Take Back Al Gore's Oscar, Two Academy Members Demand In Light Of "Climategate"
LA Times:
No, it wouldn't do anything for the environment.
But two Hollywood conservatives (yes, there are some) have called on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the prestigious, profitable gold Oscar statuette that it gave ex-Vice President Al Gore two years ago for the environmental movie "An Inconvenient Truth."
Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, both Academy members, are among a small, meandering pack of known political conservatives still believed to be on the loose in the liberal bastion of movie-making.
In 2007, the Academy sanctified Gore's cinematic message of global warming with its famous statue, enriched his earnings by $100,000 per 85-minute appearance and helped elevate the Tennessean's profile to win the Nobel Peace Prize despite losing the election battle of 2000 to a Texan and living in a large house with lots of energy-driven appliances.
Chetwynd and Simon were prompted to make their hopeless demand this week by the ...
... leak two weeks ago of a blizzard of British academic e-mails purporting to show that scientists at the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit systematically falsified data to document the appearance of global warming in recent years.
The university is reportedly investigating the claims, which added dry fuel to the never-ending political debate over whether the Earth really is warming as a result of human activity or if it's just normal natural cycles and the debate is what's heated. The demand to withdraw Gore's award provides yet another opportunity to argue.
The startling leak comes at an inconvenient time, just before next week's United Nations climate change meeting, which will cause an immense carbon footprint with thousands of people flying up or over to Denmark to talk about saving the environment.
These airplanes will include Air Force One with its primary passenger, President Obama, who's returning to the Copenhagen scene where he didn't help win the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, which could do with a little global warming at this time of year.
Simon, a screenwriter who is also chief executive officer of Pajamas Media, a network of conservative online blogs, conceded he knew of no precedent for the Academy withdrawing a previously awarded Oscar, despite decades of Hollywood high jinks and worse. But, he added, "I think they should rescind this one."

Al Gore cancels his trip to Copenhagen, the climate bill in Australia's parliament goes down in flames, and now we have Sen. Barbara Boxer upset about email leaks suppressing scientific evidence...................not the content?
They almost pulled this crap off, but now I hope they get what they deserve. Maybe Gore and all these other hypocrites can live the rest of their lives on an iceberg.........where polar bears will be free to dine on their flesh. Some will still push this phony agenda, as it is their lifelong fantasy, but now they're diggin' their own graves by doing so.
Hi Skepdick,
Welcome to my blog.
I think Obama just announced he isnt going to Copenhagen either for some weird reason
INVESTIGATE! INVESTIGATE!
An undeserved Oscar to a very undeserving moron! They should also demand that Gore return the millions of dollars he has made off of the Global Warming fraud.
I agree Ken,
As well as his Nobel Peace Prize!
No one seems to be calling for any of this seriously, but I AM!!!!
Maybe Al Gore's Academy Award can go into the Fiction section?
Amy,
LOL!
can u believe this garbage Marie..pffttt!!!
YEAH !! They should put Gore's Oscar next to the WMDs we found in Iraq!
Ooops...we didn't find any :-(
algore has always had trouble understanding the truth. What he does know is that he made a whole big pot of money from idiots that believed his global baloney scam. As they say "the jig is up"
And while we're at it, take back the Oscar given to Sean Penn as Best Actor in "Milk". Mickey Rourke wasmuch better in "The Wrestler".
Gore and Obama are 2 peas in a pod. When they stops the endless, meaningless platitudes and the whining and looks me in the eye and tells the truth, then I will consider considering his words.
Just like Tiger Woods, Obama is a manufactured media personality who has left a trail of dirty laundry, but wants us to continue to worship his potential.
H
Oscar for Al gore and Nobel for Obama...wow!!Wonder what is it that these honors stand for--Frauds...scams..???what??
