That's
Dr. Gore To You, Pal: Another American Nobel Peace Prize
Winner
3 March 2010By Keith Johnson
Break out your signs and bullhorns ladies and
gentlemen, because climate fraudster Al Gore is set to
receive an honorary doctorate from the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville. The announcement, posted on the
UT, Knoxville website on Friday states “Former Vice
President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore will be
honored by UT Knoxville with only the third honorary
degree granted by the campus. Gore will receive the
degree — an Honorary Doctor of Laws and Humane Letters
in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology — at the spring
commencement exercises of the College of Arts and
Sciences on May 14. He will be the featured speaker at
the ceremony, addressing graduates and their families
along with the gathered faculty.”
Already the firestorm of protests has begun to
circulate on the web. A recent poll conducted by
Knoxnews.com asks “Should UT Knoxville present Al Gore
with an honorary doctoral degree?” As of this writing,
83% have responded “NO” while only 15% responded
“YES”. Comments on the site are overwhelmingly
negative. “Honoring Gore with this would be a
travesty. This is a man who manipulated data and used
sources that have been proven to be purveyors of false
information to forward a cause that has made him a
multimillionaire. If you want to give a reward for
fiction writing, that would be the only reason for the
award.” writes one poster. Yet another writes “I have
two degrees from the The University of Tennessee and
if they give Al Gore any kind of "honorary degree", I
will mail both of them back.” This is seems to be the
consensus among those responding to the announcement.
Gore has already received one honorary doctorate in
2007 from the Concordia University in Montreal,
Canada. Prior to the presentation, Gore gave a speech
on climate change and was repeatedly heckled by
audience members shouting “liar and villain,” and
screaming, “what about your swimming pools,” in
reference to the monthly electricity bill of his
estate equal to a year’s bill for the average American
home. Then as Concordia President Claude Lajeunesse
took the stage to present the honor, more boos and
screams emanated from the audience that resulted in a
question and answer period following the ceremony to
be cancelled. Earlier in 2007, Gore was considered as
a possible nominee for a similar honor from the
University of Minnesota. But that never materialized.
As was reported in a recent article appearing on
FOXNEWS.com entitled “You can call him Al…But Al Won’t
Call You Back” by Gene J. Koprowski “Since his
appearance at the Copenhagen climate summit in
December, Gore has been reluctant to talk to the
media, making only a handful of public appearances.”
It’s understandable why Gore has persistened to lay
low since the revelations of fraud and deception by
the University of East Anglias Climate Research Unit
and “climategate” scandal that erupted in November,
2009. Ever since then, hockey-stick Al has been
plagued by a stigma that has followed him wherever he
goes. At a November book signing in Chicago, members
of the activist group We Are Change confronted Gore on
the manipulated data and why the IPCC hasn’t released
any reports on sunspot activity. Gore’s goons promptly
swarmed the activists and removed them from the
premises. Later that month, in Boca Raton, Florida, a
crowd of hundreds of protestors repeatedly booed and
heckled Gore as he tried to give a global warming
speech at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre.
Now we have another opportunity to shout down this
vicious criminal. But before that happens, there still
remains a chance of subverting this travesty by making
our voices heard and letting the staff of the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville know that the vast
majority of Americans stand opposed to letting this
come to pass. Call the University at 865-974-3265 or
email Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek at chancellor@utk.edu.
