What mission is Algore REALLY on?

Question

Shouldn't our "generational mission" be something along the lines of stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS or hunger throughout the world? Instead, Algore is raking in HUGE profits from carbon credits..Wal Mart the latest idiots to buy into this.

Algore writes that we have a generational mission to save our planet. Yet in Bjorn Lomborg's new book "Cool it" the skeptical enviromentalist's guide to global warming,Lomborg systematically dismantles Gore’s argument that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the biggest threat facing mankind, and that humanity must focus all our attention on fighting it.
Let’s begin with Gore’s “generational mission.” Why is it that virtually none of the thousands of generations of humans that have come and gone have had a “mission?” Well, it’s because we’re one of the first generations that hasn’t had to worry about our day-to-day survival. From the dawn of time right up into the 20th century, many if not most people lived in fear of starvation.

We defeated hunger through economic growth. The planet now produces more food with fewer farmers than ever, and we have efficient transportation systems to get that food to distant markets. As Lomborg explains, spreading the sort of wealth that First World nations now enjoy to everybody would be the best way to deal with global climate change. And he shows that Gore’s pet topic, the Kyoto accord, would actually make the world poorer.

clara nett...great links...thanks

Answer 1

Affluence of the people that think they are the elite of society. The mission is to get more power and stomp out conservatism making way for more of a communist model. What better way to do that then global warming which blames America first by making us responsible for the amount of heat coming from the sun.

More and more Im starting to realize the goal of liberals; to stomp out patriotism. If people stop loving this country, they will hand it over to liberals on a silver platter to reform it in their image. And what is the media doing about all this? HELPING THEM!

Answer 2

Personally I used to really like him. Somebody had to break out the news that climate change is real. I do like his Current Tv efforts, especially the Neo nazi youth in Russia piece.

What I do find disturbing is the research that he perhaps was as domineering in the White House years as was Hilary. For the Love of Politics by Sally Bedell Smith. Also abusive to staff. Keeps his mansion in downtown Tennessee? A new luxury condo in LA? His son has somehow felt let down?

Worse. I read he was willing to fill in Hillary's shoes should she be removed from the Democratic ticket. Like when the campaign ethics & finance boards landslide the candidate with violations after she passes the primary? I do not want AL Gore any MORE. Thanks.

Answer 3

The carbon credit is a joke and a way for the wealthy like Gore to gain even more wealth at the expense of people who buy into the latest fling on TV and the movies.
I like your idea that our real mission should be combating AIDS or the helping those in poverty in third world countries.

Answer 4

Global warming is a shadow issue, to convince people that they NEED big government and its control.
The goal is simply socialism, world wide socialism, of course with socialism comes poverty and death to those people who resist it.
Ultimately, those that control power will be the wealthy elites who will not be subject to the socialism, much like the Goracle is now. The only difference will be that the new wealthy elites will derive their wealth and power from the government with no connection to the wealth creating entrepreneurs which have fueled the great wealth of the last century.

Answer 5

So your claim is that progressives were giving false data which diluted their results. You didn't prove anything against global warming, just that it can't possibly be entirely due to C02. So are you saying that they were in fact basing their entire argument on what was given to them as fact. But where is the evidence that their is no global warming? Is it because you can't see fireballs and flame?

Answer 6

Al Gore is on a mission to fleece the tree hugging liberals of any and all money they may have, and to compel said tree hugging liberals into forcing the rest of America to participate in the fleecing through legislation....

Answer 7

To boldly go where no man has gone before...

No really to be the pied piper for the those lacking

critical thinking skills into the largest scam in world

history. The consequences of his futile efforts

will have grave effects on economies around the

world.

We could eliminate 2 million tons of co2 every

year if we got as much of our power from nuke

power as they do in France, so why isn't he touting

doing that!

Answer 8

As a Dem, I am extremely disappointed in VP Gore. He needs to get a grip.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 9

He knows now is the time to manipulate Liberals, (it's working because he won the Nobel Peace Prize on a lie) the majority politically, in USA in order to make a name for himself in history, and erase his failure as a Vice president, and a candidate for president. Now is the time, because Hellary is so popular in the polls, and a Socialist like himself. Look at his history man! Has he ever done anything that wasn't selfish, and based on party line? Remember his casting the deciding vote to raise the taxes on Social Security in the Senate, as Vice President? Senator's voted to raise their own income that year, too. Mmmmm, it doesn't look like OUR money went to Social Security, it went into the pockets of the Senate!

Answer 10

Al gore. With regards to the environment, he put together a piece of propaganda called "An Inconvenient truth" Although he may have been sincere with his attempts to bring attention to "Global Warming" the film is mostly propaganda. . why do I say this? Recently a court in England found 11 issues of his film were blatantly misrepresented.

See:
http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2007/10/09/court-identifies-eleven-inaccuracies-al-gore-s-inconvenient-truth

And although he insinuates that Global warming is a settled issue scientifically and "Virtually all scientists agree" It is not so. See the following links:

You have to remember that Mr. Gore was trained as a lawyer. Lawyers argue a point of view and have no obligation to tell both sides of the story.

People like to say that he is the smartest man in American, but Take a look at his college grades:

The man received a noble prize for his film, but as the lawsuit reveals, when you remove his incorrect data, its mostly filler material.
