kevbone Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 You mean his help with global warming as he fly's around in his jet warming the planet up? Quote
foraker Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Not to steal his thunder, but it's not all that hard to get nominated if you're politically connected. Nancy Pelosi could nominate Karl Rove if she wanted to. Quote
jmace Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 You mean his help with global warming as he fly's around in his jet warming the planet up? Actually that keeps the planet cooler offsetting the affects of global warming...look at the data during 9/11 when there was no air traffic.. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Did you guys see that Al Gore was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, for his work on global warming? global warming. peace. does not compute. Quote
Raindawg Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Forget Gore! Klimbers 4 Kerry will save the day! They were able to help Bush get re-elected, so they probably could do something about global warming! Yee-ha! Mr. John Kerry: always doing his part! And here's John Edwards, always checking his part: Quote
Bigtree Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Wow, first he invented the internet and now this - he's a bona fide American superhero. Well, kinda. Well, not really. I actually think he's a media slut who can't stay out of the spotlight for 5 mins without going into withdrawal fits. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Media slut or no, he sure did a bang up job closing the ignorance gap with "An Inconvient Truth". Kudos to you for actually talking about something that matters, Mr. Gore. Quote
Dechristo Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Gee, I didn't know Kerry was in a Woody Allen movie. Cool! wonder if he had to take swimming lessons? for everything, but the backstroke that is. Quote
rob Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 Wow, first he invented the internet... Urban Legend Quote

Kudos to you for actually talking about something that matters, Mr. Gore. Very true. And you would think that Americans would have a great appreciation for this. We tend to answer "education" to every problem, but then don't fund that or support it. Al did. Quote
drater Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Loved the look on his face when Dennis Miller asked him on his show: who rolls the tighter joint, you or tipper? Quote
drater Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Great, the canookians wanna keep the GOP in power. Quote
AlpineK Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Al isn't some super scientist, but he does a good job presenting a real problem we face. Quote
Couloir Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Not to steal his thunder, but it's not all that hard to get nominated if you're politically connected. Nancy Pelosi could nominate Karl Rove if she wanted to. Rush Limbaugh was nominated. Quote

Nancy Pelosi could nominate Karl Rove if she wanted to. Rush Limbaugh was nominated. Here's some recent great stuff from the man himself: On economics: The average weekly salary in Mexico's four bucks, and a tortilla costs three now, and that's why they're rioting down there. National uproar has put the new president in an uncomfortable position between the poor and some agribusiness industries hoping to profit from the surge in international corn prices. See? It happens everywhere, folks, big business. Did you see the Exxon profit? Oh, this is great. This is great news. Makes me feel proud to be an American. Makes me love capitalism. ExxonMobil reported the largest annual profit in US history, $39.5 billion dollars. Yes! Despite a 4% decline in fourth quarter profit, Exxon posted fourth quarter net income of $10.25 billion, or $1.76 a share on revenue of $90.3 billion. “The oil and gas giant said that its latest results reflect lower natural gas realizations and refining margins partly offset by higher crude realizations and improved chemical market.” Well, I don't know what that means, but I love seeing it, I love hearing it. Record US profit. On that Global Warming myth: Look at the problem with the moose up in Anchorage. We told you about this yesterday, so much snow, more snow than they can deal with, despite global warming, that the moose have migrated into Anchorage but there's so much more snow in Anchorage than there usually is that the moose are taking up space on roads and sidewalks and plowed pathways and this kind of thing. It's just nonsense. Yeah...snow falling in Alaska in the winter- that settles it. Actually, in truth, statistically most of AK's precip is from July to October. In the winter, snowfall varies but generally, the heaviest ones happen when...it's REALLY WARM. Quote
W Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 And moose in the streets.... They're in the streets of Los Anchorage- heck, their in my fricken driveway- every winter. There's signs on the roads every year with the flip-number thing telling you the moose roadkill body count for the season. Quote
W Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 The two paragraphs I posted came in the same rant, minutes apart. So if anyone's wondering where the denial for global warming has it's motivations... Apparently it's our patriotic duty to express open ended joy at the record profits of price gouging energy industries, whether your invested in them or not. Quote
archenemy Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Wow, that is profit. Something like 4 million and hour? Amazing. Quote
Crux Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Meanwhile, ExxonMobile dollars are going out to pay off $10,000 each to scientists who will agree to dispute the findings published yesterday in the latest major climate change report: Guardian Unlimited Quote
dmuja Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Meanwhile, ExxonMobile dollars are going out to pay off $10,000 each to scientists who will agree to dispute the findings published yesterday in the latest major climate change report: Guardian Unlimited This really deserves its own thread. My favorite quote.. Ben Stewart of Greenpeace said: "The AEI is more than just a thinktank, it functions as the Bush administration's intellectual Cosa Nostra. They are White House surrogates in the last throes of their campaign of climate change denial. They lost on the science; they lost on the moral case for action. All they've got left is a suitcase full of cash." If I was the God thingy, I would just take a big'ol shit right on the United States.. and it would only land on the bad people. Quote
