Global Warming Congressional Testimony Trance Remix: "Al Gore Rhythm" ___________________________________ On March 21, 2007, Former Vice President Al Gore testified before Congress on Global Warming. Is our Congress doing enough, one year later? Will our next president heed Gore's wisdom? Has our society made the necessary shift in values that will yield a successful energy transformation and sustainable infrastructure? ------------------------------------ Video Transcript: "America is the natural leader of the world. And our world faces a true planetary emergency... The Arctic ice is melting more rapidly than had been predicted... This problem is burning a hole at the top of the world in the ice cover, one of principal ways our planet cools itself. If it goes, it wont come back on any time scale relevant to the human species... Another study shows that there are among the billions of tons of frozen methane in the tundra areas that have locked it up in ice.. the melting is proceeding more quickly than anyone had predicted. Methane's much more powerful than C02 as a GHG - about 23 times they say - as powerful. We need to turn the thermostat down before that melts. Because I promise you - I say this to each of you as individuals - I promise you: A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back. And they'll ask one of two questions. Either they will ask, "What in God's name where they doing?" "Didn't they see the evidence?", "Didn't they realize that four times in fifteen years the entire scientific community of this world issued unanimous reports calling upon them to act?", "Were they too blinded and/What was wrong with them?/ numbed by the business of political life or daily life to take a deep breath and look at the reality-" "Did they think it was perfectly alright to keep dumping 70 million tons every single day of global warming pollution into this Earth's atmosphere - "Did they think all the scientists were wrong?" Did they think all the scientists were wrong? Or, they'll ask another question. They may look back and they'll say "How did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy." And do what some said was impossible. And shake things up! When there are enough people, who become seized of the gravity of the challenge and... learn what's at stake, all of a sudden it can move very quickly." The way the Chinese and the Japanese express the concept of crisis, they use two symbols together. The first one means danger, and the second one means opportunity. This is the most dangerous crisis we've ever faced, but it is also the greatest opportunity we've ever been confronted with. Not only to solve this, and to say to the future generations "We did our part. This was our Thermopylae. We defended civilization's gate. We rose to the challenge." But to also say in the process, "We dug deeply and we found a capacity we didn't know we had." It's there, we all know that. I'm gonna do my part to make sure that you have all the support that I and lots of other folks can muster for you in both parties, when you do the right thing. If some of you in tough districts face pressures that just are overwhelming, I would ask you to walk through that fire. I wish you well, as you undertake this historic challenge. Thank you." _____________ other tags: spirituality, mother earth, gaia, ecology, harmony, one taste, acceptance, forgiveness, communion, agent in communion, leadership, leader, moral courage, morality, god, what is god?, political issue, global catasrophe, death, life, yin yang, nobel laureate, emmy award winner, oscar winner, man of the century, reclaiming democracy, global warming music video, polticial music video, political leadership, "next president of the united states", plomo, plomomedia, ecosystem, environmental collapse, forests, devastation, growth, wise words, species death

By the way, Al Gore is a senior consultant to Google, and has hundreds of millions of dollars of Google stock, and Google management (i.e. Al Gore) is OPPOSING a stockholder resolution to stop censoring Google searches. __________________________________________________
erngre  2008-03-27 17:52:03 I will not buy into this Religion of global warming. And or the politics of it also. It is a hugh lie. OK? We went through all this in the 70's. The only thing different is a generation has grown and for gotten all this CRAP. LOOK IT UP. Now this next generation is being boombarred with this insane crazy religion of Global Warming. But it is all a LIE........ As was Global Cooling in the 70's. WAKE UP! Yes lets keep the world clean. But not at the price of being idiots. __________________________________________________
drammensveien1  2008-03-26 15:20:27 Al gore is one big fat liar. but I cannot understand why not more people can see it ?. "it doesn't look good" __________________________________________________
WunderMaus  2008-03-25 22:47:43 I'll give you credit for at least looking at it again. That at least demonstrates a willingness to consider that you might be in error. In fact, even though I do not agree with your second assessment, I commend you for acknowledging as much. I was a little harsh on you, I must admit, and having thought about my response to you; I should have given you more credit for at least checking it out in the first place. I will bookmark this comment and check back in 5 years... and we can go from there. __________________________________________________
TheRealDoofinator  2008-03-25 20:44:10 OK. Looked at it again. It's even more stupid than I originally thought. I was too kind in my first assessment. By the way, the earth is cooling. Al Gore lied to you. __________________________________________________
