Gore Refuses to Hear GOP Statement on GW

Dr Berman have you watched "An Inconvenient Truth" yet?

Yeah, but no one died when Clinton lied

Yep, a person needs a lot of imagination to believe in GW and scientist need imagination to sell GW. :lol:

I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to listen to that either. Everybody already knows what they're going to say, that they agree the climate is changing but that we as humans have no contribution to it blah blah blah.

Which unfortunately brings me to this thread. Nobody who posts on here is going to change their position on GW or Islam or the war or bush or ... or ... or ... or.... So we can all get together and just count how many different immature names we can call each other. I swear I've read the exact same thread 50 times under 50 different topic titles.

Just my useless thoughts in a useless environment. B)

That's not what is being asked here. They want to spend billions of dollars on a figment of someone's imagination. Meanwhile they tell 3rd World countries don't burn coal or oil for energy, sinking them deeper into poverty and despair. Then they ask everyone else to make sacrifices they are not willing to make themselves.

Scary thing, dbermanmd is involved with a profession which requires that he comply with dispensing prescriptions to ill people based on scientific testing and results. Anyone pick up on the irony here? Does he find himself to be as capable of interpreting this scientific information and applying his personal findings to the manner in which he practices medicine?!?!?! Yikes.

If his good but imperfect intentions do harm then yes and although we may disagree on this point we can hardly disagree on my point.

Wow Ed. I leave PriusChat for about a year, and here you still are in Fred's, fighting the good fight against the neo-con wanna-be's.

Here's to you! I wish I had your energy!!!

 

Well just as I feared, no suggestions are being brought forth. Too bad though. I guess this forum is really just a sounding board for opinions and not an exchange of ideas.

Which is one of the main reasons why I seriously doubt doberman is really a doctor, or indeed is named "Berman".

 

The entire video of Gore's testimony can be watched here:

Give us a chance to see and hear the speech, K?

OOPS there it is right there thanks.

Just a counterpoint to the recurrent idea that dealing with greenhouse emissions will be costly. On the contrary, this is a business opportunity for many that are competing to replace the oil hegemony.

Understand that oil WILL run out eventually and we will have to find new sources of energy anyway. The added benefit of doing it now is that we may avoid the negative effects of climate change.

Also, if you see competition between nations as a race rather than progress, alleviating the oil addition will be a competitive advantage over other developing countries that will be still be tied to the oil model. Unfortunately, china, and most other countries, already have better energy policies than we do. So this yet another race that our intellectually challenged conservative politicians is letting us loose...

 

The good: even the insult-slinging dberman (you were right E, it's in every single post) appears to be smart enough to buy a Prius (unless he's just here for kicks).

The bad: even someone who KNOWs that we should cut back on gasoline consumption thinks that scientists have nothing better to do with their time than to make up huge hoaxes (not only GW, but Moon Landing).

I also noticed none of the Gore bashers have answered the post asking if they have seen An Inconvenient Truth. Dude, I listen to Limbaugh once in a while, just to see if maybe I AM on the wrong side of things. That's what it means to have an open mind. Willing to listen to all sides and try to put aside your previous biases.

Gore isn't perfect. But he's bringing GW information to the mainstream, which others have tried and failed to do. I guess some will be claiming GW doesn't exist long after that thermometer keeps creeping.

My 2cents.

Okie dokie... sleep on it (not your computer of course) and constructive criticism please. I already know you don't like the guy

No, they'll acknowledge at the time that the climate has become unbearable. But they will whine that it's all science's fault: they'll complain that science hadn't worked hard enough to persuade them its predictions were correct back when we still had time to do something about it.

You are entitled to believe I make that statement sarcastically, but your belief would be erroneous.

Today when Gore spoke to congress, senator Inhofe tried to railroad Gore by asking questions and not allowing Gore to respond, telling Gore he 'could respond in writing later'. What a dirty trick (Nixon style). When Gore tried to respond to Inhofe's tirade and was again cut off by Inhofe, the majority leader, Barbara Boxer waived her gavel in front of Inhofe and 'reminded' Inhofe there are consequences to losing an election and he no longer makes the rules and if he was going to ask the guest questions he had to wait for a response. The repubs have run amok for so long now they think they are ENTITLED to continue even now when they are in the minority. It must kill the repubs that a 5 foot woman has the power to scold them into submission. Just wait till Hillary is president. They will absolutely wilt with shame at having to follow yet another smart, powerful, woman who will take no s**t from them.

Yeah, that was a great exchange! Elections have consequences!

Is the video for questions session posted somewhere? I could only find Gore's main speech.
