Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize

[NiggaHate]

THIS DUDE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR PRESIDENT! IF THAT HAPPENED, I DOUBT STEELBRA WOULD BE IN IRAQ RIGHT NOW


OSLO, Norway - Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and lay the foundations for counteracting it.

"I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize," Gore said. "We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity."

Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary on global warming, won an Academy Award this year and he had been widely expected to win the prize.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said global warming, "may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states."

Gore said he would donate his share of the $1.5 million that accompanies the prize to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan nonprofit organization devoted to conveying the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

Cool beans. Say what you want, he brought a lot of attention to the issue...

 

[Mo-Better]

Cool beans. Say what you want, he brought a lot of attention to the issue...

Yeah everyone seems more aware execpt the Bush administration.

 

[BigDaddyBuk]

so the presidential candidate who lost the election just won the Nobel Peace Prize...and the other who won the election will probably go down as the worst president in American history.

what's wrong with this picture?

 

[lostbuck]

Bush stole the election. Al won the popular vote, but Nadar screwed us all. Just the opposite of the '92 election. Al should have cut a deal w/Nadar. And we have lived through eight years of the Bush OIL war.

Cool beans. Say what you want, he brought a lot of attention to the issue...

Yes, and diverted alot of attention away from his own hypocritical use of energy. Another typical liberal telling you how you should live your life while they use what they want and as mush as they want.

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization, issued a press release late Monday:

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.


Here's the best part of this, I saw on Lou Dobbs show a few months ago Bush installed thermal and solar in the White House 2 years ago and his ranch in Texas 100% GREEN. The double standard continues in the media.

Hate on Bush all you want, but hate him for a logical reason, not an emotional response...

 

[D-Nice 1]

.....and his (Bush) ranch in Texas 100% GREEN. The double standard continues in the media.

Hate on Bush all you want, but hate him for a logical reason, not an emotional response...

Have you been a "sucker" all your life?

[Tinman]

Have you been a "sucker" all your life?

Wow!!! Brilliant answer.....

 

[BigDaddyBuk]

well, i guess he's a hypocrite for not living in a tent.

i guess he's a hypocrite for being rich.

i guess he's a hypocrite for trying to post a solution to HIS consumption as well as everyone else's.

but even after all of that, at least he's not a coke sniffing, alcohol abusing, heart attack having, DUI conviction burying, draft dodging, illiterate, incoherent, foreign policy destroying, WHITE affirmative action receiving, inept moronic nincompoop who fucking stole the election for the United States presidency twice.

now get the fuck out of here, white boy.

btw, last i checked Bush is living in the White House, motherfucker.

I guess bankrupting the country, destroying damn near all international relations and getting us into an oil war aren't good enough reasons to hate Bush? Get the fuck outta here, Bushie. You fuckin' crackas crack me up.
Bush is the worst we've had. FUCK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

I agree. If only he could heavily taper his family's usage of power ... then he'd much more be walking the walk on top of talking it. Props to him and his affiliates though on actually bringing more attention to the issue of climate crisis/global warming on the whole.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore

Wikipedia - "Today, Gore is president of the American television channel Current TV (which won the Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television award at the 2007 Primetime Emmys [3]) chairman of Generation Investment Management, a director on the board of Apple Inc., an unofficial advisor to Google's senior management, and chairman of the Alliance for Climate Protection."

Hate on Bush all you want, but hate him for a logical reason, not an emotional response...

 

[GAMETHEORY]

What's the connection between Al Gore and Peace?

Has he negotiated a peace treaty? Participated in cease fire negotiations? Helped bring about peace anywhere? Can anyone point to some former violent region on the globe and state that Al Gore is responsible for the peaceful conditions that now exist there?

 

[Chi Shot Caller]

Hate on Bush all you want, but hate him for a logical reason, not an emotional response...[/B]

STFU

Should millionares live in hud houses now? Go inform youself and stop watching fox news.

 

[smokedacane]

I don't think we would of been any better off with Al Gore, he is more than likely another member of the good ole boys club and not mention he is a Freemason.

 

[Chi Shot Caller]

I don't think we would of been any better off with Al Gore, he is more than likely another member of the good ole boys club and not mention he is a Freemason.

Man we would've been "better off" with Ronald fuckin McDonald...

 

[smokedacane]

Man we would've been "better off" with Ronald fuckin McDonald...

hahaha


It looks we lose either way in the presidential elections. I think they made sure of this after JFK tried to actually make changes for the better.

 

[BigDaddyBuk]

hahaha


It looks we lose either way in the presidential elections. I think they made sure of this after JFK tried to actually make changes for the better.

no, we lost when the will of the American voters was vetoed by the will of a rich minority.

nothing could've been worse than what has occurred in the past 7 years.

 

[smokedacane]

no, we lost when the will of the American voters was vetoed by the will of a rich minority.

nothing could've been worse than what has occurred in the past 7 years.

very true


but I still think the candidates are set up to make sure they get there guy in there.

 

[black_powerfist]

It's more than him not walking the walk on the issue of global warming. Do a google search on "Al Gore and oil." They didn't give him the White House so they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[NiggaHate]

so the presidential candidate who lost the election just won the Nobel Peace Prize...and the other who won the election will probably go down as the worst president in American history.

what's wrong with this picture?
