap of rejected fantasies.
Energy independence is a must for our nation. I think he also neglected to mention that if enviro-fascists hadn't made it impossible to build nuclear plants or to drill for oil in this country, we probably would have been energy independent by now.

Gore once again has lost the ability to rule over the peoples of the world. With his loss as a presidential canidate we saw him go into a tizzy trying to get himself seated. Then the left continuing his tantrum for years saying the election was stolen, it has created a monster out of this little maniac. Could you imagine if Gore hadn't flunked out of divinity school what kind of cult leader this little b@$t@rd could have become? It's interesting the cult following he has created with his lies and his cronies lies on global warming…it makes ponder what he could have done with religion…scary….scary enough with the AGW. I am happy this crap is blowing up in his face….especially since he has never practiced what he preaches…now if you could excuse me, I think I am about to loose my lunch!
When can we be rid of Alice Gore and the NY(msnbc) times?
Maybe some electro shock therapy to bring him back to the "real world" …..
We should stick a fork in Alfred,But all that hot air would just make the oceans rise to an unacceptible height!
I know you know this, but Gore would have us living in grass huts if he had it his way. He is not interested beyond anyone but himself and the billions he might have made from his scam. Nukes would never be in his game plan, because they are to efficient and green. Just not Gore's shade of green…
Every time I see anything about Gore-Al I'm constantly reminded of the bit The Onion did about him – I'm just waiting to hear about the day he sends his only son off to another planet to save them.
Not probably, would have….
He invented the Al Gore Rhythm. It's mathematics – here's an example:
You have 2 and I have 176,000,000. If it gets too hot, you give me your 2 and then you feel cooler.
But KDH has some math of his own, it goes like this:
Al, you're a zero. Kiss my @ss. Come here and let me fart on you.
I just love saying MANBEARPIG.
The debate is over. The science is settled:
Al Gore is a fraud.
You know…….I could have fallen into the AGW crowd until I learned that
you could burn as much CARBON based fuel as you wanted to by simply
buying your CARBON CREDITS from "HONEST AL GORE'S CARBON CREDIT
EXCHANGE."
AGW HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT SAVING THE EARTH……………FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Excellent, excellent, excellent takedown. Thank you for writing this. I couldn't agree with you more, especially your closing sentence and the awesome, awesome photo of Madame 45
I wish the people who buy into this globull warming nonsense would just join scientology. This way they can toss their own money into the crapper and not mine.
Notice how they changed the name calling from global warming denialists to climate deniers.
Whosoever doth not believith in the religion of climate change, and it's messiah al gore, shall not publish, but have everlasting hatred.
That's exactly right. Follow the money indeed!
I think Gore is trying to set up his defense. He is going to answer for this fraud sooner or later– most likely after the Obama administration is out on its ear. Gore's only hope is to try to portray himself as a true believer and not the scam artist he really is. Hence the stridency of his little tirade.
Great article … right on target. One thing tho gang: yep it's about Money. But it's also about Power. Not that the two are mutually exclusive of course. Great shot of Sarah Palin BTW. And hey. Run, Sarah, Run!
As a scientist, a food scientist but still science, I looked at the data being put forth by those pro and con. The logic and pursuit of numbers from one side and emotion and rage from the other. Then, I looked at the amount of money various world government pumped into the study of this problem. I noted the amount of vitriolic hysteria piled upon voices that meakly said; "wait a moment". The science never did add up. It could not, as what was released was theoretical in nature, based upon minimal data points and computer conjecture. Which means that controling variables by limiting data that did not support your supposition was potentially eliminated. With the billions of dollars in government support at stake, the choice to game the system was too great to resist for some. These are not scientists, they are marketers. Data is to allowed to follow whatever course it will, then interpret the results. That is science. To flood the study with only data that supports your presupposed position is not science. It is propoganda.
If Al Gore is capable of shame, he would admit his concern was real, but his methods flawed. But being a liberal, he is incapable of shame. The rest of us need to remain vigilant.
I've been hoping for years I'd live long enough to see Algore exposed publicly and internationally as an idiot. Every day is a gift.
al has $$$ in his eyes…
my oh my. facts are really absent froom this hateful note. silly people.
Stop making fun of him, he's super serial!
Excelsior!
You can know people are serious about the climate when they have a small imprint. Gore flies around in his personal jet, living in a house that uses the same amount of energy as Pittsburg, but preaches that the rest of us need to live like energy paupers.
I can only imagaine how much Gore is squirming in private as he sees his fraud unvieled for all to see. He knows his time of having any shred of public respect is rapidly coming to an end, as is his money train.
I pray that he loses everything and goes down in history as a complete fool and fraud. He will if history judges correctly.
“what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption.”
Do you get that? First of all, he truly believes that we, as humans, have to “redeem” ourselves for using carbon-based fuels, as he sees it as “sin” against the earth. As such, this is proof positive that AGW activists like Gore see this as a religion.
But more dangerous is the statement in totality. In order to force “redemption”, he wants to use “the law”. This is Fascism 101. And he, and others, well-funded and in very powerful positions, mean this in the marrow of their bones and will not stop until they force their ways upon us or are utterly defeated and shamed.
And another thing…..the left constantly waxes on on how smart their “leaders” like Gore are. We dolts simply cannot comprehend what flows from their big, superior brains.
And yet that sentence “what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption.”, reveals even more: he simply doesn’t know the definition of the word “redemption”.
“Law” or the “Rule of Law” cannot be “used” or ever result in redemption because redemption is voluntary, and is an individual act. Redemption and even Penance cannot be forced.
Newsflash to all the folks think that famous lefties like Gore are so intelligent. He doesn’t know what the word means. He didn’t use it in the sentence in some way to “spin” the word or as a flourish. He doesn’t know what it means. Period.
It must be just a little frustrating to watch a billion $$$$$$$ slip through your hands, right Al?
You thought you had all the liberal stars finally aligned didn't you Al?
You had Big $$$ investors on board, lots of supporting "science", a test bed cap & trade scheme operating in Psycholand (aka California), liberal DemocratSS running Congress, a moron Democrat(SS) president eager to sign Cap & Trade, a nice private jet flying your fat ass around drumming up publicity, a sychophantic media lapping up your drivel like kittens at a milk bowl, and POOF!
It's GONE! It's OVER! You WHIFFED! The ball went threw the old wickets, Lucy pulled the football away! LOL!
I have said it before elsewhere- but I can't resist saying it again.
Given the quality of the science involved, and the fact that a single volcanic eruption releaces more greenhouse gas than all of mankind in a year – the obvious answer is that we pitch our best and brightest, Al Gore, into a volcano to appease the gods.
Let's remember that the US is energy independent with respect to electric power generation. Gore's program would eliminate that benefit by ceasing the use of coal fired generation which makes up something like 50% of our electric power generation base. Imported oil is a different issue, and has little to do with our electric power grid and capacity.
Hopefully, Gore will soon be in the same boat as 17% of the US Population…under/unemployed…
I'll really be overjoyed when DOJ starts serving him papers and searching his trash…
I'd say start with the recycling bins, but he doesn't have any…
In all seriousness, before Al Gore writes another article that gets printed in the New York Times, I think a full blown psycological work up is in order. I'd like to see the results of his Psychicatrist's testing published on the front page of the New York Times, above the fold.
I'm no authority, but from a laymans point of view, this sumbitch is clinically insane, and dangerous. He is still hearing the Bush defeat ringing in his ears…………..
Oh, man! I am really out of it. I had to Google manbearpig to get it. Hilarious!
Well, well, well, if it isn't our "hometown gurly gurl" Kyle-Anne! JohnC here in Alpharetta/Johns Creek wishing you the best. I have missed you on AT and I have been wondering what in the world had happened to you. Now I know and I am excited to again have the opportunity to enjoy your take on the times of our lives. Best of luck here at Big Journalism and I have one question, when is your book you have been working on going to be published? Oh, and like you, I can not wait for the day to see The Goracle standing in the dock having to answer for the financial fleecing that he and his partners in fraud have put the world through. I have to go now as I see that you have had been a busy gurly gurl here and I have some reading to catch up on. TAKE CARE!
The photo of Gore in a tux reminds me of nothing so much as a constipated penguin on LSD.
CO2 is .03% of our atmosphere, there are 5 times the amount of polar bears than in the 1970's, ice caps are melting on Mars,…. I hope Al invested all of his stolen fortune in the global warming scam and it goes down in flames.
imagine if gore was president. we'd be doomed faster than the obama schedule to doomsday.
Charlatan!
Al never has been the sharpest tool in the shed. He doesn't understand the slightest bit of science, and he doesn't understand economics. He does understand money, though.
Al, Al, Al. (said sorrowfully, while slowly shaking my head back and forth)
Lets see here, (71%) of the our planets surface is covered by water, 29.2 % is land.
Of that 29% humans occupy less than 1% of that area.
Of the remaining 28% about 40% is pure wilderness.
14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics.
9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas.
There may be other areas with a human footprint of some kind but it is insignificant in any relation to global warming. (or climate change or anything else that you decide to rename it)
Please, get some professional help.
Algore has done more to ruin America, Her way of life,and Her standard of living than any human being in the history of America. He should be tried for treason.
good bye Al, fake.
………….and all Al Gore understands about money, is that dear old Dad, Al Gore Sr. was Dr. Armand Hammers bagman at Occidental Petroleum. Gore Sr. ran the old Island Creek Coal Company for Hammer. That is where the first Gore family fortune came from. The second round of money came from the Gore Family Zinc Mine.
and the CO2 from that release, as in Mt. St. Helens, would have about ZERO effect on our climate. Only the SO2, ash and water vapor would create any sort of short term effect, and these would primarily cause cooling.
CharALton Gore, we see your house of cards burning beneath you.
Excellent job of describing algore the global idiot. I sincerely hope that his 3 decades of lying about the environment finally goes down in flames…. or as you described, like the Titanic!
I'm afraid the gods may reject him.
To all the Al Gore supporters, when he ran for president——-What would this country look like, if he would have won? Maybe it was meant for him to lose. Ole GEORGE BUSH is looking better and better, if compared with good ole Al and this phoney that is in the white house now. DRILL BABY DRILL.
See Sharon Osborne's article about fame. It is pointed toward youth, but it is also accurate to permanent adolescents like AlGore, who if he ever worked a day in his life would understand the bile that bubbles into the common man's mouth when his schemes emerge as clearly as they have in the past six months.
Is there a list somewhere of Gore's excess in lifestyle and the areas where he stands to make money off of global warming?
I couldn't decide which was more laughable–Gore's climate fantasies in the NYT or the NYT Magazine's piece today on Scott Brown. It's so transparent when the NYT and all the other going-down-the-tubes mainstream media portray Gore as someone even remotely trustworthy or credible. He is neither. Every American with even half a brain by now knows that when government (whether ex, current, or future) gets in bed with industry and "science," we're in for nothing but fraud and wasteful expenditures. Since Kyle=-Anne mentioned Sarah Palin, it's worth pointing out that just as they try to "elevate" Gore to his erstwhile "deity"-like status (I, too, barfed when I got to Churchill), they are simultaneously trying to "Sara Palinize" Scott Brown The NYT is too expensive to use as kindling, so I canceled my subscription a long time ago.
Another excellent article – Kyle Anne.
Looks like you have a great forum in "Big Journalism".
Continued success.
Now that I have stopped laughing and come to my senses, I will NOT try to top this! Don't think I could… Lucy pulled the football away! HAHAHA!!!
Where to begin to deconstruct this work of fiction by Al Gore. He calls us "climate skeptics" , hey I believe there is a climate, I just don't believe global warming alarmism. What was the cause of the Medieval warm period Al? There was no fossil fuel burning back then! And anyway, if there is a warming period to come, so what humankind didn't die off during the Medieval Warm Period! I can go on but……………..
We're gonna keep fighting these fraudsters as long as they live – it's fun.
The Al Gore ponzi scheme is unfolding now – this is just a desperate last-ditch effort to keep the media lackeys on side.
Shut up any sing Al – or whatever it is you do – and leave nature alone!
Toto…who is it behind that curtain?
Thanks for a well reasoned and balanced reply. To many people, who are experts in their own field, become enamored with their own genius and begin to believe they are somehow a public intellectual with answers to all problems and to many people are prone to fall for the supposed "expert" sitting in front of a camera or on the pages of a national publication. Glad to see that there are real experts in a particular field who have their feet firmly planted on terra firma. Good luck and thanks again.
Yes, the facts are absent in all the global warming fraud. Just a bunch of conjecture and hypotheticals. Keep drinking that kool-aid brian.
“The photo of Gore in a tux reminds me of nothing so much as a constipated penguin on LSD.” I haven’t read anything funnier or more accurate in quite a while!!
No thanks. We don't want him back.
C'mon, CL, we all know that if all people who wrote for the NYT had to pass psych-eval's, they'd have to close their doors. I just think that all of the people who still read that rag should get a small daily sample of prozac mailed with it.
Girly-Gore did incalculable damage to the uninformed American voter's opinion of the SCOTUS. As a lawyer, I know Bush v. Gore was a legitimate decision. By pretending to have been robbed by the election, Gore did much to further poison American politics. I do love the payback now being visited upon you Al, you piece of ****.
AlGoreRhythm?
Isn't that a mathematical formula?
Scott, Did you happen to catch the Nov. '09 "Costco Connection" magazine article by Al Bore, "The Choice Is Ours." When I finished puking I cancelled my Costco membership. The imbecile of an editor, David W. Fuller, went on to drool over Gore's accomplishments. I wonder if he feels like an idiot yet? Somehow I doubt it!!! Most Sincerely, Derol F. Briscoe, author of "Change or The Emporer Has No Clothes."
Short of the MSM and other Libertards…who respected him.
I lost any respect for him when he didn't man-up and just walk away after loosing to 2000.
What algore fails to realize is that if they pass global warming legislation, us children and grandchildren really will consider the "boomers" to be criminals because they'll be stealing our future (prospects, profits, and freedom) before it even gets a chance to start. Maybe it'll take a decade or two, but the rest of the millenials will come to realize this as well.
My thought as to why both left and right attack Palin is that so many on both sides have bought into the Global Warming hysteria, and have invested accordingly. They know that if she gets elected, it could very well result in financial loss and even ruin for many of them, as Palin would undoubtedly eliminate any funds going to Global Warming research, etc. It would be interesting to take a look at the stock portfolios of George Will, David Brooks, Peggy Noonan, Kathleen Parker, etc. We know for a fact McCain has bought Global Warming, so has Pawlenty, and Romney.
And you said, "We dolts simply cannot comprehend what flows from their big, superior brains"
Oh yeah, we know, it's what us dolts in Texas call S**T for Brains!
We Won't know that unless we try…..
Uh, could you expand on that? I am not even sure who you are mad at.
He and his investors (co-conspirators) were to provide the "infrastructure" that allow for the smooth (and criminal) implementation of the nationwide U.S. Cap & Trade system (scheme).
The amount of CO2 emitted would be measured and the and the right to "pollute" would be traded amongst various indutrial and business entities, blah, blah, blah…
All of his plan (scheme) is void wihout a Federal law MANDATING the implementation.
He needs the politicians (also co-conspirators) to FORCE Americans to pay MORE for energy…
I understand that Al Bore and Michael More are collaborating on a new book on the subject of obesity, soon to be followed by their scientifically researced book on "The Dire Perils of the Coming Ice Age."
Oh he knows- there is no way he could not. He just thinks the billions he will make will let him take care of HIS kids and then, well we are back to eugenics and population controll
Gore had an ally in the liberal press. Eight different newspapers went to Miami to "investigate" the outcome and quietly slinked away when they couldn't find a "smoking gun" proving the false claims of Gore, and his team of liberal thieving lawyers.
That part of the 2000 election "controvesy" was widely ignored. What a surprise, huh?
Alabaster Goracle states:
“But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands.”
Instead, they would be looking back at us as the criminal generation that mortgaged their futures to push through cap and trade just so Al could buy his own Gulfstream jet instead of borrowing other peoples!
Good idea, this iss clearly a criminal conspiracy aimed at bilking the American tax payer out of untold billions and billions of dollars.
Gore is clearly still pissed about 2000 and he's taking it out on us. He's a pig.
There have been a number of posts that Al Gore has been lost, e.g., Drudge. Actually, I found him last Thursday at Apple's shareholder's meeting. We had our annual one-way debate. This year there were a number of inaccurate press reports and blog posts. This is what I said and why.
"I stand in opposition to the re-election of Al Gore to Apple's board. He has become a laughing stock. The Himalayan glaciers are not melting, the seas are not rising and the medieval warm period has returned. If his advice to Apple is as bad as his positions on the environment he should not be on Apple's board"
As a shareholder I had the right to oppose his re-election. It was my opinion that he is a laughing stock. My three categorical statements re the science are based on what is being widely reported. The most important claim ever made by Mr. Gore is that the science of man-made global warming is settled. The three significant errors I cite are proof that the science is not settled.
Shelton Ehrlich
Good point. I think it's worth the risk.
Thank you for what you posted here.
Here is an interesting article about the Apple Shareholders meeting:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-10459872-260.ht...
Al Gore is a threat to everything American.
Dave,__If my memory serves me faithfully, our atmosphere is .78 nitrogen, .21 oxygen, .009 argon, .0025 water vapor and .00038 carbon dioxide along with trace amounts of hydrogen, helium and other nobel gases. Remember, when you see percentage numbers listed as 78% or .03%, you need to move the decimal point over two places to the left to get the true percentage numbers then the numbers will read .78 and .0003 respectfully. Thus, when all the numbers representing the constituted components of our atmosphere are added up, the number will equal 1.0 and when denoted as a whole number percentage you simply move the decimal point two spaces to the right and you will have 78 and .03.
Great article from the Telegraph:
Dear Senator,
This is a great article:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/7332803/A-perf...
"The chief defence offered by the warmists to all those revelations centred on the IPCC's last 2007 report is that they were only a few marginal mistakes scattered through a vast, 3,000-page document. OK, they say, it might have been wrong to predict that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035; that global warming was about to destroy 40 per cent of the Amazon rainforest and cut African crop yields by 50 per cent; that sea levels were rising dangerously; that hurricanes, droughts and other "extreme weather events" were getting worse. These were a handful of isolated errors in a massive report; behind them the mighty edifice of global warming orthodoxy remains unscathed. The "science is settled", the "consensus" is intact…..
continued:
But this completely misses the point. Put the errors together and it can be seen that one after another they tick off all the central, iconic issues of the entire global warming saga. Apart from those non-vanishing polar bears, no fears of climate change have been played on more insistently than these: the destruction of Himalayan glaciers and Amazonian rainforest; famine in Africa; fast-rising sea levels; the threat of hurricanes, droughts, floods and heatwaves all becoming more frequent. All these alarms were given special prominence in the IPCC's 2007 report and each of them has now been shown to be based, not on hard evidence, but on scare stories, derived not from proper scientists but from environmental activists. Those glaciers are not vanishing; the damage to the rainforest is not from climate change but logging and agriculture; African crop yields are more likely to increase than diminish; the modest rise in sea levels is slowing not accelerating; hurricane activity is lower than it was 60 years ago; droughts were more frequent in the past; there has been no increase in floods or heatwaves."
I read that release when it came out.
Thank you for taking a stand against the fraud that is Al Gore. I noticed that they bashed you unfairly in a typical media attempt to cover for him.
Many, many Americans and people the world over share your views. You spoke for millions Mr. Ehrlich, thank you!
Eww, instead of the Moonies, we'd have the Gories? ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
I would propose a full lobotomy. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo

