Should the steps Al Gore recommends in "an inconvient truth" to help deal with global warming be implemented?

Question

I completely agree that he should do all the energy conservation and carbon credit purchasing he needs to reduce his energy consumption as much as possible and become carbon neutral as an example to help lead other public figures to do the same. It would also prove he puts his money where his mouth is.

Answer 1

YES YES YES YES YES YES.....And it is encouraging to see the positive answers you have on here for a change! So this is for the nobs who spout there is no global warming!! People who debate this issue give me the shits! They ramble on and on about it before really looking into it!
Mate if you have any doubts about just how real it is come to Australia or look on the net. We are in the worst drought in history.There are 4yr old children here who have never seen rain. Old farmers are saying this is no normal drought, this is entirely different.Here many towns have run dry, the dams and the bores, and water has to be trucked in to the residents. We are in south east Qld not allowed to use any water whatsoever for any purpose outside..ever. Not to wash your car water the gardens or clean the house. Not even with a bucket. We will be drinking recycled sewerage waste next year. Is that real enough for you? And that's just the towns!
Farmers who have been on their properties for generations are just packing up their belongings and walking away, not selling, just leaving. They are past having their crops fail, because they are broke and in debt up to their eye teeth, and cant even afford the seed. Or the banks have already taken their now useless homes from them. Their stock is all dead, most shot, so they would not die from hunger or thirst. Four Aussie farmers are committing suicide every week...is that real enough for you?
You sit there in your houses with your nice green lawns(god id even go for brown lawn!) And you declare that Global warming is not a threat! In some ways you are right ,,...its not a threat mate its real!
I cant speak for your Al Gore as a politician, but you can plainly see the man has put his neck on the chopping block in front of a world full of uninformed idiots, for the good of those same people! The man is a warrior for this planet, and its about time you nobs give him a break, and get on the computer and educate your selves!

Thank you for listening. Not enough is being done here or anywhere else in this place we call home.
Soon i believe we wont have one.

Answer 2

Al Gore is a smart man. We all know he won the presidential election. But due to the fact the rest of the ballets were not counted he lost, his brother also had lots to do with the votes not being counted. The election was a fraud. I am all for Al Gore and the work he is doing. If Al Gore would have been given the presidency like he should have. We would not be fighting a war that has nothing to do with us American. Global warming needs to be addressed.

Answer 3

Our very lives depend on it. This is an issue of grave importance. The problem is, no one in power is listening. Watch the movie, and research the facts on your own. The polar caps are melting, species are disapering, rivers all over the world are dry. The average temp is going up each year and has since 1958. We are making this happen and the reality of the situation is we will end earth as we know it, if we do not change. So, I say we have to do it to ensure human survival on this planet.

Answer 4

Remember that Saint Gore is buying his carbon credits from a company he owns. It must be really tough to sacrifice his money so that he can be carbon nuetral and get more profits from his company. If he can convince others to do the same then everyone can sacrifice equally and Saint Gore can suffer the profits gladly.

Answer 5

Absolutely! He should probably start with his own household considering:

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh — more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh — guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year.
