The guy tells half truths and misleading info to spread his global warming scenario. Now I know the Nobel Prizes are rigged.

Mediocrity, soft science, and p.c censorship of opposing views. He was a shoe-in for a Nobel.

I guess I'll have to comment again.

Gore is a loud mouthed hypocrite, who is still whining about not getting the presidency.

His film is full of accuraces (one of which has a 20 meter sea level rise) and "soft science" of maybe, what if , chicken littel type science.

His leadership is that his homes, colectively have a global warming foortprint many time that of the average wasteful home he inveys against, and his privete jet leave a bigger foorprint tahn my SUV by many times.

Any man that wants power as much as Gore does, should never be allowed near it.

The Global warming / Kyoto debate is all about global redistribution of income. If they were honest and gave no country, India, China or whaerever an "by" it might be better.

Uh, no he's not. Give some examples. Showing facts and statistics (like getting the popular vote) doesn't constitute "whining."


Itaewonguy is right.

Even if Gore's film does have some disputable information, the purpose of the film to is raise awareness about a global threat. Some of you need to stop watching Fox News for your information and think.

Itaewonguy and bibbitybop are both right.

It's similar to Geldof and Bono raising awareness of countries in poverty. To keep this in the media makes people think about poverty.

There's enough avoiding of the issue by Mr Bush, then again he's having money stuffed in his back pocket by oil companies to keep his stupid mouth shut.

Or maybe not believe that 'The Day after Tomorrow' could happen in true hollywood fashion.

Al Gore is a clown of a choice for the prize, but, who should have won?
