What is your view about Al Gore as a person/politician and as an environmental activist?

Question

I see a lot of people arguing all of a sudden which i don't understand ,Can you explain it to me.

Answer 1

As a activist, he has done a great job with the info we have.  We know the earth is warming, just not positive as to how.  But face it, the earth is changing, and we can help by cleaning it.  Global warming or not, our world is a mess and we need to get busy to save it.  I think Gore was cheated out of the Presidency, and we wouldn't be in Iraq now if he were president.  I don't know if he would have been good at foreign policy, but he would have been 100% better on domestic issues.

Answer 2

He's a good man. Unless he were to sell everything he owns, donate it to charity and live in a stick hut people would blame him for hypocrisy.

Answer 3

The problem with Algore is that he is a fraud.  Plain and simple.  The courts in Britain have ruled that there are so many inaccuracies in An Inconvenient Truth, that schools have to show a counterpoint when showing Algore's movie.

Algore was one of the driving forces behind Kyoto, and he even signed the treaty.  However, it was such a fiasco that Clinton didn't even send it to the Senate for ratification.  The Senate had voted 98-0 against it prior to Kyoto.  For the mentally challenged, that means Republicans AND Democrats voted against that sham of a treaty.  So when Republicans are blamed for it, the Democrats have conveniently forgotten the history of their own party.

Surprisingly, Algore's investments in carbon offset companies has not been delved into by the mainstream media.  I guess it really shouldn't surprise me that the liberal media ignores something that would threaten their agenda, but that is another story.  Countries that can't meet the very unrealistic goals of Kyoto will have to buy carbon offsets from these companies who will pay other businesses and countries to not produce as much carbon emissions to offset the lack emissions reductions in the coutries purchasing the offset.  I hope that makes sense.  Since almost every single country that signed Kyoto won't meet the agreed upon emissions goals, they will all be buying carbon offsets.  And who invested in those companies and stands to make millions if not billions?  Yep, Algore.  Why does no one point out the glaring conflict of interest between his investments and his anthropogenic global warming hysteria?  If he were a conservative pimping a conservative cause in order to make money, the media would be crucifying him.

Answer 4

He's a wonderful activist, brought Global Climate Change to the public. He knows his facts, and is doing a great job letting the planet know whats going on. He has converted his home so it is running green, and donated his profits from his movie to green organizations.

Alot of people don't like him because they are too stupid to realize that when you pump all these pollutants into the air it will cause changes to the planet. Those who disagree that man has any affect to the environment should do some research.

Answer 5

All he wants is money. He doesn't care what happens to the enviorment. This is what is going on in his head $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

Answer 6

HE WOULD OF BEEN A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN RETARDED BUSH !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Man Bear Pig  Im super cereal. south park rules

Answer 8

Al Gore is a great enviornmental activist, educating the likes of children and adults.

just recently we viewed his documentery titled an inconvenient truth. And i was amazed about all the information that myself and the other students learned. Before watching the film i thought global warming was only for america lol.

but i think Mr. Gore is doinr a good job as both a politicion and a environmentaslit.

Answer 9

It'a amazing that so many thing he said was going to happen actually already happened!

I can't believe how much it's warming, just like he said it would.  And the polar ice caps are all melted and the poler bears are almost gone, just like Gore said it would happen.

I hope he becomes president so he could fix these problems

Answer 10

I was in 2nd grade when he ran against Bush, so I can't tell you much about that.  And I don't know him, so the person part I'll be kinda useless too.  But now, I'm really into politics... I love it.

And I don't really like how Bush has run the country since his election, but I'm glad he won.  If Gore won the presidency, he would not have gotten into environmental sciences and involvement he has.  I don't know much about him blocking information in China and giving false information on Global Warming, so I won't talk about that.  Whether you like it or not, Global Warming is happening.  As to the extent of it that's being caused by humans, no one's totally sure.  Whether you like it or not, humans ARE playing some role in it.  And whether you like him or not for his political games and such, you have to give him some credit for bringing about a truly huge amount of attention on the issue of Global Warming.  I haven't been around for a long time, but from what I see and hear about on TV and on the internet, I just don't think we'd be as worried about it as we are now if he didn't use his influence and stature to bring it into the spotlight.

Answer 11

He's a nut-job.  Does man-bear-pig ring a bell?

Answer 12

gore is a liar, a fraud, and an idiot.  just like his dad, who was a liar, a fraud, an idiot, and a communist.  unfortunately, this country is full of morons like mary, who believe the ice caps have melted, and the polar bears are all dead.  such imbeciles give scumbags like gore more power

Answer 13

he's a politician... he has a lot of great points to bring up about the environment, but he sadly doesn't lead by example.

Answer 14

he is a typical fraud politician. i have no respect for him. he plays a major role in the workings of companies like yahoo and google, and he has supported the blockage of information flow in china. basically he has advocated china's communist nature and deprived so many people with the right to information. even though i hate bush, it is a good thing that gore is not president becuase any person that supports such a violation of human rights does not deserve such a prestigious responsibility.

and as far as his working with the environment, it is just a way for him to be in the spotlight even after losing the presidential race.

Answer 15

Maybe if he stopped flying all over the world in a private jet, getting shuttled around cities in an SUV, or organizing concerts which consumed more energy in 1 day than the entire country of Afghanistan does in 1 YEAR, I'll start respecting him and his activism.  

He's the reason I don't believe in global warming.  If it was real and is a huge problem, then why doesn't he try to conserve a little.

Answer 16

He has very little to do with Global Warming.  When you're talking about something that's been under discussion for more than a hundred years, how much can a guy born in 1948 really have to do with it?  He's mainly just a lightning rod for the neanderthals and fascists.

Answer 17

I believe he is an egotistical opportunist that keeps saying things without doing his homework so ends up with his foot in his mouth.   He says things that people want to hear and in the process has made it all the more difficult to make solid decisions on environmental issues due to his misinformation that people then demand action on.
