He's making tons of money on the phony science and helping to bamboozle the uninformed and scientifically illiterate. That in of istelf is bad enough, but much of that money is coming from misdirected US tax dollars in the form of government contracts and research grants. Should he give back every dime he's conned from this scam?

Good little lemming.

There is only Glenn Beck! He is the only one in the world who is saying that there is no man made global warming!

Nobody else has EVER said it!

I know that is true because one of the church people said so right here in this tHread!

Absolutely not if they were stupid enough to give it to him let him have it

No, the Nobel organization has devalued itself through its poorly selected recipients. I'd prefer Gore take his ill-gotten billions, go away and leave us alone. A reminder that he has rarely borne value to the U.S.

The scientific community knows he is right. The capitalist community, however, has spent billions to discredit what science has proven to be true.

Most people agree with science because they are not stupid.

He didnt politicize the issue, he tried to merge actual legislation with actual information and was, and still is, relentlessly attacked by the rightwing disinformation machine.

And you bought off there too.

Regrettably this thread was created by someone who does not believe we can influence the earths climate, that shows how easy it is to make people believe what you want them to. After politicizing the issue, the rightwing then blames Gore for it.

Beck is a dillweed. He is one who said..."Global warming? Tell that to the freezing midwesterners!" As if the current, temporary cold wave, empirically refutes global warming. He is 46 years old but that is something a six year old might conclude. Oh yeah. Throw in Limbaugh cause he said the same thing.

Lastly, the scariest part is that these guys know their audience and they know an awful lot of those people will happily make that simple connection, especially when it's coming from so-called professionals.
