is it true that al gore just won an award for inventing global warming?

Question

sheesh people. I'm simply referencing the joke about him inventing the internet..

Answer 1

You know it! :)
It was really touching how moved he was & how deeply he feels about our environment. :)

Answer 2

You do not need a scientific investigation or a Hollywood documentary to observe the noxious yellow brown haze spreading out across the planet or ascertain where it originates.
It is an obvious threat to the health and well being of the environment in general as well as the humane species.
Ignoring it, and demonizing those who are trying to confront and alleviate it, is tantamount to hiding your head in the sand and cutting off your nose to spite your face at the same time.

Answer 3

On the serious side, and for what it's worth, Gore is not jumping on the bandwagon on this issue. It was a part of his first unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1988. So he's been public about his concerns for more than twenty years now. Whether you agree or disagree with him, he has been a leader, not a follower in this field. No one was talking about this issue when he first started pushing it.

Answer 4

Al Gore did no longer win the Oscar. The manufacturers of the documentary did. examining the bitter grape "solutions" from those anti-environmentalists you will basically wish that they seem to be a small minority or our planet is in great difficulty. ya gotta ask your self regardless of if there is doubt of their slender minds that international Warming isn't real that they had no longer prefer to take a raffle that it fairly is and fail to maintain the planet their babies and baby's babies will inherit. are they so egocentric and shortsighted that they had possibility their grand baby's destiny basically because of the fact they hate "tree hugging liberals"?

Answer 5

No he actually won for his movie An Inconvient Truth aka George W Bush's presidency.

Answer 6

I thought the Russians controlled the weather.

Answer 7

wow sagnev
3 questions scince aug ,you a sleeper arnt you
you last asked about girls underwear
now you still revealing where your minds at
funny dude
why not use your real id , its really funny cant wait till your next question

Answer 8

That is false. George W. Bush won that award by unanimous vote.

Answer 9

Inventing global warming? Well let me tell you something I am not going to spend the time calling you this that insulting you instead I will attempt to prove to you that global warming is real. Not through opinion or news articles, but instead through science ! I have taken it from a report I have done a few semesters ago. Please do not plagiarize.

The atmosphere acts as somewhat of a “selectively” permeable membrane due to its thin layer; in other words the atmosphere is penetrable by a quantity of solar radiation. The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen (78.084%), oxygen (20.946%), argon (0.9340%), carbon dioxide (381 parts per million by volume), neon (18.18 ppmv), helium (5.24 ppmv), methane (1.745 ppmv), krypton (1.14 ppmv), and hydrogen (0.55 ppmv).

The sun emits a variety of solar radiation that spans the spectrum of wavelengths. Visible light is between 400nm and to 700nm, infrared radiation between 700nm to 1nm, and ultra violet rays (UV) is between 500nm to 700nm. Basic quantum physics law states that energy of these wavelengths is the result of multiplying Pluck’s constant, h= 6.624 10-34joule-sec by the frequency (v) thus E = h v (frequency is established by multiplying the speed of light, c, by the wavelength, λ). So by mathematically utilizing these equations one can deduce that the shorter the wavelength (λ) the more energy the wavelength contains. Iinfrared radiation, ultra violet rays and visible light are among the shortest of wavelengths.

The atmosphere, in particular the stratosphere which contains the ozone layer repels most solar radiation by reacting with ozone (O3) yielding O2 + O, or simply O3 + UV => O2 + O (this will be discussed in detail later on). But visible light does not fully cooperate with the atmosphere; some visible light does penetrates the atmosphere as due to its enormous energy capacity. This visible light is necessary for life on earth because the dynamics of any ecosystem depend on the process of cycling of nutrients and the flow of energy. Now what happens to the solar radiation, the energy? The first law of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy principle takes control it states that energy can be changed from one state (liquid, solid, gas) to another but it cannot be created nor destroyed and as Albert Einstein proved, energy and matter, are connected ( the atomic bomb being a prime example of this connection).

A vast majority of the solar radiation is then used to accommodate photosynthesis by earth’s plant population (this is the change of state), carbon dioxide + water + light energy => glucose + oxygen + water; these results are an absolute necessity to maintain life on this planet. The remaining sunlight (solar radiation) is remitted into the atmosphere and at this stage is where the problem begins. A common misconception is that CO2 is the problem but this is not so CO2 as mentioned previously is also required for photosynthesis (not to mention plant respiration). The real problem of course is the increasing amount of carbon dioxide; many figures on the interent shows an increasing amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a green house gas, meaning that it does not allow heat to escape, therefore the solar radiation which was emitted, or reflected by the ocean must pass through this barrier of increasing carbon dioxide (in the troposphere).

Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Quantum physics dictates that solar radiation heat is not permitted to be absorbed by a molecule unless it is vibrating asymmetrically. In order for the molecule to be vibrating asymmetrically the molecule must contain three atoms. As mentioned previously the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2), neon (Ne), helium (He), methane (CH4), krypton (Kr), and hydrogen (H2). This leaves us with two molecules that contain three atoms: methane and carbon dioxide, being the more abundant molecule (and growing). There was once a balance, the oceans would regulate the amount of carbon dioxide, by reacting to the carbon dioxide to yield carbonic acid (CO2 + H2O => H2CO3 ) but with increasing amounts of CO2 the rate of carbon dioxide conversion is slow in comparison to carbon dioxide production. Therefore, increasing amounts of carbon dioxide results in warmer global temperatures.

Ive noticed yahoo answers poltical arena has become a battle ground between democrates and conservatives. Why waste your time calling each other this that blah blah why not use reason, facts, investigation, science to make a statement. Remember :

"Wise men speak because they have something to say: Fools because they have to say something" -Plato

Answer 10

Yes, do you feel better?
