Why can't global warming skeptics go more than two sentences without mentioning Al Gore?

Question

oh no the skeptics have overrun this section too!

Answer 1

Because Al Gore has managed to wedge his fat a** into any conversation about global warming - a political phrase carefully crafted to induce the most fear by the way.  Climate change wasn't scary enough to make any money.  When the experts can explain how Republicans and SUVs are causing the warming temperatures on Mars and Jupitor as well, I'll start taking them seriously.  Until then, I'll just worry about the increase in storms and hurricanes...whoops, they flipped on that one.  Nevermind.

Answer 2

because that's about the limit of what they think they know.

sassy,  <<Because he started all this madness.  (Sure, there was speculation before him, but it was Gore who raised awareness about the nonexistent climate crisis...)>>

from your profile:  "I will be majoring in wildlife biology and conservation in college."

what doesn't add up here?

Answer 3

Because the Global Warming alarmists can't go more than two websites without quoting him.

Answer 4

I will need to check--- but I don't believe I have ever mentioned Al Gore in any of my posts????

HOWEVER-- this video says it all---

Answer 5

Global warming happens because of natural cycles. Man contributes nothing towards the Earth's climate. The Earth is too vast to attribute change in temperatures to humans.

There you are. Here are three sentences, and Al Gore wasn't mentioned in either one of them. I'm a skeptic too. Whoops- I believe your question has just been proven invalid.

Thanks for playing and have a nice day!

Answer 6

Because he's an easy target.  They can't dispute the science, so instead they attack the messenger.  When people can't form a coherent argument, often they resort to ad hominem attacks.

It's just a sign that they're on weak footing.

Answer 7

because Al Gore = Global Warming.

Answer 8

The movement has made Al Gore the defacto spokesman for global warming by forcing his video upon unsuspecting children.  His name will forever be synonymous with global warming.  Since most proponents wish to distance themselves from him, it is HIS message being taught, not theirs.  Proponents can't have it both ways.  Don't want to hear about him...get him out of the classrooms.

Answer 9

Because he started all this madness.

(Sure, there was speculation before him, but it was Gore who raised awareness about the nonexistent climate crisis...)

Answer 10

Because he's easy to hate.  He doesn't believe enough in what he's saying to practice what he preaches.  To make things worse, he uses even more resources and energy than several hundred of the "little people" do.  He wants everyone else to accept "inconveniences" while not inconveniencing himself to wait in line at the airport to air-pool instead of taking private jets, riding in limos and SUV convoys instead of riding in a smaller, fuel-efficient car.  He's disgusting and he's stands for an economic scam, not saving the environment!

Answer 11

Because he's the chief cook and bottlewasher of the whole thing.  Why pretend he's not responsible for the current chaos?  It's only prudent to pay him his due respect don't you think?

Answer 12

Because they're jealous that he invented the Internet and they didn't! ;D
