Al Gore, Comedian: Media's Global-Warming Coverage Too Balanced

Photo of Mark Finkelstein.

Did Al Gore win his Nobel for "peace," or did it perhaps come in a new category: comedy? I ask in the wake of his rib-tickling routine on this morning's "Today." Al, that inveterate card, actually claimed that the MSM's coverage of global warming is . . . too balanced.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Meredith Vieira interviewed Al as part of the show's "Green Week" extravaganza. After congratulating him on his Nobel, Vieira invited Gore to engage in some political payback:

MEREDITH VIEIRA: Back in 1992, the first President Bush called you "Ozone Man," he ridiculed your efforts to bring attention to climate change. He even called you crazy at one point, so is this vindication of a sort for you?

Al took the high road, claiming it wasn't about him. For that matter, why should it be vindication for a leftist to receive an award from a group of leftists, the same people who gave the peace prize to Yassir Arafat and the fraudulent Rigoberta Menchu?

A bit later, Vieira, to her credit, did challenge Gore.

MEREDITH VIEIRA: You know you shared the prize with scientists from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and one of those scientists, John Christy, wrote an op-ed last Thursday in the Wall Street Journal in which he criticized your dire predictions about the impact of global warming [in a flashback to Gore's disastrous 2000 debate with George Bush, Al could be seen and heard shaking his heard and uttering a loud "tsk"], he wrote: "I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming that we see." So what do you make of his assessment?

That's when Al launched into his comedy routine.

AL GORE: Well, he's an outlier. He no longer belongs to the IPCC, and he is way outside the scientific consensus. But Meredith, part of the challenge the news media has had in covering this story is the old habit of taking the "on the one hand, on the other hand" approach. There are still people who believe that the earth is flat. But when you're reporting on a story like the one you're covering today, where you have people all around the world, you don't take, you don't search out, for someone who still believes the earth is flat and give them equal time. And the reason the IPCC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the thousands of scientists who make up that group, have for almost twenty years now created a very strong scientific consensus, that is as strong a consensus as you'll ever see in science, that the climate crisis is real, human beings are responsible for it, the results will be very bad for the United States and for the entire world community, all human beings, unless we do something about it. And there is still time to solve it.

Of course Al didn't mention that the IIPC's vaunted consensus is for a sea-level increase of about 7-24 inches over the century, not the scare-mongering 20 feet that Gore projects. "Inconvenient Truth" would have been a lot less dramatic if Gore didn't use that alarmist assumption, permitting him to show much of Manhattan under water.

But I digress. Gore thinks the media's coverage has been too balanced, that they're giving too much time to people who don't buy into his sky-is-falling view of the world? You're killing me, Al. Let'start with NBC, the network where he was appearing, which is celebrating "Green Week," devoting 150 hours to pushing his environmentalist agenda on every one of its programs, from news to entertainment,even to football. ABC is no better. GMA weatherman Sam Champion is nothing less than a global-warming alarmist, and when Gore appeared on the show not long ago host Diane Sawyer bemoaned the fate of polar bears and sighed whether it was too late to save the world.

As we like to say, Al will be at the Laff Shack all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Giving too much time...

They think one or two stories from the non GW crowd is too much time.

I can't wait for the Earth to turn colder again.

They'll just say global

They'll just say global warming caused the cold just like in that stupid movie "the day after tomorrow".

Globalwarmingtology : Just Another Eco-militant Religion

Global warming is a lie, myth, and growing religion.

"Globalwarmingtology" is a pseudo-science of fact-mining and data-sifting to create misinformation and fear about regional, seasonal, and historical temperature variations. It's Bigfoot, Area 51, and the Loch Ness Monster all wrapped up into a nice little doom's day scenario that the MSM can market to the masses. There will be a sighting here and a sighting there, accusations of a government cover-up, and plenty of wackos to say "These things really DO exist!!", but it's still just smoke, mirrors, and theatrics.

