More on Climate Change
I have no intention to turn this blog into a strictly liberal forum. My goal is not to alienate my conservative family and friends, but to present a point of view they may not have yet considered. As stated in my post, “The One Movie You Must See,” my concern with climate is not so much political as it is moral. This is not about Al Gore, it’s about the planet. I’m no tree hugger, but I do love the outdoors. I’ve gotten lung infections from the pollution in L.A.’s air by exercising outside too much. The rate in which American children are developing asthma is sky-rocketing across the country. Our planet is heating up. The weather is changing. We are responsible for it, and it will effect all of us in our lifetime. This issue is broader than the aisle separating Democrats and Republicans, and much can be done to reverse our course if we act now. Please read the following quote from Jake White’s blog at www.primordium.org, then see the movie.
“…in the movie An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President Al Gore points out that, of the 928 peer-reviewed studies (i.e., studies that are reviewed by others in the scientific community for accuracy and competence) published between 1993 and 2003 that studied climate change not one found fault in the basic theory that humans are causing global warming.”
Thankfully, a major news source has finally published a “fair and balanced” story about the truth: Climate experts: Gore’s movie gets the science right.

At least that is not an Al Gore beard picture. wow, that was embarassing for the entire nation. when i saw G.W. in person i must say he was very handsome. thankfully for bust makers and presidential portrait artists ol’ whiskers up there didn’t get called up.
Speaking as a guy who knows a whole lot about Al Gore, I can say that his intellect far surpasses the current leadership in DC. Though I have not yet seen the movie, I will make it a point to do so. While Democrat leaders have to admit that they are just as wealthy as Republinazi leaders, at least Dems don’t sell out everything in the name of big business. Climate is a part of the great American sellout.
Thanks for the shout out!
Al Gore is the man. He was great on Jon Stewart. I’d love to get a chance to vote for him for President in 2008. Although I wonder where THIS Al Gore was in 2000?
