[Sure he has done things that most of the people don't agree with, is that a sign of a strong leader, or a stupid man?]

Very interesting. Gore keeps on yapping on Global Warming. It getting old friends. Sorry.
Don't kid yourself. Gore is making millions of $$ on his global warming crusade. I am not saying that there is not a problem, but I remember putting some info
on his website about a substance called DECARBITE
which is manufactured by PW Perkins.com. This substance (like some C02) scrubbers will absorb
greenhouse emisions. Gore will not acknowledge
this because like most of the politicians they would rather write books, and put fear into the minds of people as well make millions of dollars as well as being on talk shows.
Because if he really did something about the problem, he and the other so called "ecologists"
would shoot themselves in the foot.
The problem is with the Politicians.....that run this country....obviously. Both Demos and Repubs
STINK.
millions of dollars to do nothing but Yap.

PART II - It doesn't sing or dance but Money Talks Gore: Leads "Assault On Reason" ?????

Scientists Renounce Global Warming Alarmism
from staff reports

Claims of 'consensus' not lining up with reality.

While the mainstream media continue the drumbeat about consensus among scientists on global warming alarmism, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., said some researchers who once bought into the hype have changed their minds.

Marc Morano, a spokesman for Inhofe, explained: %u201CWhat%u2019s happening is rank-and-file scientists are now openly rebelling from these governing boards and their statements, and that is where, essentially, the myth of this whole thing of consensus comes out.%u201D

Ian Clark, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Ottawa, he changed his mind after doing his own research. He said he found carbon dioxide %u2013 the greenhouse gas most commonly associated with climate change %u2013 was a "very minor player."

"If we increase the concentration of a very minor player," he said, "then we must anticipate a very minor effect.%u201D

Stuart Shepard, a meteorologist, said the claims of consensus are part of a liberal political stratagem.

%u201CIf they can convince people that global warming alarmism is real, then they feel that everyone will fall in line and agree with their agenda," he said. %u201CThis is not a scientific problem that found political support, this is about politicians who found a scientific issue they felt could leverage them into office.%u201D

Dan911,

Nice post.

I live in Ohio, we have had three ice ages here. Where I live use to have a glacier on top of it; if Gore was here back then, would he say that we have to keep everything just the way it is. Volcanos put out more green house gases in one day than man does in a year. The sun also has more to do with climate change than man does.

"How the Politics of Fear, Secrecy, and Blind Faith Subvert Wise Decision Making, Degrade Our Democracy, and Put Our Country and Our World in Peril."

I could imagine this subtitle would also describe the Democrats, not just the Republicans. What is global warming if not "fear, secrecy, and blind faith"? They are asking for money and power, peddling phony numbers that don't even add up, and saying "or else we'll lose our planet!" That's certainly not science, so it's a good subtitle for him too. Is Mr. Gore trying to tell us he is full of major BS?

Although he almost hits the nail on the head when he says political money is the problem. But it's time for Al Gore to criticize the real problem, and not ask for more money and power. That's Bush's job apparently.

realpatriot1,

Sorry, I just get tired of people going on about President Bush. Sure he has done things that most of the people don't agree with, is that a sign of a strong leader, or a stupid man? I don't know, I'm just trying to bring back a little respect for the office of President, if not the man. I am an Independent and I try to keep faith that no matter who is in the White House, they have the countries best interests at heart.

As for stolen votes, I live in Ohio, it seems like everytime there is an election, we go through this. If people are cheating, I am with you, put them in jail.

I have not decided who I will vote for, we still have a long way to go.

Case in point, Bush urges new climate goals, while his NASA appointee claims any ideas to cut greenhouse gases are "arrogant", Bush lobbies coal companies to ramp up production to offset crude oil, and he tries to work out a carbon credit deal with third world countries so he can keep us all addicted to gas.

Of course Gore is attacking the administration. The pitiful record of Bush & Co. is obvious. Well, obvious to anyone except the 28% fringe elements who still - in some sort of hallucinogenic haze I guess - think Bush doing a good job.

AJMarine1,

I'm not the one calling Bush stupid and as I said, I'm over 2000 & 2004, it's 2008 I'm concerned about.

I'll get over it when the voting process is protected and people who steal votes are prosecuted.

Realpatriot1,

"I never said that Bush invented the practice but the facts are clear that he stolen 2 national elections,"

I don't know how on one hand Bush is so stupid he can't tie his shoes and on the other he is so smart he can steal two elections and lie us into a war. Now he is going to set up to steal the 2008 elections.

Gore lost in 2000 and Kerry lost in 2004, get over it.
