Al Gore on “Saturday Night Live”: “I’m Gonna Start Acting Crazy.”

After climategate I reckon he will start having to act crazy to get us to believe that scientists really didn't try to skew the science.

what does "i'm gonna start acting crazy means"? hell i thought he was already that way.

that was sweet. we need more of that on t.v.

Is it odd that these tactics don't seem that crazy to me?

Well, I think we have gotten to the bottom of this story now.

I googled "Govt-Funded Research Unit Destroyed Original Climate Data" and found the reference to the CRU destroying their raw data.
Now the hacking makes sense. This had to be an inside job. Someone who witnessed these guys manufacturing then destroying data turned them in.
I never thought I would say this, but this hacker is my hero. He deserves the Nobel prize for saving the World.

Govt-Funded Research Unit Destroyed Original Climate Data
CEI Petitions EPA to Reopen Global Warming Rulemaking

Washington, D.C., October 6, 2009―In the wake of a revelation by a key research institution that it destroyed its original climate data, the Competitive Enterprise Institute petitioned EPA to reopen a major global warming proceeding.

In mid-August the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) disclosed that it had destroyed the raw data for its global surface temperature data set because of an alleged lack of storage space. The CRU data have been the basis for several of the major international studies that claim we face a global warming crisis. CRU’s destruction of data, however, severely undercuts the credibility of those studies.

In a declaration filed with CEI’s petition, Cato Institute scholar and climate scientist Patrick Michaels calls CRU’s revelation “a totally new element” that “violates basic scientific principles, and “throws even more doubt” on the claims of global warming alarmists.

CEI’s petition, filed late Monday with EPA, argues that CRU’s disclosure casts a new cloud of doubt on the science behind EPA’s proposal to regulate carbon dioxide. EPA stopped accepting public comments in late June but has not yet issued its final decision. As CEI’s petition argues, court rulings make it clear that agencies must consider new facts when those facts change the underlying issues.

CEI general counsel Sam Kazman stated, “EPA is resting its case on international studies that in turn relied on CRU data. But CRU’s suspicious destruction of its original data, disclosed at this late date, makes that information totally unreliable. If EPA doesn’t reexamine the implications of this, it’s stumbling blindly into the most important regulatory issue we face.”

Among CRU’s funders are the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy – U.S. taxpayers.

You need to rest it, it's embarrassing.
What a coincidence all of these skeptics belong to the Heartland Institute which gets funding from EXXON.

The desperation is duly noted.

I sure hope he runs again ........

I don't care how many BS e-mails more than likely set up by paid operatives there are. It is obvious deniers are desperate and are willing to do anything to try to push denial of something that is obvious. Actually, you are all quite pathetic. Again, if you need a piece of paper to tell you this, you're an idiot.

Jan neet thing is its not just one email its 1073 emails,not a bad sample size,the added bonus is that smearing AlGore is just a collateral benefit.Cheers

PS-Missed me Jan? lol

Frimer:

If you need an e-mail to tell you whether climate change is real or not, you're an idiot. And smearing Al Gore proves this is not about the planet to you or any other partisan fool.

yes... i likes.... that was funny!

Thanks, Al, I enjoyed that.

We need things like this to keep our morale up. I was feeling pretty down, because I live in New England and it's been in the 60's all through November and people keep saying "Nice weather!"

(Whistling in the dark.)

Al, please call me when you need help planting the trees. I'm very good with duct tape.

I don't really like SNL but I like the toy gun thing.

Stupid. SNL is horrible.

Crazy seems to be "in" as far as this country goes.

Go Al!

How about it, Mr. Gore?

The exchange of emails between prestigious scientists revealed by hackers regarding global warming makes al gore look like a bitch. but i agree with him. for the most part

I love Al Gore.

maybe factory farm more trees?Ooooh I know
Place used tp around the gun toting trees for extra fertilizer that'll get the gears churning.

Great dead-pan delivery!
Good message all the way around. Even the toy gun idea:)

Plant a billion trees. Even better save a billion 100 year old trees.

Very good video, and I'll be dropping the melting glacier water on few heads that I know.

"i'm taping toy guns to trees" haha
