Will Al Gore run?

Well I would have to agree that nominating Gore for the Nobel prize is a bit premature, and I am really not sure he deserves it. However I don't think he's a joke, I do think he is on a mission to help solve the climate crisis, and I think he is indeed making a difference. All of his good work will be hugely discredited if he does make a run for the White House again, so I really hope he doesn't.

The thing is, according to as many scientists (if not more) as Gore had in his movie, the climate isn't changing any more than it normally would. Climate changes over time, independent of human affairs. It fluctuates from highs to lows every 60 years or so, and right now it just happens to be in the high phase. What Gore has done is make everyone scared over something completely natural and harmless. Global warming does not exist. So when Earth quits its warming cycle and gets cooler again, the entire Democratic party can claim responsiblity for saving the Planet, when in fact they've done nothing. It's a genius ploy, and the way things look, they'll succeed with it. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t86583.html

I too believe he'll have a rough road ahead, but I have to disagree with you that he's turning into a joke. I think he's being taken more seriously now than he ever was. He did accomplish quite a bit during his terms as VP, but with Bill overshadowing him a lot of it went unnoticed. He was part of creating more jobs ever seen in US history, more than Reagan and Bush in their terms combined, He cast the tiebreaking vote for expansion of the EIC tax credit so many of us take advantage of, not to mention expansion of the HOPE credit for college students. Although he did not invent the internet he has advocated a lot of things to get it where it is today. He authored the "Information Infrastructure and Technology Act" in 1992 which sped the introduction of computers into schools and hospitals. And of course there's more. I think people are forgetting that the Clinton administration was not a one man show. And they don't nominate you for a Nobel Prize if you're a shmuck. I think if he does decide to go for t we'd have quite an interesting race on our hands. Thanks for your insight, it really started me thinking! :)

I didn't think Obama would settle for VP either, but wouldn't it be kinda cool if he did? Then the when he runs for president nobody can throw the "inexperienced" card at him!
