gore's criticism stings. he's a nobel laureate and environmentalist hero. >> temperature increases are taking place -- >> reporter: who sounded the alarm with his academy award-winning movie. and was a big supporter of candidate barack obama in 2008. >> yes, we can. ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united states of america, barack obama. >> reporter: for gore, there is no more important issue than climate change. and it's not just warming temperatures or melting polar ice caps. gore sees recent floods, tornadoes, and even snow storms as symptoms of man-made climate change. continuing on our current course, he writes, would be suicidal for global civilization. gore blames obama for failing to push for a big climate bill that failed last year in the senate. instead, gore writes, the president made concessions to oil and coal companies without asking for anything in return. in an interview with diane sawyer in november 2009, gore had an entirely different view of president obama. >> president obam

glen hurowitz, is al gore right? >> he is right. unfortunately environmentalists got the sense that president obama was not fully fighting for the climate and for the urgent environmental needs that we have during the debate over climate legislation when he cut side deals with the oil industry, the coal industry, the nuclear industry without getting anything in return in terms of a commitment to support a cap on pollution or investment in clean-energy jobs. that was rumor that he was seeing other people but we really got confirmation when he embraced a broad agenda of drilling for oil offshore in the gulf, now looking to do in the very sensitive ecological areas in alaska. we saw it when he opened up huge areas for coal mining in wyoming it's about 30 times the amount of coal mining as clean energy that his installation has installed. he's also stalled clean air act that will have benefits and are aimed at protecting public health like mercury, smog and soot so there's been a real series of attacks on the environment coming from the

i've talked to gore about this, and gore has talked to other people. first of all, we all have an equal right to run for election, and why do they put the wrap on the green party candidate for? i mean, do these two parties own all the voters? don't we want the voters to have more choice, the way they did, say, in the 19th century and the antislavery party, and the women's right to vote party, labor, farmer, progressive parties? it's harder and harder now for small parties and independents just to get on the ballet. all kinds of petition requirements, all kinds of obstacles. but gore, of course, won the popular vote, so we have this monstrosity that you can come in second and become president because of the electoral college, so... >> hinojosa: which frankly, you know, when people talk about the greatest democracy, and america is the greatest democracy, it doesn't seem to make any sense. >> not one american has ever voted for a human being for president since the history of the country-- can you imagine that? they vote for the electors in the electoral

then bless your al gore in which case read away gore's concern that people are poisoning the planet with their private jets and thirty thousand dollar your utility bills who are a fan of telling people how to live is also proud father to a large family of four but don't let that stop you from making the right decision there plebian please do not procreate now and state controlled china the one child policy which you have maybe it's a stretch for my view where this is going as a detrimental effects already with many sex selective abortions performed in the case of female fetuses the policy in the blowback from it that has created a looming life sort of now with twenty four million more bachelors and bachelorettes which is maybe why you've seen so many raging protesters in china these days maybe we should be more worried that they'll invade us in search of women rather than some kind of that the fart if we can convince the populace that big government is evil on the grounds of war or monetary debasement maybe revealing the mechanics of state sponsored cock blocking will do the trick. and w

al gore knows why in the most recent edition of rolling stone magazine gore penned an essay titled climate of denial why it is global warming is still question in america and not viewed here is a fact of life as in most other nations on the planet the analogy to gore uses spot on has to do with professional wrestling to someone just watching professional wrestling for the first time it seems real guys look like they're just beating the snot out of each other there's blood groans of agony kasia all serious injuries one of the tip offs but it's all fake it's all a show it's how the referee acts if wrestling was real the referee would be on point and impartial fulfilling his duty like any other referee in professional sports baseball basketball football or wrestling the referee is just a character playing an important role in the scripted theatricals inside the rink ever notice that any time the bad guy is breaking the rules like smashing his opponent's skull with a metal chair the referee seems to be distracted. when the good guy finally i'll drive the bad guy and lays on top of him for the

that is what al gore was trying to do. never worked with a person -- have no vested interest in this. one of the things he recognized in the late a.d.s was that global climate change is a scientific and political and economic problem. he understood you can't get too far end when you have an issue involving complex science it is challenging because you can't ask people to act politically if they don't understand why they are being asked to act. in the case of climate change people need to understand something about the science. he took it as part of his task to learn the science and spend time with scientists. he spent time with a lot of scientists that i know. he does read scientific articles. whether he understands them i don't know. try to explain the science in language people could understand. for exactly this reason. it is not too far in front. it is an important issue because without the science we wouldn't really know what we need to do because we could solve our energy problems in the united states with coal and na

where they disagree on politics but i imagine it's not terribly different than you know al gore is no no general election you know at the end of the day i don't expect the goldman to become a democracy now but i think that has more to do with what he's interested in talking about and where his focus lies and less about there's going to be any management saying you can't discuss this and you can't discuss that because i really do think there's going to be. there is a big difference in haiti. the model going forward i think our independent media in the future. is not going to be based on one specific revenue model but i do think it's going to be more independent going forward and they're not going to be as many landmines. but on that note i mean wouldn't it be more productive to take whatever amount of money that's going to be a skype or maybe you know use that for independent man on the street journalist that really do that kind of grassroots reporting that that's that's moving the country away from a persona based following or as i just unrealistic because you know it's personas i gue

the same time just to push back a little bit i mean this is still a you know the brainchild of al gore whether you agree with us politics or not he is by all accounts an established elite insider if it's not the equivalent of state democracy now or some more grassroots funded organization so could we really expect a change in the message and you know see this as a real alternative media frenzy or well you know i mean i actually think so i mean i don't go you know i don't go either al gore or goldman enough. where they disagree on policy but i imagine it's not fair. different than you know al gore is no no general election you know at the end of the day i don't expect development to be from democracy now but i think that has more to do with what he's interested in talking about and where his focus lies and less about there's going to be any management saying you can't discuss this and. i really do think there's going to be. there is a big difference but on that note i mean wouldn't it be more productive to take whatever amount of money that's going to be advising maybe you know use that

in my view, that's something the media ought to be focusing more on rather than vice president gore's disappointment in the fact that president obama isn't giving enough speeches about global warming. >> ifill: and to correctly characterize his argument, it was more of an attack on the media for not making the case than an attack on president obama. >> 98 scientists here, two scientist there is against saying that doesn't happen and they both get equal time. >> ifill: are we having the right arguement. are the climate skeptics being given too much? too little? no attention. >> we're beginning to have right argument, which is interesting. you have to "new york times," an environmental reporter seriously upset over the fact that the u.n. i.p.c.c. intergovernmental panel on climate change let a report on renewable energy be written by the sierra club. this is a huge scandal of unprecedented proportions. and some of the environmental left reporting community are furious. are livid over what's been done and the discrediting that's going happen to the entire u.n. environmental movement. so