If I had one wish in life, that would come true, I wish Al Gore would come here and read what the real world really thinks of him. He is nothing but a fraud, a huckster, a hoaxer. What he has done falls nothing short of criminal. He was an elected official, and subsequently has parlayed his position of powe and prestige, and leveraged it into credability on a fraudulent basis.
Al Gore is a criminaol, yet to be indicted. Nothing short of a CONgressional Investigation will do. Furthermore, this information should be taken before Grand Juries, in various Districts and Jurisdictions.
America deserves to see this caricature of a "man" burned in effigy and thrown in jail. He belongs next to Bernie Madoff, in a cell.
Renojmc
I'd love to see Tipper have go out and find a job…Like so many of US CAN"T….
I've said this before here…Maybe worth repeating…But being that it's a replay, not necessary to vote…
Stop entertaining this criminality designed solely to fleece the taxpayer, enrich elitist politicians and limit our freedoms.
The Founding Fathers fought a Revolution for far less. Make it clear, any politician that doesn't reject this will be removed in Nov.
Algore should be criminally charged for conspiracy and fraud on the grandest scale. Madoff went to prison for less. Frankly these leftwing traitors, like Algore, should be publicly executed or at least belittled….
KYLE-ANN Hope u read this. Your wit & sarcasm is a riot…….If the NYT had any business sense, they'd hire you full time just to verbally whip their pansy asses. It would definitely boost circulation.
That's MISTER. Algore to you, f**king yenta….
Hey, It was almost Reverand Algore
I cuddaa been a contender….
I speculate he never saw it coming. Yes it was all so easy. I speculate when he was running for office with wild B.C. all they had to do was promise some National Security stuff you know nothing really important (just technology about our defensive systems and cryptology) to the Chinese and money flowed like wine.
So here we are in the future. Politicians from every country cannot pinpoint which of there fellow thieves stole most of it but all of a sudden the genius' in China come up with a scam to suck more out of us gullible AMERICANS, "GLOBAL WARMING" now who would have the sales skills (THAT WE OWN) to pull off the in your face portion of this operation? None other than a former Vpotus. O Al thought we were bosom buddies and had no idea about the (ahem) confidential files and exactly how dumb and screwed he is.
Hey I know let's keep voting them back in, what do you say? Hell we still got enough to live inside and eat food daily, thats enough for them; you know for now. So much is covered up in and from D.C.
Hey that's at least 20000 words…I got the point…Maybe tackle it tomorrow…
But they are good libs at Apple…I predict he'll stay and an issue will not be made…If 1 million shareholders did what you did, then maybe…
"From the standpoint of governance, what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption." Finally, Al Gore gets something right. That is precisely the point. The global warming religion is a path to redemption for many who have been made to feel guilty about "polluting" by spewing the mother's milk of all plant growth – CO2. A fundamental law of nature is that man cannot be redeemed by government.
Exactly. Sorry didn't see your comment before I posted.
Algore is a fraud. A snake oil salesman. Just like osamabama. B*stards.
Quite the stud-muffin. He's probably wearing Tipper's panties…
Per barb boxer, algore is a profit. WTF???
man-bear-pig is going to get him, ……I'm totally cereal……………………………….really pathetic waste of space to have Algore on the planet
Go get him! tell him I have an Idea to save the planet – see my first post.
So does this mean the Polar Bears are now safe?
This column was okay. I don't understand why Sarah Palin, Godess, had to be inserted into the end of it. Unless it's just that the writer, like too many on the right, is obsessed with her. The gratuitous slipping of a Palin "rah-rah" weakened the piece considerably. I say this as a conservative who is becoming concerned about the "cult of personality" growing around Palin that seems to be a mirror of the "cult of Obama." As with that cult, we see every problem being "solved" by Palin. It's not working wtih Obama, and it won't work with Palin. And it makes the right seem as nuts as the left.

"Former Veep Goes Girly-Man, Has Hissy Fit in Pages of New York Times"
It's at the top of the page. You know, Man Bear Pig.
Unfortunately, and from experience, the sort of scoundrel we have in Mr. Gore, is the sort who creates his "carbon-credit" brokerage operation and related media empire in such a way that he will never have to tap into that vast storehouse of wealth he inherited from his dad.
I will just be happy when we, free people, do not have to waste portions of our ample cerebral cortexes upon this preposterous notion that mother nature is under the control of "the man" and we have to "go green" or we will somehow take a planet the size of the earth, and DESTROY it…..
Of course, nature could always destroy us, but then, assuming the hysterical, Gore crowd is right, that would only be fitting punishment, eh? Most likely the only decent legal work they have ever done (maybe I'm starting to get harsh, but you can tell I"m no fan). Also, I do not think Gore is having a gender problem. I believe he is severely ADD/ADHD (just look at a picture of his home office…makes mine look neat!) and you know, typically they are highly emotional. Not rational, always, but certainly emotional.
I say "Dunk Tank" for Fat Al, with liquid supplied from his liquor cabinet and fridges of the:
(a) Mansion in Nashville (Knoxville – where ever)
(b) Houseboat
(c) private jet
(d) Limos & private vehicles
(e) Hotel Suites
(d) His home in D.C.
Boxer is easily the dumbest Senator in the Congress. She could pass for a House Representitive from Dumbassville
1/2 man, 1/2 bear, 1/2 pig the only one whom can save us from the Emporer of the Moon and inventor of the enviroment.
Gore goes Girly-man?
Quite the little stud muffin, isn't he?
Nah, …….I never could.
I very well remember the useless CFC/Ozone scam of the late 80's -early 90's. I had to ask myself:
"How did this problem, 30-40 years in the making, magically fix itself overnight?"
To which I answered my own question with: "Oh, they passed legislation,…… Huzzah!"
If the internet was full bore then, they never would have gotten away with that and we could have been spared from InsaneManBearPig.
How close were we to disaster in 2000? Makes you believe there is a God, after all. I need to send a belayed thank you note to Florida.
Al Gore would be in a better position to lecture us on the dangers of man-made global warming if he wasn't heavily invested in the solutions he proposes and didn't have a personal carbon footprint ten times that of the folks he's lecturing. He's damaging the planet more than most, but justifies it by purchasing carbon credits from a company he invests in. In other words, he gets rich telling us not to do what he gets even richer from doing.
Here's an idea, let's get together and have a 225 million person Class Action Law Suit against this Global Warming Huckster.
That should insure that his "investments" will be used up.
If one were to think about it, Both Gore and Obama are very much acting like an HIV virus infecting the "Body" from within. After doing so, they would fundamentally change the whole structure of human life as we know it. The most difficult part of eradicating this kind of infection is to search out for the cure to confront this infestation. Part of the cure is to isolate and confront on the open stage for a serious and intelligent debate. The debate is not over by any stretch of the imagination. One needs to urge and if be cajole the suspects into the open with strong, but firm words. If need, one needs to use the same tactics to route out and reveal substantive truth. The people of America will be better for it.
I am not a scientist….I am just a mother. All along none of this"felt" right starting off with just looking at the way HE LIVED…if he was so damn afraid of the the sky falling why was he flying around polluting it and living in an eco UNFRIENDLY home…..walk the talk man……Secondly who shuts up debate…who? If you feel confident in what you are promoting then why shut down debate????…oh because your data is a LIE! Shame on you Al Gore…Shame on you.
I say he should be tarred, feathered, and made to "ride the rail" through every major city in America, then boot his butt out of the country. Maybe even put him on trial for crimes against humanity because his "religous science of AGW" is about to bankrupt our economy and our nation. If that isn't criminal in nature, then nothing is.
Wow – sending Sarah Palin over to collect Al Gore's man card….woo hoo!! It just doesn't get any better than this. Kyle-Anne, your sharp wit and pointed analysis are always so enjoyable to read. The last line of your article was just the absolute greatest ending to another well-done expose of the idiots who want to control our lives and force us to follow rigid and enslaving rules while they are free to live in their energy-gobbling mansions and jet around the world in their carbon choking gagging air polluting bizjets. Jeez, Al Gore is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet.
the rest of the world doesnt give a hoot about al gore….but they realize that pollution is bad for the planet, and that we all should do something about it….even if its not going to destroy the ecosystem in your lifetime, to go to childish name calling is really sad. dont worry though the smart people on the planet will take care of you, even if you wont take care of yourself.
If EGore were truly and seriously concerned about the global warming myth and its effects on future generations to come, than he would sign over all of the money he would stand to gain to the cause and not profit a red cent from it. If he did that, than I would be willing to listen… at least, warm up to listening a little.
Al Gore will go down in history as:
1. A forgotten VP (guess he should have gotten a hummer in the WH.
2. An example that the Nobel's are politically not merit driven.
3. A clown that couldn't win in his own Carbon Exchange "Three Card Monty".
Please go away, you're useless.
Did you know that the solution for both 'global warming' and 'peak oil' are the same? RATIONING. . . coincidence?

Name calling gives way to reality. First we were global warming deniers, now we are climate change deniers….a wee change in meaning. Earth to ALGORE…..climate change happens every day dipstick. The EPA chief states that 15 years of no temprature change means nothing……excuse me! If I recall the previous arguments the enviro-wackos were all shouting we had to act on the "highest tempratures" in a decade(10years) or the Polarbears would die, the Ice caps would melt, the oceans would rise……..all lies. Climatologists can't even project an acurate 10 day weather forcast let alone tell what is happening over a protrated period of time. Greedy trial lawyers are eventually going to catch the scent of money to be made suing ALGORE. Hello Levenworth, now that will be a real climate change for ALGORE.

I could only stomach so much of this article. But, I did read today, presumably from the article, where he has indicated that "mistakes" in science will happen. Hey Bone Head – this was intentional fraud and there is a difference. "Sorry officer – I just accidently robbed this bank and shot a couple of holes in the wall. But, here is the money. Can I now go?" ____Part of me thinks that 'ol Al is plotting how to get out of the hole he has dug for himself. But, another part thinks that he still believes this stuff. I accurately predicted about 3-4 years ago to friends and colleagues that when "global warming" switched to global cooling the loons would blame global cooling on global warming. My only comment is to take a course in thermodynamics and get a grip. ____How's this for Al's explanation? Gaia has gotten mad and has decided to punish those who did not believe in global warming, plus those who support Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, and is going to freeze these people. After they are frozen, Gaia will then return to baking the planet so the smart people can tax the wealthy and ruin small businesses.
"Too many people, who are experts in their own field, become enamored with their own genius and begin to believe they are somehow a public intellectual with answers to all problems…"
I've identified five professional categories who are excessively prone to exhibit this behavior (listed roughly in order of decreasing intellectual justification for this conceit):
Doctors, Lawyers, Pilots, Architects, & Politicians. Of these five, please note that only politicians have no independent core area of competency (tho in many cases, they are a subset of lawyers).
we need Bill Cosby doing the intro: "Hey, hey, hey! It's Faaaaaattttt Albert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Psst…you forgot celebrities (covers actors, musicians, athletes, etc.)
Good stuff, Kyle-Anne!
You said a lot of the same things I said in my rebuttal of Gore's New York Times "piece" published today on Dakota Voice: http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/03/al-gore-king-o...
you may be right, I have only seen it as three hundreth of a percentage not 3 ten thousandth. Either way, it is a minimal percentage.
The editors should put dollar signs in the eyes of EVERY picture they show of Al Gore. I wish Al would return to the Jeremiah Johnson look and go into hibernation for the next couple of decades.
"Al, do America a favor and turn in your man card – pronto. If you don’t, then we real women of the U.S.A. are sending Sarah Palin over to collect it."
Or maybe Michele Bachmann will come by and collect it.
Excellent article.
Al Gore needs to be sitting in jail for fraud. Gore is literally the Bernie Madoff of global warming and is doing the same exact thing as Madoff, ripping people off. In Gore's case, he is not just ripping of his clients, he is ripping off every person on Earth with his green agenda.
Algore has been since the 2000 election, to me, insane. I believe that he believes this "the Earth has a fever" nonsense, and found a way to profit — several $100MILLION dollars worth from it.
The only solution to discredit him, is for those investors that "believed" him, put hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars on the line by giving their money to him — to SUE HIM. Class action lawsuits are the only way to beat down this ridiculous lunatic and his "climate change" lies. Algore needs to PAY and be discredited big time. Now, if only some of those big Gore donors would come forward…maybe after Obama's out of office.
Mom in Wisconsin
The good ship global warming lies is heading for the bottom.
Al Gore symbolizes everything that is wrong with (liberal) guys in 2010. He lisps, is pasty white, softhanded, probably hasn't done a lick of outside work during his lifetime, is massively self-important, self-righteous and condescending. Seriously, I'll bet Janet Napolitano has a bigger whatitis than Gore. Please Lord, take this walking migraine headache of a bureaucrat away soon.
Quickly, everyone…!
Deny Jabba the Gore any further money, before he eats any more capital…!
I mean, LOOK AT HIM…!
Stop feeding the Gore before he consumes us all…!
Al fails to even mention Phil Jones admissions that he lost all the "founding documents" AND the earth has not been warming for the last 15 years NOR the fact that Mars has been "warming" and "cooling" following the exact same patterns as our earth. Better start short-selling your "green" portfolio Al and quick.
Al Gore is simply Gore of another kind. Gore is what a bull does to people and gore is what comes out of people after they are gored.
It's incredible that a man with so low an IQ and so little education can take control of so many people's lives. I am sure he things that it's warmer in NYC in the Summer because we are closer to the sun.
I am just as sure that he could not take the cube root of an arbitrary number using only pencil and paper, yet this man thinks he is a genius. I guess most idiots have inflated views of themselves. Gore is physicall inflated as well, probably taking up the space of two normal humans.
He should be in jail for fraud. What he did makes Bernie Madoff look like an angel and a cheapskate.
This Gore nut has cost the world billions of dollars. Where are they? It looks as if Gore has eaten them all up.
Just imagine if he were a conservative attempting to perpetrate this hoax on the world?
A must see video. http://www.oilforimmigration.org/facts/?p=5672
Let's see your facts brian, a lot of us are waiting.!
F**K you too Nazi pig! You are a fool and will amount to nothing!
I ADMIT I HAVE A BAD MEMORY, BUT I CAN AT LEAST REMEMBER WHAT A READ OR WROTE 5 SECONDS AGO(THREE PARAGRAPHS AGO). IN ONE PARAGRAPH ALGORE ARGUES THAT A FREE-MARKET BASED SOLUTION IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE OPTION:
"The flexibility of a global market-based policy — supplemented by regulation and revenue-neutral tax policies — is the option that has by far the best chance of success. "
THREE PARAGRAPHS LATER HE ARGUES THAT FREE-MARKET BASED ECONOMY IS THE PROBLEM:
"The decisive victory of democratic capitalism over communism in the 1990s led to a period of philosophical dominance for market economics worldwide and the illusion of a unipolar world. It also led, in the United States, to a hubristic “bubble” of market fundamentalism that encouraged opponents of regulatory constraints to mount an aggressive effort to shift the internal boundary between the democracy sphere and the market sphere. Over time, markets would most efficiently solve most problems, they argued. Laws and regulations interfering with the operations of the market carried a faint odor of the discredited statist adversary we had just defeated."
We need to recognize Al Gore's pathetic op-ed as a legal defensive measure against the likely upcoming suits.. His lawyers probably wrote this to lay the groundwork to attempt to protect him from fraud charges in his various offerings. He has to show that he believes what he's saying, that he acted in good faith and exercised his fiduciary duty. Then the investors cannot get him on defauding them, they can only blame themselves for poor due diligence.
As a long-time skeptic of AGW (since I became aware of the issue in the early 90s) I am pleased to see him forced to make such a fool of himself with this op-ed. It is icing on the cake that he must do this to protect himself. I suspect that his long silence of late was due to him huddling with his lawyers figuring out how to minimize his legal liability, which I believe is substantial. He's luck Obama is Prez, otherwise he might be on the recieving end of an SEC investigation.
It is so good to finally have someone point out the real problem for Al Gore. People are beginning to realize that what he has been hyping with carbon credits, cap and trade etc in reality is only a way for he and others to line their bank accounts with our money! Global warming…maybe it is true, but I don't believe it is to the extent he has been pushing! These scientists kept it going because it gave them their paychecks and as long as they had global warming to the extent they did, they had jobs and grants and money to do their research. It didn't matter if their research was correct or not,they just changed it to give it the best outcome to keep them going.
"What is the world coming to, when grown men who call themselves Americans, are reduced in public to fairytale-spewing girly-men?
Al, do America a favor and turn in your man card – pronto. If you don’t, then we real women of the U.S.A. are sending Sarah Palin over to collect it"
Speaking here as a man;I personally thought you had to prove being a man to get the card. All The Great Bloated Wonder that is Al Gore has ever done is complain.About how his Daddy made him rich(strip mining BTW), how we are killing the planet and so on and so on and so on…All of this while he does exactly what he wants us to not do…
Now here is where this gets interesting..I'm going to expiain Man-cards for you guys!!
As most states have two categories of driver lics.(under age &over 21) so too the man card has two categories. Real and Wimp…guess which Al has??? Sarah can go collect it from him…he doesn't even deserve that one!!!!
The Titanic pic is classic!
One moment Al is on the bow of the Global Warming/Climate Change ship, with his arms open wide and the ocean breeze passing through his hair as he proclaims "I'm the King of the World!"…..the next moment he's treading water wondering if he'll drown first or freeze to death.

he is the demon seed fat assclown.
Al Gore is the poster boy for eco-fascism. To zealots like Gore, individual liberty and free markets are the equivalent of crack cocaine. Economic choice, freedom of action and individualism are destructive, anachronistic concepts – indeed, they are toxins that must be purged from the body politic. Only when humanity sacrifices its material welfare and becomes part of a global collective – when we have become pure again – can humanity be saved from itself.
He knows the pending lawsuits will financially break him eventually.

"But the next day I was tasked with sitting in for “Kenny Boy” at a meeting in fancy New York law firm offices (in DC), around a table of Baptists and Bootleggers, rent-seekers and green puritans, discussing how to ensure a global warming treaty came about, of our collective design, and how to rope the U.S. in."

A fitting end to all of this is Al having his ugly head sawed-off on youtube.
"Al continues his “editorial” in the vein of an adolescent girl writing a please-don’t-leave-me-letter to her boyfriend…"
did Algore hire Taylor Swift to write this? they both live in Nashville. hmmm, looks suspiciously like her insipid teen drivel lyrics…….
Someone near and dear was jetting out of a honeymoon at the pricey St. John, Virgin Island's resort of Caneel Bay, just as Mr. Gore-you-in-the-wallet was arriving with family in tow in order to lick his wounds from his defeat.
Near and dear were toldI am told that his bunch spends holidays regularly at the pricey, yet wonderful resort.
Of course, Mr. Gore-you-in-the-wallet always walks over, while his family takes the private jet…
See my facts of his ties with Enron
Only the best for the cult leaders…and we know he walks on water thus how he arrived at his destination in the Virgin Islands…<sarc>
Too true, too true!
Pharisee, amateur lawgiver, and amateur providence come to mind, not necessarily in that order
I guess I got confused, who was she talking about "Chicken Little" or Al Gore, never mind I figured it out, "Chicken Little" didn't become an almost Billionaire for his rantings!!!
MAKE GORE DEBATE MONCKTON!!!!
What is it about Al Gore that has always makes me clutch my handbag closer to my body whenever he speaks…. Oh yeah, he reminds me of a common crook, a purse snatcher, a seedy slimy backwoods tabacco spitting snake oil salesman.
Bad Science + Big Profit + False Mother Earth Prophet = Blow Hard Nut Bag AL Gore
The prize winning dumber than dumb statement by Algore: "In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law."
It is a primary tenant of science that whn postulating a theory, you make your data available to others. It's what we like to call PEER REVIEW, Al. These "hostile, make work demands" are actually a completely reasonable and expected request from scientists. But then, what do you expect from this "scientist" that failed every science course he ever took?
Al, you invested you future in to what really is a succesfully manufactured "fad" of environmentalism.
That's understandable.
Politicians always pursue what they believe to be the trends of the favoritisms of the people. Unfortunately, you chose a "fad" that many intelligent people and true, non-politicized, discovered to be very questionable. Not nessicarilly false, but scientifically questionable.
Now, You are so invested in it, and so "sold" into your own "cult", that you can not face reality, and be a man about it.
Sad… So very, very, sad.

