An Inconvenient Truth: Two years later

You know, Tag Topic Creation and Translation is one of my favor jobs! When I was watching this video and listing to Al's comments and ideas, was when I translated the topic tag keyword;

The Culture of Distraction

I know I hold the position at Current for its Creation but the Credit from this event came from Al Gore's Movie Speech. So Al, I am letting you know I am holding to this position and you're more than welcome to take it over at anytime! In addition, Thanks for give us such great ideas to attempt to Cure Today's Media Denial Towards Human Health and Environmental issues.

I'll attempt my best to carrie it forward!

Sincerely yours;

Important, Please Read: This Petition can be signed by anyone in the United States of America and Abroad. There are no disqualifications red tapes on it, at least from our part! :) Your Comments will be seen by the Entire World as a suggestion to Educate Governments and Public Personalities on the subject of Urban Acoustic Pollution. Thanks for Your Action!

I gotta tell ya it sure makes me feel good to see yall starting to light up the old campfire. I enjoy watching some folk on this here mirecle called Current. Patrick, the light thing is great. For most of the time people been here they worshiped that big ol ball of fire that you see in the sky when you take and look up. They let it dictate their life and when it was up so was they. Then things progressed, I mean congressed and all the lyin and theivin commenced. People couldn't sleep iffin they didn't have a light on. I knew Tommy Edison and man do you folk owe him a debt of gratitude. If you are gonna take and pray before you eat, then why not do it afore you turn on your lights or just about anythin else incoluding your computer. He never meant for yall to take the gifts he received and passed along to you to so abuse them. Remember, there are others watching yall and they sure want to come over sit a spell and become your friends. No one ever wants to visit a crazy neighbor, so all you good people keep banging away. Every hit of the hammer gets you closer to the finished job.......Will

yall listen to stopnoise and help him....hes a light in the darkness..........the good kind............................

If Al Gore ever decides to grow a moustache it will be the luckiest moustache on this planet. Only after you have spent your life attached to the lip of a bastard like Adolf Hitler and heard all of the vile words that he spewed and the damage that he did in so many ways to this planet can you truly know how wonderful it is to see someone like Al Gore come along. It is sad and should be a lesson to all of you. I know that Hitler inherited hatred from his ancestors and I feel that Al Gore inherited Love from his. All of you that inherited Love need to share it everyday with everyone that never knew such a blessing. Al, if you ever grow a moustache please let me know, I would Love to meet him.............Richard.....................................................

Patrick,

I totally understand your point about changes! Government attitudes to abate pollution is very lobbied and slow actually favoring the side of the machine; (the vehicle and its "rights of passage"); in detriment towards human health and life. This type of faulty behavior and action does make from these events an issue of conspiracy and corruption. Government decided to became this "dangerous mindless" entity unable to recognize what is really right or wrong on pollution. Their intentional denial is because they will have to go back and clean up their act in which will cost them some money.

That is the reason I am calling attorneys to contact me so we can start to build some lawful statements at Local and Federal Levels in order to wake up the Legislative, Executive, the Judiciary and its Commissions. Our USA GOV do not understand the urgency of action for local levels any longer unless they get sue by a concerned public. For this to happen, the public must wake up, get the plan and execute. If governments can be that organized and from their organization create chaos, we citizens must build an equal organization to go after their wrongdoings. Only then there will be a change. We must act now! If you personally know any Attorney or you personally believe in this cause, you can help us by contracting one and ask Him or Her to contact me. I know what to do, I just need support and help to accomplish it through the Law.

Here, there are only three ways to resolve government or public wrong doings effectively today. Now it is not time to believe in fantasies.

We must resolve this pollution issue:

1. Through Love;
2. Through the Law and;
3. Through the unity of concerned citizens with a plan of action.

Everything else is just endless talk without ever reach a final point. Remember, every project has its dead line point!

If you are in doubt, feel reality by going out on the streets and observing traffic through an analytical eye. The violations are so frequent that you will have no option but act to abate it!