Al Gore's Oscar

Al Gore never won an Oscar for anything.

The producer of that film won the oscar.

Algore is not the first. A

Algore is not the first. A couple of years ago, an environmental group (can't remember which one, but they're all interchangeable anyway) was decrying this "equal" coverage in the print media. They said we were at the point that it had become irresponsible to present the opposing view any more. After all, they reasoned, if you were doing a story on civil rights, you wouldn't feel obliged to provide a quote from David Duke, just to provide "balance."

He forgot to mention that

He forgot to mention that there is way too much freedom in this country too.  The only way for us to maintain our liberty is to conform, abandon disbelief, and blindly follow great leaders like Al Gore, who knows better than we do.

Our country is turning colder

Bloomberg- Distinguished Nobel Peace Prize winner Gore nightmare: Coal is so cheap US is exporting it.

Now that the price of coal is at a historic low relative to oil, there's no stopping consumers and producers alike from embracing Al Gore's nightmare.

A ton of U.S. coal is so cheap at about $47 that European utilities will pay $50 to ship it across the Atlantic, according to Galbraith's Ltd., a 263-year-old London shipbroker. While oil and coal cost the same as recently as 1998, West Texas Intermediate crude is five times more expensive after climbing to a record $96.24 on Nov. 1...

...To be sure, proposed U.S. coal plants may not be completed because of regulatory and environmental opposition. Kansas regulators last month rejected a permit for a coal-fueled plant because its carbon emissions were deemed a health hazard.

New cleaner-burning technologies for coal, such as one that converts the fuel to a synthetic gas, have been delayed or rejected as too costly. Financing new coal plants may also become more difficult as environmental groups step up efforts against lenders including Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp...

The ewackos have never interfered either with foreign drilling or nuclear production. I have always wondered how they would feel if America was permitted to do the same on the contingent that all production was supplied to foreign countries.

Where I live, yesterday's high was 54.  The record was 91 in 1975- back when the new Ice Age was all the rage.  The record low was -3, in 1991 - the beginning of Ozone Man's crusade.

It's silly of us Flat-Earthers to demand proof.

There are always winners and losers Al.

"... the results will be very bad for the United States and for the entire world community, all human beings ..."

Somebody should have told Greenland, Al. Seems like they're pretty happy with the warming climate: Warming Revives Flora and Fauna in Greenland.

“The old ones, they’re having a second youth,” said Mr. Bjerge, 78, who
has watched the forest, called Qanasiassat, come to life, in fits and
starts, since planting most of the trees in it 50 years ago. He beamed
like a proud grandson. “They’re growing again.”

But now that the climate is warming, it is not just old trees that are
growing. A Greenlandic supermarket is stocking locally grown
cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage this year for the first time. Eight
sheep farmers are growing potatoes commercially. Five more are
experimenting with vegetables. And Kenneth Hoeg, the region’s chief
agriculture adviser, says he does not see why southern Greenland cannot
eventually be full of vegetable farms and viable forests.

Please everybody, pump as much CO2 into the atmosphere as you possibly can. We owe it to the people of Greenland. :)

That's the thing

...all the global warming alarmnists have been saying nothing good can come out of this. So far their "sea levels will rise dramatically" haven't happened. Hurricanes will be stronger...we've had less. I can't think of any other bad things that they said would happen. With a warmer earth we could grow in more locations providing more food.

We NEED "Global" Warming

BINGO!!!!!

IF "global" warming DID exist, it should be WELCOMED and ENCOURAGED.

It would save hundreds of lives every year. It would extend growing seasons and eliminate "world" hunger. It would lower heating bills, use fewer "evil" hydrocarbons, cut man-made carbon emissions in half, and make more of this planet habitable and arable for humans. This planet NEEDS global warming, Mr. Al "Manbearpig" Gore!!!

What an intellectual idiot!! What a gargantuan jack_ss!!