By the "hateful note" from which "facts are absent" you *do* mean Al Gore's rant defending his rapidly cooling into a congealed mess Gore Bull Warming don't you? And by "silly people" you do mean those silly enough to have been fooled by the GoreBull Warming fad & thrown so much time, money and effort into what is now starkly exposed as an utter hoax and deliberate fraud right?
Of course you must have meant that – but perhaps you should have specified it. Eh?
Too true – me too!
Gore along with the others responsible for the Great Gorebull Warmin' Swindle – now laid bare by tehclimaetgate emails and, well, just looking out your window – should now be arrested, charged with grand fraud and where appropriate other offences (misrespresentation, obtaining money by deception, etc ..), convicted and sentenced for very long jail spells. In fact, I'm puzzled why that hasn't happened already. Powerful friends I suppose?
Great point & analysis there. Of course though, it only counts as *religion* if God is involved somewhere which then makes it nasty, hateful, toxic stuff which must be zealously suppressed in Leftist eyes.
The Ten Commandments and the Bible are to be removed from everywhere and denigrated by "Liberal" decree – all hail & bow down before the great new non-god of GoreBull Warming & its prophets Gore, Mann & Jones … Just as you must all bow down and worship the almighty religion-that-isn't-officially-a-religion of Political Correctness.
Great article – spot on. Thankyou for speaking out so well and calling a spade a spade. Loved it.
I wonder if Al Gore's now cowering in a corner of his mansion, crying and soiling his pants in fear at the thought of Sarah Palin coming to take away his manhood as that fat slimeball so richly deserves. As well as howling in self-pity as his GoreBull Warming Swindle gets more exposed and discredited & loses more believers with every passing day.
History is filled with petty little people who, for whatever the reasons, have filled their mind with a self righteous greatness they've become obsessed with it and nothing will ever deter them so they concoct and conjure up ways to screw the world with their misguided idiocy and greed. Fraud and lies are just a means of achieving it and have no meaning, neither does the opinions others have of him. Hypocrisy is banned from his thoughts. Reality doesn't exist. For those like Gore, its not just the money, but its the power also and the need to feel he has served his purpose and many in the world have adopted his opinion of himself. He's totally void of humility and all the attributes that comprises good character are foreign to him. He revels in his greatness and the acceptance of those who share his idiocy and of his lust for money and power. He's abandoned God, his greatness and superiority and beleives in his heart he is the answer for all mankind and he's obsessed with the belief he can shove his greatness down everyone's throat. The query begs the question of what kind of God does he believe he is to be so worthty.
The sooner we get rid of these Political Tapeworms the better. I just wish that there was some magic medicine that would make the Body Politic (That's us!) spew these parasites down the tubes.

Is this where people who support the lying, vindictive quitter Palin? Christ, the woman is a car room spokesmodel at best. I love the assumption that the climate change data is a lie. That is hysterical in here. Based on what? That we had a lot of snow in the NE this year? Clearly, this space is not for open minded people who think logically.
Fact of the matter. Only time will tell.
More than a slam of Big Al, I would like to know who the guy was that waited until just before Copenhagen to release the truth about this dribble. The timing was designed perfectly to take all of the air out of this bunch of idiots.

Whether you like former VP Al Gore or not, one way or another, you will see drastic, dramatic perhaps even catastrophic changes in the way we live. Perhaps it's better to do something about it now, rather than wait until you're forced to change.
Climate Change Denial is a crime against logic, humanity and Peace.
I wish you all the very best in the coming years – especially with becoming grown, responsible members of a global community that needs you desperately to change the way you live, eat and treat each other.

There are negatives to everything, with that said storing waste is the negative. But if we move towards nuclear power there will come a day through technology where we will have fusion which is much cleaner. In the meantime there are nukes that are have been developed at OSU that are small scale, self contained units that could revolutionize our enegy issues, that can be moved to their site and removed from their site and properly disposed of when the time comes. As fusion becomes a reality all of the waste created could be disposed of through this process.
My guess is you are a product of what the media has spewed over the past thirty years on nuclear power, with Chernobyl (the USSR's QC is
nothing like the US's) and Three Mile Island, (which was unfortunate, timely for the anti nuke folks, and yet ended without anyone harmed). TMI's incident caused changes to occur throughout the industry to make sure it would never happen again. Besides the fact the incident was resolved in figuring out the human error and rectifying it. When you contrast the American coal industry and the Nuclear Power industries death per year, there are far more deaths with the coal industry than in the Nuclear industry. I will let you run the search on that for yourself….

Did you know that Al Gore used to be a door-to-door salesman. His specialty was trickery in words and he would pitch it like crap in the wind blowing your way. He needs to go away into a deep depression for using scare tactics to create his own wealth. He can also take billionaire Buffett with him.

And yet the storms get bigger. The ice caps keep melting and people and animals keep dying. Pollution is not good from any perspective.
Nuclear power is just stupid no matter how you look at it. There's no way to dispose of the waste safely. It sits for millions of years to come. Yet it gets pushed as "clean energy"….like they push "clean coal". Oil must be replaced or we are slaves to the countries we get it from.
No matter Gore's agenda…were destroying or environment and our future if we don't get away from oil running the world. Let them find another reason for wars. You know…like religion. They've been pretty consistent. What we need to do is reduce the world population. Getting rid of Republicans would offset most of the polluted hot air shooting into the atmosphere.
We didn't seem to hate being lied to about the Iraq War, did we?
Is your outrage saved only for the Left?
The scandal has not changed some of the core components of climate change – the fact that some despicable scientists high up were looking to profit SHOULD NOT change our efforts at alternative energy. You all act like solar and wind power will one day enslave humanity – and the irony is that you are the same people who constantly rail about 'choice' in the market place. Drilling for more oil here… well… more oil. That's not a choice really.
Wow, the level of political discourse here is stunning.
Right… because Sarah never abused her power….
Wow what a bias piece of journalistic crap! im surprised at how ignorant all these people can be, i wouldnt even want sarah palin teaching my children kindergarten. if you have to call names like girly man i can't really take your work serious.
That should be "I can't really take your work seriously."
I know, because when I see comments from people who lack command of even the most basic tenants of English grammar, I can't take them seriously.
Al says "We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands."
We're talking about the national debt here, right. Al, Al, or maybe not?
On another topic, look at the pictureagain, imagine long dark hair and you've got—-that's right, Kirstie Alley.
So sad there are so many uninformed, uneducated bias people in the world. It is obvious from the above comments that only radical "conservatives" read this website. I am not one of them. I wish that all of you would publish your comments as Kyle-Anne Shiver has done so that your decendents will know that you were one of the many reasons their world turned to dust.
Stop worrying about Al Gore's possible motive(s) for "pushing" the global warming alert. We should ALL be worried about the direction our world's environment is heading. It really doesn't take a very well educated person to see the writing on the wall; we are killing life on this planet.
I am appalled at the disgustingly sexist stance of this article. Girly-Man? Who uses terms like that in 2010. You should be ashamed of yourself as a woman and as a human being. It's offensive and it propagates so many stereotypes and I can't believe that this article was published on a reputable website.
Unfortunately a few scientists have committed fraud and people have rightly questioned the whole theory of global warming. However, even with the few lies and distortions these few have made, the evidence for global warming is overwhelming. THe only thing in question is what portion of it is caused by man. The Academy of Sciences is the most reliable group of people we have for examining nature. Their statements deserve respect. The far right's knee-jerk opposition to anything the left is for, without regard to facts, seems to be quite consistent.
Oh how cute. Look at the Republican circus and their half-wit mutual support system.
This is just someone's opinion, chock full of Republican buzzwords and buzzphrasaes that are guaranteed to get you drooling with glee, and like the robotical geniuses that you are, you fall right into line behind her.
1. 'the sky is falling!'..a perennial favorite with you people, used to make someone look like they are being overly dramatic. Much the same way I would use, when Bush was in office "You're doing a helluva job, Brownie"…except Bush really did say that.
2. Refer to someone as "girly", because we all know that you hate gay people. So yeah, emasculating someone is a great way to get your readers to pay attention.
Hey Kyle-Anne,
I am sending you the bill for my garbage can. Your warning of impending crap only included only hankies or Pepto. Before I finished reading your editorial I went to the Journal and read the article / interview / diatribe / poop. Had you warned us that the stench from the Journal could now be delivered on-line I would have had the later-mentioned Barf Bag at the ready. But noooooo! You left out the little detail of the utterly nauseating characteristics of the 'thing'.
Thyanks alot now that will be $4.95….I get a discount because I bought the garbage can at WALMART. Do the Chinese put lead in the plastic to make garbage cans?
Nice Job Kyle-Anne. You can make the check out to the American Education Relief Fund so our Children might some day have an opportunity to actually learn to read.
3. 'drill baby drill' as quoted by Queen Bee Dipstick Sarah Palin, even though oil companies already own some 87 million acres of land that they haven't even explored yet. Yes, they do. Look it up. We're also EXPORTING our own oil. Did you know that? We don't need Arab oil now. Do you drones honestly believe gas prices will ever go down, as if oil companies are benevolent societies who would love to make less profit if only the big bad arab world would allow them to?
4. "religion". Call something a "religion" that's not "christian religion" and you people freak out.
5. The name "Sarah Palin". Just saying it makes you people fall to the ground and weep, the same behavior that earned Obama the nickname "the black messiah". NOW look who's calling the kettle black. YOU.
Aren't you people ever ashamed for being cheering imbeciles and never thinking for yourself? I know I'm not changing any minds here but…oh wait, there are no minds to change.
What I'd really like to see is someone NOT toe the party line, because THAT takes courage. Not this. This is just demonstrating a sad need for self validation.
please check my grammar here= get fucked bud! If you agree with this ridiculous article you are a waste of space
Al (chicken Little) Gore has been a fraud from day one. If the media (thank GOD for FOX) wasn't in cahoots with the far loony left Gore wouldn't even be a footnote in history. But as we all know history is written by the far left. The poor peons of tomorrow will read the history written by the lefties and laugh their butts off because this moron was taken serious at all by anyone. Inventor of the internet, Vietnam vet (still gagging on that one) photo journalist with a cadre of his own guards because his daddy was a senator was a slap in the face to the rest of Vietnam vets. Whew, gag reflex under control now!!! The sooner idiots like Gore is out of the public and consigned to gutters where they belong, the better!
Al Gore is a booger eatin' moron.
find it amazing how this article is completely spun together with rhetoric persuasion.
"The Nazi threat was demonstrably real, demonstrably imminent and demonstrably cataclysmic. Churchill didn’t need a flock of grant-gobbling “scientists” ensconced in comfy academic sinecures to convince Londoners that bombs were wrecking their cities."
Exactly! Churchill didn't need scientists to convince Londoners of the bombs they were seeing! There were bombs exploding on their land and they saw them for what they were! Do you see the bombs going off before YOU? I would like to know makes you to draw a parallel with yourself and Winston Churchill?
A demonstrably real thing is how the Nazi regime fed propaganda to their masses who in turn did not dissect the information they were being provided. The citizens of the the Nazi regime lived their day to day lives under the seeing no real wrong in their day to day life. This is understandable because having a belief that everyone else agrees with feels nice, it is comforting and makes you feel good. After all, why inspect all possible viewpoints on a subject matter and find out where the truth lies for yourself when it is already so obvious and everyone else believes it too? Surely, they can't all be wrong…
The err in humans during the nazi regime was that people were too fearful of thinking for themselves. The masses would take in information (lies) being fed to them by the nazi regime for the nazi regime as explained and justified by the nazi regime; they did not think for themselves and took what information they were fed at face value. Their laziness in reasoning lead to their blind acceptance of spoon-fed morals and ideologies created to their self-deception and gave the nazi regime its power.
Do not make the same mistake the citizens of nazi germany made. Do not fool yourself and accept all claims simply because you believe a source.
If there is one right answer then will you not arrive at the same conclusion on your own because it is the only correct conclusion?
So why are you trying to deny such extreme ideologies in favor of others? You are caught in a loaded true or false question and are are essentially projecting that either Al Gore is completely right or Sarah Palin is completely right, which I think in the bigger picture can lead to the false idea that either liberals are completely right or conservatives are completely right.
nazi germany grew because of the comfort they provided to the downtrodden German people after they had suffered such an embarrassing loss in WW1, leading to the creation of the scapegoating of the Jewish people which therein lead the German masses to embrace the nazi regime that told the people that everything was alright, and that everything was the fault of those interred and concentration camps.
Al Gore is your scapegoat here and you are attacking him to comfort yourself. If you are so passionate about the said subject matter and if your beliefs are true, they should stand on their own with solid clear evidence. Stop blinding yourself with such rhetoric scapegoating and show us the the truth behind why Al Gore's claims on global warming are false. Prove him wrong, don't just slander him for being a 'girly man.' That's just silly and transparent.
I hope you can see that this article is a circumstantial ad hominem: attacking Al Gore's position and his circumstances in the playing field because if he is correct in his claims, he will make a profit. This convinces you that he is not to be trusted and must therefore be wrong: causing you to doubt in him without debating the problems at hand. In short, it is an article written to comfort yourself.
I mean come on, what exactly is a girly man? And how does that reflect Al Gore negatively? Does something about being girly make your reasoning flawed? What does it mean to be girly and why can't men emote that? I'm assuming Sarah Palin isn't girly then? and that makes her better?
"The difference between the threat Churchill and the free world faced with the Nazis and Al Gore’s get-rich-quick-scheme is apparent to anyone with even a grain of common sense."
I think you meant to type: The difference between the threat Churchill faced with the Nazis and the threat the Free World faces with Al Gore's get-rich-quick-scheme is apparent to anyone with even a grain of common sense, but I have understood what you mis-worded anyway.
It is not terribly apparent to anyone with even a grain of common sense that Al Gore is wrong. I have common sense and don't believe Al Gore has made all of this up along with scientists in order to get money. I find it offensive that you would say or let alone believe that I don't have common sense if I don't agree with you. I'm sure it was just an expression you used to provide a proof surrogate to make your argument a bit better, but that is still rude claim to make. How can you be so extreme and polarized to one side of an issue?
What leads you to have such mistrust in these "scientists?” (And why the quotation marks? if your idea is a valid claim that stands true on its own, why add ridicule and sarcasm? I realize this is reflective of you trying to sound more sure of your point, but why not just make your point if it stands unbiased?) What have they done wrong? Why do you have such a strongly cemented yet unfounded mistrust against? This is unjustified and unclear. Not to say you are wrong, and I realize this is an opinion piece expressing your beliefs, but you have no explanation for where this strong mistrust in scientists comes from; you give no factual reasoning. It sounds like the point you're trying to project is that scientists and what they have to say are not to be trusted. Why do you assume this? Is it because you do not know who they are and do not know their motives and do no trust them? What makes you so sure that they are liars in it for themselves? Maybe you should delve in to this and see all of the the viewpoints and arguments at hand, on both sides. What about science makes it wrong. It can be wrong, but you justification must be true, founded and sound. Use your reasoning and try to see the real meaning therein. After all, if you are right in your beliefs this will only serve to reinstate the fact to are indeed not wrong.
If I am right… If your mistrust comes from the fact that Al Gore will make a lot of money if he is correct, you have only reached your conclusion because of your mistrust in his motives. This blinds you from thinking about what is actually important at hand: his thoughts and the meaning behind them. I urge you to realize this.
I myself probably don't agree with all of Al Gore's ideas and I know that I don't have to. I take them and evaluate them for myself and look at what he is arguing, what his evidence is, and decide where the truth lies. I see for myself what I agree with and what I don't, because I don't have to justify my thoughts to fit anyone else's. That would keep me from doing the best job I can do at finding the truth in what is around me and who I am in relation to the world around me and how I perceive and understand it and myself. I don't want to blind myself with all the rhetoric in hopes that I convince myself and those around me to be comfortable, I want to see the ideas for what they are, not what they are dressed as. I don't wan't to make the same mistake that the nazi citizens made.
The information we are given isn't always an ultimate truth or false. That part has to be figured out by yourself for yourself.
Have a good day and stay true to yourself <3
Wish I had bought one of them there carbon credit things. Then I could sue the nasty little metrosexual for fraud.

