I thought it's already been proven that a lot of what he talks about is false, based on old data or highly exaggerated. Not really educating, more like scare mongering.

There you have it folks. Straight from the horses (uhm, Donkeys?) mouth.

Your actions of conserving energy mean nothing. Gore "talking" about conserving energy means everything.

Already addressed.
Let's cut the bullshit. I'm not going to wach the movie. I just won't. So I'm asking YOU to tell me. Can't you do that since you're so knowledgeable? Can't you tell me what Gore himself says? Is that possible, or is it too difficult for you to tell me? I want ot hear it from YOU, not Gore.

Again, I want YOU to tell me what I can do, not Gore. I'm not seeing the movie. YOU tell me since you seem to know so well.



What I do is what I do but I am not the one criticizing someone else either so what I do doesn't matter.
You're criticizing me, and I'm asking you. It matters in this conversation, especially since you're pulling the same Gore trick "it doesn't matter what I do, it only matters what I tell you to do"

I am not Gore nor am I going to spread HIS message. If you want to know what HE says...listen to HIM.

And again...I am not GORE so I have no need to repeat what HE says. Go watch, read a transcript or burn a dvd.

I am criticizing you for the way you and others in here blast GORE for doing SOMETHING to help spread a message of "our environment needs to be cleaner". I don't care what you do...and what I do doesn't matter in this conversation. I am not going to play your little spin game.

He flies hundreds of thousands of miles a year in private jets, uses 20X more energy than the average person (not counting the jets and Cars/trucks that ferry him too and fro) yet his minions say he still does "20 times more than you" to conserve energy.

It's so silly
So building awareness does nothing to help a problem?


What if he uses 20x the energy than everyone else, but gets 100 people to half what they use per year doing his traveling?

I guess you don't see the disconnect between that and what you are saying.

He thinks there is zero scientific evidence of global climate change.

Awesome. You defend him, you support his message, and you attack us for criticizing him, yet you can't tell us what he says, cause it's 'his message'.


I am criticizing you for the way you and others in here blast GORE for doing SOMETHING to help spread a message of "our environment needs to be cleaner".
We have reason to criticize him and his message, especially when he doen't believe it enough to do it himself.

I don't care what you do...and what I do doesn't matter in this conversation. I am not going to play your little spin game.
You should care about what I do, especially when accusing me of doing 'not enough' or 'nothing'. It's not a game, it's answering your accusations. You've accused me of doing the bare minimum, and yet I don't even drive a car. Frankly my friend, you're an asshole, and you can't even smell your own shit.

What's funny is that I don't even believe that man has that much of an effect on global warming. So I am by no means pro Gore. I just think it's stupid to attack someone for no reason at all or just because you don't like him from an election 8 years ago. What I do think is that none of us do enough to protect our environment and the fact that Gore has some ideas and tries to educate people on the different aspects of the environment and global warming is admirable.

A 10k square foot home is not 20x the size of the average home. It is 5x the size. And homes that size are better insulated and more energy efficient to boot.

Sorry, your argument fails.

I agree.

Watching these guys trip all over themselves to attack him was entertaining at first, but now it's just sad.

I am not attacking his stance on global warming because I dislike his past. I am attacking his stance on global warming because he's portraying it falsley. He's not simply 'educating people to be cleaner', he's creating a state of fear. THAT state of fear tactic is what I'm criticizing.

I defend him because you baselessly attack him. As I have stated before, I don't even believe man has that much of an effect (if any) on global warming...yet I do know man destroys the environment...THAT's what's important to me and someone who pushes a message of "help clean up our environment" while doing things to show he follows his own message is something I can appreciate. I don't attack him just because he's a democrat...like you do.

Which is a totally false statement. He does do it himself.

I have said that NOBODY does enough...yes, sorry, that includes even you your majesty. The only one acting like an asshole is you. Again, attacking me should earn you negative rep or a reprimand from the mods...yet nothing. Go figure.
