Papers such as the Washington Post, not a tabloid known for evenhandedness in its reporting, reported in Gore’s scholarship abilities with a distinct tone of abashment in their prose. Here is what was said about the young Gore’s attempt at handling higher education’s strictures, “In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore's classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.”
The article goes on to point an accusatory finger at Gore’s ability to even understand the basics of how the ecosphere works, “For all of Gore's later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man's Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year. The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet avoided all courses in mathematics and logic throughout college.”
Jay Leno had an interesting punch line with regard to politicians, “…is a highly trained liar. If you try it, you’ll die!” He was talking about infidelity and hookers, but when you’re dealing with most politicians, the two aren’t all that far apart. In the case of Al Gore and global warming, you have to wonder why so many people who are normally skeptical would swallow hook, line and sinker a story that has as much veracity as the “I invented the internet” fiction.
Al Gore is by far the most visible beneficiary of the global warming ponzi scheme
Al Gore is by far the most visible beneficiary of the global warming ponzi scheme. As a climate-change fear-monger, Gore has banked millions in book sales, speaking fees and DVD royalties. His pseudoscience flick, “An Inconvenient Truth,” won an Academy Award for best documentary, not to mention 21 other film awards. He was also the co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his “efforts 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.” Note that word, “efforts”. It seems that liberals can get awards for simply trying, not achieving.
As unstudious as he has proven to be, Al Gore is no dummy where cunning is concerned. While the greenies were helping him create panic over nonexistent global warming, he built investments into a host of new so-called “green” businesses. Now remember, because of his past office, Gore has connections that most people simply are not allowed to access. These connections enabled him to tie into using all the new environmental regulations for his own profit. This is essentially legalized insider trading on steroids. In addition to this, because the vast majority of reporters make Fidel Castro look conservative, our nation’s wealthiest climate fraud was given a free pass by the mainstream media. They absolutely refused to ask Gore a single pointed question in regard to the piles of cash he was raking in while pushing the global warming hysteria.
Well, even the best laid plans can unravel, and due to a few brave men and women who consider honesty in science more important than being invited to the “right kind of parties”, Gore’s ponzi scheme has been dealt several deadly blows.
This link, points out a number of the lies Al Gore has attempted to put out as scientific truth. But, as with every liberal, neither Gore, nor his supporters are concerned with the truth.
The New York Times, no slouch where carbon footprints are concerned, furnished Gore last Saturday with what amounted to an unpaid advertisement. Published February 27th, 2010, We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change amounts to nothing more than an attempt by Gore to keep the global warming money coming in, and the New York Times is more than willing to join in on the scam. In the piece, Gore, owner of the largest carbon footprint going( sorry, NYT), states that “unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.” Any guess on how many of these “large-scale, preventive measures” would add to his ever growing Swiss bank account?
Gore also claims that the world is facing an “ever dwindling oil supply”. This is understandable because like all liberals, Gore does not and cannot consider anything done by or within the United States worthy of consideration, unless it promotes the socialist agenda. And because of his political myopia, his is an unfounded claim due to an oil field containing over 200 billion barrels of obtainable crude being discovered beneath North Dakota.
This link gives the particulars. With the continual advances in hybrid automobile technology, that 200 billion could reasonably equal a trillion barrels in effective fuel energy. On this, Gore is silent.
The US Constitution gives us the right to voice an opinion. Nowhere in that document is the slightest hint that anyone is allowed to publish a lie for profit. Yes, I know, the ghastly specter of censorship is inherent in that phrase, but we already have laws against fraud, libel and slander. Sorry to burst your bubble (no, I’m not), but there is no Constitutional right to lie. Al Gore should know that.
