Gore Kayaks to Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony

That should be the headline today as Al Gore accepted the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize today.
Of course, I want to ask you to remember that Gore did not win this award on his own – as he may wish the world would go on believing. He has to share the award and the $1.6 million prize with the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The Nobel committee called Gore “one of the world’s leading environmental politicians”.
So, how DID Gore travel to Oslo, Norway? Did he kayak, walk, or perhaps ride a bicycle? Did he make sure that he did not leave a carbon footprint or use up valuable fossil fuel resources? Did he turn the electric off in his 20-room Nashville mansion to make up for the difference?
Oh! That
S right! Gore buys people off to reduce his carbon footprint. He purchases energy credits (from his Own non-profit organization, no less) and makes donation to the needy. Sure, yes…that certainly makes up for the waste he generates monthly. I’m just not quite sure how our CO2 emissions can be counterd simply by spending money.
Gore’s an ill-informed tool, and Chicken Little to boot. Someone please enroll the man in a comprehensive course about the history of our plant. Just a couple months ago, scientist began publishing studies that overturn the IPCC’s scientific “consensus”.
