But most importantly, when that day comes and it will be no longer possible to listen to heavy metal in any way that dude with the nobel peace prize will be remembered by a bunch of very angry metal heads as the guy who tried to ban it all together in the 80s.
geez... why won't I let that go?
He was on futurama...

Seriously though, global warming (as caused by emissions) is a subject in scientific debate. Not a fact. If it is disproved, will Gore's award be taken away?
As for inventing the internet- DARPA also put fireflies in jars and sent them to Viet Nam to detect people underground. Why isn't Gore claiming involvement in any of DARPA's other research?

(However, since I share your views in some ways, I can highly recommend the Crichton book, State of Fear. It uses actual facts to be educational, and is a good read, too. It's amazing how people will latch onto some things and believe them no matter what the evidence to the contrary is.)

EDIT: I guess that was a stupid question. http://en.wikipedia....ing_controversy
I don't have time to read it right now, but it's the first source I've seen that acknowledges a lack of consensus, rather than just dismissing the other side as bunk. Or at least appears to be. I mean, "There are questions regarding the proportion of scientists who agree or disagree on the existence of human-caused warming." How much more vague can you get? It's like they're saying it they don't know how disputed it is, if indeed it is disputed.

I was a pretty hardcore Man Is Eating the Environment defender until I read that book, I really recommend it - it's a pretty good story, too, so it's not like you'll be bored reading it.

Here's one of his speeches on it:
Crichton Speech on GW
There's more stuff on the website, mostly quite readable.
