		<description>It is worth reading the news article as linked.  The judge finds &#039;insufficient&quot; evidence for some things stated as a certainty, and does say or imply that Gore overstated his evidence in more than one place.  But neither the judge nor scientists in the field dispute either the main theme of Gore&#039;s film, nor the huge preponderance of sub themes and specific facts, episodes and implications as stated by Gore.  

He may well have overstated a bit, but that sure as heck does not amount to refutation of nor even a serious discount against his argument.  The judge was careful, in fact, to make plain that his findings did not refute the film&#039;s message.

I have NO idea why this has become a liberal/conservative dispute. Al Gore is obviously a political figure, but this particular episode in his career of environmentalism is clearly to be tested by science and the accumulation of evidence, not by political philosophy or contention.
Maybe it just ticks off many conservatives that an a Democrat might have gotten hold of a really, really, compelling issue, and is looking more right than not as time goes on. 
Hey, it could happen.  Face up to it.
More important, there really is an issue of great import here, and to argument-no matter how fierce--will not hold back the tide, as King Canute took such pains to teach us.</description>

		<description>Oh and I think incidentally that it would be a disaster for Gore to enter the Prez race to his prestige.  

Gore is viewed as a joke on the right generally here.  But that was the case among Independents and some on the left 7 years ago.  That is no longer the case.  Whether the right here believes he is a joke is irrelevent because he&#039;s admired by independents now and of course on the left.  In the rest of the world, he&#039;s seen as a statesman. 

Right now, it&#039;s mostly just those on the right that tear apart his work on Global Warming.  Yes, a judge finds errors in his film, but the judge points out the overall points of the film are correct and that&#039;s really the story among the international media as well.  If he were to get in the race, the mainstream media would start repeating right wing talking points about his work because they kind of have to if they&#039;re going to cover the candidates&#039; words on both sides.  His positions would be reduced to soundbytes and his work would be reduced to pure politics, when the reality is that there are serious environmental problems that he&#039;s trying to tackle. 

I would be surprised and dismayed if he entered, my dismay being both for his work being diminished and his lack of judgment on what it would do to his work.  

So my prediction...he doesn&#039;t enter.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Dan, too bad for global warming alarmists that that didn&#039;t keep the judge from ruling that the film was politically partisan and didn&#039;t need to be shown without a fact sheet accompanying it, eh? The judge is clear that if schools are going to educate about global warming, that it must be a balanced education, something Al Gore, on the other hand, does not favor. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sister&gt;  Well, that&#039;s as may be.  I&#039;m just pointing out that if we&#039;re going to all say &quot;Ah hah!&quot; based on the judge pointing out things that are incorrect and use that as proof Gore and Global Warming are frauds, it should also be pointed out that the judge agreed with the film&#039;s (and Gore&#039;s) general points. 

If we accept one as proof based on a judge, don&#039;t we kind of have to accept the other?  Or are we cherry picking from the ruling here to suit our own pre-determined views?  From the original posting, it doesn&#039;t look like you believe that Global Warming exists or that man has an impact at all, but I may just be misunderstanding.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;No Surprise:  Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize For lying about Global Warming&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Now let me get this straight: some danged fool washed-up politician decides to make global warming his issue, produces a film of dubious accuracy on the topic, and is up for a peace prize? What on earth does inveighing against global warming have to do with world peace?

Maybe it&#039;s just me, but I&#039;d say that those monks in Burma have already contributed more to the cause of world peace than this overstuffed, pompous fool of a former Vice President.

But I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll get the prize. After all, they just awarded the prize for literature to Doris Lessing, who&#039;s been churning out unreadable novels since practically forever, because it was her turn, dammit.

As for the idiotic notion that Gore could ride the Nobel Prize to the presidential nomination, all I can say is I hope he tries. If he does, Hillary Clinton will impale him to the side of a barn, and we can all enjoy the hissing sound as the gasbag deflates.;)</description>

		<description>Yes Eddie I care if he gets in. That fool knows no shame and is totally blinded by those who worship his fat carbon buttprint. If he gets in he will become a laughingstock and really screw with the democrat nominating process.

Hopefully he will be the one to lead the hypocritical socialist greedbags to a well deserved slaughter. I just love a two-time lefty loser.

		<description>It&#039;s amazing that people will actually pay to see propaganda films like this.

When the children in public schools in the U.S. or the U.K. are shown the film, 

1) Are they forced to watch it?
 
2) Do the schools have to pay for it?

3) Does Al Gore gain monetarily?</description>

		<description>Obviously Gore has produced an advocacy film that is so one-sided that no &quot;vast majority&quot; of scientists support his claims---that is a media huffpuffery worthy of Stalin or Hitler&#039;s BIG LIE agit-prop techniques.

Gore won&#039;t debate because he simply can&#039;t refute most of the arguments against his one-sided movie.

It should only be shown in school with a warning label:  This film is harmful to logical minds who base their conclusions on facts. 

The oafs and imbeciles in Oslo keep dumbing down their brand until soon the Peace Prize will be just another politically fungible chit.</description>

		<description>The Nobels for the hard sciences, physics, chemistry, math, biology, etc. are still serious awards and highlight some excellent work by innovative scientists. The political Nobels for Peace and such have degenerated into a baseless, corrupt, unaccountable popularity contest for the looney leftists and pro-Marxists of the world. It&#039;s like the Nobel Peace Prize has become the Academy Award for the UN crowd. It&#039;s basically become the Nobel Anti-United States award. 

But, if Gore gets it he&#039;ll just be beside himself with glee, the man exhibits all of the negative traits of a person suffering from full blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but the really sad thing is how many thoughtless and easily led sheeple mindlessly sign up to worship at the Goracle&#039;s First Temple Of Global Warming.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;1. Get everyone hyped up over global warming&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Indeed, perhaps if the messiah would stop jetsetting around the world in his private jet using twice as much energy than the average U.S. citizen, it might be easier to take him more serious.  If he&#039;s so concerned about the impending &quot;ecological disaster&quot;, as you put it, perhaps he could lead by example.  Doubtful....
