Freeper columnist gives Al Gore a C- for his documentary


Arizona Republic columnist, Robert Robb, today, gave Al Gore’s Oscar winner a C- for straying from the scientific consensus as expressed in the most recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, but can Robb deny that the documentary is opening the eyes of millions of people around the world to the realities of global warming.

Wasn’t that the purpose of Gore’s film in the first place? So, it looks as if his mission was accomplished! I give him an A+ for effort.

2. That is interesting. Is the freeper just getting around to seeing the
video; if so, he can just shut up. Actually in any case he can just shut up. Do the freepers know something we do not...as in Al will run. They sure are trying to take him down a peg.

6. Al Gore will be in Arizona on April 2nd
To give his Inconvenient Truth slide show live at Arizona State University. My daughter who is a student there excitedly called me today to tell me she'd bought her ticket. Tickets go on sale to the public in a couple of days.

Maybe that's why Robb is now giving Gore a "grade" for the documentary. Freepers see Al Gore as a big threat.

That trumps everything.

Agreed. Don't we have enough clowns? The corporatists need to be more like mimes.
