Comments on: Could Nobel Prize Spur Gore To Run In '08?

Grassroots Groups Urging Former Vice President To Enter Presidential Race

[emsaund1]

Listen dummies, Giuliani is your man in 08''. There''s no stopping him.

[frb01]

He really wavered when running in 2000, they ought to run that 60 minutes piece. We would all like choices but between Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Guiliani, Thompson, McCain, and Romney I think I could find a good choice. Plus we lost the likes of Bayh and Hagel before they got a chance. We don''t need Al Gore, his time has passed.

[pepperp1]

dont care if you dont care what I care GLOSSY. Your opinion is not relevant to me. All I see is people like you giving the Republicans once again a great chance at defeating another Democrat.

That will not happen Hillary could walk naked into the Senate tomorrow and America would not elect a Republican the party is corrupt to the core rancid with fringe groups that are repulsive and anti American.


The reason no one listen to Repugs is because they lie and lack competency in governing. Looked at a Tax revenue distribution lately it is the Blue States paying for the Red States wonder why, they are either incapable or inept at managing a State or they are ripping off the treasury my guess a mixture of both. If they ran people out of town on rail cars Bush and Cheney would be leaving Washington with rail assistance. The Repugs have no credibility and no trust from the American People.

GORE BLOWS!!!!

[glossypan]

cal...My goal, one I work very hard to achieve, is to have a good president. We need Gore to continue his great work helping unify the people of this planet to save it. I will probably not lose a lot of sleep because you find my decisions unintelligent.

[mcvet]

Hey, californiar (the "r" no doubt stands for Republican): your refusal to deny the accusation that Gore is a war criminal drives home the point that he is one. When did I ever say global warming wasn''''t man made? You can''''t tell me because it didn''''t happen. Jealous of a war criminal? There''''s professional help available. Get some.

This from a Nazi bootlicker who told us George W. Bush would be a good President. ROFLMAO Hardly someone who should be commenting on a REAL leader like Gore. Sieg Heil Bush!!

[glossypan]

californiar...Clinton is my least favorite Democratic candidate. I do not think she will be nominated, remember Howard Dean''s polls last election cycle at this time? If she is nominated, I think she will win. The Republicans best and brightest are sitting out this election to let voter antipathy with Bush die down. The bar is now so low, almost any new president, even a Republican, will be viewed as great.

My reason for wanting Gore to continue what he is doing, and I think he will agree, is that his work is too important to leave. He can do more good where he is now than as US president.

With eight excellent Democratic candidates already vying for the nomination, America is better served with Gore continuing his important work as a private citizen.

[hanginchad2]

So one of the biggest promoters of the bombing and strafing of civilians in Serbia and Kosovo is now going to get a peace prize, and so-called "progressives" are okay with that? How wonderful. Anyone who wants to know the truth about Gore needs to read "Al Gore: A User''s Manual" by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair.

I thought as a tribute to him I would post that environment article I know he won''t run but I wish he would so enjoy part I couldn''t do it all too long.

He said newly invented ice penetrating radar showed that the melt water was pouring through to the bottom of the glacier creating a melt water lake 500 metres deep causing the glacier "to float on land. "These melt water rivers are lubricating the glacier, like applying oil to a surface and causing it to slide into the sea. It is causing a massive acceleration which could be catastrophic."

[starleo146]

cont page3
Robert Correll, chairman of the Artic Climate Impact Assessment, from Washington told me:"We have seen a massive acceleration of the speed with which these glaciers are moving into the sea. The ice is moving at 2 metres an hour on a front five kilometres long and 1,500 metres deep. "That means that this one glacier puts enough fresh water into the sea in one day to provide drinking water for a city the size New York or London for a year."

Professor Correll, who is also director of the global change programme at the Heinz Centre in Washington said the estimates of sea level rise in the IPCC report in February had been "conservative" and based on data two years old. The range of rise this century had been predicted to be 20 to 60 centimetres, but would be the upper end of this range at a minimum and some now believed it could be two metres. This would have catastrophic effects for European and US coastlines.

cont-page2ome of these moulins in Greenland are so big that they run on the scale of Niagra Falls. The scientists who accompanied these journalists on the trip were almost as alarmed. That is pretty significant because they are world experts on ice and Greenland in particular. We were visiting Ilulissat, Greenland, once a stronghold of Innuit hunters but now with so little ice that the dog sleds are in danger of falling through even in the depth of winter. But it is not the lack of sea ice that worries scientists and should be of serious concern to the inhabitants of coastal zones across the world. Cities like New York and states like Florida are in the front line.

Scientists know this already, but just to give you some idea of the problem, the Greenland ice cap is melting at such a fast rate it is triggering earthquakes as pieces of ice several cubic kilometres in size break up.

It is hard to shock journalists and at the same time leave them in awe of the power of nature. A group returning from a helicopter trip flying over, then landing on, the Greenland ice cap at the time of maximum ice melt last month were shaken. One shrugged and said:"It is too late already."

What they were all talking about was the moulins, not one moulin but hundreds, possibly thousands. "Moulin" is a word I had only just become familiar with. It is the name for a giant hole in a glacier through which millions of gallons of melt water cascade through to the rock below. The water has the effect of lubricating the glaciers so they move at three times the rate that they did previously.

Cali, thanks for the discussion. Good luck with your potential candidate. Don

[donbl1]

I saw the video and it was not on SNL.

[donbl1]

Al did not create the internet and he did not create the storm for Global Warming.

He saw an opportunity. Might have been politically motivated. If he runs, we will know. If he refuses to run and takes a cabinet job to help fight Global Warming then he is a servant of humanity and to be thanked.

I do not have a good candidate right now. Might be a tough year for me to vote.

The clock is ticking.

Al may have done some things but he appears dangerous to me because of the personal glory he savors from any of his efforts. I like them a little more humble and focused on America First.

[donbl1]

Cali, denial is not a healthy trait. Al may be a man with a good cause (global warming) but it is not the universal trump card in the political game of bridge.......(or spades if you are younger)

Go look up filing requirements for Florida.