This must be the most inconvenient truth of all.

And what about Light Pollution"

In an "Inconveinent Truth" Gore actually showed a photo of The Earth at Night but didn't comment on it?

Why not?

In fact he was writing or had already written a book called "Solutions" that would have been published in April but was apparently withdrawn?

From December 2006 to December 2007 I was a volunteer in the AlGore.org Draft Campaign and worked as one of the two Northeast Regional Directors and the Pennsylvania State Director.

When Al Gore finally sat down with Rolling Stone and talked about running for president, he said that it was not his time.

I don't know but I tend to disagree because he was on a roll...and those kinds of things don't happen all the time to everyone.

Today, more folks know about Global Warming but our Congress, even though it's Democratic by a slim majority, has done nothing.

Some change can happen literally overnight but most change comes very slowly.

Just Imagine with me now all these people riding this bus and going from the Financial District to Home everyday since the Year 2000. That is a lot of people and that is a lot of time elapsed there! I am telling you, it shifts to a psychological discussion now!

You know I liked psychology but I find it limited to analyze human mental apathy and mischievous behavior. I actually prefer Spirituality because Spirituality does not compromise with any inequities and at the same token already have the solutions for this human premeditate mistakes!

Jan, Our real problem is not only with obsolete and unethical policies but with enforcement of these policies! We can have as many policies as to present a Cyber and Public Show of Stewardship through the Media but if there are no enforcement at the street level, it creates this 2 separate dimensions where one is all apparently ok and the other, (the reality of the streets); is totally deteriorated! That is how the Government City Hall, a party of the Public and Media conducts their "game" show here in the City.

That is why I used the word "some" because I do not want to generalize the political parties and their positive work to shift our denial policies in the Government. I know that there are a lots of good people trying to do their best out there. But in question of Noise Pollution or Gas pollution that has not reflected into reality here in San Francisco Yet. You can take a look in one of my environmental movies and you see the proof of what I am taking about. So I am a little skeptical of their actions but I have not lost the faith through that they will act to stop Gas and Noise Pollution. They need to do it ASAP as; (2 Years); for Mr. Gore and (7 Years) towards my acoustic issues is is to long of a time! That actually shifts this whole issue to a psychological discussion.

jefftego: That's great. It is good to know this is making a difference.

stopnoise: I knew what you meant. ;-). And thanks so much for your contributions in this thread. And I agree about politics, although we have seen over 150 cities (mayors) agree to the Kyoto protocol which is a good start and states are standing up ... That is why we have to fight the bill in Congress put out by Voinovich which seeks to bring climate policy backwards and negate work done by states to make strides in addressing climate change. I am disappointed in the fact that candidates are not talking about this as emotionally or as frequently as it should be spoken about. You would think if they respect the words of Mr.Gore as much as they say they do and care as much as they want us to believe that they would do so.

Many people could act and work with us right now, regardless of their present job or situation. However that has not happened in the past neither now! That has not occurred with the political parties yet, with exception of Ms. Clinton that took a stand in New York against Airlines pollution, (Noise + Gas). The political parties are too busy expending money and pitching the public with some of their rhetoric discourses.

It was just a while ago that l watched the film though not through out but with what l gathered Mr Gore really laid it out the way it ought to be.
With the way things are going in America as regards politics and the nonchalance of the average red-neck l only hope the message gets through that everything is finite.
Maybe if it happens that Obama wins with his rhetorics of change he could look to work with Mr. Gore and effectively enact a change that could be global.

Time speaks loud and clear! We all know this faulty tactics of misusing the motion by applying the "Statute of Limitation Rule" on healthy environmental issues.

That is used by a corrupted Legislative and Judiciary in the Government to mainly scape responsibility and evade the core of their own and the Rules and Ethics of The Public at large.

Statute of Limitations,
Categories of Exemptions

on pollution

They all conspire to deteriorate our Lives, our Ethics, The planet and its Environment promoting thus and supporting A Policy of Chaos!

