Why do I not believe that Al Gore’s primary motivation is to “save the planet”?
Globaloney
He invented the internet, anything he says must be true. /sarc
What exactly is L Ron Gore trying to achieve ? Lets say we agree that humans are the cause of global warming. What next ?
The author does seem hot for a Nina Burleigh award.
If a Democrat wins in 08, expect one of them to pander to Gore’s base by giving him a Cabinet position.
When does the Manbearpig book come out?
A new religion arises to compete with Scientology.
And Gore could not get Prigogine right to save his life.
Cheers!
I for one don’t want him to run for President because he could win and that would be a disaster. First of all, he would join Kyoto. Money down the drain for sure. Then we would have all these new environmental rules with taxes of course so that our country does not heat the globe which is ridiculous in itself. I wish that everyone would realize that the environment is cyclical. We would be better off.
That's a shocking thought! Could he be profiting from all this???!!!
That’s a long article. I’m thinking Traub daydreams about Gore. USSS should probably keep an eye on him.
What’s more pathetic than having the following discussion? Making sure to get it printed because telling people on the street doesn’t reach enough people. I get it! You two are intellecshuals.
“I told Gore that he seemed to be experiencing that pleasure-in-the-midst-of-work that the psychologist Csikszentmihalyi called “flow.”
“Is that how you pronounce it?” Gore said. “His first name is Mihaly. He also co-authored a cover story for Scientific American a few years ago on television,” and on and on. I told Gore that he was far more deeply versed in the work of Csikszentmihalyi than I was. He laughed so hard that he turned purple. “
The second sentence in a lengthy article brings up the Nobel Prize. It’s for chemistry not the jokey peace but I don’t think it’s coincidental that Al (and Al’s people) want the peace prize and here he is bringing up the topic of Nobel prize winners.
I’m all for it. What a great way to discredit both Al Gore and the peace prize.
“Gore was telling me about Ilya Prigogine, a Belgian chemist who won a Nobel Prize in 1977 for his insights into the thermodynamics of open systems, an intriguing subject that has very little to do with global warming.”
Ally all your fears. Even if he were President, Gore couldn't just "join" Kyoto. It's a treaty that has to be submitted to the Senate.
Of course, things change and there's always the chance that instead of the informal 97 - zip Kyoto got in the 90s the vote would reverse.
But again, Bush and his crew are adapting Kyoto piecemeal anyway, so what's the difference?

This guy could do so much damage to this country that by the time he’s finished, we’ll have CFLs sprouting out of our ears!
As I recall, the Senate voted 95-0 against even considering Kyoto.
