I was wondering who they would get to speak after Alfred E. Newman and I turned them down.
Probably about what he thinks of his New York Post.
I would never in a million years attend a speech given by this clear lunatic.
Bozo the clown was booked or something? This fool certainly isn't funny.
If I had enough folks with me to start a good chant "Get out of Cheney's house" or something maybe I'd go.
Harold Camping actually believed the world was coming to an end. Al Gore is just playing for the fame and fortune.
‘public opinion polls’ as such, are next to worthless...unless, you are YOURSELF Liberal.
I have said this before:
I used to work at a survey research center. I can assure you that legitimate survey businesses (and it IS a business) think themselves wholly ethical in seeking/receiving funding WHILE routinely writing/conducting the most prejudiced and unbalanced surveys you can imagine. It is done in many ways … from the choice of ‘words’ to the method of presentation. Examples:
• NO ONE (not the survey writer OR the sponsoring agency) challenges the tenor, facets or choice of ‘questions’
• ALL ‘possible responses’ will invariably make Conservatives appear as Liberals and not EVER fully or fairly represent Conservatism/Conservative views.
• There are NO ‘possible responses’ designed to impartially record Conservative views and SOME questions are framed with a premise which puts Conservatism in a negative light
• When/where Conservatives are free to express their Conservatism, the question is designed so that they must incriminate themselves and Conservatism by answering honestly
There’s more, but you get the picture. There are a lot of overpaid Ph.D’s. running around doing this stuff for a living who wouldn’t write or conduct an unbiased survey if their lives depended on it.
DO NOT trust surveys!!
When a cartoon popular with the younger crowd lampoons you like this, you have zero credibility left, especially for things like graduations. I guarantee that more than a few kids were quietly saying, "Gwoan!" (the mythical call for the mythical man-bear-pig that Al Gore stalked in the cartoon. The 4th graders felt very sorry for the inept clown.)
Poor Al has to keep trying to sell it, because all of his credibility is invested in it.
When the Carbon Credits industry began shutting down, Al could have shown a bit of integrity by admitting his fool’s errand. But, apparently, many of them, including Al, want to go down with the sinking ship.
No I can’t.
Higher education professionals are some the most shamelessly biased and intellectually irresponsible people in America.
I discovered this as a college student myself and the ‘bad taste’ has never gone away.
College SHOULD be a place to learn and grow. Instead... it was for me, just something I had to endure and to get passed as quickly and painlessly as possible.
I squirmed in my chair for four years while they attempted to invalidate me, my family, my faith, my patriotism and everything I believe! It was like being assaulted on a daily basis and challenging any of it would be certain trouble for me.
The natural thing would have been to respect and venerate professors and strive to remain in touch with them. As it is… they can call themselves lucky if they don’t run into me again.
Al Camping Gore should realize his gig was up long ago. The rubes are on to you Mr. Camping (I mean Mr Gore).
it will be very interesting, when it becomes common knowledge how they have falsified records, lied, etc., to “hide the decline” in temperature.
plenty of reputable scientists have already said this is the most expensive hoax in human history...
here is just one very tiny example.
(and NASA says the uban heat island effect can be 8.0 degrees, but they don’t adjust downward for that.
that alone, is an order of magnitude greater, than the feeble 0.6 warming trend they report, after adjusting tempertures UPWARDS by several degrees...)

And his nose grew 4-5 feet in length to the surprise of the crowd.
98% of climate scientists? I wonder if he ever looked at this list of 31,000 Scientists that say his feckless ramblings are a hoax:

Even back in 2005 ACTUAL scientists were calling Tommy Flanagan’s bluff:
“Atmospheric physicist S. Fred Singer, professor emeritus of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia and former director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service, sent a letter to the editor of USA Today directly refuting its claim. “Your editorial ... claim[s] the global warming debate is over. Not so,” wrote Singer.
Singer wrote, “Sea level will continue to rise by only seven inches per century as it has for thousands of years no matter what we do or what the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] says. And temperatures in the next 100 years will likely rise by less than one degree F—not exactly a catastrophe.”
Added Singer in a subsequent letter to the Canadian media, “Thousands of scientists from many countries now fully understand that Kyoto and other efforts to control human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are ineffective and entirely unfounded scientifically.
“Even if you ignore the enormous cost of Kyoto (estimated recently by Prof. George Taylor of Oregon State University—see http://www.sitewave.net/news/s49p628.htm—at one trillion U.S. dollars a year for full implementation in OECD countries), climate science research is rapidly moving AWAY from the hypothesis that the human release of greenhouse gases, specifically CO2, is in any way significantly contributing to global climate change.”
Sour grapes? I’ll show you sour grapes. If you don’t want me as your president fine! I’ll make fools of you gullible peasants!
You’ll enrich me when I force the government to buy my writs of absolution…erm…that is to say my highly scientific carbon credits.
You will all love me and adore ME. Al Gore! Erect statues in my name or else I’ll make it very hot! …..or very cold by making it hot.
Worship me and my religion. Bow down and offer your tax money and freedom. Shower me with carbon credits. That is your only hope!
Please, PLEASE believe me!!!!!
(sobbing)
Why, O why, didn’t you elect me as your president. (boo-hoo-hoo hoo)
Why doesn’t he come up with some kind of a unicorn-based hoax?
Unicorns will come to your home in large number and breath fire on you if you don’t buy posters of them and put them in your 10 year old daughter’s room or paint a picture of them on your stylin’ 1970’s van.
The only way to stop the unicorns? Give Al Gore unicorn credits and pay the government a special “unicorn deterrent tax”.
The govt will come up with curfews and guidelines to help you deal with the unicorns when they come in large numbers. These guidelines may destroy many businesses and economies around the world, but it is the second most important challenge the world has ever faced! (after AGW, which no one believed…so we’re moving on)
Every PHONY professional scientific association in every field related to the study of climate says it is. Ninety-eight percent of all climate PSUEDO-scientists say it is.
There, fixed it.
How can you disagree with a scientific giant that is the only person who knows that it is “several million degrees” 2 kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface. Besides, how can you not trust a science wizard that got a D" in Natural Sciences (Man's Place in Nature). ...
