Al Gore

“OSLO, Norway - Former Vice President Al Gore was nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his wide-reaching efforts to draw the world’s attention to the dangers of global warming, a Norwegian lawmaker said Thursday.

“A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference,” Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

“Rush Limbaugh Nominated for 2007 Nobel Peace Prize

Limbaugh called 'the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today'

LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Landmark Legal
Foundation today nominated nationally syndicated radio talk show host Rush
Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million
people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the
world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades
of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all
humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin.
These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout
the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.
"Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in
the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the values
of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal
application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel
Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful
world for future generations."
The Nobel Peace Prize, which is given by a committee of the Norwegian
Storting (the Norwegian Parliament), was created by inventor Alfred Nobel
in his will in 1896 to be given to the individual or organization who
"shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations,
for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of
peace congresses." The first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901 to Henry
Dunant and Frederic Passy.
Should Limbaugh become the 2007 Nobel Laureate for Peace, he will
receive the Nobel Peace Prize medal and a cash award of $10 million
Norwegian Kroner (approximately $1.6 million). The prize would be presented
at a ceremony in the Oslo City Hall presided over by King Harald V and
Queen Sonja of Norway on December 10, 2007, the anniversary of Alfred
Nobel's death. As the 2007 Nobel Laureate for Peace, Limbaugh would deliver
the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Lecture at that ceremony.
Founded in 1976, Landmark Legal Foundation is the leading conservative
public interest law firm in the United States. Rush Limbaugh serves as an
unpaid member of Landmark's Board of Advisors.

“Makes at least as much sense as Gore.”

“Looks like everything Old Alfie touched turned into a Bomb.”

“Friday night I saw an interview with Gore about the concerts. Before they asked about that they quizzed him about his son getting arrested for going 100 in a Prius and he had pot with him. My only thought was, "A Prius can go 100? Who'dathunkit?"”

“Says Al, "I was loading the bong for Al III and that cop pulling us over caused me to spill bong water all over my favorite tie dyed shirt........COPS!!!"”

“Marky mark thinks its okay to speed on drugs.....(LOL) must never have had any exposure to a family who lost a loved one to drunk or impared driving.

The other cute thing is the joke they are making of what Gore is going through. I really feel for him for that. One thing I am thankful for is that you guys DO not know what it is like to be a parent who has truly done their best and their child will not follow the rules of society.

It is gut wrenching to watch. When you have to sit there and watch one of your children get arrested and the whole time the cops are telling the parents it is not their fault. But that is reality....horrifying and sad.”

“That was merely a little follow up humor, Diaper Dan.

Why don't you just send me hate mail instead of making an ass of yourself to everyone on Trail Talk?”

“The public hate mail is more fun.”

“LOL...good ole marky mark...can always count on him to have an exposed nerve.”

“An Inconvenient Truth didn't play in this redneck backwater... not even at the eyesore on Wheeler Road. I was surprised that Fahrenheit 9/11 did.”

“I wouldn't mind watching the movie but think it would carry more weight with most if Gore walked his talk.

“Let's go after Gore and his SUV.... not the Western Fuels Association, the automakers who fought CAFE standards, etc.

Attacking Gore is an attempt at misdirection. It's the same as attacking Moore for shedding light on the war while giving a free pass to the people who started the war then mismanaged it.

I say go to the source.”

“So Gore gets a pass because he talks the talk, even though he doesn't walk the walk? Sure, I suppose that makes sense in your twisted world.

BTW, I wonder how much global warming was caused by all theose celebs flying their private (or chartered) jets all over the world to put on the algore special.”

“Gore lost, get over it, tiltypoo.

“I'm less concerned about an SUV that he may or may not drive than I am the $30,000 utility bill. That's the stone I'm throwing.

How is my world twisted?”

““Let's go after Gore and his SUV.... not the Western Fuels Association, the automakers who fought CAFE standards, etc.

I don't think so.”

“LOL
Like tiltypoo doesn't ever use attempts at misdirection.
LOL
I'm shocked if he ever is on topic.
Why do the poor libbies always accuse the right of the things they do themselves?
Sickness, I guess.”

“Some people still think Saddam was in bed with al Qaida and a hundred metric tons of chemical weapory are still hidden under the sand. How dumb is that?

You don't have room to question anyone's credibility. Quit ripping off the taxpayers and get to work.”

