Al Gore's Plan Goes Far Beyond What Congress Envisions

By LadyInBlack
03/21/2008 03:27:26 PM EST
I wrote this last year right after Al Gore appeared on Capitol Hill to give testimony about the effects of climate change and how the climate crisis is now and will effect this planet. Today is one year since that testomony wherein he explained that the Arctic ice cap should it all go will not come back in any timeframe relevant to the human species. However, I still don't see the urgency that needs to be seen by enough of US to begin doing what we must to mitigate this.
Just the other day, Mr. Gore not only launched The Climate Project-India to continue the worldwide grassroots education many need to inspire action, he also stated in a videoconference that business was leading politicians on this. That is because he is in the private sector spurring on the change that needs to come from the right sectors in order for political will to have that tipping point. Yet, where is the support for all of the work he is now doing on this? How far have we come in one year's time to really stand up for this planet? It is sad to see that my skepticism regarding Congress was true.

I am writing to report a response from Kalee Kreider (VP Al Gore's communications director and environmental adviser) to a pair of Washington Post articles on British High Court judge Michael Burton's ruling concerning Gore's movie on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.
Please find the response here: An Inconvenient Truth: Team Gore responds, which links to the preceding posts at the Post which Kalee was responding to.

Al Gore At The UN: Our Global Environmental Ambassador

By LadyInBlack
09/28/2007 11:47:42 AM EST
Al Gore is now an Ambassador to the world, and to me that far surpasses anything a president in the military industrial complex can do to motivate a global response to this crisis now. I have always believed that those who serve their conscience serve well. Mr. Gore is now living proof of that in showing us all that we can and must do it too.

Hillary 2.0: The Consensus President

Do you think we could all get on the same page and spell TRANSFORMATION? Democrats and Republicans; conservatives and liberals. There are powerful new tools for consensus building that promise a supercharged democracy capable of agreeing upon innovative solutions to humanity threatening problems.

Why Was NASA's DSCOVR (Al Gore's Triana) Really Grounded?

By LadyInBlack

This groundbreaking invention on the part of Al Gore that could now save this world from the catastrophic affects of the climate crisis still sits in a warehouse in Maryland after being scrubbed in January 2006. As usual, "budget" is the answer for why it sits, but I believe it goes deeper than that.

Attack Of The Clones On Al Gore

Is Dennis Avery a legitimate skeptic, or a corporate shill? Well, considering these press releases always specifically target Al Gore and not address the facts he presents that represent an entire scientific community, one can only surmise that it is the latter and not the former.

Thank you for Live Earth Al Gore and Kevin Wall

Written the morning after attending Live Earth at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. with some changes and additions.
I am still recovering from attending Live Earth this past Saturday because it was a transformational experience unparalelled. It was truly an undertaking that was handled with a real concern for our planet.
AL GORE, YOU ARE TRULY A GREAT MAN!!

Annals of Stupidity: The Demise of Alexander Cockburn

By Jason Miller
05/31/2007 10:21:03 PM EST
By Gerald Rellick There is no shortage of political pundits now wading into the discussion of global warming, despite the scientific complexity of the field. One of the latest entries is Alexander Cockburn. I have read Cockburn regularly over the years, and while I recognized him as a very talented polemicist whose acerbic screeds I could tolerate when directed to the likes of Henry Kissinger, Robert McNamara and Augusto Pinochet, his latest foray into the field of man-made global warming is scientifically dreadful, and hence irresponsible, and reflects journalism and public service at its worst. Were it not for the importance of global warming, we could easily dismiss his writing. But Cockburn has a sizeable reading audience through "The Nation" and his own publication, "Counterpunch." And since educating the public on this matter is crucial if we are to do something about global warming, Cockburn needs to be taken to task for his dishonesty and slipshod journalism.

Al Gore Warns Of Biofuel Dangers And We Should Listen

By LadyInBlack
05/15/2007 09:51:13 PM EST
I believe it is so important to have Al Gore and others out here speaking as advocates for people and to mobilize smaller companies into taking on the task of becoming involved in the biofuel market in a way that will sustain the environment and the livelihoods of the people indigenous to those areas. What Mr. Gore is doing as a global environmental advocate is now the most important thing he could be doing in standing up to the status quo and in seeking a new way of not only doing business, but living.

Climate Change Skeptics Lose Vital Argument

By Tom Ball

"Eight years ago Michael Mann introduced a graph that became an iconic symbol of humanity's contribution to global warming."

Click Image for Detail
The famous "hockey stick", a graph that shows the 'drastic influence' of humans over the past hundred years, plots the Earth's surface temperature over the last thousand years. A quick glimpse of the graph shows temperatures relatively static -- that is until the industrial revolution moved into full swing. Around 1900 the temperatures take off like a rocket forming the image of a very long-bladed hockey stick.

Al Gore taking his message of climate change around the world.

By Eternal Hope

Al Gore has taken his message of the need to stop climate change around the world, starting with Australia and New Zealand. He has been training volunteers to continue to spread the word that we need to work together to stop the accelerating trend of climate change before it is too late and many parts of the world become too hot to live in.

Al Gore To Be Asked By New Zealand Group: Where are the Pacific Evacuees?

By LadyInBlack
10/31/2006 12:42:14 PM EST
Here's your answer.
New Zealand Climate Science Coalition policy panel chairman (now there's a mouthful) Owen McShane, another Flat Earth Society member no doubt, wants the New Zealand Superfund to challenge Al Gore on November 14 to answer a question they themselves could find the answer to if they only took the time to read themselves, rather than use this issue as a chance to take a whack at Al Gore because they think what he is doing is a ruse to run for President. See people, see what pushing a speculative political agenda ahead of what really matters gets you?
