He is a Nobel-prize winner for his work on [[global warming]]; Gore spreads [[alarmist]] [[propaganda]], proclaiming the end of the world. Science only known subject to back up his claims, but as is common knowledge, science has a liberal bias. Gore likes to say that, "The Earth has a fever," <ref>http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/GlobalWarming/story?id=2110628&page=1</ref> and is making millions of dollars through his fraud scheme.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/11149</ref> He has no degree in atmospheric sciences, meteorology,  physics, chemistry, biology, or climatology. Gore took two science classes as an undergraduate, scoring a "C+" in one and a "D" in the other. <ref>http://www.larryelder.com/Gore/goredubiousrecord.htm</ref> Among his notable achievements, the one he is least known for is casting the tie-breaking vote to [[tax]] elderly [[Social Security]] benefits who earn as little as $22,000 per year.

Al Gore should be ashamed of himself for attracting the support of the Phelps. Though Fred Phelps is right in everything he says, Al Gore was still wrong, as he is a democrat.

Gore's defenders claim that the majority of that power came from "green", or environmentally friendly, power sources such as solar and wind power. These power sources are much more expensive than traditional power sources such as coal and nuclear power.

Also, some conservatives have pointed to Gore's use of a private jet while spreading the message about the dangers of [[global warming]].<ref>[http://www.gnn.tv/articles/2332/More_Inconvenient_Truths_About_Al_Gore More Inconvenient Truths About Al Gore]</ref> Such hypocrisy is terrible. It is not the acceptable kind, such as being pro-life but supporting the death penalty.

:This was not the first time Gore has overreached. A year ago Gore told reporters that he and his wife, [[Tipper Gore|Tipper]], at the time when they were college sweethearts, were the inspiration for the novel "[[Love Story]]." That came as news to the befuddled author, [[Erich Segal]]. [http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue5_10/wiggins/]

Gore wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times in which he said "[he] genuinely wishes [[global warming]] was an illusion," claiming it is very real. This despite mountains of fraud uncovered by [[ClimateGate]]. [[Fred Thompson]] replied, "Hey, Al... the genie says you still have two wishes left."  <ref>[http://twitter.com/fredthompson/status/9876626632 Fred Thompson, Twitter feed, March 2, 2010</ref> Genies, unlike global warming, are very real.