It's amazing to witness the degree of conformity among the commenters here. And I thought you were all proud free-thinkers. Ho hum. Just upscale Tea Party prospects, you are. Just a bunch of empty buckets leaking prepaid aphorisms.
He's Super Serial, OK??????
Al Gore is a hypocritical idiot. Putting that aside, there is not enough oil or oil equivalents available for the U.S. to become oil independent. Current U.S. oil consumption is around 18 million barrels per day while production is around 8 million barrels per day. Even if all U.S. land and sea were open to drilling, baby, drilling, and even if gas-to-liquid and coal-to-liquid production were ramped up, and even if somehow an efficient way were found to get oil from shale, and even if oil prices rose to $200 per barrel, we could not possibly produce an extra 10 million barrels per day of oil for very long (and replace the oil lost from depleted sources such as the North Slope). So some alternatives are needed, even though global warming is a scam.
Worth noting that at the top of page 83 of "Handbook of World Religions", is a red letter, italicized, rambling quote by Al Gore. As if the belief in "Goddess Worship" couldn't find any other spokesman for the book. Way to go, guys – I mean gals. Whatever. Nothing worse than watching an old guy not knowing when to shut up and quit with dignity. (Favre, Leno, Gore)
Are you all crazy, blind, angry? I trust its not stupidity.
You don't think the earth is warming? Why is the Arctic ice cap melting? Why is Kilimanjaro nearly bald? Why are ocean temperatures rising? Why has a giant ice berg broken off of Antarctica? Calm down and look around you.
Al Gore is not the devil. He's not even scary. And he's not making you or me do anything.
Here's what I know – Stuff is melting. I have more money now because I dumped my foreign made car and chose to drive a more fuel efficient american made car. And I'm tired of sending US dollars and soldiers to the middle east to buy and protect oil from people who hate us and use our dollars to support religious zealots with guns and a lot of really bad intentions.
Why waste a breath on Al Gore? He means nothing. And by the way, he made his money in communications, not energy trading. Instead, get with the program and reduce your energy use any way you can. You'll benefit immediately and maybe in the long run the global melting will slow. Even if it doesn't you'll know that dictators in Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and other places will lose power when they don't have your oil dollars to fund their socialist, Islamic, nation building.
No matter how stupid politicians can be, this is a retarded blog. Period. Get a life.
Wow you people are idiots!!!! Wake and see the truth – we are destroying our planet! I don't care how stupid Al Gore is, whether he is a criminal or not. It just so happens that on this particular topic, he is right. Stop being sheep led by the religious right, you morons!!!!
The reality is that we do not have a full understanding of global warming. The current scientific as opposed to political understanding is that it exists, but its full imact has not been determined. The impacts range from slightly favorable to disasterous. We don't have enough information or confidence yet in the science to make unalterable choices, but it would be lunacy not to give it further intense scientific study. You can believe Al Gore is doing what he believes is right for mankind or is trying to profit off of it. My guess is your opinion will travel along party lines. The biggest threat is the individuals who deny science. Science will guide us and we need to listen. Science considers everything and true science is immune from politics. What we decide to finally do after science gives us the best answers and probabilities, means we're back to politics, but an informed decision, not one based on lunacy or little information.
Another conservative climate-change-denier who writes articles! How cute!
I hope your home is near the water.
You people think you’re winning a political issue here whereas you’re actually losing the planet. And the mere mention of saving the planet is wussy and pussified to you mouth-breathing religious morons. Amazing. That’s because your leaders knew they could exploit your moronic pseudomacho tendencies. You people think that love itself is being a pussy. Anything but war and guns and the military is pussified to you idiots. That’s how you’ve been trained and conditioned.
You morons are destroying the country and even the world, and all you can think is how much you hate your political enemies and how manly you all are, evevn the women. Even your women hate women, and are insensitive to others and to life in general, so conditioned they are by your idiocy and religion.
A few scientists faked data and you discredit all the science, not thinking that they might have been faking it to make it more obvious so you short-sighted idiots would believe it. They were stupid, as people are stupid, but the bulk of the science is there and it’s not falsified at all, so you’re throwing out the data that might save us all here for a ‘few bad apples.’ Brilliant!
Grow the hell up, you fearful paranoid pussies. Yes, you’re the real pussies here. You’re the fearful ones. You fear REALITY.
So close, and yet so far away. Too bad, Al. You almost pulled off your con game, but someone turned on the light, and it was not your "green lightbulb", either.
what a bunch of dumbasses. just because we get a little cold weather doesn't mean we don't have climate change. look at vancouver. warmest winter in history. but that is not happening in america so i guess that don't count..
TURN IN YOUR "MAN-CARD? WOW! MS. SHIVER NEEDS TO GET A REAL LIFE.
Are you all crazy, blind, angry? I trust its not stupidity.
————–
Nope, it's stupidity. But it's carefully cultivated. Cultivated stupidity. They're that easy to control, yep. Their leaders have to keep 'em that way so they're never smart enough to see how mistaken they are.
About everything including their religion.
Their brains have been shut off. It's a faith thing.
Great article, you make some excellent points regarding gender! Al Gore did sound like a girl-man! Ha! LOL!
Do you guys remember that old sketch on Saturday Night Live where those guys in the sweat suits wanted to "Pump you Up!" That was awesome! Much better than that Tina 'Gay' garbage they do now.
But seriously though, Sarah Palin is kind of dumb, I don't think she would make a good president.
So, where did all you know-nothings get the Phds that qualify you to decide who is a real scientist and who isn't? Oh that's right. You don't need a Phd because you're Christian scientists
Name-calling is the defense of the ignorant.
when the fire from the sky burns you kids to death. clap.
All of you posters are ignorant fools.
For Gods sake educate yourselves.
And the writer of this article is a stupid c_nt.
IF Al Gore had a whole brain, He'd still be an idiot.
Wow: "Al fails to mention, too, that if we merely make use of our own technology and oil deposits, then we would have no need of Arab oil." Do ya'll have the numbers on that "no need for Arab oil' handy? I know the Canucks have a lot of tar sand, but I think it takes more energy to get it out than it produces and they aren't us.
Hissy fits and personal cheap shots are pretty stupid. I personally don't believe anything anyone I don't agree with says, tho my dad always told me that adults take cheap shots when they don't have an answer to the factual argument. But to me it's pretty obvious that if a girly man says something to make a point, any information that demonstrates the point is a lie, regardless of whether it was produced before the girly man made the point or not.
Keep up the great reporting… er commentary… er hissy fit. But check out that all the oil we need thing.
Whoops! This was on Google News and I made the mistake of thinking it wouldn't be Republican dribble from a self-hating woman.
You are a bunch of easily manipulated blue collar republican minions that care only for what makes your wallet bigger. You behave just like the Christians that incarcerated Galileo when he dared to say Earth was not the center of the universe. Despite putting your faith in Science every time you visit a Doctor, fly an airplane, or use a computer, you question science when it shakes your Dogmatic views. You all have one thing in common … you hate everything & everyone you are told too…. yeah, it's so Christian … so much fun mocking & snickering those you disagree with , and God forbid try to reason with them … it's easier to just snuff them ( Hmmm, I wonder what Jesus would think of song " Onward Christian Soldiers" ? ) Whether climate change is man made or not is a moot point. Melting glaciers & increasing storms are irrefutable. We have an obligation to our children's children to make unselfish choices today that will ensure their future.
Who's having the hissy fit, Al Gore, or most of the 227 posters screaming here so far ?????
This post isn't a fit, just a fitting question !!!
Um, what?
You like Sarah Palin?
You're F'ing retarded.
I never knew there were so many people out there educated in science. Are you the same people that think Mary was a virgin and Jesus rose from the dead? Just asking.
Anti-science, Anti-evolution. Interesting all the people who never graduated from High School
Al Gore admit it: you're in bed with the scientists. Who needs science? Let's let the other countries use science. We have God on our side.
This is full of adolescent and misinformed histrionics, all right, but not what Mr. Gore has said, but rather your asinine comments about it.
I think your all a bunch of idiots on here. Al Gore has been a crusader of a better world for years. At least Al Gore is spreading the word about something effecting our society as opposed to Dick Cheney who spreads hate on Fox News. You all really need to grow up. Step across your party lines for once. Is Dick Cheney such a great man to you? A man who profits from war…global genocide?
Pinky and the Brain used Al Gore as Eyeore full of hot air to fly to their destination. What a great portrait of this idiot.
I guess all the "experts" in Global Warming have failed to note the receding ice flows and the multitude of Polar Bears that drown every year as the ice flows are reduced. I think that all the "hate mongers" who decry ""Global Warming is a SCAM" also like to watch as baby seals are clubbed to death for the sake of flawless furs. Are people really that hate filled that the color of a persons skin makes him/her a poor leader? This is truly amazing to me!
It is sad when people like this let their political opinions get in the way of scientific evidence. Ms. Kyle Ann Shiver you clearly have something against a lot of different people and you have have some deep seeded anger issues you need to work out. For one it seems that if someone expresses emotions they are classified as "Girls"….When is it bad to be a Girl or a Boy or a Woman or a Man…..Even though you clearly are a woman, you happen to be an all out sexist. Your rant was riddled with anti female rhetoric. Secondly you seem to be anti Science…..I am not sure why anyone would be anti science. Look at all of the positive things Science has done for us, all of the medical inventions, the accomplishments, etc. Global warming is not even a debate anymore, and this is agreed upon by Republicans and Democrats. The causes of Global warming is what is being debated, but we are all in agreement that our global climate in on a warming trend. If you go to any science classroom in America and look at the statistical data for the past couple millions of years you can see the patterns…. We are clearly on a warming trend…I am not sure why this is even a debate for you. Now I can understand if you don't like or trust politicians…I personally don't either….but don't let your distrust of politicians cloud your mind with hate so much that you cant be fair on non political issues. No matter how you slice it Global Warming is real and it is here… it affects us all and someone has to do something about it, when people like yourself spread anti science propaganda only because you do not like the politician who is saying it, you are making this issue just that much harder to fix. It is time for you to grow up, be objective and logical, work to resolve these issues and stop arguing for the sake of arguing. You are an adult, act like it.
AL GORE IS A FRAUD, ALWAY WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. HE REMINDS ME OF DR. SPOCK THE FAMOUS BABY DOCTOR OF THE 1950S. AFTER TELLING MILLIONS OF MOTHERS HOW TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN HE FINALLY ADMITTED, TOWARD THE END OF HIS LIFE,THAT HE WAS WRONG AND APOLIGIZED FOR ALL THE HARM HE CAUSED. AL GORE, LIKE SARA PALIN REMAINS ON THE NATIONAL SCENE BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA ATTENTION. IF NOBODY REPORTED ON THEM FOR 2-3 MONTHS THEY WOULD FADE AWAY.
I don't see how you jump to gender politics from climate change after reading his piece. Nothing he says there is new, nor is it controversial unless you are wedded to fossil fuel and dramatic climate change in our lifetimes. To cast this as being about manhood is a cheap shot and does nothing to further the debate, should you actually want to communicate with undecided humans. But if you want to make light of someone, I guess it works for the low-brows.
Unimpressed.
Is this girl a writer or a Coulter? All I see is some spew from the right wing whack job corp. We have all of your unsupported opinions now prove it's a fairlytale Miss I-couldn't-get-laid-in-a-men's-prison..
I understand the column, but what's with the picture of Thunderthighs Palin? Is she looking for one of her prop kids?
Despite what the deniers say, global warming is real and we are causing it. I'm sure it's pure coincidence that the deniers are driven by the exact same giant multinational corporations who have caused the problem and will be hurt by going green.
You pay $2.69 for a gallon of gas, you think the oil companies are selling that at $2,50? Hell no, they're selling it for 47 cents a gallon and pocketing the rest. How else do you think they've had record profits while the rest of the world's economy has been in the crapper? And every single anti-global warming study has been funded by oil companies or people cozy with oil companies. There's your money trail, there's your big lie.
By now, though, I'm at the point where I say we let it happen. Let America be alone yet again while the rest of the world turns to solve this issue, creating millions of jobs and spending trillions of dollars… of which the US will see nothing. Because that's the kind of pig-headed idiocy America has become known for in the rest of the world.
We are marginalizing ourselves with this kind of stupidity, and those of us who know that the science is valid will get to say, "I told you so." It's cold comfort at this point, but that's becoming the best we can hope for.
If global warming is not real, you flat earthers, then why is China preparing to fight for the shipping lanes in the arctic ocean when they open up? Whay are countries fighting amonst themselves about minearl rights once the ice breaks up? Are they just stupid? Or should all of you be called the ostrich party for burying your heads in the sand and spewing lie lie lie. It isn't true. Never mind the facts, it isn't true because I don't see it.
Just keep your head right in the sand. Your grandchildren will be so grateful.
Wake up people. Y'all are a bunch of pathetic morons. Read more than what Fox News and its denizens (look it up) feed you.
Man-bear-pig. I'm super, super cereal.
Too much hyperbole in your column, Kyle-Ann. Ironically, you suffer from what you accuse Gore of. In both case, credibility is reduced.
I love how self-insulting this blog is. What does Mr. Gore's gender have to do with this debate at all? Doesn't it say something about your critique when you consistently rely on ad hominem attacks, which are logical fallacies? You also seem to imply that being "tough" and "not sissy" are the qualities of "real men". What is a "real" man, then? I was always under the impression that being a man or woman wasn't really a choice (excluding the complicated surgery). I wake up as a man because I have a penis and more or less of certain hormones, I can't change my mind moment to moment about these things, they just are. If I say something emotional, does it really make me less of a man. I hope some other commenter calls me a sissy, I really do. It would only validate my sneaking suspicion that "conservatives", or whatever you call yourselves, are by and large a reactionary and very uneducated group, content to throw logic by the way side and shit on the West's unparalleled scientific tradition.
Are you guys still talking about the emails? Do you think that because a few people engage in unethical behavior that whatever opinions were held by such people must be wrong? That's ad hominem again. If I say I believe in global warming and I lie to others to get them to believe it, this does not disprove global warming. My actions, as an individual, do not necessarily influence the correctness of my beliefs. Shooting someone in the head who doesn't believe that the Earth is a sphere would be highly unethical, but that does not demonstrate one way or another if the Earth being a sphere is an invalid belief. I know scientists that are republicans and libertarians too, and they laugh at people like you. Your critique is an insult to intelligent arguments that reasonably criticize global warming research. To just turn everything into a black/white, right/wrong issue, though, is to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
And another thing, what is all of this about Gore's personal fortune? Does anyone really think that Gore will be forced out of the ruling elites because Cap and Trade doesn't pass? This is just stupid. Gore will remain ultra wealthy, just like all ruling elites. They protect each other and look out for each other. Republicans signed TARP too, don't forget about that. Money comes in all colors and persuasions, and money tends to protect itself. This stuff is bigger than one man. Al Gore and Glenn Beck are merely two sides of the same coin. Don't get caught up in the imaginary "red state" "blue state" paradigm, its not real.
Keep throwing up the straw men though, you guys look so triumphant knocking them down. You have lots to be afraid of out there.
Who is this Ann Couter wannabe? Sorry, but global warming is real and I am no fan of Al Gore's. "Barf bag?" I haven't head that term in my days at Princeton fifty years ago. Does she also think the world is flat? I suppose she thinks Lindsey Graham is a girly man also for proposing a carbon tax. The Chinese know its real and are ahead with electric cars and other forms of technology, money makers all. In a new study, America came in 40th amongst industrial nations in innovation. America needs dynamic industrial capitalists to create the new job-creating industries for the post-carbon age, not this kind of drivel.
Too bad that scientific debate has descended to calling someone a pussy. Frankly, I don't understand why people insist on using oil despite climate warnings, the lack of cash to pay $80+ a gallon and the threat to our national security. So, even if oil doesn't hurt the environment, shouldn't we be investing in flex fuel cars and trucks that run on natural gas?
Party time for the bed-wetting Right. This article is as idiotic as the Gore story.
That shock therapy should be with about 30 thousand volts for 20 minutes!
Nice neocon echo chamber you've got going here.
Oh, and nice headshot, Kyle-Anne. Did you end up suing Tim Burton for using your likeness in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"?
Quite the right-wing rag you have here. Go ahead and continue to ignore the science, the last decade was the hottest on record, your opinions will not not save humanity from its own short-sightedness. Glaciers are going away and we will soon follow. Bye now.
Anyone here ever get an A in high school?
"What is the world coming to, when grown men who call themselves Americans, are reduced in public to fairytale-spewing girly-men?"
- That's the wimpy, PC 21st century for you.
"Al, do America a favor and turn in your man card – pronto. If you don’t, then we real women of the U.S.A. are sending Sarah Palin over to collect it."
-That would motivate me NOT to turn it in if I were Al, but that's beside the point.
This is a good article for pointing out the lies and the hoax, but I think Al Gore is the SECOND carbon-credit billionaire, and former U.N. Chairman Maurice Strong is the first, and the richest and most powerful.
Even if the scientists backing the eco-fascists WERE NOT lying, self-promoting and grant-gobbling, it would be high time for a good, hard look at the world they are asking us to preserve, protect, and love – a world where people have to pay just to live in it, pay just to live on the land. The people are forced to obey a bunch of laws and procedures most had no say in writing up, including laws that make vagrancy and loitering – the mere act of EXISTING – crimes.
Not familiar with this site, but am surprised at the viciousness of the commentary.____Any thinking individual is aware that our affect on this planet is harming same. Say what you want about Gore – but don't simply be satisfied with 'killing the messenger'.____There are those who will deny global warming. They simply do not want to alter their lifestyles. They lack mental curiousity – to them a cold winter's day means global warming is a hoax.____As it typical, the intellectually-gifted segment of our society will have to 'clean up this mess' left by others who simply do not want to change their wasteful behaviour. Biggest worry is that it may literally be 'too late' to fix this.
I don't really care for Al Gore, I think he's a moron. But you are a million times worse. Way to be sexist and hate your own gender. All I got out of this post was that you think the best way to insult a man is to compare him to a woman because woman are apparently just a bunch of whiny, irrational cry-babies. Shame on you.
The thing that gives me the most hope and a badly needed lift to the old soul is to finally read comments from people who are laughing outloud. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Al Gore and his tribe of dolts have been running rampant for years getting the whole world worked up at a financial cost of billions and an emotional cost of …….Wow..Thank God, the stars, aliens or whoever is responsible for finally exposing these people for the charlatans they are so that the rest of us can go back to living our lives without getting covered everyday with their drivel.
I think following the money is a good idea. Unfortunately it leads us to many businesses that will lose money if climate change is real. Huge businesses like oil companies that are able to spend millions attacking poorly paid scientists. These thousands of scientists will not gain anything if climate change is real except many attacks from a loud group of vitriolic people. It is too bad that we live in this age of hatred towards science and truth.
Wow…. yea odveously al gore is making this all up. He would be the first political guy to over exagerate a Real issue… Not like that Sarah Pauline, who single handidly came up with that death council stuff… Hey al gore has a big boat so let's all NOT do anything for our planet..Its odveously just fine…. Lady, your a propaganda whore and you make women look dumb. Mutch like your girl Sarah. Tool!
This writer of this article about Al Gore, and most of the responders, are true idiots whose reality is completely upside-down. They think Al Gore, who is acting with most of the world scientists by his side, is a liar, and believe Sarah Palin as "genuine". The stupidity would be laughable if it weren't so sad — and dangerous, because the mental disease they radiate is becoming all-too-common in America. America needs a cure from these ignorant foamers-at-the-mouth, who know nothing about the real world, and only have their negative emotions for fuel.
What did you expect, there are people here who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old.
I'm not the biggest fan of Gore's ideas, but I don't think its fair to make fun of his sexuality. How would you like an article about you: "Kyle-Ann Shiver Goes Dyke, Rants Against Former Veep". Better just discuss the facts of the case without making personal attacks.
Congratulations Kyle-Anne. I have been nearly everywhere on the internet, and I have _never_ seen a more concentrated collection of willful ignorance anywhere. You should take these "scientists" to Washington to disprove climate change with their fantastic grasp of the issue.
If you don't know a damn thing about cars, you don't tell your neighbor what's wrong with his transmission. Do you know a damn thing (really) about the climate? It is much more complicated than a car. Think about that.
Wow, big surprise here. A bunch of conservatives, rednecks, naysayers, and supposed "food scientists" don't agree with the experts who have spent their adult lives studying climates and earth sciences.
When the water levels rise I hope you all drown.
you people are all a bunch of turbo-turds. hopefully you will all wake up one day. i don't agree with mr. gore on everything, but you are making complete fools of yourselves. and what is up with the terms "girly-man" "hissy fit" "ultra-feminine side"? why are they used? to promote a unified view of him as weak? you are such total weirdos.
Keep your heads in the sand, folks. I've never heard such ignorance peddling since Dewey defeated Truman.
And irrespective of the science, why do you people fight so hard to keep the planet more polluted, more wasteful, and spew hate for anyone trying to clean the earth and its air up? Teddy Roosevelt and Barry Goldwater would be ashamed.
[...] This was too much fun to pass up! Thank you Kyle-Anne Shiver!! Who wrote this delightful piece… http://bigjournalism.com/kashiver/2010/02/28/former-veep-goes-girly-man-has-hissy-fit-in-pages-of-ne... [...]
This article and list of comments make me retch into the nearest barf bag.
Please explain why our planet's ice caps are melting at an accelerated rate ? Perhaps, the answer lies between both sides of the aisle: (i). Natural climate change; (ii). Catalysts promulgated by man (C02 emissions). Moreover, can we
all agree that pollution is good for our air, water, soil, food chain and mankind ?
Wouldn't it be amusing if he has the last laugh? Deride him all you want – in the end, if the US ends up looking like an Edgar Cayce dreamscape (no East or West Coast as we know it) perhaps then he'll be vindicated. Until then, have your fun.

