If we got rid of Al Gore, how much better off would the planet be?

Answer 1

we cant! he created the internet!


















hah!

Answer 2

GLOBAL WARMING/THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL

Any and I mean any environmental cause or approach must be grassroots in nature. Having PhD's talk about global warming and having those representing industry interests debunk these present theories is a high level and almost an entirely futile effort. Don't get me wrong, it is great that someone with Al Gore's connections and exposure is getting the word out. However, people are people they want to see results.

Yes, the expression is now trite but still true, "Thing Globally, Act Locally". Watching the sky over a city, town or even a more rural area become darkened by smog has local impact, people take note and actually see A PROBLEM. A problem that can measured in terms of air quality or perhaps an AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX like the one that the provincial government in Ontario, Canada is in the process of implementing. You can measure results (however small) in terms of air quality and the affect it has on the health care system (those with breathing problems, doctor's visits, etc). It certainly speaks to the advantage of a UNIVERSAL health care system (however, actually implemented) as it actually makes sense to improve the environment as it keeps people healthy (a humanitarian cause) and when health care it publicly funded it affects the public coffers when people become ill therefore it even makes better financial sense to keep the environment a top priority.

Plus any approach must be entire with a complete overall plan (the big picture). Including recycling initiatives, energy solutions (alternatives/renewables can now present a real potential financial threat to the big oil companies and even power companies...), government involvement at all levels, public transit, greener vehicles in general (Hybrid, Hydrogen, Conventional electric, bio-diesel, ethanol), conservation in all energy arenas, ETC!

Economic viability is the real sell as many of these solutions are just that economically sensible (ensuring we look at the entire picture). Yes as more people use solar, wind and other renewable energy sources the cheaper the technology will get. Two of the newest billionaires have earned a large portion through renewables Solar (India I believe) and Wind (China I believe). Yes in many ways developing nations and economies will be the first and early adopters of such renewable tech as they are just building much of their infrastructure.

So what do we all need to do? GET INVOLVED ! Contact your local government about improving your recycling program, contact provincial/state/federal government about the adopting of these new technologies (renewables such as solar/wind), buy gas with ethanol in it and demand it, use and demand bio diesel, buy products with less packaging and demand manufacturers to reduce packaging and to offer a price break as a result. More ECONOMIC VIABILITY! After all energy diversity just like economic diversity is the safest and best bet for good long term results and return on investment.

KEEP IT UP MR. GORE THE POLAR BEARS NEED YOU FIRST **GRIN**.

Answer 3

Well now that is a hard one if we are getting rid of just AL gore it wont do much...but now if we got rid of all the left wing nut job environmentalist wackos we would be in pretty good shape. I mean come on how big of an ego do they have to think that us as mere men can truly cause global warming. not saying we cant destroy environments and the world but we are not really capable of causing global warming one volcano puts out more pollution than all of our cars have. And look at the tsunami it did a really good job of polluting the waters our fault???????

Answer 4

WHAT THE " F " IS THE PROBLEM WITH WANTING A CLEAN GREEN PLANET BUDDY???? You got to breath the same air Al Gore Breaths! I'm gonna take you to school! Did you ever hear the old saying - Don't bite the hand that feeds you? Who the " F " you think feeds you? The PLANET!

Answer 5

You'd be amazed. As Al Gore's rhetoric accounts for 58.2% of all air pollution in the world, we could solve global warming for the next 23 years just by getting rid of that bozo.

Answer 6

Sir, your live up to your "handle." Rather than the expulsion of concerned environmentalists, perhaps the collection of environmental rapists should be considered: place them all in a net, attach mega-weights, and "plop" into the deepest trench off the Philippines... but that would further pollute our oceans with the remains of the human population's most vile "sub-species." In-breeding is so lamentable and so avoidable.

Answer 7

LOL, I don't know for sure but I have always thought of him as the type of person, no one wants to be backed up by.

I always have had a negative view on him, he seems to be in touch with radicals of all sorts, weather it be Greenpeace or PETA, also Tipper Gore was associated with the PMRC. In my view any organization that supports extremest actions, that will use unlawful tactics, and violence to obtain their goal is a terrorist.

While I never heard of the PMRC doing any thing unlawful, they do support censorship, and we all know that goes against every thing America stands for.

Answer 8

Al Gore will probably die same time as you, from the effects of global warming but at the very least he will die less stupid than you!

Answer 9

I just don't understand why people continue to put down someone who is trying to help people see the sad shape of our planet. Someone who believes in what he is doing to try to make this world still be here for future generations. People need to open their eyes and try to do what they can to help improve our environment. I will say again, the Bible tells us not to judge.

Answer 10

the world would be great if it was just run by republicans... but way better if al gore was gone!

Answer 11

it might be worse. he just trying to get people to look at scientific facts. the planet would be much better off if we got rid of people like you.
