Did Al Gore ever burn tires?
I was watching the television last night and a southern man was saying that it was so cold Al Gore was burning tires. Now I'm not sure who to believe these days, but I do know that climate change is a happening right now. I miss when it was a little warmer outside.
Is there a problem with Al Gore saying BS is BS?
Al Gore: "The model they’re using in that [tobacco] effort was transported whole cloth into the climate debate. And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: “This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.” Bullshit! “It may be sun spots.” Bullshit! “It’s not getting warmer.” Bullshit! There are about ten other memes out there. When you go and talk to any audience about climate, you hear them washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again. They have polluted this — There’s no longer a shared reality on an issue like climate even though the very existence of our civilization is threatened. People have no idea! And yet our ability to actually come to a shared reality that emphasizes that this matters — It’s no longer acceptable in mixed company, meaning bipartisan company, to use the goddamn word “climate.” They have polluted it to the point where we cannot possibly come to an agreement on it." Now frankly, everything Gore said in that quote was spot-on. Climate deniers use the same tactics as tobacco deniers, and even use many of the same "experts". Deniers constantly spout the same tired old long-debunked myths, and have created an alternate reality echo chamber where they pretend these myths haven't been debunked. And they've managed to create a political climate where people are afraid to utter the word "climate" for fear of attack by that denialist echo chamber machine. This is all BS, as Gore correctly points out. But maybe because he's Gore, maybe because he used a naughty word, or maybe because it was bluntly true, the deniers have been crying about what a meanie Al Gore is. I fail to see the issue here. Is there a problem with Al Gore saying BS is BS?
Nominate "Al Gore on the Floor"?
I've been hearing calls to nominate Al Gore on the floor for six months now, because the Democrats generally don't like Hillary much more than the Republicans like Jeb or Trump. The problem is that our Presidential elections are democratic—but our primaries are not. If you want to make yourself mad, but it's maybe the only way to understand the issue, look up SuperDelegates. As pertains to Gore, note that SuperDelegates is primarily a DNC office. The popular vote means mathematically little to the RNC, but mathematically zero to the DNC. Consider that no matter what the people vote for, almost 20% of the votes automatically go to party power brokers. Read: Hilary's friends. Gore absolutely mathematically cannot be nominated on the floor unless it's Hillary secretly orchestrating it.That's the short version of what you're hearing when you hear about a "brokered primary" and/or Carson and Trump saying they'll leave the party if the will of the people is ignored--because the GOP has been pretty overt (again no more overt than the DNC already is) that if the people vote against them, they have the right (and they do) to just ignore the election or to call as many do-overs as necessary until they get the answer they want.
Why do some people hate Al Gore?
Original Question: Why do some people hate Al Gore?No Original Question DetailsThank you for the A2A, Tigran MelikianThere is no one, single reason why some people hate Al Gore.For some people it is simply partisan politics.For others he is a symbol of the “climate change conspiracy” as they see it, and he is coming to “take away their SUVs.”A large subset of those who dislike him because he is part of the “climate change conspiracy” also believe he is a hypocrite who creates far larger amounts of carbon pollution than they do with their SUVs.For some of these people, they even believe that he is personally profiting from the “climate change conspiracy.”For these people, the truth simply does not matter.I, on the other hand, while I do not hate Al Gore, I objectively recognize that he did the environmental movement a huge disservice. Frankly, he is an attention whore who made climate change about him, by needing to be its face.A lot of people in the United States do not like attention whores, and often this dislike is visceral and intuitive. So he alienates a lot of people by the way he carries himself.Put that all together and it becomes relatively easy to see why many people in the United States hate Al Gore.I cannot speak for people in other countries.

Did Al Gore get cheated in the 2000 US Presidential Election?
Yes, but as others have, said nothing can be done about it now.However this does not mean we should ignore or forget it, especially when the side that did it are screaming about election fraud day in, day out today.Here is a photo of the Brooks Brothers riot, as it was called, which forced the Florida recount to be stopped due to safety concerns:and here’s who those people really were:Let’s not misunderstand this, this was an orchestrated effort to throw an election, along with FOX news and the Florida governor. If this happened anywhere else in the world, what would American’s have said? But this happened in the USA and it was largely ignored, as argueing against it is considered ‘rude’ in Washington establishment circles, and calling anyone in that circle dishonest is a huge no-no. The image of civility must be maintained.Now it is gerrymandering, voter suppression through voting locations, ID laws etc. and removing people from voter rolls by the samed side. It is not called rigging out of politeness by the media, in the same way they won’t call politicians liars when they clearly are lying, but make no mistake thats exactly what it is.Look at the numbers in the last Senate election:Dems 49,779,548 (58.2%) - 47 seatsGOP 34,422,837 (40.2%) - 51 seats(2 undecided)18% more of the vote equals 4 less seats, and make no mistake, in politics 18% is a landslide.We could even mention how, like in 2016 with Trtump, Bush lost the popular vote as well, but the electoral college selected Bush.In the end though, the Republicans are all about projection. If they claim the other side are doing something bad I would put good money on it being them actually being the ones doing it.I am not a Dem supporter by any stretch, they are are corrupt to the core, but the GOP today are on another level.
Do AGW believers have an obsession with Al Gore?
It's strange, if I remember correctly I've heard that assertion before. Quite the contrary, when I did a scan of all open questions, questions in voting, and the most recent 20 resolved questions (108 questions overall), I came up with these results: References from deniers: 20 References from unknown: 1 ("Green Feet" - in Resolved questions, if I'm not mistaken) References from proponents: 3 (One of which was to say to NOT bring up Al Gore in responses, another to say that no Al Gore was necessary to explain global warming). (Questions that referenced Gore were counted, but not answers to those questions.) So do believers really have an obsession with Al Gore?
