Nobel Prize Winner Gore? (Groan)

An inconvenient Peace Prize

Read why the Nobel peace prize has become somewhat of a joke, and simply a political statement.

There is nothing wrong with educating people on Global Warming, however there are several misconceptions which are repeatedly supported. The most common of these is perhaps that everyone on the coast will drown in 50 years if nothing is done. The last is that we as a population can prevent the adverse effects from happening. Scientists who aren't a part of the miss-information machine will explain that the damage can not be reversed, and earth will have to repair itself.

Global Warming 'Past the Point of No Return'

It's actually simple chemistry. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, when they die the take it with them decompose and may eventually become deposits of fossil fuels in thousands of years. By burning this fuel we are quickly releasing all of the Carbon Dioxide removed by plants over the course of thousands of years of world history. The world CAN NOT process this increased carbon dioxide as fast as we create it.

Does this mean we shouldn't bother eliminating fossil fuels from our diet? Of course not, but when you fill people's heads with garbage, and they figure out that you are just either:
A. using a cause as a platform to make money, or gain political power; or
B. trying to scare people into responsible behavior, they'll lose respect for you, and your cause.

Not to mention.... Al Gore really doesn't follow his own advice.
