Gore wins Nobel...Follow

Despite the fact that he's merely a poster boy for the whole climate change thing, and doesn't REALLY understand the science behind it, I consider it a good decision to give him such an award. He's preached his cause to thousands (if not millions) and raise general public awareness on the topic more so than any other proponent of the climate change theory. All of this amidst having the presidency stolen by losing to the stupidest man in history Bush and facing public ridicule for silly mistakes and his passion for a cause misunderstood by so many.

I for one, congratulate him, and despise the media for twisting it into a some kind of warped political victory.

Not entirely, no. If you listen to him speak on the matter, he uses very vague terms and constantly references stuff like "My colleagues in XYZ field have told me ABC", then proceeds to generalize based on that second hand knowledge. I really love the famous line chart demonstration in which he uses a cherry picker type thing to raise himself to the very top of the right side of the graph to illustrate where we'll be in 50 years or w/e.

Gore cares, but he's the management side of the cause, not the technical side.

Oddly enough, we just watched his movie the other night.

He does mention people in other fields who are showing him the data, but I didn't hear him generalizing much. From what I heard, he was saying, "The professionals are telling me this is going to happen this way."

And it's a little scary. I hope that it's all been exaggerated, but even so, we seriously need to do something about the harm we're doing.

Congratulations Gore.

I just can't help but think how the last seven years would have looked with him as the President of the United States compared to how it now looks under the pooflinging hands of Monkey Boy. Then I spend the next fifteen minutes laughing at all the people who voted for the midget... twice! Granted, the first election was stolen, but that's still a gigantic amount of people.

Aaameeeeriiiicaaaaaaa...
FUck Yeah!

A baboon would have been a fairly significant improvement over W.

Apparently you're forgetting who we're talking about and how effective he was as V.P. during Clinton's terms. Baboon would be a few steps up on the evolution ladder for Gore.

Sorry, Sasquatch, you're wrong here.

Gore would've been a VAST improvement over Bush. Hands down.

VPs are never effective, and personally, I think clinton did a fantastic job as president. The economy was doing OK and foreign policy was strong, Domestic issues weren't exactly given the attention they needed, but nobody's perfect.

No, he doesn't have any degrees in Meteorology or other ******** and yes, he does speak in "vague" terms. Who exactly do you think he's talking to here? The public, you ninny ****. If he started spouting off at the mouth about scientific terms, 99% of the audience would be lost. And since 99% of the people responsible for the pollution are laymens, what other language should he speak?

Regardless if you think the man is a puke, he does raise awareness and I couldn't give a **** if he spoke to them in Swahili. Something needs to be done.

I'll add to this.

So let's think what we could have if Bush was never president. The No Child Left Behing act would have never hit the floor, don't forget a farely stable economy and possible NO WAR.
