#1 America's doomed if it can't find the majority will to throw snake oil salesmen like the goracle out of the country.

#2 The Jimmy Carter wannabee waiting in the wings to assume the title upon his predecessor's passing. Well, he's done that gig before.

#4 Whats sad?

The whole carbon thing is falling apart - its an after effect not a cause, of warming.

Warming, for the most part, stopped in 2001. And just like the scientific evidence shows, CO2 increases AFTER the warming trend.

IT IS NOT CAUSATIVE.

Get that through your thick green skull.

As for drilling had we not sat on our hands thanks to you and other environuts and wimps (GHW Bush) 10 and 20 years ago, we'd ALREADY have the oil flowing from those areas.

Dill HERE, Drill NOW.

#6 I thought Gore said in the 90's we only had 10 years left...now that 10 years has gone by, and more, why in the world does he think anyone would believe him now?

To me, Al Gore is the same as Ted Danson, shrilly screeching about his pet project while doing the exact opposite of what he claims that we must do.

Al Gore to me is a Traitor. He's owned by the Chinese, he's a proven liar, and deserves no more attention or time than any other crackpot.

#7 They've always gone about this wrong. They push the wrong kinda green. If you tell me, "Oh, because you drive your car to work, the polar bears are gonna DIE!", I'm gonna say, "so what?". The only time most people see polar bears is at the zoo or when they're about to gun one down because he wandered in a garbage dump in East Muckluck, Canada looking for a free lunch.
Now, if you tell me, "If you drive a hybrid car, you can tell the Arabs to drink their oil, and maybe save a few bucks.", that I'll listen to. Don't tell me about globalwarmingclimatechange and the melting ice caps. It's still cold here in the winter and hot in the summer like it always is and Boston is still not under water. Don't tell me I'm gonna have to spend money to solve a problem that I personally have never seen any evidence of.
Another beef. The point people who propose these vast changes in my lifestyle really seem to have serious issues walking the walk. How'd ya get to DC yesterday, Al? Horse and buggy?

#9 Wait, are you saying if the earth warms up, all the demonrat cities will be underwater and all the demonrats drown?

Hey....maybe we should look into this global warming thing and making it real.:p

#10 Funny video. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Talk about sheeple...

#11 As stupid as they are, we do owe the Church of the Immaculate Global Warming our thanks for their help in bringing back nuclear power. Thank you. Now go away.

#12 Two commenters have already concisely captured my sentiments:
Al Gore is an idiot.
You first, Al.

#14 we had Greenpeace volunteers in front of our office building yesterday - looking to sign up members (and donors, of course). Guy asked me if I wanted to save teh planet. I said (loudly):"Pave the planet? What kind of sick f*ck are you? I'm a civil engineer and build roads and bridges, but even I don't wanna pave the planet. You suck! Assh*le"

the look on his face as I walked away was priceless

#15 Good for you, Frank. These jerks need an upfront lesson in the kind of contempt any person with two neurons to join feels for them.

#16 More and more, Al Gore reminds me of Invader Zim, or Dib Membrane. I'm not sure which.

#17 Gore has also advocated for governments to tax the emission of carbon dioxide.

Great. Now it's gonna cost me to light my farts.

Pave the planet? What kind of sick f*ck are you? I'm a civil engineer and build roads and bridges, but even I don't wanna pave the planet. You suck! Assh*le"

I am so stealing that line. Thanks, Frank G!

#18 Gore would have been much more convincing if he had said "Blah blah blah global warming blah blah polar bears blah blah ... and build a bunch of nuclear plants and tell the Saudis to FOAD".

I could get behind something like that!

#19 I had a similar experience, Frank G. When asked to join I said, "Aren't yall the ones who want to shave the whales?"

#24 gotta have some, I read that his already exorbitant domisile energy costs were up 10% this year, even with his "savings measures" implemented. Hypocrite, Liar, Fraud, Loser

#25 "I don't remember a time in our country when so many things seemed to be going so wrong simultaneously"

This more than anything shows how delusional this man is. Never have so many been so healthy, wealthy and prosperous compared to all the previous millennia of human history.
