Um, as someone kindly pointed out, Al Gore didn't invent this, he just publicized the findings of scientists all over the world. Some of these scientists weren't even studying things like global climate change, but animal habitats and other research assignments, and they saw that SOMETHING DRAMATIC is happening. So how the heck did this turn into Al Gore's "lie"? I mean, this has nothing to do with Al Gore. If Al Gore believed the sky is blue, I bet people who hate him would argue it's purple against all good sense! Would you rather believe independant scientists who are funded by universities, the government, private parties, people who have nothing to do with each other, or an OIL COMPANY who makes a profit off of what is probably causing this? I mean, never mind an educated person, anyone with STREET SMARTS can see that the oil companies don't want their profits messed with. Well, now of course, science has ENDED the debate and even the oil companies are on board to get green...

What Al Gore is 'Lying about' is lying through ommision, a good percentage of what Gore puts out in his book and his movie have been disproved or at least have legitimate counter points.
Global warming is real, But it has been real many times in the past, which is why you can go to Wyoming and find fossils of fish, because throughout history the earth has gone through a cycle of melting ice caps and growing ice caps.
What the real question is, has the rate of global warming been drastically increased do to the actions of humanity? I don't think so, and there are a large group of scientists who don't think so. But you never hear from these,because it is politically incorrect to go against the Global warming hysteria.
The latest to join the fray in the argument against man affecting global warming is the head of the weather channel, a meteorologist with many years of experience. He has come out publicly to declare that global warming has been blown all out of proportion, and it has been done so maliciously.
He does not believe that mankind has significantly increased if at all the rate at which the earth is warming.
Does that mean we should not endeavor to be more green. I don't think so. Being more green can only benefit us in the long run, the more things that are recycled the more things that are biodegradable, the less need we will have for landfills.
But don't get all high and mighty, don't call names just because you disagree. Your right, there are people who would argue the opposite of what Al says just because he says it. But are you on the opposite side? Just because Al says the debate is over why do you believe him?
Do your own research, see that there is still plenty of evidence for the opposing side. And just because something on the surface looks like it is good for the planet maybe you should dig a little deeper.
I recently read an article about how the Prius may be the cleanest car driving on the planet, but in order to make those cars more pollution is created than if you had driven the average fuel efficient vehichle for 20 years.

"Lying on those good Exxon people" - do you mean to say "laying on" or do you mean to say, "lying about". And you start your rant with "um", so we all figure you are about 12 years old? I say 12 because that is when the attitudes start, and 12 year olds always think they are being prolific by starting their kiddie rants with 'um'. And what "good Exxon" people are you referring to? The ones that drill in Alaska and let their Valdez captain get drunk, crash his rig, and spill his load all over the bay? Or the execs setting the price ( in California ) at about $3.25 a gallon for the cheap stuff and $3.55 for the better stuff? And anyone with a brain, darlin, can do all their own research and never see his movie and come up with the same conclusions his film did. So toots, what is the point you are trying to make? That you are young? That you are uneducated? That the rest of us are gullible? Or that Gore is a bad person? I think I get it though, your mommie and daddy work for Exxon . . . .?

ENDING debate is not science, it's politics. Science thrives on debate and skepticism, it's politics that thrives and groupthink and unquestioning loyalty. There are plenty of scientists who still disagree with the premise of global warming, and ignoring them as unimportant does nothing to advance science, only the Democrat party. Gore's movie has proven factual errors that have even been recognized by the legal system in the U.K, and Gore himself refuses to debate the issue with any scientists, also saying that the debate is ENDED. That is not science as it is generally practiced since the middle ages.

Considering the fact that government profits more from taxes collected than Exxon or any other oil company makes in profits your statement doesn't make of sense.
Nuclear energy is clean and hasn't killed anyone, but do you hear anyone talking about it?

cons can't ever argue facts, so they ALWAYS try to talk about the messanger.
this is too consistent a pattern to not be purposeful.
every moment we sit here and talk about gore, is a moment where we are not talking about what needs to be done to save our planet.
the cons basically want things to stay exactly the way they are, or better yet, wind the clock back to 1950 or so, when we all drove huge v-8's, gas cost .15 cents a gallon and everyone knew their place.
what is gradually happening is that the entire world is moving on and they are staying in their medieval positions.
the cons have done everything they could to make themselves irrelevant...

I'm still trying to figure out why he cries like a baby about global warming, but yet, you still see his fat rear end stepping off his leer jet. Beats the heck out of me. I guess the guy just can't keep from lying. You know how it is with "his kind".
