Iis Al Gore smarter than a 5th grader?

Question

I don't think he is...

Answer 1

I'm willing to bet no. They should definitely put him on that game show.

Answer 2

He's certainly more educated.  But he is less intelligent, for sure.  Education does not mean intelligence.  I've met many educated people over the years who cannot make a wise decision by themselves.

By the time most people reach grade 5 they know that global warming is not happening.  But they'll say it is if it means they'll pass.  Smart!

Answer 3

I don't know about the average 5th grader, but I suspect most of them know global warming is real.  But before you go off assuming everyone that accepts global warming is somehow less intelligent than you, I'd suggest you look into the credentials and cumulative IQ of the individuals listed here:

They seem to agree with Mr. Gore, and I suspect they are probably quite a bit smarter than the average 5th grader and you.

Answer 4

Doesn't matter.  He has nothing to do with global warming science.  What he says or does has nothing to do with the undeniable reality of mostly man made global warming.

Answer 5

If you watch the show carefully, paying attention to the answers of the 5th graders, especially to the later questions that have a bigger payoff, you will see that they aren't that smart either. And when they don't even show the answers of the kids, I bet they all got it wrong.

Answer 6

Funny you should ask.

A 13 year old girl said, "Isn't selling carbon credits like selling air?"

Answer 7

i think he his and i say that because of that whole global warming scam thing that he promoted. What a bunch of c**p and he knows it too but he did it to get attention and to earn some money. So in a way he is smarter then a 5th grader but otherwise no and i still dont like him at all as a person.

Answer 8

i agree with the first answer

Answer 9

According to his SAT scores, his IQ is around 138 which is higher than 98% of people and good enough to get into Mensa. Hillary Clinton much the same, Bill Clinton scored even higher. Bush estimated IQ-124. John Kerry- 120.
