    All that science and reason after so much "gut feeling" and faith-based denial, could the wingnuts stand it?

    I don't know how Al got the Nobel Prize, according to the folks over at Fox news, and a truck driver in Great Britain, Gore just made all this stuff up about global warming, and doesn't have any conclusive concrete evidence to back him up.

    Al Gore's Convenient Untruths

    It's like these people live on another planet.

    The heat and light in global warming

    Apparently the global warming deniers have just been playing it cagey all along, a group of them recently purchasing the rights to build a floating summer resort at the North Pole, which will very shortly be completely clear of ice and those pesky polar bears.  Soon the latest rage for hip conservative vacationers will be waterskiing under the aurora borealis, and drinking all night in the new Arctic Sea where the nights go on for six months.

    Go through the list, Jim, besides Arafat, who is OBVIOUSLY the most difficult person on that list, and explain how these folks represent a decline.  I bet you don't even know who won last year or what they won it for.  Here's a clue: micro-credit to help the poor start their own businesses.  His name is Muhammed Yunus, and he started a little miracle called the Grameen Bank.

    Or what about Shirin Ebadi, the year before that, a courageous Iranian lawyer fighting the power there.

    Doctors without Borders?  

    A few people you don't agree with does not a Peace Prize in decline make.  Hell, Kissinger got it while secretly bombin Cambodia.  That decline in stature happened almost forty years ago.

    The real question is if today's elitists could even award the honor to the man it's named for since he is most known for inventing dynamite.

    Arafat, Carter and now Gore.

    Even if you accept his philosophy (which obviously to me is horse poop) how is this helpful in relation to peace?

    What has he done to bring peace?  Even though Carter and Arafat where terrible winners at least they did thier work in the feild the prize is supposed to be for.   Gore is a public speaker who's goal is to raise awarness of climate change.  What does that have to do with world peace?

    Shouldn't the monks in Asia or women fighting for rights in the Muslim world get far more consideration then a man who charges thousands of dollars for speaking arrangements, makes a propogandist film with multiple errors and doesn't live the gospel he has no problem preaching?

    2007-10-12) -- Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000.

    Mr. Bush, who was narrowly defeated by Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election, thanked Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito "for swinging the vote my way, and helping me to join the pantheon of great Nobel laureates like Jimmy Carter and the late Yassir Arafat who together brought peace to the middle east."

    Mr. Gore could not be reached for comment as he was returning from Oslo, Norway, in a private jet. However, his spokesman said that his efforts to bring peace on earth speak for themselves.

    "Thanks to Al Gore's movies, speeches and books," said the unnamed spokesman, "Terrorists and tyrants around the world will soon lay aside the weapons of war and give peace a chance by working together to develop a hybrid car that runs on cheap, clean-burning gunpowder."

    And the Sun-Times just publishes propaganda...I am lol. But since you brought the subject up.

    As for bias and propaganda, it seems that Editor and Publisher has no qualms with a columnist advocating exactly that.

    The industry still has a lot of power to influence people. How about if newspapers abandon their old way of doing things when it comes to the issue of global warming, and turn their influence to good? It just might be that through this issue alone, newspapers revive themselves to some extent. Editors are shirking their responsibility to improve our world, in my view, so let's change that.

    lol and a hehe

    BTW:

    WASHINGTON, Sept. 12  PRNewswire-USNewswire -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance. "This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature

    Link

    Did you even read the link???

    For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."

    Is the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate controlled by Big Oil?

    Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."

    Is Nature magazine a mouth piece for BP??

    Gore argues Greenland is in rapid meltdown, and that this threatens to raise sea levels by 20 feet. But according to a 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology, "the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain." In late 2006, researchers at the Danish Meteorological Institute reported that the past two decades were the coldest for Greenland since the 1910s.

    And the Journal of Glaciology owned by Exxon?

    That you think that the Nobel prize has not lost stature is a clear indication that you have been trapped in a time warp..

    Since I don't believe in time wraps I'll put you down as uneducated.

    Your in depth knowledge of the Crusades certainly proves you to be a first rate historical scholar.

    You forgot to mention that history will prove Bush pure and Gore impure.

    And as I showed in my other reply, are you also claiming that Nature magazine, American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate, Journal of Glaciology and the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate are under the control of big oil???

    Don't you think that's pretty paranoid?

    And then there is the not so small matter of those 500 peer reviewed articles...

    Man Made  Global Warming - MMGA - has become a religion... And Algore is the high priest.... Are you willing to sacrifice at its altar??

    lol (My blood sugar's low again and Im having memories from when I was 13)

    And the other THOUSANDS of researchers who tke the man-made influence on climate change seriously are--oh yeah, I remember-- under the influence of tenured-radical-controlled universities.

    Whats the matter Little Jimmy, afraid to use that argument anymore? Afraid it shows you up for the scared, Talk Radio educated twit you are?

    I give you magazine after magazine of non-biased sources and you don't want to talk about that.

    That MMGW has become PC and necessary for funding is so well understood I am surprised that you revisit it.

    Since I won that one I won't bother in revisiting it.

    up to be be the judge of such august and reverend things as a prize for peace, I think this is a good quote:

    Albert Einstein once said, "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

    I mean besides wanting to change the subject.

    MMGW is a fake. Algore is a fake. Read the information I provided.

    As for the quote, it is possible to hold two contrasting thoughts at one time. At least for most people. You? Evidently not.

     condemns hypocritical celebrities who lecture other people about the need to make sacrifices while enjoying wasteful luxuries the lectured could not dream of enjoying because the hypocritical celebrities inject themselves into the debate to boost their image  and have the ability to draw attention to their pronouncements almost all others lack.

      If Gore, Streisand or whoever is the celebrity du jour on the issue du jour would not draw attention to themselves and incidentally to their hypocricy by attempting to boost their images  they probably would not draw flak intended to deflate their images.

    I have prayed to God that He will allow me to live long enough to witness algore being led away in handcuffs to begin serving his lifetime sentence in prison for his "Manmade" Global warming Hoax

    The trillions of dollars involved on the newly mandated CFL's (100% of which are manufactured in China) is part of his scheme to become the planet's first trillionaire. Every traffic light contains 16 bulbs, add in all the nation's auto headlights, turn signal bulbs, dome lights, etc. @ $3.50 per bulb - China's getting richer and richer while America supplies most of their wealth.

    I hope that lifetime sentence is "Without Possibility of Parole"

    Of  course his phony "Oscar" and "Nobel" will have to be deleted.
