Half of Gore's popularity is from Bush's unpopularity internationally.

Poor Gore. He's not looking so healthy in that pic. It's got to be difficult for a guy to win the popular vote and not win the election. :(

Whens the last time you got a nomination.....?

Last year, actually. Nominated for the peace prize for suggesting that PAB be banned.

Do you understand how people are nominated for Nobel prizes?

The Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organizations that are in the process of resolving an issue, or creating world peace rather than upon the resolution of the issue.

Yasser Arafat winning the Nobel Peace Prize invalidated the Nobel Peace Prize.

No kidding. Hell, Tookie Williams was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year from 2001 to 2005 and he was a member of the crips who killed multiple people and was executed by the State of California for those crimes in 2005.

A nomination is almost meaningless if you ask me...must have been a slow news day.

Prove that global warming is a lie and false science. :|

Global warming is not a lie, but the crap that Gore was spewing was. Of course if you portray it any other way people just aren't going to care.

He says that the increased solar brightness over the past 20 years has not been enough to cause the observed climate changes but believes that the impact of more intense sunshine on the ozone layer and on cloud cover could be affecting the climate more than the sunlight itself.

Hardly proof...More like theory. I would be willing to read more about this but I'm not willing to dismiss global warming based on that alone.

Besides, the only thing this does, if true, is exacerbate the problem.

You have to be from California. Hotbed of liberal brainless ideas.
