Answer 1

No.  Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore.  I think as long as you people are fixated on Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, you will stay out of the hair of people doing the serious work, research and decision-making, so he (Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore) should actually get another prize for that.

Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore.

Answer 2

Hardly new information the story is from Feb 07 based on info from 06 and had been brought up ad nausea by denier ever since, talk about beating a dead horse.

Does this have any consequence to AGW, not a bit.

Answer 3

It's obvious what side of the fence you're on. The only reason you post old articles (he uses solar and buys clean energy) about him is to try and cast doubt on GW. The world has moved on and you should too.

Answer 4

He should give back the prize and stop being an attention hound.  The people that gave him the award are in the same club Uncle Al is.  Save 100 children from n**i death camps and so what.  But save a polar bear and you get the "peace prize."  

I have no problem with the wealthy using resources, if they can afford it, fine. A $1,300 gas bill is not my problem.  Just don't tell me that MY lifestyle is causing damage to the envronment.  And don't tell me that I should pay a "carbon offset = guilt tax" for driving to work, heating and cooling my home and perhaps breathing as well.

Answer 5

I didn't think Nobel awarded for works of fiction anyway... So he should have to give it back.

What a joke.

Answer 6

you forgot to mention all of the lies in his stupid movie to!!

Answer 7

I would much rather he just leave the US all together.  Let him move to the EU, where they have their head up his butt

That would make me happy.

Answer 8

Oh no, you know the drill...  As typical, liberal jargon runs along the lines of, 'do as I say, not as I do.'  See, they want all of these so-called fixes for energy, global warming, deforestation....  So long as someone else pays for it and someone else comes up with the solutions.  They are simply the nay-sayers and charged with putting everything and anyone down that has a good idea.  No, you will NEVER EVER find a liberal that will be responsible for anything...  See, even major decisions have to be made through taking a poll, so that they can pass the buck and avoid responsibility...

Answer 9

Hipocrite or not, he brought awareness to a serious issue. No, he shouldn't give it back.

Answer 10

Al Gore is nothing but a mouthpiece to the real issue of global warming and the adverse effects it will have on us. Personally, I wouldn't care if Jack the Ripper had been the one that brought it to the publics attention.  The science is clear and now the proper question is "how do we respond?", not "I don't like Al Gore or Jack the Ripper, so I'm going to attack the messenger".

Unless you think you can somehow "discredit" the following 200+ climate scientists (plus a whole lot more) from around the world, it's time you accept that it's real and we need to address it:

http://www.ccrc.unsw.edu.au/news/2007/Ba...

"Based on current scientific understanding, this requires that global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by at least 50% below their 1990 levels by the year 2050. In the long run, greenhouse gas concentrations need to be stabilised at a level well below 450 ppm (parts per million; measured in CO2-equivalent concentration). In order to stay below 2 ºC, global emissions must peak and decline in the next 10 to 15 years, so there is no time to lose."

Answer 11

I think he was busted before that, but they still chose him. Shame, though. There were other people who deserved it more than he did. What does climate change have to do with peace (even more so because it's a political agenda). I would very much love it if he would have to give back the Peace Prize, but it most likely wll not happen.

Answer 12

I think he ate Gary Coleman... does he look bloated to you? Now he's backing Obama Black Laden... a muslim (where's all this money coming from REALLY)?... a communist?... a moron?... Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll eat him too.

Answer 13

Yeah, in a perfect world.  But do you really think the idiots that awarded him that did it because of his objective and unbiased take on the subject?  Yeah right!  Agenda, agenda agenda.

Answer 14

I keep seeing this link but you puds continue to ignore this link:

So no Gore isn't a hypocrite and he earned the Nobel prize.

Why do you cons have such an issue with the truth?

Answer 15

"Personally, I wouldn't care if Jack the Ripper had been the one that brought it to the publics attention"

That would be odd.
