Liberty Reborn

Al Gore is still at it, now planning a sequal to An Inconvienent Truth.  We can only hope that this movie will actually have a few facts in it and not be a total work of fiction.  Don’t hold your breath though.

AL GORE wants to make a sequel to his Oscar-winning documentary on global warming – and despite Earth’s “rising fever” he is still hopeful for a happy ending.

We are, he says, all players in deciding the outcome.

Despite the success of his film An Inconvenient Truth and last year’s Live Earth concerts in raising awareness, the former US Vice President believes little has changed where it counts and the situation is even more urgent.

And he warns that while individual efforts such as changing to low-energy lightbulbs are important, it is more significant for world leaders to change laws to stop pollution pouring into the atmosphere and affecting the climate.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Mr Gore – hailed as the world’s leading green campaigner – said recent polls had found that while people rate climate change as a “serious problem”, some ranked it lower than clearing up dog mess.

“When politicians walk down the pavement, four or five of every ten people they meet ask, ‘What are you doing to solve the climate crisis?’ he said. “If you ask people their opinion, more than two thirds will say, ‘It’s a very serious issue, we’re responsible for it. We need to take action’.

“But then if you give them a list of 25 or 30 issues and ask them to rank them in order of seriousness, climate change comes at the bottom or near the bottom.

Well gee then Al, it doesn’t seem like it would be that big of an issue then!  So how do you do from antidoctal evidence about how many people are asking politicians what they are doing about it to the at least more scientific data in a poll about where people rank the issue?

1. Collect underpants
2.  ?
3. Profit

where, phase two doesn’t really exist.  Except in this case it will be a slide of:

Phase 1: Convince people that Global Warming is manmade and we must do something now.

Phase 2: ??????

Phase 3: WORLD DOMINATION!
