Ive been asked to moderate a private seminar at UC Irvine next month that has a very provocative title: The Climate Change Dilemma and Why People Hate Al Gore. The seminar is being sponsored by Prosperitas, a small new group of wealthy peers which is partnering with with UCIs Merage School of Business to explore hot topics.
Hot, indeed.
Virtually every time I write about the weather and every time I write about climate change or global warming I get lots of comments from readers, many which express a disgust or hatred of Gore, who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to publicize the potential impact of Earths changing climate.
Mary Patrick, Prosperitas associate director and organizer of the seminar, originally considered calling the discussion, simply, Why does everyone hate Al Gore? But the title was tweaked because Gore actually won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election and he is admired by many for his Oscar-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
But Patrick is right in saying politics has had a polarizing effect on climate change debate, distracting people from focusing on what scientists are actually saying. The lecture panel (read line-up) will take up that issue, and wed like to hear your thoughts about this. Im going to use reader comments to craft some of the questions.
Specifically, I want you to tell me what impact you think Gore has had on the climate change debate. (Use the Comment feature below). I encourage you to be candid, but dont simply offer up insults like, Gore is an idiot.

If I was HONEST about it, I’d get ZOTTED for SURE!!!

Let me guess--- it's "Global Warming's" fault. Our brains are fried...
Good one!
Well I absolutely would like to slap him down to my size, for his condescending method of speaking to the American people like we're all a bunch of ignorant Democrat voters; who are just waiting to receive marching orders from him!
There are still a great majority of Americans who have some common sense, and we refuse to buy into his global hysteria about green house gases, with the need to give our money to him or anyone else who says they'll fix a problem that we know doesn't even exist.
Al Gore a "charlatan"? I think that if you look the word up in "Wikipedia", you'll find his picture, along with Bill Clinton's!
Because we can.
Maybe people hate Al because his timing is off, like scheduling appearances at conferences on “global warming” in the middle of winter. Maybe it’s because with the arrival of the new incarnation of the Messiah, the planet isn’t big enough for two false Prophets of Doom. I don’t hate him, though, I think he’s been a blessing to conservatives and Republicans alike.
Interesting question this is about perhaps the least likeable politician of the last 50 years.
Because he is so ... hateable. Is that a word??
Never mind, it is now.
Just a guess, Gary, but maybe it's because Algore is a lying hyporcite!
The real one and the hologram.
A baby-murderer. A liar. A crook. A pompous, hypocritical, unctuous ass. A swindler. A sociopath. Fat. Fatter. Fatter. Fatter. Fatter. A bully. “Didn’t know how to evaluate” juAnita Broaddrick’s story of being raped by Bill Clinton.
Firstly, because he is a liar.
Secondly, through his lies and carbon credits scams, he will make billions.
Wrong.
Thirdly, he and his father are far Lefties who obtained a large amount of political funding via Occidental Oil from Tennessee...hypocrites.
Looks like the government is run by egocentric sociopaths now. That’s not hyperbole on my part. I believe it. But it does make sense that egocentric sociopaths like Al Gore would covet governmental control and power over normal people. They are in every country and in every era. We just have to figure out how to defeat them.
