You would think that at this particular moment in history, even Al Gore would be trying to stay away from Al Gore.  He is the poster boy for global warming, a concept that recently has been shattering to pieces like the frozen tears of an endangered baby polar bear.

The University of Tennessee, however, will not be deterred from awarding Gore with an honorary doctoral degree.  It has been speculated that they are angling for the recently created “Nobel Prize in Unwarranted Award Giving”.  The Nobel committee has naturally awarded that prize to itself for the past two years since its inception, but for the first time there may be some serious competition.

The University chancellor had this to say:

Vice President Gore’s career has been marked by visionary leadership, and his work has quite literally changed our planet for the better.  He is among the most accomplished and respected Tennesseans in history, and it is fitting that he should be honored by the flagship education institution of his home state.”

Although currently hiding in his ice fortress somewhere in the arctic circle and thus unavailable for comment, a ghostwritten editorial in the New York Times bearing Gore’s name asserted:

Come on, guys…climate change is super serious!  There’s so many earthquakes! 

 

Bow before the high priest of Climate Change, ignorant polluters