Ps: As I am speaking, SFMTA-Muni Electric Bus, you know, "Dilbo," The Dinosaur is shooting their sharp whistle bullet in our environment trespassing our property lines to the point that I have to run for the ear plugs. That is adding to the daily combined acoustic violations out there done by Construction and Traffic.

Jan, after going back and reading what I wrote I realized that and I was going to edit it from;

"we need to let Congress know"

by,

"Congress needs to act now!"

Ha! You read my mind! Great catch!
Thanks!

Interesting that before Mr. Gore Movie I did not knew him very well. During his Presidency it was Mr. Clinton that had the Media spot light most of the time. One day a friend of mine told me: "Hey "Stopnoise," I know you like environmental stuff, you got to see Al Gore talking and his plans!" I thought with myself: " Yeah! It must be that old politics again." Ha, Ha, I was wrong! When I watched the movie I realized that he was really serious about it and that just pumped up my motivation. I thought: "Wow! I just do not have someone blabbing out there, I have a real allied and friend in the cause of pollution abatement!" My support for him just went through the roof and it has strengthen as the time passed through! For that I just want to say Thank you Mr. Gore and all of you here!

Now, time speaks loud and I agreed with many of you here. It has passed (2) Years already! That only proves that we not only have wrong issues happening out there but in addition an inability from government and public to act to abate pollution.

Just think about it: When I went through my EMT program; (Emergency Medical Tech); I had 100 questions; (big questions); and real life threatening simulated situations and (1hr) one hour to respond and find real solutions to save peoples lives.

These people on the Government have all the sweet time in the World and they cannot or decide not to act. I am saying:

"If You do not want to do the job, "get da hell out of the way," and let someone competent do it, please!" ...and I hope I am not being rude by saying that!

I have definitely run into overt dis-believers in my presentations, though I see fewer of them now. I even had someone heckle me at one presentation -- he interupted me several times.

What I generally see now are people who are somewhat aware of what is going on because they see and hear stories in the media. But when they see the presentation and become aware of what is going on now on a global scale it becomes much more tangible and real for them. And they become aware of how they can easily change some personal behaviors to reduce their impact. And they tell others. It is definitely a start.

The facts and truth will surely do that. And how wonderful you were trained by him. I applied but was one of those who did not make the sessions because of the huge response, which was a disappointment. It would have been such an honor to have him instruct me in this, but I still take the information I have gleaned and use it on my own to educate others. I think that is truly the message of this movie. BTW, in your presentations have you run into any overt negativism from others? Or do people on the whole tend to agree with this?

JanforGore: I think all of the public conversation is making the skeptic community smaller and smaller. I have been fortunate enough to be one of the people trained by Mr. Gore to deliver his slide show. I have seen first hand how many skeptics are not really skeptics, they just have not been exposed to the issue and the evidence. Once they are, their skepticism falls away.

Looking at the bigger picture, it is becoming more and more difficult to deny our influence on the planet. We are putting more and more CO2 into the air, global demand for fossil fuels keeps growing, we are not sustainable in terms of agriculture, fishing and water management. With a population of 6 billion people treating finite resources as though they are infinite and adding more and more CO2 to the air, it is becoming very difficult to deny our impact. I think the skeptics see this too and are fading into the background.

stopnoise: Congress is the biggest maker of noise in this country. All sound and fury signifying nothing. And I agree about the apathy. Even with all we know now many still ignore it. I simply can't wrap my mind around that.

jefftego: I agree. Mr. Gore brought this to the layperson in a way it could be understood without all of the scientific jargon attached that either turns people off or disinterests them. They found out after watching this movie that they truly could play a part in the solutions and understood clearly why. That is one reason why I see it as groundbreaking, and one reason why I believe those in the skeptic community dislike Mr. Gore so much. It brought the conversation to a place where more people could understand what is happening and how it is happening... and that has brought about awareness and action, though not where I thought it would be by now. But nevertheless, it has opened a dialogue that was not there before and for that we owe much to this movie, it's producers, and Mr. Gore.

