Gore escaped from the institution long enough to make it up to the 'Hill"?
Stubborn to the stupid end of his neurotic philosophy of Global Warming.
Had to take a time out for the next twenty years of predicted cold spell in the weather - - - man, those nasty facts that keep him having to make up new excuses and substitutions that stand up to inspection by real scientists in the proper fields.

What if he is right? Then as the planet is dead he can say I told you so. Then it's to late. Bush made sure that companies were allow to keep ruining the country. Can you at least see some of the things he is saying might be right? No you don't want to believe him because he is a freakin democratic and god just went let that happen. I am glad we have a democratic president. Any democratic president would put the country first. Not the republicans. Its the almighty dollar first and than maybe, just maybe people.
Grundy
Yes indeed, Obama will put the country first - first down the toilet and the economy flushed right behind it. Then he will proudly stand and shout "'The Spirit of Bush made me do it!"
Gore wouldn't know a real scientific fact if it bit him on the nose (unless he could twist some of it into money making situations for himself at the expense of others.)

I don't know where you get your 'facts' and percentages but you will need to get them from somewhere else other than the Cracker Jack boxes you have been buying.
The top scientists in the world DO NOT agree with the hair brained thoughts put forth by this idiot gore. The list grows longer and longer monthly of top people that are stepping up to throw water on gore 'make me rich' ideas. Most of the ideas that he asserts are for the other people and not him - evidenced by the use of power and equipment that he uses personally.
He was a useless idiot as V.P. and sadly has expanded his looney tunes act to involve most of the liberal mindless follow the bleating group.

Al Gore.... making millions, actually hundreds of millions of dollars, off the global warming mania...
by the way, has he donated any of those multi-millions he is making off the global warming nonsense to the "cause"...
Al Gore... a big fat fake, but a very wealthy one...
LOL
welcome to America... not the land of the brave and the free... but the land of the mindless robotons

TXU and THIS NUTCASE are making BILLIONS
you do the math
oh wait - you came from Texas
you can't add OR subtract.
SORRY
maxpower1013
I'm pretty sure he has. And I like how he is the one being fake, when he is the one battling against the tide and risking his career
Grundy
As a matter of fact- gore hasn't donated any of the funds.......what he has done is pay credits to his personally owned companies....like taking money from your left pocket and putting it into your right pocket. He is real good at paying himself and charging others too.

Touche? How about idiocy?

Global warming aside, Barton showed himself to be an idiot.
He snidely refers to sport team losses as a pathetic attempt to humiliate Gore. Then, even though Gore tries to make a simple comparison to Madoff, Barton is unable tomake the connection.
Then Barton gets tough on Gore. He whips out a can of Whoop Ass--oops, I mean Pout and Sulk.
The average 7 year old is more mature.

Let us remember
TXU - Texas's #1 polluter was the #1 user of the Bush campaign jet in 2000.
Likely - they put Bush in to stop the rhetoric on Climate change -frankly ?
those folks are not only out of business if Global Warming is valid ? They are LIABLE to suit- CLASS ACTION SUIT.
This guy needs to look into Dr. Blum's work on mercury isotopes - when that is complete - TXU will be sued off the face of the map - and this guy ? will be in Paraguay !
Remember, under Bush - Houston BEAT LA for pollution, they just paid the daily fines.
I argue - Bush was put in so these yayhoo's could pull down some more free money at the expense of ALL of our health potential.
I hear Texas is hot this year.
CountryWideLockheed
He's never talked to Madoff
but I bet he's talked with TXU !
TXU spits out more mercury that travels up the north east corridor - and of course- we're only on about co2 here - not EVEN about the mercury.
I don't think this guys talked with madoff, but there is no way - the energy lobby is not trying to prop up their media fiasco - including the alleged presidency of the last 8 years.
Odd - he sure likes football though, I wonder if he's stable to be in office, I don't think anyone asked about football here - this was about our future health, stability and well being at stake.
Yet ? that the cowboys didn't make it to the superbowl was a joke ?
for who ?
who's he telling that joke to ?who's laughing ?
the Callas Dowboys - ok ok - a typo I'll keep can enjoy breathing in air from the #1 most polluted state on the books - TEXAS.
Maybe they Cowboys didn't MAKE it to the super bowl because the air quality in Texas BLOWS, or sucks, which I don't know.
EPA says it's so bad - they actually FINE them.
Let's not forget TXU's energy grid rigging 2 years ago where they just paid the 20 million fine for rigging the energy prices.
Sure wouldn't want to think TXU could make a MINT off of denyying and helping global warming, then charging all those OLD people who will DIE in 116 degree heat - unless they can pay TXU, and THIS GUY - no doubt he's on the take -
money for the 'Lectricity'.
I bet TXU says global warming exists when they see all the profits from the air conditioning bills.
Or maybe people just want to spend all that extra money for fun ?
HEAT in Texas is now life or death for the elderly.
this guy looks like he's not getting any younger.
Hey - maybe he'll forget to pay his TXU bill - and die of heat exhaustion ? Oh no'sssssssssssssssssssss.
CountryWideLockheed
We should all look at this fellows portfolio
and see what TXU stock he owns.
ASK yourself people - TXU was the #1 user of the bush campaign jet in 2000.
TXU is Texas's energy company that pulled an ENRON recently - 2 years back - just decided to rig the grid -and charge everyone over the barrell.
These goons want no global warming because energy price for TXU are about to legally become UNCAPPED in 2009 and 2010.
THIS is their- Shining time - except - I'd like to see there is NO MAGIC GOLD dust for them.
They sold out ALL of us for chump change so they could go plant their butts on a solid gold toilet seat and justify why they were feeling spiritually inadequate to necessitate such a golden toliet seat !
Anyone else think this guy GENUINELY cares about science ?
he's probably already lived his live as a selfish person - and now ? wants to expect some selfish personal afterlife plan where it's HIS afterlife plan - HIS being saved.
these people take the cake
sociopaths
we ALL know the religious nutcases I'm referring to
Bible all the way 'me me me' never OUR afterlife plan - always "MY" personal relationship - screw that.
Live selfishly - then model the afterlife selfishly ?
I say - no more - everyone call Ms Cleo and psychicly will this guy to grow, er, evolve ? maybe that's a bad word in texas ?
oh no's
Texas can't evolve - it's ILLEGAL in texas ?
Texas deserves Texas
I'll NEVER pass through or visit.
Place is an eye sore.

The best thing Barton could do is to just sit there and let gore show himself off as the uninformed baffoon that he is.
gore doesn't even have the sense to realize that most of the professional world is laughing at him----the only ones paying attention to gore are the professional politicans....you know the ones that do nothing and charge for it.
maxpower1013
The professional world is laughing at YOU for refusing to acknowledge scientific evidence, economic growth, and technological advancement. You are right in that professional politicians do nothing, but they are charging you for listening to them
Grundy
Scientific evidence ? technological advancement (that we can't afford - especially since Obama Batman took office). Economic Growth ? in what country? - not our U.S. The only growth is the vacant space between your ears - would make a good place for all of that B.S. that your friends Pelosi, Dodd, Schumer, Frank and that giant of intellegence, historical facts and spelling - our V.P. are dishing out to the media.
