Gore Used Fictional Video to Illustrate ‘Inconvenient Truth’

[Riverside Rob]

Phread,
Money is fine! Al is nowhere near the level of philanthropy of Gates and Buffett.
He feels his gift to the world is his message.
I suppose his Gulfstream 4 runs on fryer oil too.
Please don't ever call me a dittohead. The mans super bloated ego make me vomit.

My kinda oilman with a message is T.Boone Pickins.

If owning a house that uses more energy in one month than the average American home does in a year make him responsible then I have a lot of catching up to do to be responsible. Perhaps I could remove all the energy efficient features from my home and run the A/C non stop and then would you approve of my responsible actions to help stop global warming?
As far as attacking the messenger goes that comes from both parties. We can't have a real debate because it always breaks down into personal attacks. I could care less if somebody slept with someone els or where their money came from. What I want to know is are the numbers and facts they are providing accurate. Of course a person's character has a lot to do with whether or not you can accept the facts they provide. The fact that Algore has made over 100 million the past several years from hawking global warming and his investments in these companies that are engaged in this battle makes him highly suspect. If President Bush can be attacked for every decision he makes about oil due to his ties to the oil industry then the same can be said for Al Gore. I mean really think about how brilliant Al Gore is. He has gotten people to donate millions to him to advertise and promote global warming while being invested in the industry and making millions from it. Not only has he obtained advertising for his businesses but he has gotten other people to pay for it. For that I do give him great credit. He is very crafty that one. Better watch out Mr. Gates and Buffet, there is a new millionaire on the block heading your way fast.

Always good to hear from the dittoheads that don't even try and disguise the fact that they let an overweight pillhead do all their thinking for them.

It’s funny to listen to the right wingers lambaste Gore for being invested in renewable energies and claim that taints his dedication to combating global warming. Then again, if he weren’t invested in renewable energies and earth-friendly corporations, the right wing attack puppies would lambaste him for not being committed to the cause, wouldn’t they? That’s why people with lower IQs are social conservatives; anyone more intelligent than an autistic cow would be unable to ignore the huge gaps in logic required to resolutely adhere to such flawed thinking.

Were you aware that the Gore home and its surrounding properties are part of a program that derives one hundred percent of the electricity used from renewable sources? Of course you weren't. Your semi-retarded doughboy must have skipped over that fact in his last attack piece and we certainly wouldn't want the fat but faithful to do any reading on their own. I mean, if Rush encouraged his audience to read, they'd become too smart to listen to him anymore.

By the way, who are the corporate sponsors of your hero's radio show? None that have a vested interest in denying global warming or man's affect on the climate I'm certain...

My mistake. I thought Pilleating Doughboy was the only person still using the "I invented the internet" myth these days.

I can't decide which one is worse and more of a phony. Rush,Hannity or O'whiney!
On the left I cant see why anyone listens to anything Steisand,O'donnel or that god awful
Jeanine Garafalo.
I threw in the "invented" this in that post cause i knew it would get the ol blood moving.
My brother and i argued that one last year.
I checked it out because despite what i feel about him i diddnt think he was truly that stupid and he wasnt.

[Riverside Rob]

Out of the 6 i named.
Only Hannity has a college degree,maybe O reilly.
Strisand is a high school dropout.

Did ya see Bob Redferd curing global warming with his poetry? Too funny.

Come one you mentally deficient reject. Because he gets renewable energy he can squander all he wants. Are you kidding me? If he wasn't squandering so much energy then perhaps more homes could use the renewable energy sources. You are typical pathetic example of the hypocritical left. You criticize everything the right does and your hands are even dirtier. What a pathetic joke. Actually I learned about Al Gore's energy consumption from a more liberal source.

Curious why you think some of the people you listed are phonies? I think O'Reilly can be a jerk but Hannity is a pretty decent guy, although he goes a little overboard from time to time. Of course Rush is Rush, you either love him or hate him.

Of course on the left O'Donnell is certifiably insane. Streisand isn't very bright, and to be honest I have only heard very little from Garafolo, but she never struck me as particularly well spoken either.

OK, Gore may be a butthead for using the faked shots from a movie, but you cannot deny these two articles.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080718/...
polar bear clinging to a melting iceberg may the poster child for global warming, but rising temperatures, pollution and other human activity are also affecting the animal kingdom in far subtler ways. Like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, the natural world could be giving us other signs that human intervention has knocked it way off kilter.
Some recent examples:
1. Earlier Migration: Several bird species are making their annual northward jaunt slightly ahead of schedule in recent springs, as the East Coast of the United States heats up, according to a study detailed in the June issue of the journal Global Change Biology. The report confirms similar studies dating back to 2006. Early birds may not sound like a huge deal, but scientists warn that long-distance migrators who start out in South America, and therefore lack cues about the timing of spring in Northern Hemisphere destinations, will be less able to keep pace with the changing climate. "Trees and shrubs are further along in their development, and different groups of insects are out," said lead author Abraham Miller-Rushing of Boston University. "Spring is coming earlier for most other plants and animals, but not for the long-distance migratory birds. Thus, these long-distance migrant birds may need to learn to eat different sources of food or face other challenges because of the changes in timing."
2: Jellyfish Rule: An outbreak of jellyfish in oceans across the planet has resulted from the stinging creatures hitching rides on ships that circumnavigate the globe. In fact, studies suggest that almost a quarter of all marine species in international harbors are alien transplants, thanks to human-assisted dispersal.
3: Food Web Contaminated. Scientists said last month that they found toxic pollutants in nine deep-sea species of cephalopods, a class of mollusks that includes octopuses, squid, cuttlefish and nautiluses. Among the contaminants were at least two banned in the United States in the 1970s: dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroeth ane (DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Scientists say it's further evidence that contaminants make their way deep into the marine food web.

