Tell your ‘denier’ friends and family about these reports:
– Multiple new studies confirm that the world must cease carbon emissions altogether within a decade avert a dangerous rise in global temperatures. With ‘business as usual,’ the Earth will warm by 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. If emissions do not drop to zero until 2300, the temperature rise at that point would be more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit…
– The British government claims that a return to coal power is needed to prevent power cuts, and will likely start building a new round of coal fired power plants…
– The European Union is planning for scarcity of energy resources, resulting in energy wars, mass migration, failed states and political radicalization. Russia and the EU both expect military conflict in the arctic for energy resources as a result of global warming…
Al needs to run!
Frankly, I don’t know what to do if the Republicans (party of torturers and pedophiles) win the next election.
So, yeah, I would in fact back Hillary/Edwards/Obama if that was the option for 2008. But honestly, I am not yet crazy about the dems in general (especially after they caved on the troop withdrawal bill) or, for that matter, any of the democrats who are likely to be up front.
If you feel, as I do, that Al Gore NEEDS to run for president take a few seconds of your time and sign this petition to draft Al Gore.
He may be just the man to (as a friend of mine says) ‘right this sinking ship’
In the wake of a long awaited (and worse than expected) UN report on Climate change (also called ‘how we will have no ski resorts in 40 years’)…This report in the Guardian of scientists being openly bribed to discredit global warming:
Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world’s largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today. Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded think-tank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
