Should Al Gore be tried for spreading lies and harming the environment?

Question

Jim Hansen has called for the trial of oil execs because they spread flase theories of AGW. I would also say he says they should go on trial because they produce gas, etc.

So if Al Gore has shown to be spreading lies about AGW, should he not go on trial? And, should he not be called upon to pay for all the damage he is doing to the environment?

Additional lies he has claimed are true.

His private jet.

He recently purchased a 100' house boat.

I think the case is clear that Al Gore should be tried for lying and crimes against humanity. He has already been shown to have lies in his documentary by a court of law. In addition, his excessive use of energy is killing us all (according to him). He is using energy wastfully by using the private jet and the huge boat. Why is Jim Hansen not calling for his immediate arrest?

Answer 1

Al Gore has simply jumped on a bandwagon and is working to promote his business interests which benefit financially from global warming. He may genuinely believe what he says, you cannot trial someone for merely stating their own opinion even if they do have a conflict of interest.

If you suggest that Al gore be tried your no better than Jim Hansen targetting oil companies. Whats happened to freedom of speech? Jim Hansen is a would be dictator who thinks anyone who disagrees with him should be locked up, people like that should be the ones being tried for attacking peoples freedom and intimidation not Al Gore who is merely being a crafty business man protecting his own interests

Answer 2

I agree, but I also believe that there are many others on my list.

Nearly every politician, lawyer, judge, etc... should be held accountable for their actions.

The problem then becomes that there is not enough jail space, for everyone, so perhaps they should just be placed in front of a firing squad and be done with.

This would solve our over-population troubles, but if carried to its extreme, there would not be enough people left on this planet to continue (possibly not that bad of an idea after all).

I am very often sad to have to admit that I am a member of the Human Race.

This is not my fault, since I had no choice in the matter.

What I can say is that my animals have much more sense than most politicians, media press, so-called experts, etc..., the fact is that this is all an over-hyped hysteria designed venue to get more money!

If money was not involved in the equation, it would not exist.

I do believe that this should be dealt with, and someone should be made an example of.

Al Gore would be an excellent start, since he is not only a worthless waste of space, but he is an arrogant, self indulging, ignoramus.

Again, that seems to fit 99.9% of politicians, no matter what their political party is that they are affiliated with..

Answer 3

If Al Gore lied before congress or before a court of law he should be prosecuted for perjury.  Unfortunately we are much more concerned about Barry Bonds lying about steroid use than Al Gore lying about the impending doom of global warming.

Maybe James Hansen should be prosecuted for altering recent temperature records at GISS so the data matches his theory.

Answer 4

If they were just spouting their lies and Envirofundamentalist religious propaganda and seeing what sticks, that would be okay with me.

The problem is, they are trying to force everyone to adopt their religion.

In the US, there are serious separation of church and state issues at work, since they are trying to establish their religion as a part of the government mandate and policy.

Once again, it is simply the liberal baby boomers who feel they need to leave some kind of great legacy, being the greatest generation to ever grace the planet with their unique wisdom and needing to come to its rescue so that all generations for millions of years hence force will glory their very existence.  

They just cannot accept that they are no different than any other generation, no different than their parents, and that they, just like everyone else before them, has a finite lifespan and yes, in 30 or 40 years (if they are lucky) they will die like everyone else.

And when their legacy is one of planetary starvation, economic ruin, and global turmoil, they will simply shrug, say "We meant well," and take solace that, as they die, so does the rest of the world.

Their sole legacy is that they are just another one of the periodic self-centered egotistical and irresponsible generations that come along from time to time.  (That's right, they aren't even unique in that.  History is loaded with generations that thought like they did.)

But it's up to the younger generations to DO something about it... and sadly, most of them have been brainwashed and coddled into ignorant submission.

Sadly, the only time they will finally act and turn back all the damage that Al Gore and his generation have caused is when things are really truly fu***d!

But there is certainly hope.  The more I talk to my peers, the more of them are coming around.  They are starting to see what a scam the left is running, how many of them are hypocrites and actually lead the very lives they claim to champion against.  More of my friends are starting to say, "Hmmmm.  You know, all this time, you were right."  And they are doing the research for themselves and questioning things they are being told by politicians, and realizing that there's a perpetual brainwashing being perpetrated on them by the media.

