Transcript: Al Gore Got ‘D’ in ‘Natural Sciences’ at Harvard

(CNSNews.com) - In his commencement speech at Hamilton College on Sunday, former Vice President Al Gore told the graduates that global warming is “the most serious challenge our civilization has ever faced.” But as an undergraduate at Harvard University in the late 1960s, Gore--one of the most prominent spokesmen on climate change today--earned a “D” in Natural Sciences.

Gore’s transcript documents that during his sophomore year at Harvard he earned a "D" in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature). Also, as a senior at Harvard, he earned a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118.

Gore, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work on global warming.

For his college board achievement tests, Gore earned a 488 (out of 800) in physics, and a 519 (out of 800) in chemistry. Gore’s academic records were first obtained and reported on by reporters David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima at The Washington Post in March 2000.

Gore did relatively well, however, on the SAT, earning 1355 (out of 1600). For comparison, George W. Bush got 1206 on the SAT.

President Barack Obama has not released his academic records. He first attended Occidental College and then transferred in 1981 to Columbia University, where he earned his B.A. He later went to Harvard Law School and earned his J.D. in 1991.

Might be Why Barry doesn't want anyone to see his stuff.

Is it any wonder? He's a crook, trying to gouge the average American with his money grab.

The glaciers are sure to stop melting when they hear this news.

But the fallacy of man-made global warming will start to evaporate even faster...

Well, GW is much more of a cult than science, so it's good.

And you are suggesting that the glaciers are melting because of global warming?

Global warming is not a cult. It is science.

Here is the science at about College level of understanding.

I have an A in every science class I have ever taken (exclucing the incomplete when I got sick). And that includes biology, chemistry, physics, meteorology and geology at 4 different educational institutions.

If you have trouble with it yourself ask someone who does have some training in this area to review the science.

I wasn't referring to the actual measuring of global temperatures. That's science. I was referring to the belief that man is responsible for it (this time).

And yet you read the article so quickly and didn't digest the direct connection between concentration of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and temperature.

Or that it's effect would be catastrophic, which has no basis in reality.

Not everything you read is true.

Seeing that the article had nothing directly to say about historical measurements of temperatures (which are about to substantiated by Dr Muller who thought the rise in temperature could be urban heat sink effect and found not the case) or with the increase in CO 2 (directly atttibutable to the burning of fossil fuels by the isotope ratios of combustion vs respiration of plants).

I didn't read the article.

Is man the only source of greenhouse gases? Are greenhouse gases the only reason that air temperatures rise?

Physically prove it wrong otherwise shut up about what is valid. Excuse the bluntness but your statement is about as polite. Just a bit more passive aggressive.
