No, not during the Academy Awards the other night. But since his movie won for best documentary, I thought it might be appropriate to remind everyone of something I transcribed back in June 2006 on my lunch hour while watching Charlie Rose interview Al Gore:
CHARLIE ROSE: But are you saying, based on what you just said, that, in fact, some of the best scientists you talk to
VICE PRESIDENT GORE: Yeah.
CHARLIE ROSE: — uh, step forward to you and say, “this [catastrophic human-induced global warming] is what I believe,”
VICE PRESIDENT GORE: Yeah.
CHARLIE ROSE: “and this is what I think is the reality,”
VICE PRESIDENT GORE: Yes.
CHARLIE ROSE: “but we can’t quite prove it yet to the rest of the scientific community.”
VICE PRESIDENT GORE: That’s right.
CHARLIE ROSE: That’s what they’re saying.
VICE PRESIDENT GORE: Yeah. But science thrives on uncertainty, by its nature….”
“Science thrives on uncertainty?!!” I just about choked on my sandwich.
This is a good article that my friend sent to me about Gore and how he is all talk, no walk