Not only did the movie change my life, it changed the framework around the entire issue of climate change. Before the movie, global warming was largely viewed as a possibility somewhere off in the future. It wasn't really an issue that was discussed outside of the scientific community.

But since the movie helped educate people on this issue -- the evidence that climate change is happening now and what we need to do to reverse it --it has been in the media and public conversation on a daily basis.

And that is one of the most important things we can do indiividually... keep the conversation going so that taking care of our environment becomes more of a priority for everyone.

laurenli: Same here. Even though the environment was my main concern before seeing this movie, watching it brought that concern to a higher level. I am indebted to Mr. Gore for doing it. He stated in an interivew that he had to be talked into it because he didn't think making a documentary out of his slideshow would work...;-)

MissJonaLynn: Mine too. In a political world where true vision is appreciated and not spit on and where money and backslapping the 'good ole boys' are not the prerequisites to leadership.

Gore is still my President...

i feel like so much has changed since then. my thought processes around everything i do every day are so different.

San Francisco's Transportation today is a real dirty example of Passive Aggressive Anti-Social Behavior Events and our Mayor goes around the Controlled Media calling himself the environmental Mayor. Is there a "Joke" here somewhere?

my '98 jetta gets 32 mpg , and has done so since i bought it new - for anyone wondering what kind of car is the most intelligent choice for their next vehicle , buy a used car - and make it a VW - or else buy an old diesel Mercedes and have it converted to run on old frying oil - there is nothing else , short of living in the heart of a city and not owning a car , which will have a greater benefit for the environment .

I was already an environmentalist and activist by that time. By watching this movie I remembering having a sense of happiness by knowing that I was not all alone on this endeavor to find new solutions to do projects that are healthy, safe and clean for Humans and for the Earth. I actually Thank Al Gore and Everyone else that are here that is helping us to change this "Toxic Spirit of Destruction," for a better and Clean Spirit of Development. We must act on a more enforceable way since right now we are in the hands of psychopaths. The time is now! The environmental reality here in San Francisco is so offensive and disrespectful to human life and everyone are just going along apathetic and without questioning its validity.

As I am talking here, at this moment, the public transportation, Muni Bus are shooting sharp whistles, beep signals, voice signals trespassing our property lines deep through at least three bedrooms. There is an acoustic War happening out there and the Controlled Media Networks need to wake up and let Congress know about it instead supporting this deadly cover up resulting from this human apathetic behavior.

Actually small farm biofuels can be carbon neutral and made without food sources and with renewable energy. Alcohol can be pure liquified solar energy. I have 99.9% red clover biodiesel in my VW right now. It is the big industry AGRIFUELS that seem to be catching the rift, although some of this is made with genetically modified seed that other countries wouldn't want for their food supply anyway. If the starch is extracted to make the alcohol, then the rest of the grain is used as it normally would be. That is at least a step in the right direction. The fossil fuels are dug/pumped from underground, adding to the carbon already in atmospheric carbon cycle. Because the plants grow above ground, they are already in the natural carbon cycle, taking in carbon as they grow and releasing when used for fuel. Algea grows using carbon dioxide as it's natural fertilizer, no petroleum products needed. The world food crisis had many reasons for coming about, the least of which was agrifuels. The World Bank shortchanged the food supply and seem to be pushing Monsanto genetically modified seed on to the poor countries.

"Biofuels" are not the devil. I see that propaganda is going over well too. And global warming is not a lie... you do parrot the lines well though.

Goracle! Thank you for listening to "the field", living in "the light" and helping to bring about planetary transformation. It is happening.

Lets see, bio-fuels is the devil, there's no food for other countries because of bio-fuels, gas cost too much, and globe warming is a lie...

yes, plenty of time to demand action from our political leaders... Has it happened though?

Two years ago?? Wow- good lord.

So, since this groundbreaking documentary was released how has it changed your life?
