Gore, "I'll huff and I''ll puff, and I'll blow Global Warming all over you little lady!" Whats with all the huffing and sighing and chuckling by this weather fanatic?

"Dont you know that I am The great Al Gore--The Weather Oracle?" "How dare you question my $Millions little lady!"

Anyway, if he has a "non-profit" that he gives all of his weatherphobia $Millions to, he still pays himsellf a salary out of his "non-profit''. How much is that?

Blackburn rocks!

If you're going to make accusations or form an argument of any type, it requires evidence and sources, not just opinion. Credible sources too.

evidence?



[Tod Thompson]

Of course it's about Greed. Stop lying, Al. You give to charity at a rate of 0.2%. You are the stingiest politician in the world. Also your mansions and private jets leave a carbon footprint larger than Michael Moore's backside. If you believed in conservation and making your carbon footprint smaller you would do it, n'est-ce pas? This whole thing is a money making scam of yours.

Hey, it's the guy who won the 2000 presidential election, but graciously gave it up to lil' George W. Bush!

[David Brotman]

Notice she didn't at all question why there was a need to put a price on carbon or provide any contrary evidence that weakens or challenges the theory of anthropogenic climate change. This makes the right wing cons look more and more out of touch with reality. Too bad some of you keep wanting to stick your heads in the sand on this issue. It is not going away, with or without Al Gore.

Wow, I'm not sure which one of these people is more pathetic.

you'd think she would maybe do a bit of research before she asks these questions? anyone could have googled his relationship with the company in 30 seconds, and it could have prevented her from looking like an idiot