But it's going to take a lot more time and a whole lot of work, from ALL of us, around the globe.

So keep sounding the drum beat.

Eventually, the rest of the people will wake up from their self-induced hypnosis.

Answer 5

Yes, absolutely.  Not just Al Gore though, but his 'planted agents' worldwide need to face the music too.  There's at least one in every country.  For example, here in Canada his name is David Suzuki.

It's time to do whatever it takes to teach people the truth, and throw these criminals in jail.

Answer 6

Despite his hypocrisy and using more than his fair share of resources, he has opened a blind eye to the detrimental impacts that we humans have caused to our environment.

A hypocrite he may be, but no one else is putting their careers and public image on the line as much as he is to promote awareness about global warming. While you may sit back and call him a hypocrite, he has gone out on a limb to do research and uncovered things that your government is trying to hide.

What amazes me more than anything is how heated Americans will get over the hypocrisy of Al Gore, yet ignore the fact that your government could have given Americans free healthcare in just six months if he would have ended his war. American soldiers don't even know what they're fighting for, yet risk their lives so George Bush can find oil.

That is the biggest hypocrisy of all.

I wonder if you guys know not to trust everything you read. Think about who owns the American news networks and who owns the newspapers...just by chance, do you think that you've ever been lied to? By chance, do you think your news is filtered so that your President is seen in a better light?

Answer 7

Al Gore should be ignored at laughed out of the room when he speaks.  I do not think he has the resources to compensate for the damage he has done so a trial would be a waste of time.  His lies and deceit should continue to be made public and he will eventually be ignored.

Answer 8

The main problem with trying the likes of Al Gore and his environmental sidekick David Suzuki, is trying to find an impartial jury.

I have always maintained that whenever more then one person is involved in a discussion then opposing views will be presented. This is very true of the existence or lack of existence in Global Warming.

For every person on earth who is open to discussions will inevitably choose a side to defend regardless of the topic thus would be the same in trying such a person as Al Gore.

He has gained a certain following of supporters in his attack on here say and with that in mind trying someone like him would inevitably be a waste of time and for that matter a whack of money.

If anything, we should do what we can to prove that he and his off the cuff ideas of a bogus situation is known to all that are willing to listen.

Besides the fact, he has money to burn, bilked from naive individuals looking for a cause to latch onto, and would be willing to defend himself either successfully or not in any court.

Answer 9

Yes! and also the Environmentalist groups too!

Answer 10

I think so.  He and his buddies (Daschle, etc.) are using government to impose 'carbon offset' costs on our economy so they can get rich. They are causing food shortages, driving up costs, destroying American businesses while driving them offshore to China.  Most of the Democrat elite are involved in this, even Obama.

Gore is the founder and director of Generation Investment Management Corporation, set up to receive those carbon offset payments.

Answer 11

HOW CAN HE BE LYING WHEN THE PROOF IS REAL AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?

Answer 12

Nope.  The links you post are biased nonsense.  Take the first (I don't have time for them all).  It cites a British court case.  But, the fact is Al Gore won the case, and the denier who sued him LOST.  The judge was full of praise for Gore's movie, and its' basic truths.  The guy posting the nonsense wouldn't dare give you a link to the full decision, I will.

"It is clear that the School Board understandably formed the view that An Inconvenient Truth was an outstanding film, and that schools should be enabled to show it to pupils."

"(1) global average temperatures have been rising significantly over the past half century and are likely to continue to rise (“climate change”);

(2) climate change is mainly attributable to man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide (“greenhouse gases”);

(3) climate change will, if unchecked, have significant adverse effects on the world and its populations; and

(4) there are measures which individuals and governments can take which will help to reduce climate change or mitigate its effects.”

These propositions, Mr Chamberlain submits (and I accept), are supported by a vast quantity of research published in peer-reviewed journals worldwide and by the great majority of the world’s climate scientists."

Actually what Gore deserves is the Nobel Prize.  Oh wait, they already gave it to him.

