Al gores movie....continued
That things about Al Gore putting the movie together only for votes? If you knew anything at all about Al Gore, you'd know that he's been an environmentalist and teacher for decades. He put the presentation that became the move together because it's the sort of thing he's always done. And if anything, he's very well aware that there was a distinct possibility that, had he helped produce the movie during a political race (which he didn't, by the way), he'd have stood to lose votes rather than win them.
Time to educate yourself a bit more JackdaW. What Gatekeeper said above is very true. You don't have to listen to politicians. Listen to the concrete facts from climatologists and environmental scientists. The ones who measure temperatures and core ice samples on the polar caps. The ones who monitor the greenhouse gasses, the ever-growing holes in our ozone layer, global temperature trends, and, yes, polar bear habitats. The ones who convened around the world at the behest of the UN within this last six months and made their report public within the last six weeks. There's no longer any argument on the topic of global warming or, if you prefer the term, climate change. Even the most in-denial fossil-fuel-connected politicians now see this, too. The facts do exist. And that most recent UN report, sadly, said that even by acting now and enacting tough legislation and stringent environmental standards around the world, we're not really going to be able to undo the destructive environmental cycle that's already in motion. We may be able to make some improvements and keep the future of this century from being so bleak. But we're already too late to stop it entirely or reverse the current damage.
If it's an environmental issue, by the way, that means it's automatically a political issue, too. Environmentalists and scientists can make the recommendations for more stringent environmental standards. But someone has to put them into action. That's where legislators/politicians come in.birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Al gores movie....continued Ok guys i really want to talk about this, latewood didnt agree with my comments and some others didnt agree with gk. but non the less i still belive that the only reason Al gore put this movie together was to gain votes. Which makes his points pretty unstable. Now, we all know that the world is in some way warming, but it has been for the past millions of years, we had an ice age whats to stop an heat age, Really? There has been no factual evidence that global warming is here.
