Who else admires Al Gore..?

Question

after seeing his movie 'An Inconvenient Truth'? I admire him for never giving up and for his whole influence on people to help heal our Earth.
Please, who else does?

Answer 1

If he does what is right, what is good, what is real, what is non-hypicritical- Al Gore gets my vote. I sent this letter to him in January:

Putting the technology together to start cleaning up and reintroducing new ozone to the atmosphere is possible. The cost and size of this project means taking a long term commitment. I am proposing the biggest cleanup in history. Al, I do not see any proposal that is realistic or proven at any cost, not even Washington can solve this problem. But if every person on earth does his or her share, we may be ok. Never-the-less, I see governments acting like a deer in a car’s headlights and people doing the same thing. The inevitable is almost upon us. Cleanup and change is the only option.
The first cleanup machine starts with a ten billion dollars investment. Ten year later with twenty-five machines operating, these machines will produce enough ozone to replace both holes at the poles. But more importantly, these machines will remove chemicals that deplete the ozone. Beyond making ozone, decreasing the poisons that deplete ozone, these machines reduce the major greenhouse gases and unbelievably we can have all this for fewer than one hundred billion dollars.
Beyond cleaning up our atmospheric mess as I am suggesting, we humans must do a better job reducing or cleaning up carbon monoxide, collecting and storing methane and ethane for fuel, burning less of everything, cleaning up our forests and using more solar insolation. Solar steam electric generators are the type of systems we need and are 90 percent efficient and near 100 percent if heat recovery is used. I believe nearly 30,000 MW are needed in the USA and Mexico over the next 30 years. This opens the door to new electric cars, new construction vital to our way of life, new bullet trains, and these industries produce new high paying jobs. From small scale solar generators on malls, to 2000 acre collector sights, these systems are viable and ready for production. The Federal Government must give up some land, money and have less regulation to help save the planet from disaster.
Al, spreading the message that we can help ourselves is a key to the development of these businesses. Washington can help: the businesses need grants, patents, land and regulations. Congress must create a pollution surcharge. From gas, coal, diesel, wood to cooling towers, from cattle, other ranches to cigarettes, from agriculture burning to airplane passengers, this surcharge can fund parts of these projects and many stationary pollution control devices in general.
Your personal support is very important to getting the atmosphere cleanup started and developing sights for solar generators.

Sincerely,

You can't be serious. Al Gore produces this absolutely horrendous movie designed to scare everyone into using less electricity, producing less CO2, etc., in order to 'save the planet.' Most of the movie is completely baseless. For instance, what scientists are telling us that the oceans will rise 20 feet in the next century. The IPCC is predicting 17 inches. Thats a far cry from 20 feet.

My biggest beef with Gore, however, is that he does not practice what he preaches. He has consumed over 220,000kWH of electricity at his Nashville home in 2006, more that 20 times the national household average. And this is just one of the three home that he owns. He wants us to believe that it's OK though because he buys 'carbon offsets.' In other words, we should conserve electricity, travel less, use more fuel efficient cars, but he can continue to waste electricity, travel all over the world, do nothing to actually reduce the amount of air pollution, and it will be OK because he is rich and can pay for it.

How can anyone admire this type of hypocrisy?

Answer 3

Well, it is a fact that humans are greatly contributing to global warming, but Gore is living in the past. He thinks that we can still prevent massive climate change. The truth is that even if we stopped all industry, etc now, it would not stop what is in motion. The climate can be pushed so far, before it must correct itself. We are beyond that point. Reducing greenhouse emissions could only lessen the severity of the changes to come, but not by much. I admire that he is trying to help, but he doesn't realize what is already happening.

<> The BBC additionally would not supply the Holocaust Deniers any credibility, and that i'm useful the Holocaust Deniers are complaining merely such as you're.

Answer 5

I have always admired his BRAIN and commitment.His only problem is lack of charisma but thank God Bill had more than enough for both of them. If the election hadn't been rigged and Gore had been elected Pres. the world wouldn't be in the sad state that it is now.

Answer 6

I do. He is fighting the good fight for the rest of us. We need more like him.

Answer 7

he rocks...
