Al Gore continues to live large

Al Gore invented Global Warming and he admits it in this quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Global Warming." How he managed to do such a feat remains a mystery today; some allege while standing on his porch in Tennessee, he threw a lasso around the Sun and pulled it closer to Earth. Others say he while standing on the Sun and threw a lasso around the Earth and pulled it closer to him. The real explanation is lost to the sands of time unfortunately.

As Al began to regret taking the initiative to create Global Warming, he decided to have a concert to raise Global Warming awareness called "Live Earth". It was held on 7/07/07, and 74,500 tons of carbon dioxide gas were produced by the event. Thanks Al.

Al Gore increases global temperature 5 degrees every time he takes his shirt off. Mmmm....oh yes

The article you posted states that the vast majority of scientists believe there is sufficient evidence to conclude man-made global warming exists. The article is about one, contraversial scientist who thinks otherwise. So, what is your basis for saying "there's a ton of evidence that refutes this theory..."?

Global warming is a well established theory. Is it true? As I explained in my previous post that is a disingenuous question in the context of the scientific community. No theory can only ever be proven true, only proven untrue.

From a practical standpoint, should we make policy decisions based on "the vast majority" of scientific consensus, or should we do nothing because of a handful of dissenting voices?

What is your basis for saying that "a lot of scientists fall for their political bias and need for more funding and accept man made global warming theory to be true"? Are you implying that scientists will say they believe in global warming, even though they really don't, in order to get funding for research projects? What types of research projects would they be doing with that research funding? Studying global warming, even though they don't really think it exists? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Finally, I am curious as to whether or not you can explain the concept of green house gases and why the hypothesis of man-made global warming was put forth in the first place.

Supporting the theory of evolution does not hurt the economy; supporting the theory of man-made global warming DOES. Big difference there. And the oil companies fund all of their own "scientists" and "contrarian evidence"?

Your tirade doesn't make any sense. You clearly aren't in control of any of the facts in this issue. Gore bought his current house in 2002. He tried to install solar panels on his roof at that time, but the his neighbors fought the installation because his community considered solar panels to be "generators", and the local law says that all generators must be mounted on the ground. He successfully lobied to have the law changed, and once it was, he installed solar -- it has nothing to do with his movie, his critics, or any of that.

Solar installations put power back into the grid when they are creating more electricty than the homeowner can use, which means his neighbors (or any other local electric customers) can use the green energy he creates. He gets credit for that electricity.

Like any other homeowner who isn't a total idiot, he's also insulated his home, installed newer windows that are energy efficient, etc. You keep saying Gore is asking everyone to conserve - and we can't afford solar panels -- so what? He's doing the things everyday homeowners can do, such as insulate, weatherstrip, etc. Anyone can afford that, and if you can't, your local energy utility usually has programs that provide help.

your are missing the point wrote:

His actions don't mean what he says isn't true. Don't get bogged down in the small stuff. There is global warming, it is a threat to our world, something should be done. Are you seriously less inclined to help because he has a big house?

what al gore says is that people need to make sacrifices. what al gore says is that people need to change their habits. al gore doesn't personally live the way he wants to make everyone else live so why should he be taken seriously? at least ralph nader walks the walk. al gore wants people to adopt his crazy ideas so that his global warming emissions trading companies can make him lots of money.
