Al Gore has been anointed prophet of the church of global warming?

Question

Now that Al Gore has been anointed prophet of the church of global warming by being awarded the Nobel peace prize, can we still say he's an ill-informed freak?

So it's not ok to question the rush to blame human activity as the cause? The earth has been going through dramatic climate changes for thousands and possibly millions of years. These are global and astronomical forces over which we absolutely no control. Global warming is happening, but it is arrogant presumption to think that humans have caused it, or for that matter to think that we can do much about it. The planet Mars is heating up too, but we're not ther to screw that planet up. Must be all the Martian SUV drivers. Just use a little common sense. Oh....wait. I forgot. Sense is no longer common.

Answer 1

Well of Course we can, Don't be Ridiculous!

How did he have time to invent global warming while he was inventing the internet?

Answer 2

Jeese Louise People! How fricken hard is it to accept that toxic exhaust is a contributing factor to global warming? The pomposity of some humans to believe that they are masters not messers of the planet just blows me away.

If you place one drop of motor oil into your drinking water is it still safe to drink? If the room is full of fumes from your car is the air still safe for your child? If you answered no to either of those questions and yet don't believe that humans are responsible for pollution caused climate change then you never will. Your future is set so you better start storing up the oxygen tanks you'll need in a few years...or you can just wait til the rapture takes you bodily to the pearly gates.

Poor Mother Nature...if I was as infested with vermin as she is I'd be scratching and washing as many off me as possible too!

I suppose someone has to be "shot" for bringing the message so why not Gore ...it is clear that many people are convinced that he just made up this **** last year because he nothing else going on... Talk about your ill-informed freaks....

Answer 3

You can call him a Rhubarb pie for all I care. However, calling Al Gore names isn't going to affect the science behind global warming theory, in which Gore is not involved, a bit.

Also, it should be noted that he did not actually win the Peace prize. He won half of it. The IPCC won the other half. Personally, I'm not sure Gore deserved it, although the IPCC certainly did.

Answer 4

We do palaeoclimatology study contained in the lab I paintings in searching at biomarkers consisting of GDGT's and Alkenones. i'm not from the US and that i can quite thoroughly say i do not care a lot less what Al Gore says. There looks the idea on yahoo solutions that climate replace is completely depending on the yankee political gadget and something of the international would not be counted. So yeah international climate replace is a international difficulty yet yahoo solutions is amazingly american centric. edit: technology and faith infrequently blend nicely. technology is in holding with logical arguements around the data that you presently have it quite is continually evolving as new data will change into obvious. faith can both be taken contained in the perception of a chain of morals by using which to stay your existence or perception in a more desirable being. Now I actual don't have any difficulty with human beings having faith if it helps them get by way of their lives then sturdy for them. notwithstanding those who're religious attempt to positioned technology right into a similar container. making use of words like perception and church of darwin/AGW. technology by using its very nature isn't a faith it truly is the polar opposite of religion in that there is actual data of different clinical theories. there is not any data that god exists. there is data that climate replace exists from the very undeniable reality that 14,000 years in the past we the position in an ice age, we arn't anymore. there's a huge difference between clinical perception in something it quite is in holding with good judgment, reason and remark and faith perception it quite is in holding with nicely contained related to Christianity what a e book that changed into written 2,000 years in the past says.

Answer 5

"can we still say he's an ill-informed freak?"

Sure.

Along with 99+% of the world's scientists, EVERY major scientific organization, most every world leader, etc.

They know all about natural cycles. They also know that the data proves this particular warming isn't natural.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/412.php?lb=hmpg1&pnt=412&nid=&id=

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know... Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 6

Al Gore is a lot of things but he's right on the importance of global warming. We need to make changes but he's not the guy to lead it because he's a hypocrite living in his gigantic castle. It makes me sick. It's so wasteful. That's my problem with it.

Answer 7

Ah, But out of a two hour film he got 9 facts wrong, Does this not prove he's completely wrong anytime he opens his mouth?

You know, I think I'm collecting thumbs up those who understand my sarcasm, and from those, well let's just say they don't understand!

McMillan tried to appease the Nazis after they took Poland.
Science is 98.5% sure it's AGW and you want to wait.
Fools.

Answer 8

You can call him whatever you like, it's a free world.

At the end of the day it makes no difference to the science upon which he based his move but if it makes you feel better then go ahead.

Answer 9

Al Gore needs to go back to the search for manbearpig.

Answer 10

YOU´RE BEING MORE POLITICAL THAN HE IS ! And at a much lower level, congratulations !!!

Maybe if you paid more attention in science classes and less in church you would have the same consensus

I AM SURE YOU REMEMBER LAST SUNDAY SERMON, LAST FOX SHOW... BUT DO YOU REMEMBER SPECTROPHOTOMETRY LABS ???
