Al Gore has changed and is changing the world. Make no mistake. He is a one-man revolution. Why do you think the whole world is talking about climate change and concern about global warming dominates the news worldwide?
And why has this only started happening on a major scale in the past year or so?
Perfect example here at home: John Howard has admitted global warming exists and purports to want to do something about it. the smae thing is happenign but on a much grander scale worldwide. why has this only started dominating mainstream media in the past year or so? why?
why?

TWO WORDS: HIS FILM.

make no mistake, in centuries to come history will look back at al gore as a revolutionary - someone who changed the world for the better and basically singlehandedly forewarned the world of ecological disaster.

he is fucking, fucking total fucking genius.

this is not up for debate. it is pure, solid fact. END OF DISCUSSION.

Yes, Al Gore is a wonderful man. He's a politician with a brain -- an unusual thing in Washington. His film is pure genius, not only in that it brought attention to the cause, but that it made the cause "trendy" and it made Al Gore marketable again.

Now if someone could just convince the man to run for President again and save us from the error of Middle America's evangelical ways. Ahh.

His film is so great that they are going to turn it into a book. It will be located in the "Over the top, I'm a hypocrite fiction section"

[dbergz]

Well, better than if he had done nothing at all..unless you're one of the few who look forward to seeing the world's coastal cities by boat.

Also consider that the film was first and foremost an American phenomenon and in order to inspire anyone to action in this country, you must first alarm and scare the shit out of them. Then they'll get moving.

Aaaaand finally, I know you're probably referring the story about how much energy his house/car/life uses, etc. and that's fine. But some of it was greatly exaggerated, while Gore himself has been trying to address the other concerns (which prompted him to sell his car and buy a hybrid, etc.)

Either way, I don't know how what he's doing is necessarily bad. It's a real concern, global warming, and it's better to work toward a solution than to just sit around making it worse. If he can cause that proactive response, then why not?

[Fritz]

I'll promise to fart in a bottle next time to aid this matter.

Cars, domestic lights etc etc make so small a difference, effectively they make no difference at all. If this tosser is the all inspiring person that he is, he needs to actually move major companies to reduce their emissions.

I am not sure a blockbuister movie with product placement aids this at all. So Mike Moore.

It's only a concern if you want to be concerned with non-existent things. END OF DISCUSSION.

Especially when the product placement is for a company that produces one of the most environmentally unfriendly products on the planet.  Smells a little fishy to me.  But the left always smells fishy because they don't shower.

Al Gore is a modern-day fuckstick. What sort of a MORON can't beat George W. Bush in an election?

It's cause we've been swimming with dolphins, silly!

And uhhh is the consumer absolved of responsibility for the company's emissions?

Why would you advertise an environmentally unfriendly product if you're an environmentalist?  He's not a consumer, he's a promoter.

John Howard: Setting Australian policy based upon fictional fantasy movies since 2006.

Gore got more votes than George Bush, but the Electoral College system doesn't require a popular vote to win the election. Furthermore, GW was installed by a Supreme Court decision, not an electoral victory. As for the second time, well, that's just embarassing.

[dbergz]

Also, as for global warming not existing, how about we wait to discuss that until you're on your last glass of water?

I'd prefer reading this little snippet.

Careful, you're showing your ignorance.

Global warming and water shortages have little to do with each other. In fact, it is pretty obvious that a warmer atmosphere would contain more moisture, and there would be more rain, and an abundance of water, not a shortage. It could even cause an ice age.
