Will he be open to debate the facts of the movie then?

Or more snide comments about how “you should tell the polar bearz that” when told that polar bear populations are INCREASING.

Where's the contract??? I demand to see the contact. Right now.
Don't make me dig through campus trash looking for something, anything.

A video of opinions of people coming out of this debacle could be interesting ..

Vice President Al Gore will deliver his wildly popular ...
Nope, no bias in this report.

My daughters high school here in CA actively told students not to apply to UCSD in their applications.

I was there in the 70’s but it has become so impacted today it is not worth going to.

What a dufus. And those that go to see this guy are mentally ill. They’re part of a mass psychosis... someone snap your fingers and welcome them back to consciousness.

Well here is ONE of his rider contractual agreements for a $100,000 speaking engagement...

AL GORE, $100,000 MAN (Gore's 2007 speaking contract) (from The Smoking Gun)

JULY 17--If you're looking to book Al Gore for a 75-minute "Environmental Multimedia Lecture," the former vice president will cost you $100,000, plus travel, hotel, security, and per diem expenses. Gore's standard speaker's contract, a copy of which you'll find below, also stipulates that the Democrat's ground transportation be "a sedan, NOT an SUV."

Additionally, Gore requests that speech sponsors make every effort to use a hybrid vehicle for his transport. The Gore contract, which is more restrained than the one used by Rudolph Giuliani, stipulates that no press be permitted at the event and that the Democrat receive approval over the distribution of photographs from the appearance. Gore's contract for a May 21 appearance at the University of California, San Diego was released by the school. Though the contract seeks "absolute confidentiality" when it comes to the deal's terms, since UCSD is a public university, the California Public Records Act requires that the document be released upon request.

Wildly popular? The only people I know who have seen this film are students who were FORCED to see it. I think this film is widely derided.

Only wild.

Hitler was wildly popular too, at least according to Hollywood honored director Leni Riefenstahl.

Look out San Diego! Everywhere Gore goes, it snows!

Will he be open to debate the facts of the movie then?

I recall Gore mentioning that the debate was, ummm, over.

When a whore the likes of Al Gore is through with them, they should change their institution's name to UC-STD.

Well, we were just in the Alps. There was a big exhibit about ALL their glaciers in the museum, and not spit about Global Warming. There was a lot of information about how the glaciers have advanced and retreated over the thousands of years, and how cold it had been between 1600-1800 and the glaciers had advanced, and that this was the natural cycle.

Also, in southern Germany it has been a great deal colder this winter than usual.

Take that, Al Gore. There is nothing like reality!

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography should be ashamed for supporting something as blatantly unscientific as An Inconvenient Truth.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Al Gore? There should be a barf alert at just the mention of his name!
