ClimateGate Scandal Grows: Hollywood Academy Members Want Al Gore’s Oscar Rescinded
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on December 4, 2009
Because ClimateGate’s damning evidence that global warming is one gigantic scientific hoax keeps growing and GROWING, some of Hollywood’s Academy members are demanding that Al Gore’s precious, coveted Oscar for his film An Inconvenient Truth be rescinded.
Hand over the golden statuette, Al.
Holy moly, who saw this coming? More popcorn, please.
From Los Angeles Times:
Take back Al Gore’s Oscar, 2 Academy members demand in light of Climategate
December 4, 2009No, it wouldn’t do anything for the environment.
But two Hollywood conservatives (yes, there are some) have called upon 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, Hollywood’s 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 Tennesseean’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 that 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 hijinks and worse. But, he added, “I think they should rescind this one.”
From Michelle Malkin: The power of ClimateGate: Al Gore forced to sacrifice Copenhagen cash cow:
The chill wind of ClimateGate has blown over Al Gore’s $1,200-per handshake lecture at Copenhagen. He has canceled the hot-air hoedown.
ClimateDepot dubbed the crumbling global warming conference next week “Nopenhagen.”
From Watts Up With That?:
It seems the uncertainty about Copenhagen is growing. When Al baby pulls the plug, you know it’s hosed.
Former U.S. vice president has canceled his event, more than 3,000 Danes have purchased a ticket. Looks like they will get a refund though. Might be worth more as a collectors item in ten years though.
I wonder how many people have shelled out $1200 to shake Al’s hand? Maybe not enough and he couldn’t cover the expenses for his private jet?
Video rewind… trailer for the recent film that scientifically debunks Al Gore and global warming hysteria and scams… outstanding documentary by Irish filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney. Where’s THEIR Oscar, huh?
