Well, there's at least one high-profile businessman who's got the guts to stand up and call for Gore to be stripped of the Nobel Peace Prize he received with the discredited IPCC.
Donald Trump has called for Al Gore to be stripped of the Nobel Peace prize he was awarded for campaigning on climate change.
The billionaire tycoon said record-breaking snow storms proved that the former US Vice-President was wrong on global warming, and that policies aimed at tackling carbon emissions were harming America's economy.
His comments follow a string of high-profile attacks on climate change advocates.
Scientists have been forced to defend themselves after embarrassing admissions that some of their evidence was faulty.
Gore has become one of the world's leading global warming activists since his documentary An Inconvenient Truth became a surprise hit in 2006. He was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
But Trump, who hosts the US version of The Apprentice, said the Nobel Committee should now strip him of the award following one of the worst ever winters in eastern America.
He said in a speech: 'With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore.'
He added: 'Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn't care less.
'It would make us totally non-competitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity.'
A crowd of 500 at the businessman's Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, New York, stood up and cheered the remarks, the New York Post reported.
