An inconvenient bookstore

• I agree with Dee Mac! The Nobel Prize is awarded by an elite committee and heaven knows why Jimmie Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize . . . built a few homes for the homeless? Don't think that helped the world only a few families . . . does not compute! The Oscars are likewise given by actors to actors . . . so it's just another popularity contest!

• Now let's work on the movie reclassification!!! Will this help to recall the Nobel Prize or the Oscar?

• Not only should it be in the science fiction section of bookstores, the title should be changed to a Convenient Untruth. Too bad so many ignorant people believe that Al Gore's book is the bible for environmentalists!

  • Did anyone here read Art Bell's book "The Coming Global Superstorm" - "the Day after Tomorrow" was pretty much based on it - there is a lot of hype and bad science going on surrounding the environment/global climate. Art Bell is a talk show host, a funny clever man, now retired, but no scientist, yet remember people praising the movie as a wake up call?
    Remember all those books/articles about global cooling back in the 70's - or California dropping into the Pacific?
    I propose a new genre of science fiction that encompasses all the over-hyped "factual fiction"* that get written. "The Late Great State of California" and "An Inconvenient Truth" - all the 9/11 truther books, and of course, The Superstorm novel; all of these books are disguised as serious proposals of a possible future decked out in the draperies of science, but they are truly science fiction.
    *can anyone come up with a better term?

• Is there a way to get all of them sent there? How can people be so gullible? This man is a BIG JOKE!

• LOL, when I was at BnB the other day, I took Gore's book at put it in the Science Fiction shelf..... i know i know...im bad, but i couldn't help myself!

  • John, I am doing things like that . I never protested things before -I'll take a magazine(anything) and cover the Newsweek or any of the others that have a picture of the Obamas or Al Gore, etc - either of them. I honestly wonder what is going on our heads ? LOL
    (oops) "Accident, I put it the wrong place!"
    It doesn't make much sense and doesn't influence anything - but as you said, I can't help myself.
    It seems to me that we conservatives are now the 'alternative' or protest culture. - the hippies and yuppies are now the establishment .
