Is Al Gore lying about Global Warming?
A few weeks ago, Al Gore admitted to a room full of people at the TED conference that he has a financial stake in several companies which provide "carbon credits." This means he's making money of off people's global warming fears.
Doesn't this bring the credibility of everything he's ever said about Global Warming into question? Is he only talking about Global Warming to line his own pockets?

I don't know if Algore actually believes this BS about Global Warming (but if he's really as big of a chowderhead as he seems, I bet he does!) but the fact that he's profiting from the hysteria he scares up is undeniable.
What I find amusing is that Liberals have absolutely no problem with Algore profiting off Global Warming while he's still pushing it, but at the same time go into hysterics over Dick Cheney and Halliburton - after Cheney severed all ties with the company!!!
But then, we already knew the first principle of Liberalism was hypocrisy...

Yes, Al Gore is lying and the global warming hysteria is one of the biggest hoaxes ever pulled, with huge amounts of money being collected from well-meaning yet gullible people and pocketed by the likes of Al Gore so he can live one of the most carbon dioxide producing lifestyles of anyone on this planet.
If Al Gore really believed what he says he would stop jetting around the world for glabal warming conferences and skeeches, he would stay home and appear on video because that would save all that fuel and not produce the rascally CO2 he complains about, that is unless AlGore secretly wants us all dead and thinks he can speed our deaths up by making as much CO2 as he can. If that's his plan it won't work and in a few years Al will be very sad when the whole world figures out that CO2 is not really causing global warming at all.
I still remember the 1970s when environazis were screaming that our pollution would cause an ice age and we would all freeze by the year 2000. Then the earth started warming again like in all previous natural cycles and many of these same environazis started screaming that pollution was causing global warming instead and that instead of freezing we will all burn. Last year was cooler than any year in the previous 20 years. The "global warming" peaked in 1998 and now the earth is cooling, once again as a result of natural cycles. In a few years, people like Al Gore will make up new lies and some people will believe them and get scared all over again, allowing people like Gore to scam them out of more money.

Al Gore is not a very bright man. He got mediocre grades all through school and washed out of two graduate programs.
Actually got lower SATs and grades in college than George W Bush even though Bush didn't even bother studying.
Why do people call Bush the dummy?
Gore started this environmental thing as a young Congressmen in the 70s when nobody was doing it.
He got laughed at but he kept at it because his ego got involved.
When Gore was VP, Kyoto was big and he latched on to it even though it was a loser.
He forced Kyoto to a vote in the Senate and lost in a 99 to 0 vote but couldn't let it go.
Gore was egged on by the environmentalist crowd in Hollywood who stroked his ego.
They contributed heavily to his presidential campaign and when he lost, they underwrote his book and movie.
Gore has become a very rich man and a celebrity because of the issue.
It doesn't matter that The Inconvenient Truth is Junk Science.
It is non-PC to say that because the Media has made it an article of Faith.
Global Warming is Religion in America.
Carbon credits are the same as wealthy noblemen buying indulgences from the Catholic Church in medieval times.
They could commit any sins they wanted and then buy their way to forgiveness.
This is rich people bullsh!t.
They are still doing more damage to the earth than regular people.
It is hypocritical.
So is Al Gore.

People who believe in global warming always have lots of evidence. An Inconvenient Truth is FULL of good evidence, and nothing in it has actually been shown to be a lie. People who -deny- global warming never present evidence, they simply deny it. (Come on! Saying it snowed somewhere this last Winter is not evidence that the average temperature of the globe is not rising!)
If I was Al Gore, knowing what he knew, and having money to invest, I would bet on Global Warming. Look at it that way. He is so sure that global warming is happening that he's actually put his money where his mouth is.
Now we're seeing these bizarre ads on TV with a liberal extremist and a neo-con extremist sitting together on a couch. Did you EVER think you'd see Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson both agreeing on global warming? Or -anything-! In fact, those two weirdos agreeing on something is probably the best evidence global warming deniers have that it isn't true! 8^0

Al Gore is not lying about global warming. There is too much information available to doubt it. If you were serious and wanted an answer to that question, you'd be researching. Instead you're trying to smear Mr. Gore.

I don't think he's lying, just over exaggerating and misinformed. Usually when someone talks about a doomsday-like event, it's a sure sign they're trying to scare people, which is exactly what Al-Gore does.

come on!! Global Warming!! How can we have global warming when a few months ago it snowed over in the Middle East?!? Gore is a freak and a sore loser. it makes since that he would be making money off of soemthing like this.

It didn't even take that announcement to suggest questioning his Global Warming statements. All it takes is a look through the piles and piles of sources talking about how his "An Inconvenient Truth" movie is full of lies.

His credibility went out the window when he claimed to have invented the internet. The man is a nut case.
- wcowell2000Lv 61 decade ago
No, he believes his own bullshit. As far as these carbon credit companies, I would be stunned if one has ever made a dime.
