We are failing our children and this planet. What will it take to listen to these voices of reason? This should be the number one discussion on all media outlets and on the front page of all newspapers. And yet even when the eividence is set right in front of us, all we can do is look at it, say "oh my God how terrible," and move on. This is real and it is serious. We are running out of time to do the right thing.

    • JanforGore "I wonder who funds them?" Good question. They indicate private donations, blah, blah...can't really get a list of those $ supporters. Obviously money can buy anything...including propped up "science". Only in America where truth is nothing more than a matter of opinion. And of course the loudest and richest opinion prevails.

    • Part 2. Forgot to advise you in the George Hunt UNCED 4pt. series on YouTube, listen carefully use of 'cannon fodder' to refer to everyone not in the elitist society. Also note that communist Henry Kissinger, who set Nixon up, glorifies war and massacre also called us "useless eaters". There are too many more for me to name.
      The facts are there. Use them to fight this NWO.

      NOTE: If gasbag Al Gore would shut up, quit ranting, he'd expose us to less carbon dioxide, fear-mongering and stress.

    • Al Gore is a shill for the Rockefeller/Rothschild "In our hands earth summit' formerly INCED. Check our YouTube "George Hunt UNCED". The program was set up to create chaos and fear and capitalize off the desparation to 'preserve the planet'.

      Do your research! We do owe this Earth our respect. That also means buying ONLY biodegradable products, unprocessed foods. We allowed them to strip food of nutrients, then add them back. Still crappy food. They shut down farming, sterilized seeds that produce for only one season. Now Bill Gates is buying up all heirloom seeds to stockpile in Norway which threatens the world food supply.

      If Gore were truly a humanitarian interested in the earth he would step up to the plate to expose the worldwide implementation of the Chemtrail program that pollutes our skies, exposes us to barium and other harmful metals, pollutes drinking water?

      His idea that carbon dioxide is pollution is such crap! Why would you fall for that false-flag operation. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

      As a former Tennessean and knowledgeable about the Gore family...Little Al...I know for a fact these people are NWO, CFR and their agenda is to wipe 80% of us off the face of the earth. Their tentacles are wide-reaching and dangerous.

    • So check this out:
      http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm

      These guys actually did a study and claim, based on their research, that Global warming and green house gasses are a GOOD THING.
      I selected a couple of passages from their work below:

      "The temperature of the Earth is continuing its process of fluctuation in correlation with variations in natural phenomena. Mankind, meanwhile, is moving some of the carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas from below ground to the atmosphere and surface, where it is available for conversion into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result. This is an unexpected and wonderful gift from the Industrial Revolution. "

      AND:

      "Human use of coal, oil, and natural gas has not harmfully warmed the Earth, and the extrapolation of current trends shows that it will not do so in the foreseeable future. The CO2 produced does, however, accelerate the growth rates of plants and also permits plants to grow in drier regions. Animal life, which depends upon plants, also flourishes, and the diversity of plant and animal life is increased.

      Human activities are producing part of the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere. Mankind is moving the carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas from below ground to the atmosphere, where it is available for conversion into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of this CO2 increase. Our children will therefore enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed."

      Its no wonder we are contiuously fighting this battle in the US. btw, this study was published nin 2007.

    • cpane: I agree with you wholeheartedly, which is why I am for impeachment. If we Americans cannot stand up for our Democracy, how can we look credible in standing up for this planet?

    • Wow, thank you for the you tube of the talk with Al Gore, Bono, and Thomas Friedman. Bono's confessing his environmental sins to "Father Al" was priceless. An entire hour of intelligent straight talk from all of them. And in regards to Bali I have to say say that I was disappointed with the results, and feel as though it has already been forgotten. As Bono explained in this video as well, the G8 millenium goals regarding global poverty will not be realized... we are failing our obligation as human beings to leave this Earth a better place when we leave it than when we found it, and that is tragic because we do have what we need to accomplish that! And I also do believe that you cannot discuss global poverty without intertwining it with climate change, global water scarcity, and other social injustices including education, which many poor people in developed countries need desperately in order to deal with the problems they are facing. And that also now includes national security and terrorism... Water and food shortages can lead to terrorist acts just as easily as wars over oil, and we as a global community in my view are woefully unprepared for the catastophe that awaits us if we don't get our act together, and that means a global climate treaty signed by the UNITED STATES including all developing countries working amicably and equitably to solve this crisis. As Al Gore stated here, we are running out of time. We need to show people in developing countries how to adapt and to mitigate, and in rich countries we need to be telling people the truth about this regardless of what those who try to block that truth for their own benefit do.

    • Nothing is going to change until Bush is out office, period. And, if we elect a Republican President, nothing will change for 4 more years. I can promise you that ! And our problems go MUCH deeper than a stand on Global Warming. Our democracy is sick right now (Just like the earth), and we need to get it back to the form that the founding fathers intended it to be.

      Wake Up People, Oil Corporations currently own the US. They inject their influence where it will result in generating more revenue for their interests (Paying their executives, making the rich, richer). Whoever gets in office needs to start to disassemble the connection industry has with our government. Two of the most important goals of the US Constitution were to distance itself from the corruption influences of Religion and Business. Our founding fathers knew that the influence of money and religion in government are very dangerous. They knew that if the rich could influence government, we would truly not be a government of the people, but rather the wealthy. The current administration has blatantly violated both of those goals. Actually, I would even offer that previous administrations have too, but the current is by far the the most.

      If you want to address Global Warming, you must fix the influence of corporate America (Specifically Oil Companies) first.

    • While I know we have the intellectual know-how to completely rid ourselves of the need to use fossil fuels right now, I fear the political will world wide is severly lacking, especially the U.S. Adminstrations disastrous attitude towards global warming. It's going to take each one of us, doing our little part that will make the real difference. While the likes of Gore and Bono are out there kicking up the dust and making us aware of the serious issues, we must be the ones to take action. I personally have signed up with my power company so all the electricity to my house is from renewal energy sources. But even more importantly I talk about it to all my friends and family and encourage them to do their part.