Wow, you guys are heading dangerously close to sounding like you are against intellectualism in general….off with all their heads…a la Stalin? Mao? The conservative right has gone so far right it's now far far far left!
the only thing i weep for in this blog (blogs, after all, being largely an outlet for the stupid to let others confirm the fact) is the way the writer, a female, degrades her own sex and then uses sarah palin (SARAH PALIN!) at the end to make it sound as if she's the most enlightened feminist out there. Al Gore may not have been entirely right, but no one on the planet is. Who are you (or we) to judge? Please stop taking notes on a ripped piece of a Ho Ho's box while watching Fox News on a mini-tv in your kitchen while you cook dinner for your fat husband and filthy children. Your blog entry was amusing, yes, but ultimately much more telling about your unjustified sense of entitlement and backward sense of female equality.
Yeah but he still invented the internet!
Congratulations, Kyle-Anne Shiver: nothing discredits your discourse more than your own derogatory invective. This pandering to your audience with that level of crap really does show your desperation for syndication…on the lowest level.
The bottom line is this: at any given moment, the ocean waves hitting the U.S. shores do so with 100 times more power than we generate by burning oil, gas, or coal; and, more than half the time, the sun is hitting our back yards, roofs, and cars with 900 Watts of power per square yard. To NOT invest in harnessing all this power, and instead focus on burning the dwindling reserves of hydrocarbons – is just plain incredibly stupid.
Al Gore may have picked THE WRONG horse for his carriage, but there are thousands of incontrovertible reports showing mankind's effect on the environment, backed by honest and impartial people who are a lot smarter than you or me. I'd rather invest a few bucks in finding a better way to harness what is bountifully available naturally, than the trillion we're spending securing oil rights in Iraq. And Anne – look for a better way to make a living.
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. Really, whose writing is more hysterical – his or hers?
Just back from reading the mentioned Gore article in NYTimes. Before that I had never read anything written by him, nor have see his docu-film. I did watch him speak once on TV, and that was only a sound bite connected with the film. So I had no access to the basis for all the kerfuffle surrounding your former Veep.
But I have to say that in the article he was completely articulate and clear on the issues. A very solid rational rendering of what we are facing, and why were not making any gains to speak of in remedying our problems.
Read a number of the posts here and I have to say they are very pathetic responses. Childish but dark tantrums….just simply lashing out from the inability to confront the truths of our current times. Mostly likely because of an unconscious reaction to one's own complicity in the collusion to live self-indulgently with little respect for the sacredness of Nature….et cetera etcetera…. Sad really.
Sad, because these posts are an indication why humankind at this time will not likely be able bring a quick turnaround of the juggernaut of destruction menacing our planet.in close-to-fatal ways.
Burn Algore at the stake and check out the size of his carbon footprint.
Dear conservatives,
scientific thinking and conservatism are mutually exclusive. Please stop trying.
Thank you.
It's one thing to disagree, it is quite another to write with all the journalistic care of a chimpanzee. You are an utter hack who somehow prides herself on being worthy of being a journalist. Wow…you have a blog to allow you to spit this bitter, cringe-worthy stupid and utterly bankrupt piece of a steaming pile of words that you managed to type.
Disagree at will if you believe that human-caused global warming is a "hoax" (although STILL 98% of the confirmed science proves it and you continue to cherry pick the low hanging fruit of contested evidence). But really, dear, there is little excuse for STUPIDITY, especially when it is wrapped in all of your ugly, petty, angry white indignation. But keep at it. Somehow Google headlined your piece, which only proves that any fool with a keyboard and a strill voice can get attention from a media too lazy to parse out the morons from those who actually research and look for truth.
Pathetic.
Another one in the long line of authors whom we can dismiss as ignorant and hence irrelevant. Only Americans could take pride in their dumbness and in their ability to give writing space to columnists who exult in not knowing facts before spouting nonsense. Dear Ms. Shiver, geological and scientific analyses conducted by the Exxon-Mobils, Chevrons, BP's, Shell's and most of the world's petroleum companies say that even if we were to open up all our land and all our offshore areas to drilling, we would still be massively dependent on Arab oil. Know why? The US has only 5% of the world's reserves, while we consume upwards of 20% of the output alone. Next time you sit down to write a column, I strongly suggest you first unplug the computer, put your finger in the wall outlet and zap yourself a few hundred volts. Perhaps, what may then come out might atleast be coherent.
You can't refute any of the claims Al Gore makes with facts, so you go on the attack, calling him names. Very classy. Also, we could drill everywhere in the United States all day long, killing every single caribou in Alaska if necessary. But even the Bush Administration acknowledge that we use so much oil, we would still have to buy it from Arab countries. You may like saying "drill baby, drill," but it won't solve doodley squat.
This posting is devoid of factual support. When a person reduces their argument to name calling, it is a clear indicator they have nothing valid to offer. Everyone learns this in grade school. Sad.
All this talk of money: companies in the fossil fuels industry profited $600 billion during 2001-2008. But that has nothing to do with this, does it? And we all feel so good about Saudi Arabia getting 25 cents of every dollar spent at the fuel pump, don't we? The sun and the wind will give out eventually.
(For those of you who are scratching your head, I'm being sarcastic).
(Notice I have the cajones to use my actual name in my signature)
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? DONY'T YOU READ THE NEWS THAT ALL THIS GLOBLE WARMING BS IS JUST THAT, BS. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND.
One would hope that Michael Walsh – or SOMEBODY – at "Big Journalism" would be responsible enough to proof-read and fact-check (and, presumably, reject) this piece which is obviously nothing more than a prime example of the kind of hate-trumps-reasoned-discussion, partisan-politics-trumps-everything, tabloid-quality spew that has made everyone with more than a couple of functioning brain cells leery of anything purporting to be JOURNALISM. Ms. Shiver, what makes you see something sexual in Mr. Gore's NYT article? What makes you call it a "hissy fit"? I am not an authority on Global Warming, so I can't comment on technical details in this article, but I am well-read enough to recognize a measured, reasoned piece of writing when I see it.
Ha Ha Ha!!!! Conservatives say the darndest things!!!! Hey Crazy Cons, stick with what you know best, like Teabagging! I've read that your Teabagging meetings have been going exceedingly well!
On the one hand you say, " When people lie through their teeth to make obscene profits on the backs of working people", but isn't the common opposition to climate change legislation that it will cripple profits? And how come you're not lauding his entrepreneurial spirit?
Ms. Shiver should write a book.
“The Power of Stupid”
This entire debate (and health care) points to an immediate need for an honest press. Even FOX is suspect with the 7% ownership by a Saudi Prince and HIS claim to have forced FOX to stop covering riots in France.
If we do not have an honest press then those who are easily swayed can be convinced to ignore history and the damage done by large intrusive governments.
Without an honest press, the climate change crowd will continue to have some traction.
We need more honest press than FOX on TV and more in the print media and certainly more honesty on the internet were all so many seem to fall into the trap of exaggeration, distortions, and outright lies to promote a point.
An honest debate without the name calling would be so refreshing.
With an honest press, Al Gore and those scientists who betrayed the scientific method would have been laughed off the world stage.
Al Gore is a joke! While our freedoms and the middle class are sold off to the corporations this is what your all whining about! Government (big or small) has at least some accountability to the people but Corporations have none.
"When people lie through their teeth to make obscene profits on the backs of working people" – Such as the banks and investment firms bailed out by Republicans (who are never on the side of the middle class, just the rich, which is a category most of you don't belong to. Of course that won't stop you from voting for these same people who gave away all of your jobs!
So all you suckers buying into these pre scripted controversies should under stand this slight of hand and perhaps take a look at what the other hand is doing. Robbing you blind!
And maybe actually taking some advice from the Bible, instead of just using it to tell others what to do, and try treating others how you wish to be treated. But for many so called conservatives it's much easier to be a hypocrite.
An honest press is, indeed, important. However, I think the most crucial solution is more teabagging!!! The Cons have to be even more dedicated to teabagging!!!
I am all for good debate on the subject but this article seems to be a blatant personal attack. It comes off as being arrogant and homophobic. It is sad to see people whooped up into a frenzy like this when we could be having a real discussion. I want to see the US energy independent and I want to make sure we have a healthy environment in which to live. Regardless of global warming we know that it is not good to pollute our air. That is obvious for anyone. I don't believe cap and trade is the right way to go about regulating pollution and I'd like to hear real ideas on how to go about achieving energy independence without polluting our environment. This article seems more interested in laughing and making mean spirited remarks than contributing to the discussion. Shame on you.
Advice from the bible???? No thanks, I will stick with my favorite book of Fairy Tales, The Brothers Grimm. It is far more believable!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kyle-Anne for exposing this fraud for what it is. Please keep at it.
Has anybody cosidered that we can not create or destroy a Carbon atom.
All carbon atoms which exist on earth now have always existed on earth.
So this is what "journalism" has come to. It is curious that a rich Democrat bothers you so much, but a rich Republican does not. This orgy of namecalling accomplishes nothing. Big Journalism is nothing but a blog, and a not very intelligent one at that.
What's wrong with all of you? Al Gore means nothing. Why do you care what he says?
Does anyone here think its a good idea to reduce our oil use? Does anyone want to stop sending our money and our soldiers overseas to people who hate us?
Wow. There is a lot of anger here. I'm not clear what's making this columnist quite so angry–and the people posting. The vitriol seems a lot bigger than the target (Al Gore and global warming). Does it seem that threatening to maybe drive a more fuel efficient car? Or turn off a light in the house? Seems like good sense to me.
"…the prospect of cheap, inexhaustible power from fusion is 'like giving a machine gun to an idiot child,' Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich says." LA Times, ~April 20, 1989
Ugh, the writing sucks. I couldn't get past all those trying-to-be-ever-so clever adjectives in the first sentence.
Gore is an idiot, plain and simple. What would anyone expect from an idiot? Years ago, when he was the democrats choice for president, he couldn't carry his home state, shouldn't that tell the rest of us something???????? Like maybe, they truly know Al Gore is an idiot. A friend once told me, "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken $hit", that seems to apply to Al Gore in total, not in just what he says but what he does. Al gore is an idiot and full of chicken $hit!

probably the best summary of gore-illa i have ever read. but to be fair, all you really had to do was be an editor; gore himself gave you one gore-onic detail after another to comment on. nice touch w/ the syncophant…gore is probably looking this word up to see if it is an extinct ancestor of the elephant to claim another reason why global warming is here,,,it's been killing zillions of things for zillions of years and must be stopped…
There are many valid threats to the end of life on earth including the sun expanding as it gets older, massive volcanic eruptions, gamma ray bursts, change in earth's orbit due to the moon moving away, etc. Some of these threats are a ways off. Some can not be predicted accurately and could happen sooner than we are able to overcome them.
In the grand scheme of things all life on earth will die – at least within a billion years when the sun expands. It would be my contention then that in the short term we increase the odds of ourselves living on earth until we can engineer ourselves to be able to live in other parts of space. However, we should not lose sight of the fact that life on earth is temporal and will end sooner or later.
In the short term, our biggest threat that we can control is overpopulation of humans. Most threats to our ecosystem is not due to slight increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or slight increase in temperature. It is due to more and more human encroachment over the environment of other living things, over-consumption of resources like water and too much pollution.
There is only so far that technical advancements will allow for increased efficiency in land and resource utilization. More and more creatures will die as the human population expands which may adversely affect the biosystem that allows us to live currently. Instead of having debates about universal health care and global warming – the real debate should be about what is a sustainable human population on earth and how we rationally maintain such population. It could be that we need to let people die naturally instead of trying to keep them alive through extraordinary medical measures and costs like a universal health care system and discourage families from having more children than they can support by eliminating various means of welfare. It could also mean that we ask people to limit the amount of children they have. Because if the population is not controlled rationally then it will be controlled irrationally – like through war.
As for living beyond earth my current thought is we become more silicon based through advancements in brain machine interface research. If we can make ourselves more robotic so we can survive without air, plants and animals then we will have many more planets to live on. Some may object to changing our human form but the human form will evolve on other planets anyway so it is a mute point.
All the Al Gore hating in the world isn't stopping the polar ice cap from melting and glaciers from receding.
It's really wonderful to hear from all of you scientists who were not consulted in this survey!
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/01/19/eco….
Honestly I have no idea how this snuck onto the Google News frontpage but I can only assume that's why some rational thought has made its way into the comments. People above me (cwh, Common Sense, etc) have made the points I wanted to make but I really needed to chime in on how mindblowingly hipocritical and silly this "article" is.
Regardless of what side you're on, you've debased your entire opinion by framing it around a discussion of Al Gore's "girliness". I thought at first this actually had to be some Onionesque sort of joke but no… you actually repeatedly reference it.
"What is the world coming to, when grown men who call themselves Americans, are reduced in public to fairytale-spewing girly-men?
Al, do America a favor and turn in your man card – pronto. If you don’t, then we real women of the U.S.A. are sending Sarah Palin over to collect it."
These statements are so outright stupid and juvenile you should be embarrassed. So.. women who believe global warming is a problem aren't "real"? I guess thats a moot point really because apparently feminine attributes are pathetic.
Oh but just keep shouting about girly-men and real women. I'm sure that will solve all of our problems.
You are a kool-aid drinking fool, Mike. Polar bears don't drown are EXCELLENT SWIMMERS, often swimming many miles from one ice flow to another. They have been swimming since most of North America was covered by Glaciers. Look it up, Ploar Bear population has INCREASED dramatically in the past few decades.
You should pull your head out and listen for just a second or two. Those "hate mongers" as you call them do not "decry Global Warmingis a SCAM", are trying to tell you that MAN-MADE GW is the scam. Thank god that the globe is warming, and has been for several thousand years. If it were not for NATURAL Global Warming, we humans would not be able to inhabit most of the land mass on earth.
You are the "hate filled" of which you speak. If you would hate less and listen and think more you too could figure out that Al and his cronies are nothing more than greedy, hypocritical liars.
The only problem is that if Al's wrong, it's no big deal. The planet goes on doing whatever it does because of sunspots and other natural causes. If he's right, and that's a big IF, things could get dicey. Now if he's wrong and we spend huge sums of money to stop the pollution, at least we've cleaned up our house and created a few useless jobs (if getting off foreign oil is useless). If he's right and we do nothing, it's curtains for anyone living even close to sea level. Personally I don't give a rat's a** who's right. I hope he's as wrong as can be, because I don't like the outcome if he's right. But when it comes down to placing a bet as to weather I should do nothing and hope for the best, or do something as insurance, I'll choose the latter. It seems like the smartest thing to do. Let Al be wrong! But don't put your money on it because there's nothing to gain.
But he's "Thuper, thuper, CEREAL!!"
Al baby, ManBearPig is dead.

