Bauble warming

Since 2006, when he made that woeful "documentary" An Inconvenient Truth, former US Vice President-cum-environmental campaigner Al "The Thaw" Gore has been busy flying around the world collecting numerous gongs (including the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize).
Now I see that the University of Tennessee is debating whether to award him an honorary degree.
Rather than allowing the self-satisfied Gore to sit around polishing more baubles, wouldn't it be a better idea to see how we get a few of them back?