EDIT - The guy sued to stop the film being shown.  He lost.  The judge said the main points of the film (above) were correct, but that 9 minor points were unproven, not wrong.

Answer 13

hey bro cant hold a man aginst lies he is only making his millions but yes all cover up the real ? is why dont they let us have free power. did you know they have ways by magnet power .look and see 3000 hourse power in car no gas no oil.look up magent power dont stop raadblock.my rights are gone in mo. feloin .once a gun no can vote now by law were buy if i can moye to anouther stata then can ?

Answer 14

I completely agree.  He expects the ordinary American to ride a bicycle to work while he sits in luxury in his private jet.  This is yet another example of his policy of do as I say, not as I do.  This is a news flash Gore, we groundlings will not bow to your hypocrisy.    

Answer 15

I completely agree.  I think that he also should never be allowed to hold any public office again, regardless of whether he is tried.

Answer 16

Bob,

You 'conveniently' forgot to paste the fact that Gore & Company were compelled to amend the "Guidance Note that MUST accompany all of the Gore movie's viewings when held in schools.  The Plaintiff did not lose as you state.  When you stated that, you sounded like another Al Gore.  Please don't 'cherry-pick'..... be honest.... Please!

"Guidance Note contains in its introduction a new and significant

passage:

“[Schools] must bear in mind the following points

! AIT promotes partisan political views (that is to say,

one sided views about political issues)

! teaching staff must be careful to ensure that they do not

themselves promote those views;

! in order to make sure of that, they should take care to

help pupils examine the scientific evidence critically

(rather than simply accepting what is said at face value)

and to point out where Gore’s view may be inaccurate

or departs from that of mainstream scientific opinion;

! where the film suggests that views should take

particular action at the political level (e.g. to lobby

their democratic representatives to vote for measures to

cut carbon emissions), teaching staff must be careful to

offer pupils a balanced presentation of opposing views

and not to promote either the view expressed in the film

or any other particular view."

Answer 17

Your name certainly fits.

Answer 18

I don

t see Bush pushing for hydrogen developments. Would youy believe that popular mechanics has an ad selling a waterpowered rc car? It's really sad that we can't just make them for our own selves to drive. Maybe THAT'S Als fault too, right?

Answer 19

No!  Being uneducated and working to make a lot of money at the expense of the masses is not a crime.  Now smart folks should be able to see through his rhetoric to the truth!!!

Answer 20

I agree, but I disagree with any political party.

George W, has shown that following an idiot only leads to more lunacy!

Having said that, I still think that you have shown that you are able to think for yourself, and not one of the 'Sheeple'!

It is sad to see how many people are willing to be 'Ripped off', simply because of their misguided beliefs.

Answer 21

In my opinion, trying him seems like the JUST thing to do. I'm angry about everything I've learned about Gore in the last few years. But there are far greater crimes being committed by far more important and influential Americans and even Canadians...

BUT..  although there may be no other way for him to stand PUBLICLY ACCOUNTABLE, I think it would be futile. Perhaps it would bring some more needed attention to his lies and the deceit of those like him, but maybe the money, time and effort should be applied doing exactly what you are doing now...   teaching the truth.

That..  and promoting change...

EDIT:

2B or not 2B.. did you know that of all humans incarcerated on the planet..  1/4 of them are in the United States?

Whatever they are doing isn't working.

Answer 22

If you are hoping to find a jury to convict him, you are delusional.

It does not at all matter that you can be convinced. It does not matter that I might be convinced.  A jury can not be selected of peers who have never considered the matters in question without insisting on complete morons. So you would have to convince people who have substantially accepted his point of view.

Putting him on trial and you losing the trial would serve his purpose nicely. Thereafter it would be a proven issue.

Answer 23

Right after G.W. Bush is tried for war crimes, crimes against humanity and falsifying information about Iraq. He has broken the Geneva convention, lied to the WORLD, and is by all accounts the worst president in US history. So when you put Bush on trail for his crimes, then sure take on Al Gore.  

Answer 24

I think Al is a good candidate for a rubber room.  He thinks he is the messiah and is going to save the world.  Oh wait, that is Biden.   No wait that is Obama.  Oh its all so confusing!!!

Answer 25

plain and simple...YES!
