February 15, 201016 yr Donald Trump: Climate campaigner Al Gore 'should be stripped of Nobel Peace Prize after record snow storms' By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 8:27 PM on 15th February 2010 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Sceptic: Straight-talking tycoon Donald Trump attacked Al Gore's policies on climate change Donald Trump has called for Al Gore to be stripped of the Nobel Peace prize he was awarded for campaigning on climate change. The billionaire tycoon said record-breaking snow storms proved that the former US Vice-President was wrong on global warming, and that policies aimed at tackling carbon emissions were harming America's economy. His comments follow a string of high-profile attacks on climate change advocates. Scientists have been forced to defend themselves after embarrassing admissions that some of their evidence was faulty. Gore has become one of the world's leading global warming activists since his documentary An Inconvenient Truth became a surprise hit in 2006. He was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. But Trump, who hosts the US version of The Apprentice, said the Nobel Committee should now strip him of the award following one of the worst ever winters in eastern America. He said in a speech: 'With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore.' Campaigner: Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 He added: 'Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn't care less. 'It would make us totally non-competitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity.' A crowd of 500 at the businessman's Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, New York, stood up and cheered the remarks, the New York Post reported. Washington DC and surrounding areas were buried under more than two feet of snow last week in blizzards that President Barack Obama dubbed 'Snowmageddon'. But organisers of the Winter Olympics 3,000 miles away in Vancouver, Canada, had to ship in extra snow to ensure the games could go ahead despite unseasonably warm weather. Many scientists have gone to great lengths to explain that the record snowfalls do not disprove man-made global warming, while some have even said climate change could have contributed to the storms. But they face a growing movement of climate change sceptics in Britain and the US. The scientific community has been forced onto the back foot following claims that climate data has been 'manipulated' to bolster the case for action on carbon emissions. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has resisted calls for his resignation after the body admitted a series of mistakes, including a false claim included in an influential report that Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. Snowmageddon: Washington DC has been hit by record-breaking blizzards The panel has been mired in controversy since the leaking of emails from the climate change unit at The University of East Anglia, which appeared to show that data used to bolster the IPCC's claims had been manipulated. Critics also claim the UEA's researchers acted to stop papers they did not like from being published in journals and refused to share their data with sceptics. This week the unit's former head Professor Phil Jones, performed a majot u-turn and admitted there had been no 'statistically significant' global warming in the last 15 years. And new research cast serious doubt on temperature records from around the world which have been used as evidence for global warming.

February 15, 201016 yr It's snowing. There definitely mustn't be globab warming. Escpecially since Australia has been in drought for the last decade.
February 15, 201016 yr Author It's snowing. There definitely mustn't be globab warming. Escpecially since Australia has been in drought for the last decade. Aha! But the "big freeze" could be just round the corner!:P
February 15, 201016 yr "strait-talking tycoon":laugh3: Sure, Donald is just oh-so-pure as the driven snow!! >>Weather is highly variable, and if climate change predictions bear out, weather will be come more chaotic as time goes on. Chaotic: [Gr., space] extremely confused or disordered. Hence more variability! << Nero fiddles while Rome burns, all because he only sees the smoke, not the fire.
February 16, 201016 yr It's snowing. There definitely mustn't be globab warming. Escpecially since Australia has been in drought for the last decade. We had snow in January on the Vic alps, Bryce. Something that is EXTREMELY unusual, we only get snow cover in winter.
February 16, 201016 yr :laugh3: Toupe' animals are de-furred each year using barber shears in some far-off land.. and then they hear, the ubiquitous "you're fired!" from Trump himself..
February 16, 201016 yr We had snow in January on the Vic alps, Bryce. Something that is EXTREMELY unusual, we only get snow cover in winter. exactly. the weather is eradic.
February 16, 201016 yr How long before people realized the sun was a fusion process, not combustion? Looking back, it's little wonder of the refusal to accept theories of more complicated nuanced complex systems over limited individual observations. But I do wonder where it is all headed. If the models are correct, or if they lack more correlating evidence, and a finer understanding of all the tipping points.. Science without learned skepticism isn't really science. It's hard to test a hypothesis on a planet, even with the best of systems modeling.
February 16, 201016 yr exactly. the weather is eradic. Well, I thought your post was sarcasm with the last part... perhaps it wasn't.

Exactly, as the "evidence" that exists only goes back decades, as opposed to the millions of years that would be needed to come up with anything even approaching "accurate".:dozey:
February 16, 201016 yr Nero fiddles while Rome burns, all because he only sees the smoke, not the fire. Couldn't have put it better myself, must remember that for next argument with ignorant classmates :P Donald Trump should be stripped of whatever dead animal sits atop his head. I'm guessing an octopuss, or maybe Mickey Mouse
February 17, 201016 yr Damn:cry:, I had just bought some hemp sandals and ordered a Prius and everything:laugh3:
February 17, 201016 yr Jesus Christ, how can a man with so much money and power come out with something as retarded as this?
February 18, 201016 yr I lol at people who think global warming means that everywhere will suddenly be sweltering.
February 18, 201016 yr Jesus Christ, how can a man with so much money and power come out with something as retarded as this? I guess he can afford to every now and then I lol at people who think global warming means that everywhere will suddenly be sweltering. Then why on earth is it called "global warming" if temperatures are not rising faster than normal. Or do you prefer "climate change"
February 18, 201016 yr It follows him to take into mind that Al Gore talked not about global warming mainly, rather he told about a global climate change.
February 18, 201016 yr Author Ivana Trump has probably contributed to a lot of "global warming" herself with all her cosmetic surgery and extravagant lifestyle......................... :rolleyes:
February 18, 201016 yr Have any Iraqis or Afghans been killed by American soldiers since Obama won the peace prize?
February 18, 201016 yr Ivana Trump has probably contributed to a lot of "global warming" herself with all her cosmetic surgery and extravagant lifestyle......................... :rolleyes: Didn't realise having surgery caused climate change :/
