Well, he sure works hard at it.

I don't hate albore. He's just NOT credible, and therefore, should disappear.
So, Tommy - how come Gore didn't do anything with that when he was in office?
ALGORE's problem is that nobody notices him...............and for good reason..........
I don't think he has any friends.
Worse than that, AlGore always seem to think he is, by far, the smartest guy in the room. And by trying to prove that he is the smartest guy in the room, everyone else sees that is the stupidest guy in the room, no matter who he is talking to.
Who caused Earth's last ICE AGE?
Who caused it to melt?
No. We're not.
As a GW believer, this statement is CRAP, and one of the problems with this entire argument. WE CAN have it all. All the energy we need, and STILL be "good" about CO2 emissions. Sure, there will be a transitional period, but so what? Thats what we Americans are good at, ADAPTING! Lets go Nuclear, lets use Renewable Fuels. Lets let good ole American Know-How, and Can-Do, do its magic.
All I see from BOTH sides is that awful pessimism about it.
There are ways to "fix" things, and they would be GOOD for the USA, even if GW turned out to be wrong.
As for Al Gore, he can kiss my ash..
Yawnnnnnnnnnnn...can't hardly stay awa,..........{HAAAAAAUUUGHH Hegghh HUUUEEEE}
1.) Maybe he didn't think he had the controlling legal authority,
2.) He was distracted because of all that iced tea he was drinking,
or
3.) It was inconvenient.
Earth Tone ping!
The author's attempt to distinguish himself from the right and from the left on this issue is sadly unimpressive.
The only relevant issue in regards to "An Inconvenient Truth" is whether or not the science behind it is solid. Unfortunately, the actual inconvenient truth of global warming is that there is absolutely no way to prove that mankind has a global, and significant impact on climate. The fact that human technology is not going to sit still while we continue to collect observations, the variables of the hypothetical human contribution to climate change are going to continue to change, thus making a scientific analysis of actual cause and effect impossible.
And while the author was correct about there being other reasons besides possible human impacts on climate to regulate emissions, the differences between what global warming proponents propose and what rationally conservative environmental policies propose are radically different. The liberal environmentalists envision a world where there are far fewer humans and very little industry. The rational and conservative environmentalists envision a world where technology and science offset human impact on the environment allowing for growth and development.
When you get right down to it - the liberal solution won't work without a central world government, and genocide of the world's poor. While the genocide might be unintentional - it would be inevitable because the wealthier nations would be unable to afford the expense of aiding the poorer nations. For the most part, the wealthier nations would be only steps away from poverty themselves. And the conservative solution would work either way - if humans are behind global warming, science will probably overcome the problems, but such science takes money to develop into practical technologies. Money that otherwise would be unavailable or misspent under the liberal plan. Or if global warming is not man made, then the conservative plan would help prepare mankind to deal with the consequences of natural climate change.
Liberals have proposed a lose-lose solution. Conservatives have a win-win solution.
Nuclear power is the way to go. We need nuclear not because of the Global Warming Hoax but because it is cheaper and renewable.
Number three: Manbearpig will kill us all. Seriously, nobody disagrees that the "destruction of the Earth by human hands" would be bad; it's just that many of us think that the threat is a laughable hoax.
As a conservative, albeit a fairly moderate one...
Seminar caller.
...I really, really don't like Al Gore. Most Republicans feel the same way, although they might admit to something stronger — hating him.
Right. Slam real conservatives by accusing them of "hate", after claiming to sympathize with their "dislike".
"So, Tommy - how come Gore didn't do anything with that when he was in office?"
As whacked-out looney and bizarre as Al is, we all need to drop and thank God that he didn't do anything while in office.
The man has never looked like he had a full pallet of bricks.
" everyone else sees that (he) is the stupidest guy in the room"
Perfect! I will not suffer being lectured to by a dumba$$. And oGre is a
DUMBA$$!
Well, he sure works hard at it.
False, false and false.
Soil, air and water are not becoming saturated with toxic wastes.
Rain forests are not disappearing.
Species are not being decimated.
Google (or better yet, another search engine) "The Skeptical Environmentalist" and read the first chapter for news on how environmental extremists twisted and manipulated data to come to these conclusions.
I always end up laughing at people who try to impress me with their intelligence. ALGore is the poster boy for that.
