Since I know at least one person one here ( Arl Jim..don't bail on me now) I'll say this...umm...Al Gore..Love him or hate him or indifferent, should be our President right now. Or at least or former President. I think he should get creds for how close he got and how many people he got to vote for him. As far as Bush goes, even if you support him ( ouch), you have to admit that he has does nothing to help the environment. He even admits as much. He denies there is a problem. So if you think there is a problem, then you can't say Bush helped the cause. If you don't think there is a problem..then..well vote for Jenna when she turns 35, or whatever that age is

You know the country is in the shitter when people think Al Gore is a better option than what we've got right now.

The end is near.

And that's why you think the country is in the shitter?

I like the (*)..touche..

It's the classic Left vs Right...Never a winner. But..since I am engaging the infamous PP...Back to the subject at hand..Is global warming urban myth or real? And I'm really not that hung up on it..Just feel that Gore isn't an idiot and deserves his audience. But..that may be too much of a stretch

In regards to his beliefs on war....Yes. Other stuff? Not sure. Basically both parties are owned by lobbyists so it's really troublesome for me to pick a candidate.

Global Warming caused by humans? We might contribute a small percentage to it, but I really believe the sun is the main culprit. Notice it's been quite active the past few years.

War?? Agree to disagree..But maybe the sun wouldn't be such an issue if we had an ozone layer left. And I hate saying crap like that because it does border on tree hugger status, but, I don't think you can hide from it.

And yes...lobbyists, the primary starting 2 years early, all a joke.

Pillow,
I'll stay out of the rest of it, as you probably know what I'd say anyway.
On this, "Notice it's been quite active the past few years."
I'd say that it has been for about the past 4 1/2 billion.
The CO2 in the atmosphere is the highest it's been in the past 10,000 years.

I like Gore because he invented the internet, and his kid isnt scared to get caught high and speeding. Makes him seem more American to me. That being said Id never vote for a Dem.

Yeah you're right...I noticed it was pretty active back in 413,100 B.C. during one of my former lives as a hominid.

the temperature has also gone up on mars (is our pollution drifting?) which would fit in with the theory of it being the sun.

I still don't understand how Gore can make everyone drink the Kool-Aid when he is the biggest hypocrit when it comes to energy consumption.

I am totally cereal on this, too...

The concert was a complete waste. Very rich people doing whatever their thing is. global warming is occurring with most likely very limited if any human influence. Ice ages have come and gone in the history of time with very limited human influence as well!! The planet has always warmed and cooled...a lot.

That being said. I really don't understand the hatred of Al Gore. There have been multitudes of worse humans than him inhabiting the planet. He feels strongly about an issue, and actually makes legit points about it. Whether he is right or wrong...it should be a very wise thing to explore by the entire planet...begin limiting fossil fuel consumption...with the ultimate goal of ending it. It simply makes sense regardless of which political party you belong to or support. Or whether you hate Al Gore or not. I don't think the complete ending of fossil fuel use will ever come, but we as human beings should really look to start limiting the use. Enertainers in politics generally is a bad mix, but it does happen and sometimes they can rise...Ronald Reagan, Gopher from the Love Boat, Shirley Temple, and Steve Largent all come to mind.

Al Gore is not the embodiement of evil as many on one side of the political spectrum like to suggest. And he never said he invented the internet. I used to be on that side of the political spectrum, but Al Gore was the first democrat I pulled the trigger for in a presidential election and I remain confident that was the correct choice in that election given the two whom were running. If the media were truly "liberal", George Bush would never have become president. Al Gore was poorly treated by said "liberal" media in 200 with said internet inventing...sighs during debates magnified and talked about for days on end and many other things that meant nothing tipped the scales in my opinion. Bush was the golden media boy in 2000 and his own alcoholism was never broached as a subject in said election. Gore sighing was a much bigger issue in 2000 than a potential non-treated alcoholic as president.