“The Prius has the 1.5 liter engine that comes in my Yaris too. Top speed is actually 113 mph. MarkO has the same engine in his Sion Xb but he can't go 113 mpg cause he's got a problem with aerodynamics...

Gore, U.N. Body Win Nobel Peace Prize

Former vice president Al Gore and a United Nations panel that monitors climate change were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to control it.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee characterized Gore as "the single individual who has done most" to convince world governments and leaders that climate change is real, is caused by human activity, and poses a grave threat. Gore has focused on the issue through books, promotional events and his Academy Award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a joint project between the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization, has been monitoring evidence of climate change and possible solutions since 1988.

The science showcased by the panel and Gore's advocacy have helped to "build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change," the committee said.

"Whereas in the 1980s global warming seemed to be merely an interesting hypothesis, the 1990s produced clear scientific support."

”

“Al owns alot more GOOG than most, rite?”

“Whereas in the 1980s global warming seemed to be merely an interesting hypothesis, the 1990s produced clear scientific support."

Gore's film contains "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush".

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/10/11/scigore111.xml

Al Gore's environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth contains nine key scientific errors, a High Court judge ruled yesterday.

The nine alleged errors in the film

* Mr Gore claims that a sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland "in the near future". The judge said: "This is distinctly alarmist and part of Mr Gore's "wake-up call". He agreed that if Greenland melted it would release this amount of water - "but only after, and over, millennia"."The Armageddon scenario he predicts, insofar as it suggests that sea level rises of seven metres might occur in the immediate future, is not in line with the scientific consensus."


* The film claims that low-lying inhabited Pacific atolls "are being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming" but the judge ruled there was no evidence of any evacuation having yet happened.


* The documentary speaks of global warming "shutting down the Ocean Conveyor" - the process by which the Gulf Stream is carried over the North Atlantic to western Europe. Citing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the judge said that it was "very unlikely" that the Ocean Conveyor, also known as the Meridional Overturning Circulation, would shut down in the future, though it might slow down.


* Mr Gore claims that two graphs, one plotting a rise in C02 and the other the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years, showed "an exact fit". The judge said that, although there was general scientific agreement that there was a connection, "the two graphs do not establish what Mr Gore asserts".


* Mr Gore says the disappearance of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro was directly attributable to global warming, but the judge ruled that it scientists have not established that the recession of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro is primarily attributable to human-induced climate change.


* The film contends that the drying up of Lake Chad is a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming but the judge said there was insufficient evidence, and that "it is apparently considered to be far more likely to result from other factors, such as population increase and over-grazing, and regional climate variability."


* Mr Gore blames Hurricane Katrina and the consequent devastation in New Orleans on global warming, but the judge ruled there was "insufficient evidence to show that".


* Mr Gore cites a scientific study that shows, for the first time, that polar bears were being found after drowning from "swimming long distances - up to 60 miles - to find the ice" The judge said: "The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm."That was not to say there might not in future be drowning-related deaths of bears if the trend of regression of pack ice continued - "but it plainly does not support Mr Gore's description".


* Mr Gore said that coral reefs all over the world were being bleached because of global warming and other factors. Again citing the IPCC, the judge agreed that, if temperatures were to rise by 1-3 degrees centigrade, there would be increased coral bleaching and mortality, unless the coral could adapt. However, he ruled that separating the impacts of stresses due to climate change from other stresses, such as over-fishing, and pollution was difficult.””

“Does anyone believe anything Sarge says anymore?”

“Every thing he has said about me is true. My girl friend gets better wipes at Walmart, but life as a wipingbouy is rite their with the best.hehe”

“Oh, so to be clear thirdterm, a judge's ruling is not necessarily correct, right?

All you've got is personal attacks. I've just cut/pasted an article about the ruling.

LMAO!

btw - since that's all you've got, (personal attacks) I'm going to assume you're already on my ignore list, so I'll add your halloween name too.

cya!”

“3rdGerm, ignorance is bliss.”

“Poor tiltypoo is so silly.”

“I don't hold too much admiration for the Nobel. I mean, Arafat got it once for crying out loud. The Nobel holds as much prestige now as the Grammys did after Slim Shady won one.”

“Does anyone seem to notice he got the PEACE Prize...I mean his work was supposed...SUPPOSED to be in a Science...yet he gets it for a subjective topic like Peace?


Kinda like getting "Most courageous" on a little league baseball team.....”

“All bow down to the Goracle!”

“It's FUN watching you guys squirm!”
