He wouldn't be doing this just because he hold patents on these tecnologies and stands to make another fortune on them, would he... Nah, NEVER. Enviromentalists don't care about money. That's why Ted Turner is the largest land owner in America. Because he cares about YOU! Right, Turner and Gore want YOU to pay to upkeep their property (Oops I mean, protected biospheres, sorry!) While you are banned from even visting what YOUR tax dollars are paying to develop for private hands. (Like Mr. Turner, and Mr. Gore) What will it take for people to realize that this is the biggest land grab scam ever thought of? If you really think that Turner and Gore care about your children your future more than teir own property value, then your probably "dumb" enough to buy their movies or read their books. Which is just great for them. The more "Useful Idiots", the better.

Even though we do need clean air, anything coming from Nitwit Gore has to be weighed against his own self-interests. He's become a complete fruitcake and his opinions are worthless. Better to find another champion for clean air that has some inherent credibility and decent credentials.

Pity.....better a "useful idiot" than an blogging idiot. S.....I suppose winning the Nobel Prize, the popular election, and two term VP are pretty lame credentials....I'll take your advice instead.

pity

your name is right I feel pity for people whose arguments are so lamely constructed...

are you that dumb that you can not see the world and the scientific and finacial reports that are swamping our policy makers now...

to the point where they can't just say that environmentalists are "making this all up"

"Land grab" ...oy....sorry but that is the most uneducated ignorant argument I have ever seen on here...

whether they invested in securing our lands or not...

who cares? we need to get off oil.

period...duh...get smarter please.

It really makes one wonder where we would be today if the Supreme Court did not hand over the election to bush in 2000. I happen to believe that we would be much better off today. Let's all hope that we don't get a bush third term with mc-more-war. Obama 2008!!!

Will you ever awaken from your dream that Gore won the election?

Al Gore has alot of nerve lecturing anyone about saving this planet with his lifestyle. Wonder what his utilities cost every month. I bet he's got a springler system too.

S,
I hope so. This nightmare I have been having has lasted almost 8 years...I just hope that it does not continue for another 4. Obama 2008!!!

linda,
fyi Gore's home is almost totally self-sufficient.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

I guess he can start preaching at his own household before telling Americans to conserve. Can we say Hypocrisy !!

In 1913 the value of the dollar was exactly that one dollar. Now because they have inflated (printed) more money in the system the value is now $0.04. Back in 1900 a silver dollar was 100% silver and was worth a dollar. Now because the amount of silver in the dollar has been cut in half a current silver dollar is worth less. But if you have an old silver dollar it's worth has increased to $4.48. The same price as a gallon of gas... Surprised!!! The problem is inflation coming from the federal reserve. Not oil. OPEC is considering taking the dollar peg off of the barrells of oil and going to the EURO. You think that's from oil supply? NO, it's because the dollar and the US treasury bills (our debt) that we force other countries that trade with us to buy are worthless. So they are working towards taking the dollar off their board. (What was the last thing Hussein did before we invaded... You guessed it take his oil and put it in Euros, instead of dollars, BIG MISTAKE!!!)Because like the Wiemar Republic, it aint worth the paper that it's printed on. Scientific reports? You mean the computer models that can't even replicate the warming on Mars, Venus, Neptune, Pluto? What is causing the warming on other planets if it isn't humans. Do aliens have cars? I think not. The reasons for "warming" are that when you have events like solar flares and sunspots, that energy is released and distributed throughout the solar system. (Hence the matching readings from other planets) Another factor is that since we can only measure 30% of global temperature (70% water, no readings, none) And most of those stations that record those readings are in cities encased in "concret jungles" that reflect heat, instead of absorb it like in soil. Your going to have at leat a 2 degree instance of warming in the cities, than the rural areas (DUH!) So there is your 2% temperature rise! And as for computer models, they don't even match the satelite data from NASA that account for the things I mentioned earlier. Humans can account for only 2% of warming. Other factors include El Nino, La Nina, solar winds, sunspots, and even the ice caps. So what's accounting for the other 98%, perhaps the same thing that does it for the entire solar system, namely the SUN!!! It's easy to hurl insults instead of back up your assertions with data, but please don't insult the intelligence of those who can do a little research and can actually use facts to back up what they say. (And by the way the next biggest factor in "deadly" CO2 is clouds (other wise known as water vapor) that absorb the heat... so what do you wanna do about that, do we get to ban clouds now. But wait that will increase skin cancer oh well, at least the "envroment will be safe for whoever is allowed to remain here.

Why do people think that if you want to convert to clean energy, it must just be a money issue? Arent oil co.s making record profit? Wont Coal co.s make tons of $ if we convert to more coal. It only makes sense to convert to a cleaner energy source.
Less dependance on other countrys recources, new jobs for years to come, less poloution. If your a conservative (notice the root word "conserve") whats no to love? U.S. money going to American jobs. Better for the enviornment. Less dependance on forign oil.

Watch "Global warming or Global governance, or the "Great Global Warming Swindle", or "the Greenhouse conspiracy" there are usually TWO sides to every arguement... Unless of corse it's "Global warming/cooling/dimming, or watever new spin on and old dog is next week. (The latest reports (this is true folks, you can't make this up) "Global warming causes Kidney stones!" Even my girlfriend who is a doctor had to stop and say, THAT was offically CRAZY!!) Do you folks really wanna get in bed with that kinda company, I for one sure don't! I think just because the tin foil hatters have a college degree in anything other than science, doesn't make them authorities on such topics. But hey, that's just me.

2 pity

I think it's you...with all that warm air you're putting out there

Notice that Pres. Bush did not say that "Climate Change" caused by human kind was a myth when he was at the G-8 summit. It was when he was on his own soil that he said that it would be economicly difficult, and left it to another president.
The EPA, head of NASA, former Vice President, former Presidents, G-8 leaders..........all wrong? Just wacos?

We use to rely on Horse and buggys to get around, candles to provide light, and the post office to send mail. New and better technologies take the place of old ones. Even the Old Testiment was replaced.............

pointing out inconsistency or supposed hypocrisy (which everyone is guilty of) so as to assuage your own guilt for doing nothing to improve your resource footprint... well that's cowardice, and it's far worse than hypocrisy. everyone can try to improve; there are many opportunities if you look for them. so how about being brave and making an effort? one foot in front of the other...

If anyone makes big dollars with technologies that will make the air and water clean for my daughter and future generations, God bless them.

How is Gore's home energy self-sufficient? I thought that myth was busted years ago and that he was offsetting his carbon usage by planting trees which, of course, release all carbon they've ever captured when they die and decompose.

debunked - And 200 peer-reviewed papers prove there IS.