Wow, you people are really really stupid. Do you really think that you can burn hundreds of millions of years worth of oil and put all that pollution into the air without changing anything? I don't give a rat's @$$ about Al Gore, but climate change is a reality. I don't think that there is any way you people will ever realize that when 99% of the smartest people on the planet take something seriously that there might be something to it, so I just take comfort in knowing that I will be dead before the $h!t really hits the fan.
This was the worst piece of garbage writing I have read in a long time. (I have an MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism–the top j-school in the US). If this is what reporting has sunk to, this country is finished. I don't know which is more depressing–this piece, or the slew of ignorant blowhard reader's comments…GET OUT INTO THE WORLD, see the planet firsthand, and then you'll understand there is something to what Gore is talking about!
This is baseless trash. The reporter doesn't discuss any facts at all. Just assumes that Global Warming has been discredited. Which it has not. The majority of scientists still believe that the earth is warming, and that its not just a cyclical phenomena. But people who believe in a magical God-that-will-save-humanity can't stand to hear news that makes them feel unsecure. So the same forces, terror at insecurity, that make them rile up at it and go on living their same old lives.
HOWEVER, Al Gore IS a bit of a hypocrite for having that big housboat and jet ski. His mansion, however, was inheirited from his Dad who was already rich. But, yeah, if he was really concerned about the state of the world he could divest a little more cash to charity, as could scads of other rich people, and still live comfortably.
This is nothing more than a rhethorical Political hack-job and has no substinance of meaning, no matter your views. And Sara Palin as a real woman? Get real. I'm tired of this bullshit. Where are the real writers in America? It was bad before, but writing like this just shows how bad, dumbed down, and agenda dividing it has gotten. Your next piece is going to be about what? Gay marriage? Terrorism? Abortion? Taxes? Worthless dividing topic bs with no answers thats only meant to further political positioning… no irony that the end of the article ends with Palin. It's not even overt anymore. Total hackery. Get a real job.
This "article" is about as immature as Al's.
You're the idiots who don't believe the sky is falling because you don't see it happening. Our grandchildren won't hate us because there won't be any.
Real women, indeed anyone with sense, wouldn't be sending Sarah Palin to do anything. There are clueless conservatives just like there are clueless liberals and clueless moderates Palin-ites are clueless. Palin evangelistas are among the most clueless.
BTW Shiver, the childish ignorance displayed in terms "like "real man" "man card" "girly man" is even more stupid than the many myths about global warming. Woman up and get some self-respect.!
.
She needs to ditch that photo too. She looks like the witch from snow white. Or the leather-skinned woman from There's something About Mary. I'm sure she scares lots of children and old people when she goes out in public. Blecch… what an orange faced hag.
Bush, Cheney, Rice, Speedy Gonzalez, Ashcroft, et al all "lied thru their teeth", but as this blog indicates, most of you "really, really, really, really " are OK with being lied to
jesus, are you an asshole or what? you are exactly what's wrong with the cry baby right: oh we didn't get our way! let's bury our heads way up each others assholes and think that makes us wise and perceptive! do yourself a favor and go die.
in any case, whether global warming is real or not, oil is a finite substance on this planet. it's a non renewable fossil fuel. and we may get 20 more years out of it or we may get 200 more years out of it, before the planet runs dry. that's fact, not conjecture or liberal garbage. oil is a non renewable fossil fuel. the answer to energy problems may be "dig baby dig" for a time, but it won't last forever. some day, near or far, the world's oil supply will be depleted, and if it's our children's lifetime or our great great great grand children's lifetime, don't we owe it to them to begin now searching for alternative renewable sources of energy? the dig baby dig mentality is ego-hegemonic driven nonsense and gives no thought to our energy problem outside of "the liberals think we should do this." don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and ignore the chunks of the climate/energy crisis that are in fact true just because you see the whole picture as coming from a lunatic. you should be ashamed of yourself for your ignorant dig baby dig mentality
Nicely said Scott. I too am a scientist, but not an climate type. I think if a scientist of one flavor cannot make sense to another scientist of a different but related flavor, with a reasonable amount of effort on both sides, then something is wrong with the message. I am probably closer to you, physical chemist, to the climate people, but the numbers and the alarm never made much sense to me, and I looked at a lot of papers.
I hate being lied to.
To the AGW alarmists: "Don't pee on my head and tell me it is AGW."
Al craves respect, but he turned himself into a cartoon character to be laughed at. He must be suffering a great deal.
Some one on another thread somewhere thought Bigfoot would be a great cartoon characture for him.
omg you people are so up your own asses its unbelievable..
Want a shocker? The University of Tennessee, main educational institution that Al never attended in a state that went for Bush/Cheney over Gore/Leiberman, is planning to award him an honorable degree, one that has only gone before to Howard Baker and Dolly Parton. Don't scoff at Dolly until you check out what she's done with her money. There are a few volunteers that think this is nonsense. I'd bet there's some money changing hands. What a disgrace !
Wow, a bunch of right wing hicks, ripping on Al Gore, great thing you've done here, instead of a thoughtful critique of an editorial, we get a bunch of 13 year old girl tactics, like calling someone a girl. I didn't realize that being a girl was a bad thing. If you doubt the science on global warming, then you are brainwashed. At least Al Gore is trying to something positive for this world, instead of just starting wars that were not justified, or paid for. If Al Gore was worried about making money, he could have stayed out of the lime light, and made his millions in a much easier way. Why would he got through the headaches of the global warming crisis if all he was interested in was making money. Please grow up. This country will continue its downward slide into partisan b.s., as long as we all act like teenagers. There is a reason you can't vote until 18.
Taken from Wikipedia today:
"The U.S. Geological Survey predicts two-thirds of the world's polar bears will disappear by 2050, based on moderate projections for the shrinking of summer sea ice caused by global warming.[51] The bears would disappear from Europe, Asia, and Alaska, and be depleted from the Arctic archipelago of Canada and areas off the northern Greenland coast. By 2080, they would disappear from Greenland entirely and from the northern Canadian coast, leaving only dwindling numbers in the interior Arctic archipelago.[51]"
The vast majority of scientists still believe that global warming is real. No credible new eveidence has changed this. And the article's author doesn't introduce any new facts or statements..just hype.
But then "tired of the lies" I suppose if you believe that a magical god is going to somehow come and save humanity regardless, none of this really worries you anyway….even if you did believe it.
Haha none of you people believe in global warming at all do you? This article was clearly crafted for the right-wing. Do yourself a favor and sit in your car in the garage, turn it on and close the garage door. If you truly believe that pumping emissions into the environment isn't a problem tell me a few hours after you began that process.
Got to love science haters… what would be great is if you guys could stick your heads in the ground a little further so we wouldn't have to hear your stupid hatred spewing from your black hearts.
I agree with you. Drill baby drill and dig baby dig are not the answers. There has to be a clear middle ground to stretch the resouces out for a long time. The problem I have with the Bigfoot (Al) is that he is lying, and he knows it. He thinks we are all children and he is the wise shaman of energy. He cranked up his message too much thinking that the masses would follow. He wants so bad to be the pied piper of hamlen, but he turned himself into a sort of weak joke. Maybe a more reasonable less shrill more rational messenger can bring the two sides together with a proper solution. In the mean time, the sky will not fall, I promise.
hmmmm… he actually won the popular vote
you're all a bunch of fat labia lickin' Palin lovers (isn't she the white trash ignoramus of the year). Hope your Florida homes all float away and your dogs die. Don't say we didn't warn you. And as for the profiteering you allege: please clean up your own back yard; Republicans have always voted against their own best interest, duped the very politicians MOST concerned with the capitalist bottom line. Drop dead all of you, you suck. Really
Wow, that was absolute PWNAGE. You sure showed all those idiotic, tree hugging, Democrats a thing or two. I can't believe those dumb hippies believe that one day the oil will run out or that too much C02 is bad, hell we exhale the stuf don't we? Dummies. Rock on… Sarah Palin 2012!
Lied to? Are you talking about Weapons of Mass Distruction, or the scientific conclusions of the majority of climate scientists?
There is no denying that glaciers are shrinking or that the polar ice caps are melting, or that MASSIVE chunks of Antarctica are breaking off. What is causing it may be debatable, but to say that Al Gore is somehow behind it all is a bit much, don't you think?
"The American people really, really, really hate being lied to."
This isn't true. If it were, then the whole situation regarding Iraq, Bush, Cheney, etc would have caused a much larger outcry — the American people weren't just lied to, they were outright deceived. If you need to take it smaller, look at Clinton and his lying – nope, he's still really popular. Of course, these are polarizing figures, but, in general, they've been forgiven by the majority of Americans that aren't hyper polarized by party.
So, it's not lying people have a problem with … so, here, let me correct your statement:
"The American people really, really, really hate being uncomfortable."
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up … physically or emotionally uncomfortable, they can't handle that.
Wow, you folks are really right-wingnuts.
Wow. It's amazing how global warming bashers don't seem to be especially bothered by providing any facts of science to back up their bashing. Of course, facts and science don't matter to them except when it comes to the science that helps build a bigger pickup truck or get more oil out of the ground. And where is this nonsense that people like Al Gore want to get rich off global warming? There are far easier ways to get rich, people. Ask Donald Trump. Hell, ask Sarah Palin. She gets $100,00 per speaking engagement just to read scribble notes from her hand. Regardless, the science of global warming hardly matters. The fact of the matter is that the United States is being left in the dust by China and India. Twenty years from now China and India are going to own the world (they own 75% of it now), they are go to be the leaders in alternative energy and just about everything else, and we're going to be still driving our 2010 pickup trucks and SUVs down to work at McDonald's and Walmart. We can drill all we want, but a 200-year-old technology is not going to help us in the long run.
I see a lot of comments about the obscene profits which stand to be made by the likes of Al Gore. Why have none of you admitted that the people debunking global warming are the same people who stand to continue to make obscene profits with unsustainable business practices. Whether or not you believe in global warming, dumping our garbage into the land, air and water is having a negative effect on our environment. As the rest of the world aspires to live like Americans, we will need to make real changes in the way we impact the planet earth.
My god, this is what passes for serious commentary? It sounds like the thoughts of a high schooler! Al Gore may not be right about the best thing to do given the facts of this situation, but words to the effect of "Al Gore is a sissy. He makes me want to barf" is juvinile. This shows how far we've fallen.
This post and its comments are so much vomit. Shiver's vitriol isn't even believable enough get a rise out of moderates like myself: its evident she doesn't even believe herself! After all, its just about getting paid for the article. Right Kyle-Ann?
Is this site called "Bad Journalism"? An extremist from the right attacking an extremist from the left but using grade school name calling to prove her point. Perhaps Mister Shiver could get some pointers from AG on how to tap the feminine side. Al might be persuing his own agenda but we still need to find new and better ways to produce power or we will end up leaving an open pit mine as our legacy to the future.
Al?…what horsepower MOTORS does your house mansion boat have?…I bet you still run regular gas….LOL
All I hear is a bunch of crying here. You all just a bunch of fags, running your mouth, and gossiping like bitches. Fucking get back to work, you working-poor slaves you, so you can feed your illegitimate, toothless, blue-collar, ignorant, gun-toting babies.
This is not a real opinion column by a serious journalist. Sarah Palin is profiteering and an ever more greedy liar. Real hardworking Americans and tea party patriots really want nothing to do with her money and celebrity seeking antics. If she worked half as hard as a Midwestern woman then maybe she would have a real grasp of real American life. But she is like every other republican making back room deals and selling our childrens lives to oil companies. Sarah exploits her children for political gain and joins a cable ratings seeking entertainment channel that is owned by a foreigner!
Ms. Shiver, you are clearly an idiot of the worst kind, and your viewpoints represent the type of ignorance and selfishness that is corrupting America. Climate change, global warming….these are not partisan issues to be debated and used for political or economic gain. They are scientific truths, open your eyes and look at the facts. Al Gore is knows this, and is ultimately trying to educate the people to do something positive and good to make the world a better place.
The comments on this site sound like the are comming from an insane aslyum
Al Gore's only problem is that insists on telling the truth. Perhaps he developed this unfortunate habit during his days in the semenary. Truth is not the language of the United States of Corporations.
Vitriolic language such as seen in your comments is quite acceptable in the Good old USC.
I am a 75 year old "girlly man" who has been married to the same woman for over 50 years. I take your vile very seriously. My grandchildren will have to live in the dying world that you are trying to give them.
I would like to kick the asses of every one of you!
It would have been a legitimate article without the name calling and the picture of one of the dumbest people on the planet (Sarah Palin) a the end of the article.
Regardless of what you think of Gore, the fact that you'd even consider the incredibly uninformed Sarah Palin as the next president is scary. The woman is completely self-serving, self-righteous and ignorant: ask any Alaskan.
Clueless George Bush and Tricky Dick Cheney – speaking of a VP making obscene profits on the back of working people! – put our country in the proverbial toilet; Sarah would certainly be the one to finish the job and flush us all away.
Oh yes Run Sarah Run… but remember to face east coz facing west you would land in Siberia and then its just Reindeer stew all the way….
I encourage the original writer of the article and many of the respondents to ask yourself if you can be certain that your statements are true.
As a scientist, a "food scientist", you are an abject liar. You haven't looked at the data, you've read a couple of articles on right wing blogs and let your own sense of self-satisfaction for having a degree in an imaginary discipline convince you that you know what you're talking about.
The evidence for anthropogenic climate change is vast, and is coming from literally hundreds of independent research institutions who have no stake in the answer either way. The recent outing of a few bad apples is not a reflection on the science as a whole, which is rock solid, although those who have an axe to grind love to overinterpret it. Y'all keep telling yourselves that you're just being "skeptical", but true scientific skepticism goes with the weight of the evidence and the evidence in this case is VASTLY in the direction of indicating that anthropogenic climate change is real.
And yet, America overwhelmingly voted against the policies and lies of the Right. So much for Majority rule huh.
Your an idiot. remember one snow storm proves nothing. Stop watching fox stop being so gullible.
Hay lady, maybe you could oh i don't know get some PROOF for what your saying in stead of being a bitch.And as you insult Gore and others remember that your tits will still succumb to the pull of gravity no matter how many times Fox news says there in no gravity.
Wow. This whole article is completely delusional. Please turn in YOUR sanity card.
See ya later. Going Mastadon bone hunting now that the Arctic ice is gone.
By the way, pay Google enough, they'll get your link on the front of Google News.
My goodness, are you a journalist – I mean a trained one, with an actual education?
pittsburgh is with a gh on the end Einstein
All of you people are homosexual pedophiles.
i accidently stumbled on this on Google news. this writer probably doesnt even remember what dignity looks like. very sad.
Neo-cons annoy me.
You tools are spouting non-sense and the closest you've come to understanding science was getting a "C" in Jr. High.
You can say something over and over but that does not make it true. These are the same nut jobs that want creationism taught as a valid scientific model.
Here is the "magic" of science: peer review. Only someone not versed in math, the language of science, can distort the facts to suit their needs.
Here are the facts: the climate is change. Here is the conjecture: that change is either created by man's impact on the planet OR it is normal and cyclical.
Here is another fact: for economic stability and long term security the U.S. needs to be energy independent.
Another fact: the U.S. does not have the reserves to continue using oil as it's primary energy source.
Here's where you nut jobs will come into play. I've stated several FACTS. Now all the neo-cons with their Jr. College AA degrees will start spouting how I am saying the U.S. is responsible for climate change.
Get your head out of those dark orifces of yours and look at FACTS, not conjecture, not what you are spoon fed by lobbyist, special interest groups and people with an agenda. FACTS.
I'm even gonna summarize for you myopic dimwits.
Fact 1) the climate IS changing
Fact 2) the U.S. needs to get off of Middle Eastern oil.
Are the two related? Maybe, maybe not.
Spend less time watching American Idol and eating fast food. Spend more time reading and understanding complex issues and how they related.
Hmmm….its determined by electoral college…deal with it!
I have never believed in global warming. Gore and his scientific facts have been proven false, with a teardrops of truth scattered in all the oceans in the world, have been outed. He will, undoubtedly, continue this rant to make the last few bucks he can and save his tainted image. If we had climate scientists millions, or billions, or even 2,000 years ago, I think we would see a definite course of climate change. The earth has been around for a very long time. You cannot tell me that all this is man-made. Has anyone though that weird and unusual weather changes could possibly be naturally cyclical event? We know that stars cool down and even die, which has a direct on solar systems. It is extremely possible that through the billions of revolutions of the sun, the tilt of the earth, could possibly cause these changes. Climate change. Who knows, in future years we may be warming or cooling so much that everything as we know it, will disappear. The REAL truth is that we just don't know the future of our world, because we don't have enough factual, long-term information to make a realistic decision. Give it a break. This change in climate may be it's worse now. It may go downhill from here or perhaps we will live to see the pendulum swing in another direction. Al, it's time for you to reenter earth's atmosphere (tee-hee) and come back down to earth. Your money-making venture is nearing it's end. Perhaps you should do what my immigrant grandfather said, "Sit down and shut up!" What a smart man he was. Only wish he was still around to tell Gore this same thing face-to-face.
What's really ugly/stupid is this screed against Al Gore. What's wrong with cleaner air and water? What's wrong with food not laced with hormones? Why shouldn't the government step in to protect the general health and welfare of its populace against big business that doesn't care if chemicals in the water make women grow beards? Green = a better earth. Shiver, go educate yourself, or at least go away!
Clearly the only reason you wrote this article was to get the type of responses you've gotten. There's nothing wrong with that, it happens all the time. It would just be nice if You actually had something more than histrionics with which to back it up.
"The American people really, really, really hate being lied to."
Not true. As I clearly recall, they really, really loved going to war in Iraq.
The validity of Global Warming has nothing to do with anyone's personal views on Al Gore. The science behind anthropogenic global warming has been around for over 100 years–long before Al Gore was even born. It is not some new fad or liberal conspiracy. It is an unrelenting, inexorable scientific fact. It won't just go away because you refuse to accept it or because it does not fit in neatly with your conservative views of how the world should work. Nature doesn't care what we think. It follows scientific natural law, completely independent of any political group or any denialist rantings. Wake up.
Allpartisans says: "Do you get that? First of all, he truly believes that we, as humans, have to “redeem” ourselves for using carbon-based fuels, as he sees it as “sin” against the earth. As such, this is proof positive that AGW activists like Gore see this as a religion."
Dude, that is not a "religion," it is rhetoric. Learn the definition of the big words you try to use.
Dude, that is not a "religion," it is rhetoric. Learn the definition of the big words you try to use.
I can't wait for Palin to run. A train wreck in slow motion is always a good show.
Obviously the author and many commenters think rhetoric can substitute for evidence. With that kind of mindset it is convenient to forget or ignore that the science behind climate change is the same kind of science that fathered DNA technology, high-yield crops, space exploration, antibiotics, nuclear power… and practically every other modern innovation that can claim to have benefited the human condition. Science will carry the day soon enough. Probably (and regretfully) we'll need not more than a decade or two to look back on this stuff not as harmless hackery, but as more of a crime against humanity.
Now, I hate Al Gore as much as the next man. He's obviously delusional.
But you're "article" is just as rediculous. Did you really think insinuating a comparision to Nazi's makes a bit of sense? Of course, it looks like you are just catering to your audience, a bunch of partisan idiots.
If this sort of rubbish is Journalism then I weep for society.
ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE INSANE!!!!!!! I would love to see this planet go down the crapper with all of you idiots on it — the only problem is YOU'RE TAKING US WITH YOU!!!!
Stuff your fat faces with Twinkies and SHUT THE F*#K UP!
I'm only 18 years old and I can see that Al Gore is a two faced fraud. He is out to hurt our younger generation and that is just horrible. He needs to keep his big fat bearded mouth shut… Hear that Al!!!!!!!! Katy….
Whenever this "debate" comes up, I turn to the old question:
Who has more money to lose?
Truly, you cannot be implying that global warming was a profit-based hypothesis. Oil money is so entrenched in this country and the world that one cannot trust the "science" that comes from the side that has SO MUCH to lose.
The worst thing that could happen with energy innovation is that the wealthiest interests who control the Republican message stifle alternative energy – which is exactly what is happening. Short-term profit is the only interest represented by the "drill baby drill" crowd (remember the 2008 economic collapse?).
Just watch as other industrialized countries innovate and improve alternative energy technologies while the far-right and far-left bicker in the USA, once the greatest industrial innovator in the world.
Those who TRULY care about our future will have open ears to those who practice the scientific method, which has no political or ethical leanings. The five hottest years on record in the last decade? That seems enough evidence to open any reasonable person's mind.
Shooting the messenger will not help – the planet doesn't care. We are a mere rash on its surface, the ultimate invasive species, and nature will always prevail. Whether we choose to work with it or not will determine our society's survival.
What a mob mentality here and how scary as well as inarticulate you all are. If any part of using up now what we need for future generations proves to be true, you will have beaten up Al Gore but you will not have done anything for your kids or their kids. That should make you all as proud as you must be here – asking that Al can come over so you can "fart on him"… Righteous contributions to our civilization for sure.
All I see is *Name calling*…wonder who that could be now?? Could they be *For* Gore or *Against*? Observation is a GREAT thing! (Sits back to watch all the Conservatism bashing)
What a bunch of ignert crackers! Ho ho ho ho!
Sarah Palin for President? GREAT IDEA! Do it! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
What a smarmy condenscending article. So does that make you the "manny woman." Do you have lots of hair on your back? How stupid and unconscious. Today, scientists are reporting an acceleration of the release of methane from the millions and millions of tons of permafrost and are very very concerned that climate change is accelerating faster than any previous equations predicted. When the seas start rising and global catastrophe begins to manifest, intellectually challenged shame based people like Kyle-Ann Shiver will be the first ones to throw girly fits. When war breaks out because water has become scarce, the intellectually challenged who cannot comprehend the data will wish they were better prepared to meet their maker. Then you will be held fully accountable for the misinformation that your irresponsibly spread.
There was a joke around that had a punch line that went as stupid as betting on the weather.
Where are the enforcement agencies? SEC (Securities & Exchange Cmmission), CFTC (commodities Futures Trading Commission), FBI, and every state securities department in investing this crook for fraud? Does the name Bernie Madoff mean anything? FRAUD! CONVICTED! Sentenced to 50 years in jail.
continued
Al Gore etal, anyone else promoting this fraud for personal gain and that doesn't just mean for money, needs to be charged with fraud. In case anybody is interested,
Kathleen Sebelius (now in the Obama administration), former governor of Kansas (key word being former), pulled the same thing here in Kansas, illegally stopping billions of dollars worth of productive investments with the help of co-conspiritors, with no legal basis. This has damaged every citizen in the State Of Kansas. All for her personal gain, she thought. The Kansas Attorney General did nothing (he in fact helped), I should say former attorney general (again, key word being former) nor did the Kansas legislature do anything.
Clear the courtrooms and jails. You involved can have your day in court and get to prove your case and then get fined (take all their assets) and be sentenced along with Bernie.
Wasn't it a country ruled by law rather than a country ruled by men? Or, should I say ruled by cowardly, lying crimminals. How's it working for us, the citizens, the owners.
DRSANGLE
Criticize Gore and global warming all you want. I think it is naive to think people can't impact the planet. I have come to a lot of conclusions when relating with the 'does it happen in nature?'. We are so dependent of foreign oil and for me the answer is not drill more. That attitude is a view of entitlement. We should burn all this because we can. I ask people to look at their own science. Do you like the flavor of smog? the view of a nuke? dingy streams?
Here's a question. What could convince you that the earth really is gradually warming to the point that the climate could spin out of balance and destroy the environment that sustains us? I'm guessing that you'll say you won't believe it until someone you trust (Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, etc.) says it. If you don't trust the public discourse of science, you lock yourselves into a world in which you trust only hearsay. You say that Al Gore is merely in it for the money. Couldn't you say the same thing about Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh?
I love it….remember, what goes around comes around Big Al….I hope all those hollywood fakes that kissed his a$$
go down the drain with him…
Attention all Republicans… get out of your hut, stop thinking with your vagina and pmsing, and get a college degree.. All Democrats you f*ck ups stop f*cking up… Both of you morons need to work together your ideas both SUCK! ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IS THE KEY TO SAVING OUR BUDGET ! DO YOU IDIOTS SEE? IF YOU INVEST ANY MONEY INTO ANYTHING PEOPLE WILL GET RICH SO STOP YOUR B!TCHING!! PEOPLE ARE GETTING RICH WHEN YOU WIPE YOUR A$$ MIGHT AS WELL AGREE WITH SOLAR ENERGY IN ORDER TO SAVE IT! (it meaning your a$$)
The fact this jerk and his minions had to create a crisis in order to get us to follow him to the cliff, and the fact that Bro' Bama is also trying to create a healthcare crisis is enough to make me get way past steamed about all this BS. All of this is straight from the 60's BS we all had to watch back then, and I still am trying to understand why in the world anyone would want to follow these clowns anywhere. Let me tell you something, we now have WAY larger issues to contend with than this crap. They all need a serious asskicking.
Al Gore is right-he bascially always has been right-you can quibble about the degree to which he is right, but do deny man-made global warming is to be a Green Day style "American Idiot"-and that's the name of that tune ! The fool deniers are now playing up / bitching about Al's warning of "catastrophic warming'". I don't give "the south end of a north facing rat " if it will be "catastrophic" or not- warming is happening and it's NOT good news-and it needs to be attacked-and HARD. I've had it up to here and back with American Idiots-including the total dolts that deny evolution. How many people in other so-called advanced industrial countries are such fools on these issues ?- NOT many for damn sure. Yep: to quote Stroher Martin in "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid": "Morons! I've got MORONS on my team !" : "Only in America"- truly PATHETIC.
Jay, There was PLENTY of outcry from the masses over Iraq. There has not been a single protest over Gorebull Warming to my knowlege. Bush was so 5 minutes ago, get over it.
There is nothing more obscene,pathetic,frightening, sad than seeing someone who knows little to nothing about science tell the scientific community "You're wrong because Fox news told me you're wrong."
The ultrarich who run and use Fox (including Gov Palin) know global warming is a reality and that millions will suffer because of it. They know how to use YOU and YOUR children to vote to perpetuate THEIR wealth. They think they have enough money to protect their families when the environmental S–T hits the fan. Unless you do too, and unless you could care less about human suffering, you might try trusting people who have spent a lifetime learning for your sake-the scientists who probably make less than you, the scientists who earn the tiniest fraction of what the bloated Fox Puppeteers make.
I liked Al better when he was VP and invisible!!
I wonder if he is still flying around in his huge carbon foot print airplane!!! Or still driving his big black SUV while he tells us we need to stop the global warming?? I wonder where he got his degree on earth from!! What we can tell our children is that Obama put us deep in debt & Al Gore tried hosing us out of your inheritance!!
Even if Al is a hippocrite, Relggneh, does that make thousands of scientists wrong?
And if you're going to insist that the PRO-PLANET Awareness movement restrict it's carbon footprint, shouldn't you ask the same of the ANTI-Planet movement's leaders like Rush and Sarah?

