Al Gore- Environmentalist?

Question

What people or organizations have affected Al Gore in terms of his enviromental agenda (positively or negatively) websites would be great! thx!

Answer 1

James Hansen and Al Gore seem to be in each others pockets. James Hansen of NASA recieved a sizeable amount of money for research from the Heinz foundation(?) . Does the Gore-Kerry-Heinz relationship ring any bells?
"On March 19th of this year “60 Minutes” profiled NASA scientist
and alarmist James Hansen, who was once again making allegations of being censored by the Bush administration.
http://www.cbsnews.com /stories/2006/03/17/60minutes/main1415985.shtml
In this segment, objectivity and balance were again tossed aside in favor of a one-sided glowing profile of Hansen. The “60 Minutes” segment made no mention of Hansen’s partisan ties to former Democrat Vice President Al Gore or Hansen’s receiving of a grant of a quarter of a million dollars from the left-wing Heinz Foundation run by Teresa Heinz Kerry. There was also no mention of Hansen’s subsequent endorsement of her husband John Kerry for President in 2004. http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/dai_complete.pdf
Many in the media dwell on any industry support given to so-called climate skeptics, but the same media completely fail to note Hansen’s huge grant from the left-wing Heinz
Foundation. http://www.heinzawards.net/speechDetail.asp?speechID=6
The foundation’s money originated from the Heinz family ketchup fortune. So it appears that the media makes a distinction between oil money and ketchup money. “60 Minutes” also did not inform viewers that Hansen appeared to concede in a 2003
issue of Natural Science that the use of “extreme scenarios" to dramatize climate change “may have been appropriate at one time” to drive the public's attention to the issue.

Answer 2

Neither. Gore has been campaigning with video clips,even have been given right here at right here, for in all probability conencting with the populus on a controversy which scientists warned approximately over 30 years interior the previous. there are distinctive factors that are making this planet much less proper for human life. dropping some electric skill is plenty from the precedence, yet I even with the actuality that agree it is an argument easilier solved by employing turning lights furnishings off and greater desirable proper prepare of electric skill administration . there have been no measures so far in correcting this project diverse than showing the ordinary public we are able to create hybrid autos and recycle some plastic. What regarding the organic and organic vegetation ? some could think of of that...." Aw heck, we've been given sufficient for eternity" no longer whilst vegetation are loss of life, no much less the deforestation devoid of replantation,and greater desirable are further to the animal/plant extinction record. i think of of Gore is basically putting up some window dressing for yet yet another Presidential advertising and marketing campaign.

Answer 3

I thought Al Gore was the guy who invented the Internet?
What he *should* have done was convinced 'Slick Willie' to become a professional sax player (he certainly did a better job of that than he did as President ☺) and then Gore could have put together a back-up group called the 'Al Gore Rythms' ☺

Go see his movie first. I havent so i cant give u a critique on him. But, i know what his line on global warming is. He says (like the scientist in the 80s) that global warming is happening (which is true) and leads to the melting of ice caps, flooding of coastal town, bigger hurricane and so on (which is proven scientifically that it is possible). Partly, its human action like factories, energy usage, farming, deforestation, etc etc etc which lets most of the co2 in the biosphere loose ( a key factor of the warming of atmosphere apart from NH4). But, the other side is arguing that this same "global warming" (not so sure if its "global" they say) might be because of the earth's natural tendency to evolve itself.
The summary however, is debatable because the people who says global warming is going to cost us catastrophic damage is not proven. Its like saying lets fight terrorism when we dont know who the real enemy. Its foreseeing the future catastrophe which then doesnt leave space for further discussing of the matter. In any case, try his movie and see what his conclusive ideas are.
N.P: If these people are playing politics with global warming then please dont listen to them. Bush, havent a clue about his english grammar so he's left out. If u are very interested in this topic, then go to a natural history musuem and see what their take on this is. Whether u agree or disagree, Politics as ever is corrupted one line punch bag to vilify the other.

Answer 5

I think it was a speech by James Hansen of NASA that absolutely convinced Gore of global warming in the early 80's. Also his dad died of cancer from smoking which is what his family grew (tobacco). The tobacco co. denied that nicotine was addictive ib court! This convinced him that corporations could be extremely evil.

Answer 6

Al Gore is an "opportunist" not and "environmentalist".