4. Heading for the Hills: Thirty species of reptiles and amphibians have fled uphill to cooler climes as global warming has caused the mercury to rise. We could see a rash of extinctions occurring between 2050 and 2100, scientists say, because higher ground will eventually run out.
5. Penguins in Peril: A rapid population decline among penguins because, in addition to a warming planet, they face the triple whammy of oil pollution, depletion of fisheries and aggressive coastline development. "Penguins are among those species that show us that we are making fundamental changes to our world," said Dee Boersma, a University of Washington biology professor who has studied the flightless birds for more than 25 years. "The fate of all species is to go extinct, but there are some species that go extinct before their time and we are facing that possibility with some penguins.
6. Sea-Life Shift: Scientists see a notable shift in the composition of coastal marine animal communities, caused in part by changing ocean temperatures, from vertebrates (fish) to invertebrates (lobsters, squid, and crabs), as well as from bottom-feeders to species that feed higher in the water column. Meanwhile, warm-water species have superseded larger, cool-water species in population size.
7. Migrating Parasite: The parasite Angiostronglyus vasorum, commonly known as "French heartworm," is migrating northward because of rising temperatures. Normally found in southwestern England, the parasite has been detected in dogs admitted to animal hospitals in Scotland. Climbing temperatures in the country have also resulted in a sudden proliferation of slugs and snails.
8. Food Shortages: Plant-loving animals in extremely seasonal environments such as the Arctic struggle to feed themselves because global warming causes their food supply to peak in availability before they can reach breeding grounds. "Think of it like this," said Eric Post, a biologist at Penn State. "You've been out on the town with friends, and on the way home you want to stop off for a bite to eat, but the restaurant you've always gone to has closed early. So you try for one around the corner that's always open a little longer. But when you get to that one, it too is closed. For herbivores, the fact that there are several 'restaurants'- their food patches - dispersed across the landscape isn't useful if they all begin closing at the same time in addition to closing earlier in the season."

Claims are floating around the blogosphere that the American Physical Society, the leading professional organization for physicists, has reversed its position on global warming.

But on its Web site, the APS has reaffirmed that it supports the consensus view that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet.

Part of the statement the society adopted on Nov. 18, 2007, states: "Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate."

Stories of the supposed policy reversal began popping up after an article by Christopher Monckton, a politician and a former policy advisor in Margaret Thatcher's administration, submitted an article in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society. The article claimed that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had overestimated the Earth's climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide (or how much the global average temperature will change given a certain amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere).

In the article, Monckton, the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, also claims that changes in solar activity are behind the warming trend of the past few decades, an idea that has been refuted by several climate scientists.

A note in red lettering above the article states that it has not been peer-reviewed and that "its conclusions are in disagreement with the overwhelming opinion of the world scientific community. The Council of the American Physical Society disagrees with this article's conclusions."

On their homepage, the APS has now placed a statement that reaffirms its 2007 position statement on global warming, which also states, "The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring." It adds that mitigation efforts must be taken immediately

Yes. Because he uses renewable energy, he can use as much as he wants. Renewable energy sources are carbon neutral. If the state of Tennessee runs out of electricity, then you'll have a valid point about Gore using more than his fair share. But until that point, you're grasping at straws, as is normally the case when far right parrots like yourself get called on their lies and misrepresentations.

It's good to know that you got your purposefully misleading information from a source more liberal than the Pillpopping Doughboy. Who was it? Jesse Helms? Oh, wait, God finally killed that bastard. Or what is the term those hypocritical "Christians" use when one of them finally sheds their mortal shell and goes to burn in a lake of fire for all eternity for the lies and thievery of their hollow lives? Oh yeah...God "called him home..." to hell.

What a brain dead liberal twit you are. Now since he is allegedly using renewable energy he can use all he wants. Since you have advised us of this use please do tell which form of renewable energy does he use? He claims to buy solar and wind energy but from what I have been able to research on Tennessee power production, they don't have any of these resources near him. In fact the most recent statistics I could find shows that only 13.5 % of Tennessee energy production is from renewable sources and most of that is hydroelectric(12.6%).

A real conservationist would conserve even renewable energy. Every amount of renewable energy he does NOT consume allows the utilities to cut back on the production of electricity from non renewable sources. The energy produced from renewable sources could power hundreds of average homes cutting the demand for non-renewable energy but instead it powers algore.

I know when you become a liberal you must give up all rational though, but a kindergartener can figure out that if algore uses less electricity then there is more for everybody else. Why is it ok for you liberals to be power hogs and live in 10,000 square foot mansions but if anyone else does it they are being greedy and using up everyone's resources. You as much as admit you give him a free pass because he thinks like you do on everything else. You have no character and no backbone.

"Gore participates in a utility program that sells blocks of "green power" for an extra $4 a month. Gore purchases 108 such blocks every month, covering 16,200 kilowatt-hours and helping subsidize renewable energy sources. "

You keep throwing out insults and calling people names for not agreeing with you.
You keep attacking individuals because you can't argue the actual points about global warming (without using easily refuted lies at least).
Could you BE any more of a right wing stereotype?

I said it before and I'll say it again. I could give a pair of rat's balls if you like Al Gore or not. I actually prefer that you don't like him because it's endlessly amusing to see people like you that don't know a single "fact" that they weren't spoonfed by ultra-conservative factually crippled talk radio as you pretend to be well informed.
This banter is working out perfectly for me so far. You're a joke. You keep typing and I'll keep laughing.
