Re: Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Actually, in theory, global warming could affect world peace as usable resources began to dwindle. Keep in mind that I am just hypothesizing here, so feel free to throw any facts that may counter this.

The rest of your post is entirely opinion and not worthy of comment.

Re: Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Al Gore has dedicated nearly 40 years of his life to the study of climate change. He's written books about it, and his movie is one of the best movies of 2006. Like "My Dinner With Andre", "An Inconvenient Truth" showed how a movie doesn't have to be told the same old way. He's passionate, enlightening, and funny, and if America had had 6 years with him instead of Bush, you wouldn't be stuck in the pointless nightmare that is the war in Iraq.

Any Republican VP with his record of reducing debt and helping to create the Kyoto Accord in '97 would be seen as a saint in the Republican Party, so give the man his due. He's actually been a straight up guy all these years, working for the people, not the powerful, not himself. He's a man of dignity, a statesman, and his argument about the climate crisis has shifted the debate in America significantly enough that global warming is now a non-debate unless you're a numbskull righty in America suffering from denial and working for big oil or gas. It's funny, even evangelicals support the environment, and many have broken with the administration since they've discovered that the White House isn't doing anything about it.

Re: Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

So...Gore gets all kinds of credit for the works of others.

Just like a politician.

I'm fairly neutral in my attitudes towards him. However, "An Inconvenient Truth" said absolutely nothing that I had not already heard or read about by people far more qualified.

That's okay. There always has to be someone's ass to kiss in this world and I guess his is going to get really sloppy over the next few months.

Taking credit for others work is a Liberal trait! EXAMPLES:

Gore
Kerry in Vietnam
The Clintons
Nancy Loosepussy
Liberal Socialist Congress...etc

Actually he knows there is no global warming, the fuck owns a strip mine for goodness sakes.
You people are being decieved.

This is about as lame as the redefining of the "doomsday clock" to include global warming.
The weather channel won’t hire meteorologists that don’t believe in global warming and there talking about decertifying all that don’t also. There doing the same shit they did with Darwinism back in the 70’s. No scientific journals, publishing’s or text books that contradict evolution theory.
If they succeed in getting the young and weak-minded to believe these Nam era movements, say bye bye to your way of life. These sandal wearing ten-speed riding Nam era *cough* scientists still can ride to the Organic Tofu Outlet near campus.

ah huh the “Fahrenheit 911” of global warming..and his mass of inaccuracies , exaggerations plus overheated arguments mean nothing …if his case was that strong, he would not have resorted to scare tactics and wild exaggerations…..if you are the types to be lulled inot a womb of belief by subtle visual propaganda then Leni Riefenstahl might be your hero…...the heck with "truth"...if its true to him and a handful that believe everything he spouts lets recognize him………….. sure okay...

regards numbskull righty, there ya go, perferct...if we don't beleive we must be idiots. The lib mantra....

the doubts were there regards kyoto from the beggining...


Clinton administration economists say that, in retrospect, their low cost estimates were unrealistic. They assumed that:

China and India would accept binding emission limits and would fully participate in the emissions-trading system, even though they never signed the treaty.
European opposition to emissions trading could be overcome.
Most industries and consumers would quickly adopt new, energy-efficient technologies, such as advanced air conditioning systems and gas-electric "hybrid" cars, without financial incentives.

Since 1997, however, it has become clear that consumers love their gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicles and aren't embracing energy-efficient technologies; China has no intention of participating in the treaty; and Europe still wants to limit emissions trading as a partial solution to global warming.

Todd Stern, Clinton's global warming coordinator, says that the Europeans would likely go along with an unlimited trading system if the Bush administration would return to the negotiating table to produce a revised treaty it could sign. However, he concedes that China won't participate for now.

Even so, Clinton economists say, Bush could have tried to revise the treaty to reflect these new realities. By simply walking away from it, he is letting the Europeans portray the United States as the villain, even though they privately admit that they, too, may be unable to comply with the treaty. "George Bush has done all the work for the Europeans," says Robert Lawrence, a Clinton administration economist now at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

Lindsey, however, insists that the Kyoto Protocol is beyond repair. "The models are not even close in suggesting Kyoto was the right approach," he says. "It was wrong. I think we did the right thing."

agreed.....they take the scientific debate or any dissenters OUT of the public realm so they can broadcast information they pick and choose to buttress their position...they will browbeat the public until they just accept it or get tired of it and just accept it through exhaustion…. while they go merrily along ignoring other science and practicalities that make deeply kyoto flawed...but the heck with that..lets just get on the bandwagon...

and of course we have senators one from each party who write a letter to Exxon et al subtly threatening them , telling them to get out of the global warming debate…very scientific and abhorrent to the public interest.

Nice to see that someone thinks Gore's work has been worthwhile.
Yea, really says a lot for the integrity of infra-working systems…
Everything is breaking down. The park census system changed there figures and apologized to the black community on there 183,000 -240,000 -350,000 million man count, exit polls after the al-gore/president Bush ballots for the first time in history began picking democrats at a 35% inaccuracy rate, a voting system used for generations suddenly doesn’t work because democrats keep loosing, marriage licensing for anybody wanting to marry anything, on and on with every freaking thing they touch.
Ummmm what?

anyways, good for Gore whether he wins or not
Sorry, that was kinda general.
(Bear with me. Were having kind of an emergency down here. I still have power but have roof damage and am hunting down relatives. There’s another tornado on the ground right now about 50 miles from where I live.)

These organizations are becoming like the academy awards did in the 1980‘s. For the first time since there construct, your generation is witnessing exclusive normalization and conditioning now reaching every information and entertainment source.
Integrity lose is resulting in every aspect of society and system structure.

A trader that during time of war who would call his own president a war criminal during time of war and enemy propaganda getting a noble peace prize is just laughable to me.

MY MY MY, you really like Liberals don't you????? You remind me of the little fourth grad boy who says, I don't like Girls --especially Mary (or whatever his favorite's name is)

Methinks you're a "closet Liberal", or at least very envious of us.
