Hardtalk with Al Gore & Dr Pachauri

[utopiandesign]

Climate change - toxic pollution - rising disease in both rates and severity - high cost of healthcare....what does it all mean? There's not enough money to save the world: not as long as those who hold the money continually allow for tens of hundreds of thousands of people to die needlessly every year. Until men of authority truly begin to take care of life's security the earth will fade away as a flower. And these men will never step down nor do the Christlike deed for mankind.

[timeweston]

Yeah, the 'most serious crisis' ain't maleria, it ain't AIDS, or poverty or starvation or political corruption, or sexual inequality, or riots,or Religious extremism...It's a 'possible' future rise in global temperatures of less than 1 degree in 100 years. Right Al? Sorry, but get a little perspective Mr Gore. Please.

[ravishingravi]

Extremely impressed with Gore, though not in complete agreement with him.

[greatleaper]

thousands of facts? lol

[Timurito1]

Al Gore is a lying scum.

[JoeyFudd]

@Timurito1 Al Gore has demonstrated via his own conduct that he is an arrogant selfish pompous bastard who relies on rhetoric and wild guesses to scare people into believing something he doesn't know himself. A dangerous vanity he has. Until we know natural cycles of warming, we can't subtract their influence from present data to get the man-made remainder. There may be no remainder after the subtraction. He guesses natural cycles are neutral and man causes everything now, despite the sun's role

[arneperschel]

@adiostraitorobama

The fact that scientists have disagreed in the past actually adds to the credibility of their current agreement. That's how science works: trying to get a better understanding of the natural world by disproving existant theories.

Yes, there has been research into the possibility of cooling by human emissions of aerosols. And as better data became available, the minority of scientists who believed the world would cool realized they had been mistaken: GHGs outweigh aerosols.

[arneperschel]

@adiostraitorobama

"rush...fake research"

If that would be the case, than 'they' have been incredible slow and ineffective.

Modern climate science has been going on for over 50 years. So that's a whole lot of 'fake research' there...

And so far, 'they' haven't come up with a lot of laws.

Unfortunately, it's quite the opposite: based on what we knew back in 1988, we could have acted but the efforts have been continually corrupted by fossil fuel lobbyists.

That's the only real conspiracy.

[Thisawareness]

Railroad Engineer and a flimflam man, whose divorce proceedings will bring to light more of the shady business deals made to cash in on this scam. I guess his wife got tired of being jeered and laughed at

She's going to distance herself from her fraud husband

[Thisawareness]

China overtakes US as world's biggest CO2 emitter

The surprising announcement will increase anxiety about China's growing role in driving man-made global warming and will pile pressure onto world politicians to agree a new global agreement on climate change that includes the booming Chinese economy. China's emissions had not been expected to overtake those from the US, formerly the world's biggest polluter, for several years

[aerobique]

the "gore haters" are also little corporate mind-controlled, menatally retards... i cant understand. Its all PR.

i listened to one speech and know that hes an awesome man

People lost their minds.

[Thisawareness]

@aerobique Yeah Gore's an "awesome man" setting up companies with the hated Corporations and bankers to cash in on this scam.

Gore also helped to create the #1 polluter China, by helping to create the WTO and allow US Corporations to relocate to China that have little to no environmental, human rights, or labor laws.

Thats awesome, but having a railroad engineer in charge of the IPCC is awesomer still

[aerobique]

@Thisawareness im no doctor, i cant help you

but i think youtube should care more about people/accounts.. like yours

there comes the robin hood up in me you awkward corporate shill pseudo "awareness" antiscience spammer

[Thisawareness]

@aerobique Keep telling yourself your bs is truth, you may begin to believe your own bs

Your not witty, funny or truthful

[mannefyr19]

al gore should be in jail reaching for a soap or somethin.

[Thisawareness]

@mannefyr19 Hopefully friend it still may happen as this fraud falls flat on its face as its currently doing

The AGW Cult is going to get more and more desperate and angry as it and they are exposed as frauds and idiots like this Aerobique "progressive" retard

[Thisawareness]

Global Warming is a pseudo-science like they had in the Soviet Union

The head of the Global warming Cult is a flake

The chief quack of the quacks at the IPCC is a railroad conductor

The head of the CUEI is an economist with ties to the IMF

The GW magical cure does not address the #1 factor for environmental degradation, wildlife declines, & GHG production

Yeah Global Warming is a pseudo-science

1984 Choo Choo!

[aerobique]

@Thisawareness

get some facts, evil propaganda-spammer! people like you are a shame, and a threat to the world!

climate. nasa . gov / evidence

There is NOT A SINGLE min.respected scientific body on this planet who agrees with the oil trolls/ so called "sceptics". SHAME

[miserkocho]

gore predicts temperatures in the u.s will rise substantially from june through to september.scary!!

