Gore Banks Green from Green

91. Gore's requirements are certainly not out of the ordinary for an A-level speaker. Clinton's is even more restrictive, as is Alan Greenspan's.

92. $100k isn't the big espense that day, they also had to pay for his food. It must take a lot to stay that fat.

93. I support Al Gore and his efforts. he deserves those minor perks. I dont see any Republicans caring about the environment.

94. And tell me just why I should believe you. You have nothing to support your so called facts. Tell my why he should be working for free? You don't. Why should he get any less than Guiliani for his speeches? Why should he travel any differently from a Republican. How is he supposed to get across the country? On a bike? Your accusations are ridiculous and you are nothing but a RW radical mouth piece.

95. buzzed off,You say Clinton let our men get picked off. How many? How many have been killed under Herr Bush watch? And for global warming,a British subject just swam for a hour at the north pole,first time ever. Does that show anything different about the temperature of the poles being a little different? Remember this was the first time ever!

97. AL GORE BROUGHT INTO LIGHT SOME THING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CAREFULLY BUT HIS BOTTOM LINE IS ALL WRONG. iS MAN THE MAIN CAUSE FOR GLOBAL WARMING???? THIS FACT IS BEING DISPUTED BY HUNDREDS OF SCIENTISTS WORLDWIDE. 1-THE UN SAYS THAT LIVESTOCK CAUSES MORE GASES THAT CAUSE MORE GLOBAL WARMING THEN ALL MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION BY MAN-WORLDWIDE STUDY WAS DONE BY UNIVERSITY ON REQUEST ON UN.2-GROUP OF SCIENTISTS IN NORTHERN EUROPE SAY ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUN IS WHAT CAUSES MAJOR CLIMATE CHANGES ON EARTH. IT WAS CHANGES IN 70'S THAT HAD SCIENTIESTS WORLDWIDE SAYING WE WERE GOING INTO ANOTHER ICE AGE. 3-CHINA HAD NOW BECOME THE THE LARGEST MAKER OF GRENHOUSE GASES IN THE WORLD. UNDER THE GORE'S GRENIES CHINA WOULD BE EXEMPT AT CONTROLLING THEIR RELEASES OF GREENHOUSE GASES.SECENT STUDIES BY USA SCIENTISTS ON THE WEST COAST HAVE PROVEN THAT HALF OF THE GREENHOUSE GASSES PRESENT ON THE WEST COAST ARE COMING FROM CHINA. ALL THI TALK ABOUT GREENHOUSE GASSES, WHO IS AT FAULT, WHAT CAN BE DONE, CARBON CREDIT ARE IS A LOT OF HOT AIR NOT BACKED BY REAL FACTS

100. If he is truly concerned about the environment, he should tone down his lifestyle a little bit. Live in a smaller, more efficient house, get rid of the heated pool, etc... I don't care that he asks for perks - although one would think the $1000 for whatever is a bit much - and I don't care that he charges $100,000 for speaking engagements. If people can pay him that much, it's up to them. I wouldn't go hear him speak for free. I think he's rather dull.

On another note, I don't think it's a bad thing that he brought global warming to the consciousness of the public but frankly, I don't think it'll do any good. It's the PC movement of the moment. I don't think those concerts made any difference and certainly, nearly every single performer is a hypocrite when it comes to this issue.

101. I finally figured out which party Harvey Levin is associated with! If you were to read the "rider" for any political candidate or entertainer working today, you would find all of these requests quite common. Shame on you for showing your Republican't stripes!!!!!

103.
Oh pulllease. What the hell TMZ? For every nasty and cruel thing you have done, this man has contributed a thousand positives. He raises consciousness - you just lower it.

If you're gonna get political, why not go after the real bad guys?

104. UCSD paid $100,000 to send a message to its students that the University is environmentally conscious - to educate them further. Does it seem like a better "waste of money" now?
