Here’s the first thing you shouldn’t do in front of Al Gore. Be skeptical about catastrophic, human-caused global warming. He will rip your reputation apart, just as he once did to reputable, honorable scientists in congressional hearings.
Here’s the second thing you shouldn’t do in front of Al Gore. Ask him whether he himself might have the kind of conflict of interest that he takes for granted in others. For heaven’s sake, do not get into the question of whether he might make a lot of money with the passage of a global warming cap-and-trade tax that he has been fighting for.
Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee thought it might be interesting to find out. After all, Gore is associated with a venture capital company that has invested about $1 billion in companies that just might make a bundle should cap-and-trade become law. So she asked if he would benefit.
Emitting a sigh made infamous in a debate way back when, Gore first replied that “a green economy . . . is good for all of us.” He then said yes, he was a partner in the venture capital company, adding quickly and emphatically that “every penny” he made from environmental investments went to the nonprofit Alliance for Climate Protection.
With a smirk on his face, he huffed that no one who knew him would ever think he had been working on the global warming issue for 30 years for “greed.” When Blackburn said she wasn’t making accusations, he said, “I understand exactly what you’re doing, Congresswoman. Everybody here does.”
Blackburn called it quits at about that point, although she could have noted that Gore was founder and chairman of the nonprofit group he mentioned. She could have explored whether some of the money he gives to the group redounds to him in other ways, such as expense-paid trips. She could also have gotten into reports that his net worth is now $100 million, when it was put at $2 million when he left politics. She could have pursued the tax advantages of his charitable donations.
But she didn’t, and I think it is just as well she didn’t. The money Gore’s made since he was vice president seems to come mostly from Internet ventures and speeches given at $175,000 a whack, and I doubt seriously that his campaign on global warming has anything much to do with money. The man is a true believer, or so I believe.
And yet, his hypocrisy is astounding. While he cannot believe anyone could ever conceivably have reason to question his motives, he has never hesitated to question the motives of those who differed with him. In that case, you were bought out by ExxonMobil or are an equivalent of Bernie Madoff, the Ponzi-scheme swindler.
Congressional hearings he conducted in 1992 have been described as inquisitorial show trials. One victim, Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT, has written about scientists being “in the crosshairs” of Gore, who “tried to bully” them into changing “their views and supporting his climate alarmism.” Lindzen also refers to a failed Gore effort to “enlist Ted Koppel (then a TV host) in a witch hunt to discredit anti-alarmist scientists.”
Lindzen is viewed by some as one of the nation’s foremost climatologist. Unlike Gore — whose movie and slide show have been rife with error — he knows what he is talking about, probably a major reason Gore won’t debate him. Lindzen years ago did about $10,000 worth of work as a witness for fossil-fuel companies. There was nothing wrong with that, and he clearly was not corrupted by it.
Whatever Gore believes, the global warming debate is not over, but what should be over is waging it as an ad hominem contest in which science itself is hurt along with scientists whose arguments should be weighed on their merits.
That's Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Alterations or CACA, for short.
Great balls of fire!
Man Bear Pig is half-man, half-bear, and half-pig. It’s super serial!
This guy has become a joke around the world. His family must be totally embarrased.
If he were a true believer, his actions would probably match his words more closely.

Actually those are exactly the things that should be done to Al Gore and his band of greenieweenies.
Hmmm...$98 million in 9 years? Quite a scheme you got going there, Al.
now I know jet fuel and auto fuel are not exactly the same but here are some numbers to ponder
A Gulfstream jet holds about 41,000 lbs of fuel
on a standard day the fuel weighs 6.6 lbs per gallon
so the jet holds 6,212 gallons
a Cadillac Escalade gets about 15 mpg
an Acura Tl about 22 mpg
and a Toyota Prius gets about 50 mpg
so ONE TANKFUL of fuel for Al Gore to fly around telling us to use less fossil fuel would run the:
Escalade for 93,180 miles
TL for 136,664 miles
Prius for 310,000 miles
or if you drove 40 miles per day 7 days a week
it would run the:
Escalade for 6.5 years
TL for 9.5 years
Prius for 21 years
Contact the local offices of your congressfinks and senatraitors TODAY and tell the you are vehemently opposed to this cap-and-trade scheme.

Here's the first thing you should do in front of Al Gore:
1) Ask him what the molecular weights are of Carbon Dioxide, gaseous Nitrogen, and the weighted average of Earth's atmosphere
2) Ask him to write the Boltzman equation for the energy distribution of a gas at around normal atmospheric pressure and temperature.
3) Ask him how the pK of Carbon Dioxide in the ocean waters changes with global warming.
4) Ask him for what periods in the past 500 million years of Earth's history atmospheric Carbon Dioxide has been at a higher percentage than this century.
5) Ask him to quantify the relative infrared absorption spectrum of water vapor versus Carbon Dioxide.
6) Ask him to list the negative feedback paths for atmospheric Carbon Dioxide in the global climate models.
Ask him to compare the "forcing function" of the anthropogenic CO2 component in the global climate models with those hypothesized for other natural sources.
7) Ask him to describe the available astronomic history of Martian and Venusian atmospheric composition.
Do not let him deflect straight answering.
Assemble his answers, then offer to sit down with him and discuss an analysis of such.
Johnny Suntrade, The Suntrade Institute, will gladly sit in and referee, and all others, including The Council on Foreign Relations, are welcome.
He’s a true believer all right - he believes 100% in Al Gore!

A small doughty band of politicians met a visitor from another world and although the boring manbearpig evil is held at bay for a time the victory was not without casualties.
But before I give the details of this epic battle I have a message for everyone..
Watch the skies! Everyone keep on watching the skies!
The Nobel Peace Prize often doesn’t always go to the most deserving!
For example when Gorebull Warming won, there was a real candidate up for the prize:
A 98 year-old lady named Irena Sendler, who died recently.
During WWII, Irena got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ‘ ulterior motive ‘ ... She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids.)
She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it so that she could reunite the families. Most of course had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.
In 2007 Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming based on Hate America BS and bad science.
LET’S SEND THIS ONE AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS HER May she rest in Peace.

Proof of Gore’s hypocrisy is in his lifestyle. He continues to live in an energy guzzling mansion, flies in private jets and takes limos to his speaking engagements and recently bought a million dollar houseboat. He would expect the rest of us to live in cracker boxes, drive glorified golf carts and give up our boats, SUVs etc to save the planet, but he and his family wouldn’t give up anything. Hypocrite!
His family must be totally embarrased.
Only if they have TVs on their cells.
