It always amazes me that those who drive around in their large SUVs find Al Gore''s view of the future unpalatable. The facts are simple. Fossil fuels are limited! Irrespective of one''s views on global warming,the need to develop sustainable energy for the future is evident. Wake Up Call!

We''re closing in on one trillion dollars spent on the Bush/Cheney Haliburton oil wars. Imagine if that money had been spent on renewable energy, we could be be well on our way toward enery independence. Of course the fat pig *** Cheney/s oil stock would not have appreciated as much, but even he shouldn''t whine. With Cheney''s heart in the condition it''s in this maggot will be dead in a couple years anyway, so all those millions he made off the oil wars will be for naught.

Couric: Let''s talk about T. Boone Pickens.
Gore: He''s obviously a very smart guy....I''m impressed that, after such a long and successful career in the oil business %u2026 he''s done the numbers and figured out that huge investments in windmills are gonna make him money and help the country....When he says, "We can''t drill our way out of this," he knows what he''s talking about"

Hate Gore all you want, but the entry of T Boone Pickens into the renewable field is a death knell to all you Global Warming deniers out there. Pickens is careful to keep off the topic of Global Warming, and uses the term ''foreign oil'', but us on the left know EXACTLY what he''s talking about, and so do you.

I WONDER WHERE THE ANTI-GLOBAL WARMING PEOPLE THINK THE MILLIONS OF TONS OF AIR AND WATER POLLUTION ARE GOING--INTO OUTER SPACE, MAYBE?
THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH THE ENVIRONMENT CAN ABSORB, AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THAT LIMIT IS.
MAYBE NEXT WEEK, MONTH, OR YEAR WE RUN OUT OF AIR TO BREATHE, OR OUR GRANDCHILDREN DO, WHO KNOWS?

News flash, MAN MADE Global warming is BS. Just like Gore invented the internet. In 10 years this whole thing will be looked at as a big hoax.

Ya know, these people going on about Gore just don''t get it. Have you opinion on Global Warming, but he is right, we can''t just depend on oil and coal. Wake up and take notice, if you don''t then stop all the whining about the price of gas, oil, and the state of the economy and deal with it.

Oh no!! The sky is falling!! It''s all going to hell in a hand basket!!! Guess what...the more "Mr. Gore" can keep this up, the more money he makes! Look up how much he makes at speaking engagements on this subject. We aren''t stupid "Mr. Gore"! The earth has survived a long time, and it isn''t falling apart. Today''s average temperature is the same as it was in the 1940''s!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Gore :Well, I have to warn you that I''ve recently begun to fear I''m losing my objectivity on President Bush." - article

Remove the last three words, and I believe you''ll hear the REAL message.





I can see it now - dateline 2080...

The Gore family has been asked by the Nobel family to return the prize money and Medal mistakenly awarded in the earlier part of this century for Al Gore''s bogus theories on Humans being involved in the Green house effect.

He is so right. I''m fully on board with his message. Tell me what I can do. So glad he''s taken the position he has on the Obama VP spotlight. He''s done more for the world than he ever could as President of the U.S or VP.

Thank you Al Gore, and to Katie Couric for putting together this spot!