"Balanced" means "not

"Balanced" means "not extreme", doesn't it? Could Gore be any more ignorant? You can't be "too balanced", by definition. What he really means, of course, is "not biased enough toward my position on the matter". Just another lying leftie trying to sell his propaganda.

"Too balanced"? This sounds

"Too balanced"? This sounds a lot like 1984 with a delay of about twenty three years...

AlGore

This interview is a prime example of what your kids go through in college classrooms every day. For me, AlGore brings back bad memories of those "professors" who will brook no dissent. He is right, anyone who disagrees is too ignorant to have another point of view. Sickening. The left is very dangerous. "Liberals" are fascists.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Al "consensus" Gore. He

Al "consensus" Gore. He sure does like that word, in this situation of course. Media's problem is balanced view? BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. We could only wish for a balance in media. And if there was, Al thinks on this there shouldn't be? This is how the Left works. Hype up something huge, then use the media to marginalize anyone who disagrees and make disagreement almost taboo. This is the only way most Leftist ideas can get through.

Neocon

Al's a neocon--artist.

Isn't this all supposed to be based on science?  Science doesn't reach an early conclusion and then close the books as evidence begins coming in at an accelerated pace.

Al Gore has a loud voice and a significant platform on which to speak.  But he is abusing them to promote a theory which is not only far from proven but downright dangerous because government (Kansas and the generators) is beginning to make very bad decisions on the basis of it without doing their own research.

Good point.

Gravity has been proven. No further research or incoming new data will be permitted.

Is there any "new data" on

Is there any "new data" on gravity? Just to remind you: Human-caused global warming is an hypothesis. Gravity isn't hypothetical.

The "liberal" way

This has been the "liberal" con game in America for the past four decades, at least. They make something up, then act as if it is fact and brook no dissent. They dismiss all the rules of logic.  It has worked for them on the social isssues. Now, however, they have run up against real science. When it comes to provable truth, they can't pull the wool over everyone's eyes so easily.  And it's making the nuts more nuts. They are in a hole but they'll never stop digging. Modern "liberals" are dangerous ideologues who lie to get their way. Don't be afraid of them, however. They are moral cowards. Fight on and...

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Wish Meredith would do some studying

Do you suppose Meredith took the time to actually read and understand Christy's WSJ editorial? If she had, she could have responded with a follow-up:

But Mr. Gore, isn't it true that Dr. Christy's work discredits the basic assumption of global climate models that assume enhanced water vapor and clouds will amplify the warming produced by greenhouse gas emissions? Isn't it true that his works shows the earth has a natural vent that allows excess heat to escape to outer space? It seems to me he has demonstrated that clouds and precipitation produce a strong negative feedback. What do you say, Mr. Gore?

Yeah, I know, just wishful thinking.

Has NBC issued Full Disclosure

....regarding their Big "Green" week to draw national attention to all the perils that man has created for the planet? And the fact that their parent GE stands to gain untold Billions with it's selling and marketing their "Ecomagination" which would result in the purchase of new turbine engines for the Worlds Power Plants, New Locomotive Engines etc., and that's just scratching the surface. Just wondering!

The New Science

Well, he's an outlier. He no longer belongs to the IPCC, and he is way outside the scientific consensus.

In other words, algore is saying this man is an apostate, that he's abandoned the faith, and that his learned opinion should be discarded. I'll have none of that science, please and thank you.

Algore CONTINUE TO MENTION FLAT EARTH, OVER AND OVER

 LMAO

Entitlement over infrastructure every SINGLE time.

 

Moron Alert!

  People actually wanted this buffoon for president?

 

Where is NBC?

 WHere is NBC as a news organization?  The Greener than Thou network refused to ask Gore questions he should be required to answer. I'd love to hear his response to the disclaimers the judge order, in Britain, before his Gorebal Warming movie could be shown to kids.  You'd think they could have asked him to explain one of two of them.  Why are they protecting him?  Talk about a lack of intellectual curiosity!
