 24 Hours of Inconvenient TruthsPosted on Sep 12, 2011
With the proportion of Americans concerned about climate change dropping from 62 percent four years ago to 48 today, Al Gore is poised to turn the tide in a daylong lecture on the subject, with an hour devoted to every time zone in the world. “24 Hours of Reality” will feature “200 new slides arguing the connection between more extreme weather and climate change,” and “a full-on assault on climate skeptics, exploring where they get their funding from.” Gore’s campaign, the Climate Reality Project, will broadcast the event here. —ARK

I like Al Gore and try to listen to what he says.. He’s not perfect and has his share of skeletons in the closet. I still agree with a lot of what he says and does.
If only he had stood up in front of America for 24 hours or however long it took to stop the gangs in Florida blocking a fair and total recount.. to stifle calls for intervention in the Presidential election by the courts and to drag Bush and his thugs out of the White House.
If only.

Gore has always impressed me as a very inauthentic guy. He could have helped
Report thisadvance the environmental cause if he had committed himself from the beginning
to exposing the political obstacles that exist -he has experience in government
and politics. So far, his environmental work has been little more than a liberal,
feel-good distraction. Has Gore evolved?

True to what a (D) is, Gore appeared to be an environmentalist both before and after he was the first “environmentalist” VP, but he wasn’t an environmentalist when he was the “environmentalist” VP.
Gore was Clinton’s hatchet man in Kyoto, to ensure that climate change was not treated seriously by governments then… back when governments treating it seriously might not have been too late.

Let me get this straight. Climate change theory has declined in public belief from 62 percent to 48 percent. The solution to this problem for believers is to redouble the methods of proselytizaton which have failed, such as making personal attacks on skeptics and unbelievers, with the same people promoting the same arguments to the same audience. Have I got this right?

While I absolutely believe that humans have had a profound impact on the atmosphere (as well as the land and seas), I don’t think there’s really a damn thing we can do about climate change now. The processes underway now are like a runaway train, and we cannot get off. IT’S TOO LATE. This discussion should have been taking place 50 years ago - but then, like now, people would not have listened.
Even if it weren’t too late, the idea that we could get enough of the world to agree to any meaningful changes in collective behavior is delusional. It just isn’t going to happen.
