No matter what happens, even surrounding his personal life or his pet cause global warming, former Vice President Al Gore just isn't going away.
During an Aug. 10 conference call, Gore launched into a critique of the media's recent coverage of ClimateGate, specifically blogs, talk radio and "biased right-wing media."
"Well I believe Mark Twain often gets the credit for the saying ... that a lie runs around the world before the truth gets its boots on," Gore said. "Now I'm not sure that's the real reason for it, but there is a sad but undeniable truth that those who wanted to try sewing confusion used an echo chamber from blogs and talk show hosts and biased right-wing media to promulgate the distortions of the paid skeptics and professional deniers who tried to undermine the evidence."

The media have been cheerleading Gore for a long time. Maybe he should trade in his Nobel Prize for not doing a better job.

“those who wanted to try sewing confusion”
May be a thread of truth here, but missspelling also.
To: Rufus2007
Looks like his credibility is down, his speaking tours are down, book sales down, temperatures are down, and he needs money to live the power elite life style to which he is accustomed.
To: Rufus2007
I believe Twain said “pants” not “boots” and I can understand Gore’s sudden reluctance to talk about anything keeping its pants on. Gore is right though, the lie about Global Warming got around the world six times before people began to figure out the real inconvenient truth. He’s a psycho and needs to put out to pasture.

a lie runs around the world before the truth gets its boots onStrange as it may seem, because Gore is so incredibly full of himself, he lacks the self awareness to grasp the fact that it is Gore himself who has most assiduously worked to spread the catastrophic man-made global warming lie, and the actions of the "skeptics" are merely an indication that the truth is beginning to emerge to counter his own lies and distortions... Pot, meet kettle...

“who tried to undermine the evidence”
Talk about revisionist history! The only ones who undermined the evidence are those who used a “trick” to “hide the decline”.
The evidence is that the warming trend has stopped, thus a decline that needed to be ‘hid’. The “trick” used was to deselect any recording station that showed a decrease in temperature and to keep the data from any that showed an increase.
Given that leeway I could show you that the Earth was either warming or cooling any year that you allowed me to select my data points.