Wow. Here I was looking around on the internet for intelligent conversation, and I accidentally stumbled in here. I will take my reason, logic, and critical thinking skills and keep moving on.
Carry on…God, Guns, and Guts….
Great…another Nobel Appeasment Prize Winner down the tubes…cant wait for the latest loser who won the prize to get his dose of reality. Mr bend over crotch watcher…Obama the Great Appeaser…one dumb ass clown after another…
When will it freaking end ????
Once more the same gang that said the Titanic would not sink are saying that there is no global warming. Wake up ideologues and face facts! We have a screwed up enviroment and it's getting worse every day. The same fools that post here denying the obvious will be running for cover when it all hits fan and it's too late to change our enviromental plans.
So I guess it means that all you fools can allow yourselves the luxury to go along your merry, petty and blind little way to do as you want, not to worry your little heads about the environmental destruction that continues unabated. Keep shitting where you live, you can always move somewhere else………
Good to see that someone is going for the Ann Coulter segment of the population. Shrill name-calling, non-listening, morons need a new leader. Al Gore is no prize, but your editorial seems like something I read in 5th grade. Seems like all the frustrated conservative, closet cases, like that hypocrite Ashburn, use attacking someones sexuality as their trump card. How juvenile. Are you straight?
Scream out mind-numbing crap long enough and someone will give YOU a book deal.
I've never hear any of you close-minded conservatives ask for additional study or data or evidence on any subject matter, let alone one so colossal for your tiny minds to grasp. Just keep plowing through with what you think you know. That crazy scientific study and data can be very dangerous. Watch out for your kids. Home school them.
Good luck (Loser.)
Turn on the blue light, this GW fellow wants a blue suit.
Wikipedia is no more relaible than the recently exposed global warming scientists. Recheck the article I just changed it to say global warming is a scam.
What a pack of vultures you are! Have YOU done anything good for humanity yet, or do you just wait around hoping for roadkill or bandwagon upon which to jump?
hmmmmm would have won that too if the supremes hadn't stepped in. All the rightwingnut ranting on this rag is priceless. You conspiracy jack wads aren't fit to wipe Al's backside. Unfortunately most of us will be dead before our grandkids are crowded on the small bits of dry land left.
Please! Such disrespect for the Great Man who, after all, invented the Internet. After that, how can we not believe him? Or is he a colossal fraud?
Yeah…your so full of shit! You have no idea what is going to destroy you! Gaia will perish because of your sins!
Come on down to LA some summer and help yourself to a forkful of air. We are already paying for water, how long before
it's oxygen? There are smarter, cleaner ways out there. Regardless of why, we should be moving forward to cleaner more sustainable and economic energy. Why? Becuase we can. (look up Thorium, or research Tesla a bit.) We could also end divisive vitriol filled commentaries and come together as a people to actually further the american dream. But we'd have to give up our righteous indignation to do that…
Hello all,
I came to this page from someone else's facebook link–someone who, evidently, I agree very little with politically. I am a liberal/progressive/whatever you want to call it, and to be honest, most of what is being said on this board is so crazy it is blowing my mind. You really just don't make any sense to me. And that kind of bothers me.
So my question to you is, who are you? It's far too easy for me to dismiss this kind of talk as that of tinfoil-hat-wearing crazies, but I know that's not actually the case. Would you help me to understand which of my fellow citizens take an article like this seriously? If so, just reply listing your age, region of the country, occupation, education level, etc (really only what you feel comfortable sharing).
I'll start: I'm 31, have been lower-middle class my whole life, grew up in the north east but now live in the south west, am well educated (currently pursuing a PhD in the humanities at a public university, therefore currently a student), white, christian.
You had me until Palin. I'm ready to acknowledge that the global warming crowd has overstated the crisis but if Sarah and 'Drill Baby Drill' are the answer, then tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies …
Anything is better the Sarah and the former regime …
what a bunch of idiots post here. sad, sad sad.
"painful-to-watch demise"
"ultra-feminine side"
"histrionics"
"stuff meant to sound reasonable"
In the words of the great Mandy Patinkin, "I don't think these words mean what you think they mean"
Obviously you weren't awake during the Bush years and how they destroyed our economy, major portions of our environment, and lied to us all about the "trickle down" that didn't. The arctic is melting and you fools spout stupidity.
Another far Right rag exposed. lol. Have you people no shame?
After reading the comments I realized I would have to alter my academic debate to vernacular calumny. Those who criticize the rich usually don't have any wealth of their own. It seems that those who criticize science can't spell it. These are a few of the institutions around the world that offer major classes and research in climate change as well as degrees that will prepare new scientists, engineers, and technicians to deal with a world during and after climate change. Do you trust pundits with GEDs, or attendance based BA degrees in communication or political science; or perhaps place more trust thousands of researchers and millions of data points pointing to unprecedented change in our global climate. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, OXFORD, CAMBRIDGE, HARVARD, TONGJI UNIVERSITY, U.C. BERKLEY, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, RUTGERS, MAX PLANCK INST., UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, CIA, NOAA, EPA, UNITED NATIONS, etc., etc., etc.
While I don't agree in the slightest in your blind obedience to your demigods, I do understand how it happens. Joseph Goebbells was quite successful at propaganda distortions and robust prevarications. Check out the milgram experiment. It explains blind obedience to authority, even when it goes against personal morals, ethics, and rational behavior. http://www.flixya.com/video/1622714/The_Stanley_M...
But then I'm just a scientist and law enforcement guy who's work was and is scrutinized by educated and professionals who can add without looking at their fingers. Have a nice day and bite open another beer.
Respectfully yours,

What a bunch of ignert crackers! Ho ho ho ho!
It is amazing that our country has gone so backwards that we ignore science. It is easier to attack the messenger than face the facts. Global warming is damn obvious and has been proven beyond doubt to be caused by man. It has accelerated in an alarmingy way and to attack people like Al Gore who try to educate people is nothing more than lame.
Cause blowing 100 grand just to know Zorg is a f@gg0t and scientology is a piece of shit is better… you republicans are all hicks with no education. We can strive to become energy independent and save our budget you flaming morons.
Well said, Uncle Elmer and Qwondre
*love it
Why am I not surprised to see a picture of Sara Palin at the bottom of the article, if you want to call it an article. No objectivity at all, just a bunch of leftist dribble against Al Gore. It is very funny to hear Chicken Little scream, "The Sky is falling!" It is scary to hear him screaming that same sentence, while it IS falling, and you idiots are staring at the ground.
Uh, hello? American people LOVE being lied to ….just not "llies" or distortions that force them to rethink their comfortable lifestyles (perhaps Al Gore is, in a sense, the perfect American)…in any case going out and saying that we can sort of keep living in our usual way because it might not cause global warming etc would only cause people to yawn so it is obvious that to get change you have to paint a dramatic and bleaker picture, knowing that politics will only allow for incremental changes in any case. If Americans hated being lied to, they wouldn't adore Ronald Reagan and (dare I say) Sarah Palin?
Kyle-Anne Shiver has never talked to a real climate scientist, or maybe she thinks she has. She is clueless as the group of thirteen year-olds she describes. And it appears, any yahoo with a degree in science, or remotely associated with someone who does, think they understand climate change.
I am not sure who the bigger idiots are. The writer or the people agreeing with her.
GLOBAL WARMING has become CLIMATE CHANGE, has become UNUSUAL WEATHER, has become what happens with the change of the seasons. The climate changes every year I do believe and has been for quite some time now.
Whew. Landed on a flat earther blog. Climate change deniers fed vitriol by a woman who sees feminine attributes as insults. Keep on preaching to your choir… willful ignorance and insulting those with whom you disagree sells to this crowd. Facts only confuse them. Geesh.
If Al Gore had been President (he did have the majority vote) we would NOT have been facing many of the problems we are now. Think about it.
When can Al Gore go crawl under a rock and devolve?
He needs to find something better to do with his free time, IMO.
If Gore is wrong and fraudulant about global warming How come the polar bear has trouble finding sea ice upon which to rest while hunting seals? Ignore Gore if you like but please heed the plight of the polar bear – the artic ice
cap is not melting – it has already melted.
My god you people are all morons. Drill, baby, drill = Worst…plan…ever.
Al Gore is right and Ms. Shiver is just another phony Glenn Beck wanna-be trying to cash in on peoples fears. People who have the motivatation to do a little digging themselves and investigate the facts will realize this article is just complete and utter rubbish.
Kyle-Ann Shiver writes with the shrill authority of someone who thinks she knows. A good editor can help her reach more readers without bombastics.
This article by Ms Shirver reads as if was written by a thirteen year old Limbaugh fan. I am not defending Gore. Ms Shirver thinking ability is not worth the next read.
this article is a joke and you are all jokes for A) buying into this lady's crap and B) supporting a neuron-starved dimwit like Sarah Palin, its painfully clear by the hysterical forced look on her face that she has not a clue of what is really going on
Apparently, I have stumbled onto the website frequented by the tea party. This is group is full of hateful, ignorant individuals who are unable to expanded the reaches of their mind. They have the same general thought patterns as those who believed the word was flat, that earth was the center of the universe, and that God has anything to do with the good and bad things that happen to people. You all probably worship people like Rush Dimbaugh or I am sorry Limbaugh, former President George Bush Jr., Sarah Palin, and the like. These people don't have two brain cells to rub together, I am surprised they have the intelligence to wipe their own ass! And, do you people listen (not to Rush, we already covered that), many experts have come out to say that their is NOT and I repeat NOT sufficient oil, etc. to meet the needs of this country. Quit being such DAMN idiots; its exacerbating.
Do you all work for Exxon?
Why does Kyle-Ann hate America? Why does Kyle-Ann hate the world?
Honestly, learn how to write. Any credibility you may have had was lost in the synonyms. It's so obvious you pander to the unthinking and uninformed. Why don't you just start a false email string? Those seem to work surprisingly well.
Somehow this diatribe made it as a real news item on Google news. I don't usually wind up on sites like this. You people are scary as h… How many more of you are crawling around in the wood work?
You're funny, lady. But that's about all. Al may be an ass, but your grandchildren (if you or your children are not already sterile) are going to condemn your generation for raping the planet. By the way, there are no real women left in America – including yourself and Sarah Palin. That's why so many of us American men who reached our goal of retiring by 40 choose to live outside the US. European women don't have hair on their chest and penises. I don't know how I stumbled on to this garbage website, but I won't waste time by stopping back.
People! Weather is not climate! <sigh> Your ignorance is just painful. You'd rather mock than objectively investigate. "Boy, look at all this snow – how's that global warming for ya!" Like saying the earth must be flat, 'cause where you're standing it sure doesn't look round! Grow up, start at least trying to use those brain cells. Don't waste what God gave ya!
I working in Alaska for 20 years and have seen the vast changes. Clearly not many of the above mail sources would pass a pee test whats more understand gravity. There are more gay people in the US than there are people who do not believe in global warming. Facts are facts. Trying to find an new conservative messiah to take us back to 1955 might be comforting at night after bagging groceries for the Chinese,but if we don’t get going on this problem soon, we all will be.
Well, well, well … can't take the heat. Wouldn't publish a fair criticism. Can dish it out but not take the heat. Tsk Tsk Tsk …
Call it climate change, pollution or over population, it does not matter. Mankind must become responsible stewards of our planet. Only selfish or ignorant belief systems can deny this. And for those that say technology will save use…bullshit! It is technology and heartless capitalism that put us here. Mankind taking responsible care of our home planet will require technology and modified values.
Wow. With science *and* reality proving Al correct every day, it's clear you people are only ideologically bent and have no understanding of science or history. Wow.
this article is the worst piece of journalism I have read. such pettiness and childish writing. I'm only sorry I clicked on this story. the comments by sheep are pathetic.
hard to believe this many poltroons could fit on one page of this article…..
What a bunch of crap you wrote. So much hate is not good for you. This is the type of stuff that is bringing the USA down. No debate just innuendo to feed the hate of the righ-wing lunatics.
"Al fails to mention, too, that if we merely make use of our own technology and oil deposits, then we would have no need of Arab oil." It's obvious who is paying you for this mental "merde"
Great logic. Even teenager can understand that. I have to agree he is a great snake-oil salesman
This post is hilarious. Anyone claiming the science behind global warming is proven EITHER WAY is a complete joke and should stay the hell away from a keyboard. Attacking Al Gore's "manliness" only does one thing, destroy your credibility, that is if you ever had a shred. You take his stance so personal your blind rage is evident in every word, you'd say anything, ANYTHING, to make your point even if it's totally false or most importantly unproven. The real criminals here are people like you creating a sensationalist politicized matter out of this for your own gain. Keep politics out of science. Let people believe what they want and invest their money accordingly. There is no conspiracy here, you simply are making it one to suit your needs. Get over yourself.
HI Folks,
I am a pick up driving, big dog owning hard working burger eatn electrician so don’t confuse me with some crazed field hippie.. HOWEVER as an electrician (the smarter construction workers just ask the plumbers hee hee hee) I want to let folks know WATT I see.
1) We got bout 43 years of oil left
2) We do got 400 years of coal left
3) We have burned thru close to ½ of all we had so far on the earth.
Now the idea of trying to do better to save WATT we got left does not sound like some kinda conspiracy to me, global warming or not! Just like I see with common folks, they got a plug in the wall and think as many cube tapes as they can fit in that plug is as much power they SHOULD be able to get out of it cus. Why? The cube taps keep fitting into it, thats why! I don’t see anyone hear addressing the common sense that there is only so much here and it IS going to run out and we may just need to change up the way we live to make it all last a bit longer.. why is being conservative such a threat? Conservative (IE one who saves , one who conserves). Now common sense tells me that if the world was way hotter when the big ones roamed and it was because of all the CO (OK CO2 to be tech) and over millions of years this CO2 was converted into the fossil fuels we have now and that dropped the temp to where we have been, if we have re-released over ½ of this CO2 back into the air we gotta be headn back to a lot warmer climate that is caused by WATT we are doing. What no one want to talk any responsibility for our actions, GEEEUSSS what I hear is here sound so much like my last drunk GF who just could not fess up to her crazy party ways..(oh yeah until that BIG O crash and burn she went thru and lost it all). I mean really folks sober up. When does this reality bite hit we already HAVE lost 40% of the Artic sea ice, when its all gone, is that gonna be a lie Al Gore told you too? Al Gore may be wrong but I do not believe he is doing this as hype, I think there are real concerns about how we live and I also believe we all can learn to do with less and if that means I gotta drive a smaller truck I can handle that, cuz when I get out of my small truck I am still a big mean ass sparky and I don’t need some big truck to make me feel like a man. So say the global warming IS real but not by man, just a natural cycle as it where. Does that not mean then AS men we should try to do everything we can do to compensate what nature is doing and if that means living a bit smaller is not that better in gods eyes anyway? And don’t give me the nuke crap… we got a real perfect nuke power source, no pollution, no waste, its called… the sun! And we have the tech now to harvest this now (remember I am an electrician I do this stuff) if we put the trillion we invest into defending oil we could NOT NEED OIL and let the rest of the world fight over that while we are running smooth. I hope Gore is wrong too, dead wrong but hearing how folks are calling him a girlyman makes me wonder is he? Our are these folks really just chicken and can’t face there own fear of change and are the real girly men. I don’t have a dog in that fight of who is right or wrong but I do know fossil fuels will end soon and if we really faced this and changed now we’re gonna keep America # 1 instead of falling behind which is exactly WATT we are doing now by having our heads up our…….
Sparky Rules!
I suppose you all believe the Earth is still flat too and we didn't really land on the moon? Face it, the science is there, whether you are left or right. Be skeptical of what you hear on either side (the real trick is to see who's got the MO to make money – anything sponsored or supported by oil companies is likely not the truth.) I doubt Al Gore has as much financial stake here as others. Don't listen to neo-con BS or far left BS – listen to the scientists who are trying to make the most accurate calculations and predictions they can. Scientists don't have any motive to mislead. And anyone that says the scientists are looking to get grant money for their schools are full of shit – there is always research monies from various sources and they don't profit from it personally.
Keep repeating the lie that Bush lied if it makes you feel good. But don't for a minute think that, as an all purpose retort, it is helpful in making your point.
I know that the facts are like Kryptonite to you right wing whackos. If you had bothered to actually see Gore's movie (and not rely on talking heads to pre-digest the ugly truth for you) it would be clear that it IS all about climate change. The glaciers are melting and also the storms are getting stronger. Everytime there is a snow storm Fix News has their pretty blondes take a anti-Gore jab, like anything he has said implied there would never be another snow storm. Real scientists are overwhelmingly onboard with the Climate Change debacle. I know righty's like to hide their selfish view of the world as 'responsible', but in this case the sky really is falling.
WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS . THE AUTHOR IS A PATHETIC WORTHLESS PARTISAN HACK USING VERY SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES FOR CHEAP POLITCAL ATTACKS ON FORMER DEMOCRAT VP.
EXPLAIN THE RECENT BREAKING OFF OF AN ICE-SHEET THE SIZE OF MASSACHUSETTS (OR WAS IT TWO ICE-MASSES ( THATS BIGGER THAN AN ICEBERG))!
If you're going to use the "follow the money" angle, follow the BIGGEST money. People don't become climate scientists to get fossil-fuel wealthy. Everyone needs to earn a living, so you can't just go around saying all income sources that cramp your ideology are part of some conspiracy.
I stumbled on to this web site. Read some of Ms Shiver's views. Had to exit quickly to avoid vomiting. When I see nonsense like the content that is collected on the site I get depressed at the collective dumbing down that is occurring across the nation, with the likes of Sarah Palin as their leader. Oops, gotta run and get the barf bucket again.
Maybe you have to be around for a while to learn that whenever a decision is based on “you must act now before it is too late”, you are either talking to a salesman or a thief, and normally it’s both. The presentation is always based on don’t question us, there isn’t enough time, just do as we say. Global warming salesman sell it the same way and they have a very long list of supporters, each of which wants your donations, or government grant money, or more government control, or more tax revenue or even complete geopolitical restructuring. Yes, we should all be very, very afraid, of these salesmen, their tactics and especially their real motives.
As on most partisan sites, the above article by Ms. Shiver relies on unfounded rancor and animosity rather than a debate on the strength of the ideas behind policy. If this kind of commentary is what most voters rely on for the information that directs their votes, we are all in a far greater deal of trouble than global warming might bring.
ER….What?
Er…Huh?
the level of apoplexy on this post makes it clear that this columnist is preaching to the choir. keep in mind that this is not a one-man conspiracy, there are many, many people besides Gore who believe in global warming (the head of the US Forest Service firefighters, for example) who don't have anything to gain. What does the future have in store for you if you don't believe in warming and you are wrong? Maybe you don't care about extinction of polar bears. Do you like to eat salmon caught in the Pacific – all gone too. How about Holland? ever have great Dutch cheese? unless you want to get some water-wings for their cows, that will be gone too, because the country will be inundated. If we cut our greenhouse emissions and there was truly no problem, what will be the result? Hmm – we will have a sustainable energy future. We will use nuclear power much more. We will have a breakthrough in fusion energy. We will be more independent of foreign energy sources, because we will generate our own solar power from the shingles on our houses. How is this bad?
Al Gore supporting this does not make it wrong. The minds of humans who will not believe facts that are presented and vetted through well-established and highly reputable institutions, without an axe to grind, amaze me. Especially when those same minds believe in Santa, and that there are 100 black-eyed virgins waiting for their dead carcass in paradise. Oh, well, there was that OJ trial. I withdraw my amazement.
I agree with you.
May I point out an error in your posting? Polar bears can, and DO drown, particularly when the distance between ice floes is increased as has more and more often been the case in the past number of years. Please see the USGS publication referenced below:
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/special/polar_bears/...
As the Larry Tate character on the popular TV show "Bewitched" used to say, "Do not confuse the issue with facts."
Of course, fossil fuel CEOs and tar sands workers making $100k driving dump trucks have zero profit motive and zero reason for denying the downsides of their gravy train. Let's only talk about Al Gore this, Al Gore that. Good conservatives are all about putting down knowledge and maintaining the old ways.
Small-minded money-obsessives insist on translating their OWN petty motives onto others. They can't understand that most scientists are just interested in learning how the world works, and fixing the negative side-effects of modern life that idiot Creationists refuse to acknowledge.
THE recent burial in snow of washington, d.c. was likely caused by: HOTTER ATMOSPHERE > MORE EVAPORATION FROM OCEANS> MORE PRECIPITATION. Hey Glenbeckistan inhabitants, a temp of 31 degrees is all needed for snowfall. Proves nothing about a colder winter, you idiots.
Maybe you have to be around for a while to learn that whenever a decision is based on you must act now before it is too late, you are either talking to a salesman or a thief, and normally its both. The presentation is always based on dont question us, there isnt enough time, just do as we say.

