Just to clarify, he did not invent the internet. It was Tim Berners-Lee. TBL, born 1955, is currently a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com Founders Chair at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is also a Knight Commander (second-highest rank in the Order of the British Empire). Wiki him. While you're at it, look up Philo T. Farnsworth. He invented the television. These are good guys to know about.
Al Gore probably made that claim because he, like most people, does not know who actually invented the Internet. And continues to make sure it stays royalty-free. We (should) all owe him a lot. But he chose not to profit from it. Thanks Tim!
A big fat windbag who benefits financially by convincing everyone that "Global Warming" is an actual issue to worry about, even though the changing output of the sun is what causes our variable global temperature, and CO2 only comprises .03% of our atmosphere -- mostly from natural sources like volcanos.
Oh my god, your Prius is so rad. Yes, I bought this piece of shit because Al Gore is a god and he made me see the light of my evil carbon footprint. Now I can feel pious in my piece of shit Prius and snub my nose at all you poor slobs who drive Chevys.