[cazyblood3]

HAARP WEATHER CONTROL could be part of NWO DEPOPULATION PLAN

[besakamel]

If they want to kill of the human population on earth why don't they start by ending their own lies?

Oh no, they got to stay here until the job is finished, you see, when we are all dead then finally they will kill themselves, so they say.

It sounds like they may be trying to trick us, eh?

[cano21]

Gore, what a fucking crook you turned out to be.

[globalnomad62]

I imagine Gore is laying pretty low right now, poor fellas world is crumbling around him and he doesnt seem to have the fight in him to come out and fight but then he never did

Hes already begun feeling the heat (and its not from any climate warming) in the form of increasingly vocal protests everytime he appears. Sure to get worse as the depth of Climategate sinks in.

Gives new meaning to hide the decline

If you were to plot the attendance on a graph would it be an inverted hockey stick?

[Conan568]

If there's any justice left in this world, both of these con-men will end up as someone's bitch in a prison.

Squeal like a Pig.

[digitalfilmvillage]

Gore is such a great liar! How could he live with himself?

[aerobique]

@digitalfilmvillage

why is he a liar?!?! because your a stupid sheep?

[digitalfilmvillage]

Global warming hoax had been debunked.

[FloxByTe]

Climatechange by CO2 is a LIE! Look to that waht you've learned inna school about CO2! Vegetables need CO2! CO2 is bigger than O2 an cause of that it falls to earth -> to the Vegetables! CO2 is only about 0.038 % inna air! Less then 0.038 CO2 inna air a from humans! The Climatechange is caused by the Sun! ... and so on, clearly facts about a funny thing ... Climate is colder than the past! Look to Climagte emails! Look to alternative news, like the A llex J ones Show!

[aerobique]

Good Man, Al Gore ROCKS

[SuperSuperfan]

Al gore sounds like a huge asshole. I love Steven, he really knows how to grill guys, from every side of the political spectrum.

[aikidlc]

Here we have two main apostle of Hypocrisis arrogance. The combination of a snaky poltcian and a ass hall scientist. Two heavy lyers autofinance by their lyes. More they lye more they will make money on it... and huge money... on the head of the poorest! What a picture to see side to side the two colomns of all this stincking temple of propaganda! LET'S GET THOSE TWO LYERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE OF HONEST SCIENCE AND POLITIC!

[lukasz855]

they r talking shit, in "dark ages" temp was 4-5 above temp in our times

look at hardtalk with Vaclav Klaus

[slooob23]

Good grief, Gore is full of crap, you can tell he's talking bollocks.

The IPCC is just a joke.

[anksphenomenon]

and u are the biggest brain mankind has ever had?

[slooob23]

Gore is a proven liar, "an inconvienient truth" is full of scientific error and outright lies, go do your home work. The guy is a crook.

[12padre]

Thank you Mr. Gore.

I am always amazed by how many dumb people refuse to be educated by science, not opinion, on this important issue. Then again, they elected GWB 2 times... Stupid hurts!!!

[Nightversionn]

Thank you Al Gore for getting climate change the attention it needs. And now the world is listening and hopefully doing what it needs to do.

Thank you for your relentless work!

[vadyxxx]

Gore is the biggest liar in the world.

[MazeMurdersOfHeaven]

Al Gore and co. are making lots of money.0.3 % climate change is man made.Stop the guilt trip!

[nagpaltanuj]

Even, EVEN if the people concerned have exaggerated the problem, which i doubt they have, it would be the best and the most appropriate time to look into this problem, analyse and find a solution to it. If we don't do something about it, i'm afraid what has been an allegation of exaggeration may become an 'Inconvenient Truth' in the near future. High time to act!

[Merany1]

We need to get back to reality.

Science has not been dragged down this low since the 1930´s with the psuedo-science Eugenics.

The "dumbing down" of climatology is a scandle and it discredits the scientific world.

[Visinth]

@Merany1 Well, don't worry, this can hardly be called science. It's a religion if anything. In science there is no absolute truth, not the only one way right. Everything that marks itself as no debate or absolute truth is a belief. Science on the other hand operates with hypothesis, that needs to be proven. And even then is not absolute. Everyone who can actually read can see for himself on wikipedia / science -> certainty of science.

