Al Gore. What an effing Rahm Emanuel.

[Doomonyou]

The Goron needs to quit his medical marijuana.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I like to think of his acolytes as ‘Gorethers.’

Al Gore sticks to his guns, says 'climate crisis is unfolding before our eyes'

More like UNRAVELING!

There is a difference.

Climate is what you expect.

Weather is what you get.

Somebody ought to tell Al that there is magical clothing out there that will protect him from global warming...

[sodpoodle]

He needs to be hauled up before Congress and grilled relentlessly. Like Tony Blair in the UK.

Was Gore responsible for writing and passing any specific GW legislation that can be directly linked to his money making scams?

Research?

You know I heard some tree-hugging babe say something to the effect that there is a difference between weather and climate...HUH??? I had to take an aspirin after that for the headache I had trying to figure that pearl of wisdom out...Incredible...

It's quite simple, actually. While cold winters (i.e. weather) are no proof that global warming isn't happening, a hot summer day (i.e climate) is undeniable proof that it is.

There are none so blind as those who will not admit the truth.

I did not realize the goron was in such a bad plight. Since he is, I’ll offer up this clue for him free of charge:

I have never faced any of those three things; I believe one large factor in that condition is my never having any desire to control other people. Especially while using lies, promulgated by liars whose only skill is lying, to gain that control.

[FrdmLvr]

Not only did he get in because of daddy, he got out of Nam because of daddy. CCR's "Fortunate Son" was written about HIM!

..."I ain't no Senator's son"......

[Daveinyork]

The only thing unfolding before my eyes is another snowstorm - the third or fourth in two weeks.

[Bitsy]

If I was facing utter and total global public disgrace and humiliation, lawsuits AND a possible prision term I might be inclined to LIE like my life depended on it.

He should be used to disgrace and humiliation by now. And snow in 49 states the other day shouldn’t add to that /s

[hstacey]

Please explain..

[MsLady]

And moron is thy middle name.

[stylin_geek]

If I lived close to where Al Gore posted this non-sense, I’d be stocking up on warm clothing, fuel and food.

Seems like the last few times Gore has spoken up about global warming, wherever he was at the time got slammed with record cold and snow.

March 22, 2007 Al Gore testifies before Congress

This was hardly the first time Gore tried to motivate Congress to respond to global warming. He first held a hearing on the topic more than 25 years ago, not long after he started in the House of Representatives. At that time, he served with another young idealist, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA). Markey told Gore he was ahead of his time on climate change and other issues.

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) promised to put the Senate Environment committee to work on many of the initiatives Gore advocates.

[Bitsy]

there is a difference between weather and climate...
A Harvard or Berkley grad? Hard to tel these days.

“He is a prime example of why I really don’t hold Ivy League schools in very high regard, and I firmly believe the Country would be in much better shape if their alumni weren’t sprinkled throughout government. “

You are so right. They most decidedly do not deserve to be held in high regard.
