It all goes back to the mainstream media I guess. Investigative reporters could have debunked the crazy theory promoted by a failed politician who thought he could make a killing by selling fake "carbon credits" and punish the Country that failed to elect him president. Al Gore had no background in science. He was the pampered offspring of a segregationist bigot. He served in Vietnam in the typewriter corps but couldn't take even a year in harms way and petitioned the Chaplain for an early release from duty. His tour in government was relatively benign except when he was caught red handed breaking the law by soliciting political contributions from a phone bank in the White House. After government service he allegedly lived in a compound that used as much electrical energy as a small town but that didn't matter to the mainstream media. The Nobel Prize people wanted to bestow their modern sainthood on a defeated democrat politician but they couldn't award the science prize to Gore or risk humiliation so they awarded the "peace prize" for the first time in history to a former U.S. Vice President citing some forgotten accomplishment. Wouldn't you know the V.P. of the pervert in chief would turn out to be a sexual abuser himself. Citizen Gore was arrested for sexual abuse but the charges became obscure and the victim disappeared.
