I am lol'ing on the floor at some of the canucks here who are pretending to know that the Goreacle is somehow good for America, or at least better than what we have.

Mr. Glowbull warming's house would eat up most of Canada's resources during a hard winter, but I suppose thats fine with some of you. Way to be be green Mr. Inconviency..

:lol: Moral equivalance. And you people. = Priceless.

Again, this is not about u.s. citizens, it's about all of us on this earth, and anyone who is interested ,and will put energy into how we all can improve our life and take of our earth is OK, in my books.
This is NOT politics it is LIFE.

Two questions.
  1. What is Al Gore's total carbon (equivalent) footprint, taking into account all sinks and sources attributable to him and not simply cherrypicking a single source, his home?
  2. How is this in any way relevant to his message? That is, how is this anything but ad hominem?
The fact that some people are saying: "Al Gore doesn't deserve the Nobel peace prize for his environmental activism because he himself doesn't seem to follow it," is the bona fide proof that he deserves it. I have already explained the significance of the prize.

But sir...until the AGW movement got the wind beneath its wings, there wasn't much action on the green front.

Suddenly the AGW theory, is front and center, Kyoto the way to go or die.

I have never seen such fevered and ferocious commentary, action and divisiveness in my life. If the same energy had been expended on the environment...lets say just a mere 10 years ago, we would be in a much different place right now.

I spend a great deal of time in and on rivers, forests, lakes and I have seen the changes...from evasive species(From poluting ocean going vessels in the great lakes), forests filled with litter, contaminated soil signs, to dead lakes, to rivers so poluted, you could almost walk on the water, publications indicating the safe amount of fish to consume from which body of water.

It breaks my heart.

It's all invisible now, the only thing that matters in the temperature and whos to blame.

Like I said before, it will be a great day if we win the climate change war, but what will be left to live on, if we forget about all the other hazards in the process?


I can not disagree, but I do not see that happening in the near future. Reduction, protection and rethinking is full order, but sadly we are to engrained to the use of fossil fuels to breath the habit anytime soon.

What can I say, the guy knows how to bring the heat. I don't think the message is to forget everything else. There are others who also have a message. To some, that message is more important as it hits closer to home. People are still talking about clear cuts, damage to watersheds, mismanagement of fisheries, and the extinction of species due to farming and agracultural footprint.

I don't see any of them as a valid reason to detract from another cause. In reality they are all connected by the eco web.

We need a win here somewhere. There are those who are working diligently against the environment. Note the return to disposable goods and packaging for convenience sake.

The way to solve big problems is to break them down into the small problems that form the sum of the whole and resolve as many of those as possible.

See that's about all you guys have to offer in opposition.
The findings of scientist after scientist vs a cartoon that assassinates the messenger's character.

Swing batter swing! :p

The thread is about Al Bore and the so-called Peace Prize. He doesn't deserve it.

Albert's character was killed when he invented the internet.

He's a fat puffy multi-millionaire 'green' hypocrite.

As for the off-topic regurgitation of global warming (!):

Swing and a miss. :lol:

others disagree. he won it.

facts just aren't important to some people.

Agreed. We all get an opinion.

If you mean the fact he won the prize, of course he did. That fact is not in dispute.



How he won it, yes, and that he did is what baffles some people. It's hype and the popular media thing to do. Some people get sensitive when such actions are questioned. The scientists deserve it, sure. Not this clown. David Suzuki or David Attenborough would be far more deserving that Al the hypocrite.

But, he was still given a prize for peace. It's an insult to those that have won and did actually take steps to foster peace.

One could say, given the possible outcomes of wide spread global climate change not to mention the wars being fought over oil, that working towards global consensus on environmentalism and conservation IS in fact a large step towards world peace.

You could.

Could they also have given the guy the big prize for science?
