Al Gore pocketed an Oscar for his doomsday climate documentary.
Actually, this is not true. He merely accepted it on behalf of the actual winner, Davis Guggenheim. The Best Documentary Award is not given to the star of the documentary or the actors involved but to the directors or producers. So he may have stuffed the statuette into his deep pockets but it was not his to keep.
Lots of gov't money channeled to academics will dry up. Oh, how the piglets will squeal when the teat is removed.
If "Best Acting on One's Own Behalf" was an Oscar category, then he would've won an oscar.
Has American media taken notice of this? You'd think someone stateside would want to cash in on this?
I was thinking of going on Craig's List and selling "Carbon Credits" to these idiots. After all, there are "legit" websites that offer the same nonsense.
I'm tempted to call it the Global Warming Industrial-Media Complex
Follow-the-money BUMP!
Piglets have the sweetest back ribs when carefully butchered. Carving tenure out of the academics ought to do the trick.

I thought this was about Al Gore. Why bring Hillary into the discussion?
As a planet warms, for whatever reason, for whatever reason, the atmosphere will shift to heavier molecules: straight Boltzman mechanics. The lighter particles are first to boil off.(The lost gases are replaced by outgassing from the interior and more or less held here by gravity).
I am the same age as Al Gore. This is really, really an ignorant individual, along with a whole lot of others. But Noooooo, there ain't no conspiracy to manipulate western civilization.
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."
Adolf Hitler
Speech November 1933, quoted in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer
If we have learned anything from the last century it is that government and science need to be separated. Much like the separation between church and state. If you allow government to fund and administer science, you only seem to end up with Political Science.
The glass in a greenhouse does not trap heat. For a substance to trap heat it must reflect the heat back into an enclosed space. Glass actually absorbs heat (infrared light) and radiates it back out of the enclosed space. So the light entering a greenhouse is only visible light from the sun. It is not infrared light (heat). The visible light entering the greenhouse is partially absorbed by some of the non-white less reflective internal surfaces. These internal surfaces warm and heat the surrounding air or water vapor. This water vapor is trapped inside the green house by the glass and it will eventually warm. So a greenhouse warms because of trapped water vapor (humidity). Not trapped heat. You cannot trap heat with glass.

It would be best overall for truth and honesty to once again reenter our modern society as a virtue and not a vice. But that ship sailed a long time ago. In other words, most of those editors and publishers know their work is in error. They do not want to be corrected.
MMMMMM. The tenure is the best tasting part.
A MUCH more accurate name.
after looking at the loss of technical jobs in the future to asia on the front page of the wall street journal today,
i guess we'll need these jobs,
even tho' it's bad science.
