An Inconvenient Truth

[deeper thoughts]

He's taken very seriously by all but a rather small minority. That's why he got a Nobel prize.

Arafat was in that minority, kind of shameful

Your statement reminds me of the anecdote about the liberal claiming it was impossible that Bush was elected:

"I don't know anybody that voted for him!"

You really need to get out more. You might be amazed how many do not share your world view.

Yes, count me in as one who takes him seriously.

A serious nutcake.

Love that private jet he leases to put on his dog and pony show!!

Like I said....a minority.

The film is excellent - it won an Oscar.
The man won a Nobel prize.

Simple.

Actually......that's exactly what I have.....a world view. The US is split roughly 50/50. The rest of the world thinks Al Gore is Ok in the main.

Even Bush agrees with the science in the film now.

I am a scientist (physicist), so do I get to speak?
just joking.

Earth getting warmer: obvious

however, the cause for the effect, the exact correlation between CO2 and temperature, the long term effects, etc, are suspect.

Obviously the climate is changing; it has changed before; it will change again. We have just emerged from a mini-ice age, just being a few hundred years ago, which is nothing on these time scales.

Al Gore obviously does not practice what he preaches. Does he deserve a Nobel prize? As said, does many of the people earning a peace prize "deserve" them. The peace prize is a political prize, not an accomplishment prize. It's not like he established the theory of quantum electrodynamics.

why? because he likes a good steak on the bbq grill?

Because he is a hypocrite. Lives a lavish lifestyle of energy use:

And expects the unwashed masses to live an ascetic life of energy deprivation.
