GORE: CIGARETTE SMOKING 'SIGNIFICANT' CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL WARMING

How can you not start laughing at this silly man when you read a headline like that.
The sad thing is people are thinking the stupid crap he says is just as important or more important than things like terrorism.
Hey guys at DailyKos, make sure you scoot over and make room for another tin foil hat wearer.

I'll respond when I can find anyone other than NewsMin reporting it.

(Providing the link, Game, so you don't have to.)

Right, Jay. NewsMin has little if any credibility. I can't find any other source for this assertion.

There is no "there" there. This is not a source. It includes a partial quote with little if any context.

For all I know, Gore may HAVE claimed that cigarette smoking is a signifcant contributor to global warming. If he did, I'm sure he has scientific evidence to back it up.

I would believe anything that Gores says before I would believe one word of anything out of the current adminstration on any topic of science or anything else for that matter.

"I would believe anything that Gores says before I would believe one word of anything out of the current adminstration on any topic of science or anything else for that matter."

Gore has consistently been shown to be a liar, or worse, an idiot that can't remember what he said last year. He bases his global warming stance on shakey science, he pretends his opinions reflect scientific consensus, which it doesn't, and by and large, one would have to be a flaming idiot to put any stock in anything this buffoon says. I'm sure that those who are far better than I at digging up info on the internet can find a plethora of evidence to back this up. We can start with his flip flop on tobacco growing. Please, for your own sake, find someone better than Gore to hold up as a beakon of knowledge and insight.

Please cite a Gore lie.

Also, define consensus.

Marshal Art said...

consensus: 1. An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole: "Among political women . . . there is a clear consensus about the problems women candidates have traditionally faced" (Wendy Kaminer). See Usage Note at redundancy.
2. General agreement or accord: government by consensus.

Gore claims that there's a total agreement among scientists regarding global warming. He claims nobody disagrees. There's your definition and your Gore lie.

Jim said...

I've NEVER heard Gore assert that there is "total agreement" among scientists regarding global warming. Gore would never claim that there is 100% agreement because he knows there isn't.

However, he has stated, and everything I have read confirms, that there is overwhelming consensus by scientists worldwide that global warming is real and accellerating due to human activity.

I've never heard or known the word "consensus" to mean 100% agreement, nor does your definition suggest that. So I don't think you have demonstrated a lie here. Next?

And seems like even GWB is coming around. When will you?

The Game said...

marshall, you got him with your definition...
