The former VP may have to answer in court about some of his more fantastic and/or staged claims he's been making.

An Al Gore backlash may be starting to finally take shape.

ONly the really, really stupid have bought this swindle. Most people with a modicum of greymatter figured out that corrupt lawyer politicians really aren’t weather experts.

Perhaps an action to commit Al to an insane asylum might be more appropriate.

Mistakenly read "carbon credits" as "caribou credits" and the whole ANWR deal flashed before my eyes.

What a relationship.

Did you ever realize that about 2.5 acres will actually be put to use to pump oil out of ANWR yet the caribou who are to be protected by preventing the drilling already occupy and use a full ONE QUARTER OF EARTH'S LAND SURFACE just to eat and poop!?

Both fraudulent deals ~ protect caribou; sell carbon credits. String 'em all up! Demand a refund while we're at it.

My MIL is a blind lib - all her info is from Newsweak.

When the topic of Algore’s energy usage came up, she declared that he “went green” and “is using solar power” now.

She blanked when I told her that it would require about a city block of solar panels to power OUR house, & obviously 12 times that for Algore’s house. You can’t get around the math.

The MSM and most Democrats say that those who dissagree with global warming are like holocaust deniers only worse. Almost all the top Democrats and many Republicans(John McCain, George Bush) have bought into global warming and are already proposing government programs to combat it. Those scientists who oppose it are losing funding and being silenced. The UN is recommending global warming policies. Global warming theory is false but Gore and the global warming people are winning.

Always remember; If it seems to good to be true, it’s probably not! But I sure hope it’s true.

Hey Al...just think of it...if you get sued and lose it all, you finally can reduce your carbon footprint and you’ll no longer be a hypocrite
you’ll have to live poor, which you don’t know how to do.

Arctic, the main location of any sign of GW:

The forecast by researchers at CU-Boulder’s Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research is based on satellite data and temperature records and indicates there is a 59 percent chance the annual minimum sea ice record will be broken this fall for the third time in five years.

Excellent. His use of the styrofoam glacier scene from the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” in his idiotic slide show may be adequate to get a fraud conviction. He lobbied to have his slide show shown to schoolkids across the country and touted it as “settled” science.

Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

Intentional infliction of emotional distress involves outrageous and extreme conduct that goes beyond the bounds of common human decency and causes emotional harm to another. In order for an act or acts to rise to the level of “emotional distress” they must far surpass mere insults, annoyances, indignities and other trivialities.

The conduct must be regarded as atrocious and beyond the bounds tolerated by a civilize society. The act must be so egregious that a reasonable and prudent human being would be unable to tolerate such conduct. An example of such a case would be for someone to falsely inform a parent that their child had just been raped and killed.
The relationship of the parties and the susceptibility of the plaintiff are two other factors that are considered in cases of intentional infliction of emotional distress. If the defendant has been in a position of authority over the plaintiff, then the claim is given more weight. In addition, if the plaintiff had a certain peculiarity or susceptibility that the defendant knew about and took advantage of in an egregious manner, then this is also given more weight in the claim.

In order for a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress to go forward, the following must be proven:

1. The conduct by the defendant was outrageous or extreme
2. The defendant, by intention or reckless disregard, caused the emotional distress
3. The plaintiff did, indeed suffer emotional distress
4. The proximate cause of the emotional distress was by the defendant’s actions

Bystanders may also make claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress especially if they were in the “zone of danger” for the offense. Some jurisdictions require that the bystander be physically injured or impacted in order to make this claim, while others do not. For instance, some courts hold that the proximity to danger and the fear for one’s own life is enough to cause emotional distress.

Intentional infliction of emotion distress claims may also be a part of slander, libel and defamation of character cases.

Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress

Negligent infliction of emotional distress is a claim that is not widely accepted by many states and jurisdictions. The legal concept is that Person A owes a duty of care to Person B to take reasonable care to avoid causing emotional distress or injury. Many states have shunned the theory of negligent infliction of emotional distress since it is difficult to define and quantify.

Either intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress claims usually arise out of serious or catastrophic personal injury cases. If you believe that you’ve suffered from an infliction of emotional distress caused by another, then contact a personal injury lawyer who can evaluate the merits of your case.

There are only TWO [2] major contributors to 'Global Warming' or Cooling on Planet Earth -- neither of which we have any control over:

SUN
and
WATER VAPOR

All the rest are minor in comparison.
I suggest we drop him and his kayak in the Pacific, blubbering moron!
