"What I despise about Al Gore is his dishonesty and his towering hypocrisy. Ditto Sting, Prince Charles, Leo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey or any other climate alarmist poster idol who deigns to hector the masses from the comfort of their carbon-spewing private jets."

Al Gore, the patron saint of vapour trails. It's got a certain ring to it.

RobP: Perhaps Al Gore's most clearly diabolical work was his determined push in Congress - and overseas - against generic AIDS medicines. The effects in Africa, Asia and Latin America have been genocidal, which kinda matches the apparently intended effects of his AGW garbage on a yet bigger and longer-term scale.

From its fraudulent "science" to its symbolic con-artistry, Gore's "Unspeakable" movie has it all. His bogus use of ice-core data was one of the funniest examples I've ever seen of plain stupidity over scientific research. But his repeated use of such imagery as the "desperate" polar bear on a melting ice cap is just sickening. The polar bear population has thrived, while such imagery is just another deception away from a simple fact of life: seasonal changes compel all polar bears to become good swimmers. It's called "Summer"!

Fraud, hoax, scam...

Protagoras, how could Ian Plimer be in such dire financial straits - being a paid mouthpiece of the Evil Polluting Resources Industry, and all?

Ah, must be one of "The Greed Merchants" see? As distinct from the altruistic and ascetic fund managers pushing ETS, depopulation, etc.

By protag's special perspective, Plimer must never get enough stuff.

C'mon protag - send us some more!

I heard an observation/joke recently.

Q. What was good about George W. Bush as US President?
A. He saved the world from Al Gore.

RobP: Maybe it's not even a joke! Seems more like an inconvenient truth.

Against all his very expensive publicity, Gore is one of the most reviled figures in US political history.

The real juice on Fat Al Gore came from South Park via their "ManBearPig" analogy with Gore's back-to-front, meta-historical fairy tales over CO2 and warming.
