(CBS) Self-avowed “P.R. agent for the planet” Al Gore says those who still doubt that global warming is caused by man – among them, Vice President Dick Cheney – are acting like the fringe groups who think the 1969 moon landing never really happened, or who once believed the world is flat.The former vice president and former presidential candidate talks to 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview to be broadcast this Sunday, March 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Confronted by Stahl with the fact some prominent people, including the nation’s vice president, are not convinced that global warming is manmade, Gore responds: “You’re talking about Dick Cheney. I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat,” says Gore. “That demeans them a little bit, but it’s not that far off,” he tells Stahl.
Full story here.
It has been a while since I watched CBS’s 60 Minutes. And I am not sure if I’ll even bother watching the program on Sunday just to watch Al Gore pontificate about global warming and slander skeptics as being in the tiny majority and call them flat earth believers.
If anyone can be likened to conspiracy theorists, it would be Al Gore himself. His is the conspiracy of man made global warming, and carbon credits scam.
Al Gore should be sued for fraud, as suggested by John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel.
“Since we can’t get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue,” Coleman said. “I’m confident that the advocates of ‘no significant effect from carbon dioxide’ would win the case.”
Yes, let’s sue Al Gore for fraud!
