http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115253 Once again, Democrats refused to permit the Republicans' intended witness to testify. They knew Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, would rubbish Gore's Doomsday scenarios. So Gore was allowed to mislead Congress and promote his unfounded assertion that humanity faces "an irreparably...

By Nick Loris Al Gore has had a busy week. First, the former vice president’s renewable energy investments received some serious backing from the taxpayer as $3.4 billion stimulus package would be allocated for smart grid investment. $560 million went to Silver Spring Networks, a company Gore’s venture capitalist firm invested in, that makes hardware and [...]

Last year, we wrote how odd it was that former VP Al Gore banned reporters from a speech he gave, where all audio-video equipment was also banned. These days, such "no reporters allowed" speeches make no sense -- because anyone can be a reporter. Yet, it seems that there's something in the veep sauce (or veep wannabe sauce) that leads to these sorts of positions, as former VP candidate, Sarah...

Grist and Joe Romm provide a fantastic review of Al Gore's New Book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis . Says Romm about the book, which is based on 30 of Gore's Solution Summits, as well as one-on-one discussions with leading world experts: I was at one of the Solutions Summits, as long-time readers know (see “ My Al Gore story ”). I was interviewed by Newsweek about that...

[Guest post by DRJ] Apparently Al Gore thinks his global warming opponents are quacks, and true believers are justified in pursuing civil disobedience to save the planet: “Gore’s new book, Our Choice: A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis, gives global warming deniers short shrift, and shows little concern for displays of political bipartisanship: he likens [...]

While Charlie Blurr Burr at BO accused me of stooping "to take the luster off" the Al Gore endorsement of Bradbury by reporting here on the genuine history of bad blood between Gore and Kitzhaber, over at Willamette Week, reporter Hank Stern admits that, journalistically, I simply beat him to a interesting background story. In his article today, "Al Gore, John Kitzhaber & Not So...

“..A day has dawned that we never thought we would see: conservative Fox News commentator Glenn Beck (who recently shocked viewers with his throwing-a-seemingly-live-frog-in-boiling-water gag).. .. has publicly expressed his admiration for controversial animal-rights group PETA. All right, so Beck’s strange leap onto PETA’s bandwagon just so happens to give him some ammunition against...

Vice President Al Gore, Nobel Peace Laureate, venture capitalist, author, lecturer, Academy Award winner, activist, the man Denialists love to hate, and the man some others canonize as the path-breaking visionary on the threat of global climate change, has a new book out: Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis. It has a [...]

Photo via No Fact Zone We all know who Stephen Colbert considers to be his most worthy foe--himself. He tells us so every time he does a Formidable Opponent bit, in which he argues with different versions of himself over the topics of the day. Last night, the Stephens took on the global warming debate, with a little help with dual Al Gores. Video after the jump.... Read the full story on TreeHugger...

I’m quoted in USA Today this morning talking about Gore’s solutions book–Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, currently at # 21 on Amazon. As I note, it is very good that Gore is focusing on fixes, given that An Inconvenient Truth was faulted for not having enough focus in this area. However, [...]

This is kind of like Hillary Clinton's sudden epiphany years ago to invest in cattle futures. She had never done so before and never did again, yet all of a sudden, she got a wild hair and made $100,000.00 investing in something she knew absolutely nothing about. Now Al (save the world) Gore would have us believe that he made this investment with no prior knowledge that Obama would funnel billions...
