Typical of the far left. Even if the facts don’t back you up, destroy the competition by threatening them. Say goodbye to the First Amendment with these people.

Al Gore has a mansion in Nashville, Tennessee. SXSW is in Austin, Texas. There are about 860 miles between Nashville and Austin.

I wonder how Gore got there...hitchhiked? Rode his bike? Roller skated?

In your opinion do you think that the solutions they propose could cause more serious issues?

I am both a scientist and an engineer. I have been studying the "anthropogenic climate change" hysteria for over ten years, with an open mind.

Scientifically the assertions of the leftist loonies are completely unscientific, pieced together by those who benefit from the alleged "solutions" and even a first year engineering student can easily poke holes in the theories. There is a lot of literature, mostly recent, from learned scientists that dismantle the warmist theories, but of course they are never reviewed or covered by the media, or even acknowledged. The "97%" claim is the most tortured and idiotic assemblage of numbers ever concocted, and still people just sheepishly accept it.

AGW is one great can game, and all one needs to do is follow the money and study the numbers..

when ypou are the president or were a president or vice president you can get an audience even if what you are saying is gobbledeegoop. maybe the gore fellow you look at the weather being reported on the weather station which this AM said 12 to 18 inches of more snow in thew penn, ny, and new england area.

zenphamy unfortunately the news media do give him that audience and the media is so entrenched in the stupidity exhibited by the liberals that they would never say "al" what about all of the record setting cold days and snow accumulations we are experiencing. another demonstration of the tragic ending that is in the process of the USA

They gave him a pass on those communist chinese government donations to he and Billary's and his own presidential campaign funds... all three of them should be in prison... but in the vast scheme of former democrats sitting in prison, it's not severe enough I guess.

He thinks its fine if all the 'little people' live in a mud hut and boil their water with a solar oven while washing their clothes on washboards in the stream, but for he himself and his obnoxious wife, only the best...

Well, as my dad said, "Politics is a good job if you have no conscience or moral standards." Gore is right up there with the lowest (!)

I believe we should start with China and India.

We need to punish Democrats and Liberals and make them pay their "fair share".

Yesterday I heard Rush say that Al Gore is considering making a run for president.
Perhaps the clown man (he makes men think more of a SYFY made movie plodding android) is also considering all the clowns who actually voted for Opinocchio twice.

His Gas+Electric bill for his own house is over $30,000 a year... hardly 'energy efficient'. He justifies it by buying "offsets"... "Do as I say, not as I do"...

He's one hell of a hypocrite, that's why he bugs me so much.

Perhaps he does. He is making a nice income off of all this. Kind of the political version of studio wrestling.

I know he has been challenged to many debates over the years and you would think that a Nobel prize winner would welcome the challenge. He runs and hides.

Jets and SUVs. This guy has a carbon boot print.

That was another angle to this story. The fact that a former Vice President would suggest that essentially freedom of speech be threatened is frightening.

For me, the scary thing is Gore does not see that he has become a joke.

"Punishing" someone for their opinion is simply not American... he's just bitter because the voters punished him for acting & sounding like an A-Hole.

Did he get there on his Gulfstream?

Shouldn't biofuels be a part of the solution? More proof this is about control and not about the climate.

In my opinion the most rational way is to promote freedom and liberty. Socialist and Communist countries are the worst polluters on the planet. I would also worry about unintended consequences. If we attack an unproven problem we may create issues that are far more serious.

Al Gore has already succeeded in punishing my biofuels company so much that we shrugged. I plan on reopening it in Atlantis.

Again you assume a non-existent problem. There is nothing rational about al gore and his ilk.

You see a problem that the government must fix by control. That is socialism:
so•cial•ism (sōˈshə-lĭzˌəm)
► n.
Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
n.
The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