[Visinth]

What a dick. Sceptics are paid by large corporations? And who pays greenpiss and other environmental organizations? The biggest doners are "their enemies". And when the comentator pointed Pachauri as a scientist, now that was funny. IPCC is not scientific but political. All real scientists already left it. This is all about money, not environment, nor Planet nor people. And the goal was met, we have a new tax, Carbon tax. Who profits the most? The guy sitting next to Al Gore.

[knightschwartz]

@Merany1 "eugenics". you mean the idea that certain traits can be multiplied in a race more than others and that having smart productive ppl have more kids than morons betters the rac. that view is a "low point" for science?

[Merany1]

Al Gore continues to play mind games by claiming that there is a consensus.

Tell that to the VICE CHAIRMAN of the IPCC, Yuri A Izrael,who has said the there is no scientific evidence to prove that AGW is happening and that there are no catastophies around the corner.

[Merany1]

The presenter here does not ask any difficult questions.

If the questions asked here are considered difficult then this shows the lack of scientific knowledge of climatology.

Neither Al Gore nor Rajendra Pachauri are capable of a scientific debate on AGW as neither are educated in the area of atmospheric or climatology.

Al Gore is a politician and Rajendra Pachauri is an economist/engineer who has a career in the energy industry.

[Danebrogen]

Yes, hardly difficult questions.

We now know with certainty co2 has very little effect on the climate

[Merany1]

The vice chairman of the IPCC,Yuri A Izrael,has said that "climate change is obvious,but science has not yet been able to identify the causes of it,"and,"there is no proven link between human activity and global warming." Yuri A Izrael has also said "I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified.There is no serious threat to the climate."Also, "There is no scientifically sound evidence of the negative processes that allegedly begin to take place at such temperatures",meaning 0.6.

[sony250e]

Yuri A Izrael was chairman of the State Committee on Hydrometeorology (Goskomgidromet) at the time of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Following the accident he was widely criticized for slow and inaccurate monitoring. He was also criticized for allowing air pollution throughout the USSR to reach unprecedented levels.[10] In a 2004 article published in Nature, Quirin Schiermeier and Bryon MacWilliams referred to him as a "fossil communist fighting for fossil fuel."

[Merany1]

My point with Yuri A Izrael was that Al Gore can continue to say there is a consensus, but that is simply not true.

[BiteMeVisa]

always think of the agenda..."Global Warming" is more a political ideology. Al Gore has made money off this, science has made money off this...I think we're all so fucked up that we don't know who to believe about what.

[xneo19]

He's rich enough as he is. He didn't make a penny off the movie or book. It was all donated.

[davetileguy]

its about power than comes money! the sky is falling!! so give the politicians your money (tax) and they will take care of you,they have a great track record!!

[adamlevak]

Al Gore is 100% correct. Why is everyone bagging him out? Is this the current administrations way of discrediting him. By only allowing bad responses to be posted for the world to see?

[drziltox]

As usual, Stephen Sackur of BBCNEWS does a great job with this interview, asking compelling confrontational questions in an undeniable intelligent manner that puts his guests on the spotlight to tell a truthful answer.

[Apenes]

Al Gore is such a douchebag. He doesn't even want to answer Bjørn Lomborg, he just says "he's stupid" since he can't admit he got a point.

[Oxa1]

whether its gloal warming or a pole shift I think this cause will strengthen the relations between many countries and push the technology forward...

[Globe85]

It is a Pole shift. It's difficult to understand this becaus we can not do shit about it. But I tell you the last thing you are gonna hear about global warming is that it's not global warming.

[PedroForElPresidente]

Straight talk - important that Gore called them on the game they play...

[Conniepae]

Al Gore did exactly what needs to be done, challenge the spin. The earth is not flat even if one person thinks it is. Stop them from spinning fact and spin as equal. What a candidate he would make! Truth to power, with no spin, just facts!

[plomovideo]

hah! I love the end.

[zk0]

Al Gore bitchslaps Stephen Sackur. :D

[iiopen]

During the past 50 years, the sum of solar and volcanic forcings would likely have produced cooling. Observed patterns of warming and their changes are simulated only by models that include anthropogenic forcings.

-- IPCC

[americanhindi]

Al Gore. Man of the century.

[zoinkzeuber]

LOL... Gore is glofefied by the media. He present his stuff like Man-made-global-warming is a fact... Well, it is not. Not even the IPCC says that their shure that man has coust climate changes. They say there are 90 % chance that man has made global warming, while there are 10 % chance that this are natural changes. And this is comming from the IPCC!!! Google -> Pictures -> "Gloabal warming + sun activity". Take a look

[iiopen]

The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. Accumulating data from across the globe reveal a wide array of effects: rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, increases in extreme weather, rising sea level, shifts in species ranges, and more. The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years.