Al Gores mindset is the same as any BIG GOVERNMENT ideologue, and that is the government is the answer to all problems. BIG GOVERNMENT will CREATE a CRISIS to manipulate the masses. I am not against those that do not adhere to global warming though I know it is real. But without the naysayers the GOVERNMENT and those like GORE that want to control and be master over others will use ANY CRISIS. including HEALTH CARE or FINANCIAL CRISIS to get what they envision as what the future should be for us all.
It is not that global warming is not real. The truth is that beaches are being eroded here in Florida and around the world and glaciers and large masses of ice are melting. However, going around and yelling the sky is falling to make money from creating FEAR is WRONG.
We had lead in paint and gas. We solved that problem. We had freon depleting ozone and we solved that problem, but nobody went around making hundreds of millions of dollars from making people panic.
We cannot treat the sky like an open sewer by dumping everything into it and expect it to handle it all. We process human waste, human trash, radioactive waste and many other types of contaminants. We can solve emissions problems as well. It is time to start doing so.
Global warming does take decades to become a disaster but we can slow its arrival and with time even stop the increase of warming. We doubtfully will ever stop it completely but we can learn to manage the effects and even use the fact that ice lanes in the Arctic Region can be useful.
Global warming is occurring. Brazil is having record heat. Localized weather is becoming more powerful and that is because of global increases in warm weather altering weather patterns. HOWEVER, to be making huge profits and enlarging ones own SELF INTEREST turns people OFF and AWAY from the truth.
God, what an idiot and I am not talking about Gore.
In defense of Miller57:
If you doubt the veracity of the Wikipedia article, here is ANOTHER USGS publication that comes to much the same conclusion..
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/special/polar_bears/...
Ice floes ARE shrinking & polar bears DO drown. Regardless of your feeling for VP Gore or his lifestyle, his message, which must be considered without regard to his person, is valid and should be of real concern to any person with the God-given ability to use reason absent malice.
What a bunch of hucks, throwing slimeballs at Gore. Go ahead drinking, smoking, and driving your big tank-like vehicles to hell if you want. Ignorance is not bliss, its just ignorance.
With the ad hominem attacks and casting aspersions about his masculinity, Kyle-Anne seems to be going for the top b*tch spot Ann Coulter basks in. No dealing in substance, just miscast the other side's arguments and insult them.
Ok, Gore, like most congressional members from BOTH parties, is a millionaire. What's new?
But you can bet on this: The big businesses who run the climate change misinformation campaign – if there's any doubt, then it can't be right; if it's snowing in DC, the planet can't be warming – have vastly more money at stake in the debate than Gore does, or the scientists whose salaries are a tiny fraction of top or even middle-management of industries fouling the planet.
Follow the money: Most climate-change denial books are written by non-scientists, many left over from the tobacco wars, where they successfully clouded the truth about cigarettes for years, and the rest follow the model from that misinformation campaign: Sow seeds of doubt. If science can't explain everything, if it can't prove everything – then maybe it's wrong. Cont'd…
Cont'd:
This has been dubbed 'Scientific Certainty Argumentation Methods', ie SCAMs. They rely on great asymmetry between what denialists ask of science vs what they ask of themselves. Science has to be perfect, any missing pieces or inconsistencies show that it's not perfect, therefore (supposedly) 'it must be wrong'.
Let's level the field. I invite K-A S or anyone here, without making accusations about the other side, to try something: PROVE your OWN point of view, that climate change is NOT happening. Or, if you accept that it is, but 6 billion people on the planet, massive deforestations, and billions of tons of gases put into the atmosphere daily have nothing to do with it, then PROVE to me (and Al and the majority of earth scientists) that there is NO impact from human activity.
Prove it – that's the level of certainty you deviously 'ask' science to provide, so you should be able to meet the same criteria.
Dang, that's a lot harder than just making fun of someone, isn't it? Maybe it's time to grow up and leave the school playground tactics behind.
What I really, really want to know is this – how much has man-mad global warming contributed above the natural, cyclical warming of the earth? This is the question that no seems to answer. Maybe they don't have the answer??
I get a visceral dislike to Al Gore, like some people got with Richard Nixon. Why can't Al just shut the hell up!
Fraud,
Just because you spread a lie and repeat among the choir does not make it true.
I bet Shiver does not believe in evolution either.
I bet she believes 9/11 is a conspiracy.
She probably believes the south should have been allowed to succeed from the union.
I bet she believes Elvis is still alive.
kirkusent
Thanks for your rational, understated view.
Christ…
Wo_OW, this sounds a lot like the "story" of Noah and the Ark. It's told in a book that so many claim to read and stand by. Heck it is supposedly the convenient foundation of "civilized" society. What's that saying? "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it?"
Once again, one of the "showmen masquerading as political thinkers who package hatred and divisiveness as entertainment" stirs up her mob of right-wing Neanderthals, who bely their vulgar, nasty nature and remind us of how recent it was that humans emerged from the primeval slime. Big-hair Shiver, like her ironingboard-hair colleague and fellow cat Coulter, can do nothing to refute Gore's arguments on the merits, so she resorts to personal invective, mainly questioning Gore's masculinity. (Ball busting is an age-old debating strategy of females.)
Got news for you, manly-girl Shiver, if your groupies actually read Gore's op-ed they'd find, whether they agree with it or not, a sober, well-reasoned, adult argument. No hissy, no dramatics — at least not at the level of your hilariously hysterical rant and the tiresomely predictable response from your chorus of infantile "nya nya nya nya nya"-chanting dittoheads.
I find it rich that you question Gore's quoting Churchill. You say there's no comparison between Churchill's warning about the Nazis and the current political climate. Actually, Gore's reference to Churchill is, if anything, understated. Today's America in fact chillingly resembles Germany during the rise of the Nazis, with demagogues like you whipping up street mobs (today's blogosphere), made up of individuals who would be comical were they not violent and armed to the teeth. Like Muslim militants. Like the commenters here, who, like their left-wing counterparts, have never had an original thought in their lives. There is not that much difference between you and your followers and Ernst Röhm, Julius Streicher, Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler and their followers — not that much difference between your respective nemeses, the feckless liberals of Weimar Germany and the feckless liberals of today's Washington.
Maybe you're right, maybe it doesn't come down to right or wrong, but just testosterone — the fascists' primary hormone — which you and your poster-girl Sarah Palin seem to have an overabundance of. Of course, Sarah Palin is no more of a statesman than you are a female (despite the big hair, which I suspect is overcompensation). And your motley mob of 9/11 Truthers, Birthers, Tea-baggers, Southerners, conspiracy nuts, gun lovers, commie hunters, college dropouts and the rest of NASCAR America, are no more sentient than the street mobs of 1930s Germany. And no less dangerous to our republic. Sieg heil, y'all!
I'm sorry, when did global warming or climate change get disproved? Who the hell are you people and what are you smoking? Republican fat cats, which ALL of you seem to be have such pent up anger and vitriol against the man that SHOULD have been president for the last 8 years. He won Florida – that's a fact. Listen to his pre-Iraq invasion speech. He predicted the drawn out insurgency. He never would have sent us there. He would have concentrated on Alqaeda and Bin Laden. He would have legislated energy independence. American would not be on the brink of bankruptcy due to this horrendous, despicable, unnecessary and illegal war. Stop drinking the kool-aid and start thinking for yourself and acting like adults. Oh, and you better pray each night that China doesn't come knocking for their money back.
Is that photo Al Gore or Alec Baldwin?
Kyle-Anne Shiver, the author of this rant is an un-educated opinionated ignorant liar. Climate change is real, unfortunately it doesn't go with the GOP view of business as a never ending, ever growing expansion. Try using real data instead of grasping at anything that you can use to support a pre-conceived notion given to you by Fox news. The title of this rant alone explains your lack of real talent, and instead she relies on trying to make fun of someone rather than report real news. Good luck with that. Only you crazy republicans can stare facts in the face and claim they dont exist
I am sick of people in this county thinking it is thier right to be overfed and overprotected. Things will collapse, and collapse hard if we dont smarten up. "Smarten up" dosnt mean just listen to everything Al Gore and these wanna be celebrities have to say…It means keep an open mind and draw from many sources to form an educated world view.
Al does not need shock therapy,
Just put him on his farm and make him live the way he wants us to, no electricity, just a hand pump for water and a candle for light, and then make him grow all the food he eats with out the use of trackors or any motorized machinery, oh ya, he would be allowed to use horses only if they eat hay that was not machine harvested.
You folks ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I suppose you all would prefer that our kids and grandkids have no clean water and our ecosystems turn on their figurative heads. Sure cycles are natural. Asteroids are natural! Global warming occurs before an ice age, and in the present case especially since warming is raising sea levels which will bring the Atlantic 'conveyor belt' to a halt, and a freeze will result. I may be wrong on details but that or something similar is the gist of it. If this sounds like a good thing, people, y'all are sadly mistaken.

Why am i NOT 'surprised' that some 'adam's apple' wannabe chickensh*t, cickenhawk is 'squawking' away about a Dem, Viet Veteran being a girly man? This Progressive Dem, Viet Vet and all my comrades in arms KNOW who the 'girly men were/are: WHATTA DICK '5 deferments' Cheney leads the pack w/the likes of Druggie LimpBalls, and Glenda Beck with their noses firmly implanted in WHATTA Dick's ass.
my advice to you? Make the leap, go for the operation, 'Kyle' – you might like yourself more as a transgendered DICK!

Never underestimate the stupidity of the right! You idiots are so wrong and so easy to lead! Sarah Palin is your rightful spoke person, leader and American Idol. This smearing,insulting journalist says nothing, knows nothing and is nothing if not a tool of industrial pollution allies. Don't worry about a thing–if we get ourselves in too much trouble good old God will wade in and fix everything like he always does. Keep hating. We're doing great!
Amen brother!
Kyle-Ann Shiver is a very odd figure, to say the least.. She never reveals her religious roots or her true beliefs, but merely mentions matter of factly that she, at some time in her life, 'converted' to Catholicism and now she simply loves Jesus to death, and now her life revolve around insuring that 'we' prevail in 'our' war against 'Islamo-Fascism' and in general terms against liberals and or radicals … I wonder what she thinks about issues like personal credibility and the common sense of the reading public in general. Most probably, squat
You're a myopic idiot. Gore's co-conspiritor and fellow Nobel Laureate is a major investor and like Gore is profiting hansomely from this obvious scam.
This particular sentence you blurted out is particularly laughable and moronic Jim C., you assclown:
"They can't understand that most scientists are just interested in learning how the world works, and fixing the negative side-effects of modern life that idiot Creationists refuse to acknowledge."
in the least.
I support sound science using vetted methods, and honest peer review. These "scientists" are collabotaring to fleece tax payers WORLD WIDE! Dr.'s Jones and Mann have been caught LYING and CHEATING.
Jones is acknowleding his issues and Penn State is reviewing Dr. Mann's methods.
Acknowledge that or you whole screed is tired liberal pap. The IPCC is in trouble and is not only backing up but instituting better methodology.
Face the truth Jim, this fraud has been exposed. There are major problems with the E.U.'s carbon trading system, and California's system is "working" if you want to raise unemployment and chase jobs elsewhere.
I'm not sure who you think you're screeching at but I have a clue and drive by "creationist" shot doesn't phase me
"We have an obligation to our children's children to make unselfish choices today that will ensure their future."
Yes, I agree and it should be pretty obvious that the "unselfish choice" is not to have the children in the first place. Overpopulation is the real problem (the one that no one is talking about). If there weren't so many of us then there wouldn't be so many problems or so much pollution, the oil would last a lot longer and it would be easier to feed everyone. Uncontrolled breeding is not sustainable, that's the real "inconvenient truth" and if humanity doesn't solve this problem, then the planet is going to solve it for us.
Amen brother
Don't let the insults from this obviously deranged lady keep you from understanding the true goal of blogs like this. If you would like to pay 3 or 4 $/gallon of gas… keep supporting her ideas. Behind this attack there is big money: the money the oil companies want to keep stealing from your pocket. Unfortunately for them solar power, electric and hybrid cars, even biodiesel from algae is here to stay and it's going to take more than money to distract and manipulate the consumer. Do you think a person writes something like this because she is deranged? Not… she is being paid to make sure things don't change and alternative energies don't hurt their bick pockets.
Some facts you're obviously ignoring:
"The chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Rajendra Pachauri's Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in New Delhi, was awarded up to £310,000 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the lion's share of a £2.5m EU grant funded by European taxpayers."
Al Gores mindset is the same as any BIG GOVERNMENT ideologue, and that is the government is the answer to all problems. BIG GOVERNMENT will CREATE a CRISIS to manipulate the masses. I am not against those that do not adhere to global warming though I know it is real. But without the naysayers the GOVERNMENT and those like GORE that want to control and be master over others will use ANY CRISIS to get what they envision as what the future should be for us all. It is not that global warming is not real. The truth is that beaches are being eroded here in Florida and around the world and glaciers and massed of ice are melting. However, going around and yelling the sky is falling to make money from creating FEAR is WRONG.
We had lead in paint and gas. We solved that problem. We had freon depleting ozone and we solved that problem, but nobody went around making hundreds of millions of dollars from making people panic.
We cannot treat the sky like an open sewer by dumping everything into it and expect it to handle it all. We process human waste, human trash, radioactive waste and many other types of contaminants. We can solve emissions problems as well. It is time to start doing so. Global warming does take decades to become a disaster but we can slow its arrival and with time even stop the increase of warming. We doubtfully will ever stop it completely but we can learn to manage the effects and even use the fact that ice lanes in the Artic Region can be useful.
Global warming is occurring. Brazil is having record heat. Localized weather is becoming for powerful and that is because of global increases in warm weather altering weather patterns. HOWEVER, to be making huge profits and enlarging ones own SELF INTEREST turns people OFF and AWAY from the truth.
You seem reasonable, but WATT = WHAT?
NPR did a piece about Mr. Gore's electricity bill for his house outside Memphis TN. AVERAGE bill per month is $16,500!!! Please tell us about our "carbon footprint" Mr. Gore.
Wow! I never came across this site before. It's BIG journalism from little minds. Sounds like the writer and most of the commentators came out of a barf bag. Sarah's, perhaps. Listen, Sen. Gore may be right or wrong, but you won't convince anyone to vote your way unless you introduce at least minimal signs of intelligence in what you write. It all makes you sound like pre-WW II Germans. If that's what you want, then you're probably going to have Obama again in 2012!
The Gore editorial ran to three pages (when read in a browser). It was well reasoned and logical. Which likely means that 99% of the illiterate morons who commented in hear were unwilling or unable to read it. One simple comment: the large snowfall in the East is somehow seen as evidence that global warning is a scam. If you want to argue that a specific event somehow cancels out the larger general problem then you're even dumber than I thought. Carry on idiots.
And from a famous "right-winger", George W. Bush, we get the following bedrock of most Republican thought:
"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe — I believe what I believe is right." –Rome, Italy, July 22, 2001
'nuff said
Unfortunately this slime ball Al Gore has bankrolled millions of dollars in his estate – which he will still have after his unethical and criminal behavior have been exposed. Thus he can just say— oops, sorry, I believed what the scientists concluded…. that I acted in good faith my intentions were honest and honorable. Well good luck to us because mr slime ball gore will latch on to some other 'cause' and bankroll millions more. What are the chances that mr slime ball gore would stand behind his apology and personally reassign the nobel peace prize to Irena Sendler, a most deserving and inspirational human being…. if you don't know who she is then search her name on the internet and be humbled when you learn what a human being is capable of.
Should i then assume global warming is a fabrication made up by dems, liberals and quite a lot of non american world scientists?His motives may be suspect ,but should you toss away scientific findings because of his alledged motive?
Congratulations on pursuing your PhD at a 2nd-rate college. This will allow you to make great contribitions to our society's problems. You did not mention whether or not you are gay.
look in the mirror lately?
i think you mean your other left, sir
maybe if the climate changes enough, these folks won't be able to reproduce.
they cannot restart their arrested state of development. excruciating, maybe, but not exacerbating.
more than u can count
in Her wisdom, God gave more to some than to others
One of those values should be population control. In my lifetime, world population has gone from 1.3B to 6.8B. We are the biggest problem.
"Soylent Green" anybody?
no it don't. it's electrician terminology (comedy}
get me 1 2
What makes a public university 2nd-rate?
I don't have to prove it. You are asking me to both give you money and change my lifestyle. Unless you are pointing a gun at me, all I have to do is say "No, I choose not to". Unless you convince me that you are right and that I should change my lifestyle, what you are doing is called "armed robbery".
And about your gay question–sorry if I gave the wrong impression, but I am REALLY not interested.
stop beating around the bush. come out and say what you mean.
Sorry, Repugnerants. While you wuz out drinkin n smokin during school, future democrats studied and learned enough to run NASA and figure out planetary warming. For space shuttle flights, you dont get to plug in the launch coordinates that Sarah Palin makes up in her head, because people's LIVES depend on SCIENTIFIC REALITY. And re global warming, you dont get to dictate the planet's course based on some empty suit's irrational rant, because F_ING LIVES depend on SCIENTIFIC REALITY.
So sit down, and STFU like good little selfish entitled whining fwads that you are, especially you, man beast Shiver.
