Al Gore won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on raising public awareness of Global Warming. There has been some contention on whether the work was related to the stated purpose of the prize or not. In addition, there is much controversy surrounding his work in the area of Global Warming and, in fact, even controversy over whether Global Warming poses a real threat to mankind.
Recently a UK High Court judge decreed that the government could only send a copy of “An Inconvenient Truth” to every school if it was accompanied by guidelines to point out “nine scientific errors” and to counter his “one-sided views”. In his film, Al Gore called on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home. In August 2006, Gore’s electricity bills revealed that in one month he burned through 22,619 kilowatts - more than twice what the average family uses in an entire year. 'You Be the judge of Mr. Gore’s hypocrisy.'

I’m not an anti environmentalist. I believe in TRUTH. Our actions speak louder than our word.

The real inconvenient truth is that if you want to cut your carbon footprint in half without changing your lifestyle...just have one child to help reduce our impact on the world.

You will note that when Mr. Gore shows a slide of exponential carbon emissions growth, that is the exact same curve that world population graphs show...

The true root cause of consumption is consumers and if we dont address the root cause in a frank open way we are just delaying the ineffitable.

Global Warming facts we wished were not true.... - Presentation Transcript

GLOBAL WARMING Some facts we wished were not true…
Some facts we wished were not true… Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees F (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades- NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
Some facts we wished were not true… The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years…… The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
Some facts we wished were not true… The Arctic is already feeling the effects….. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
Some facts we wished were not true… Arctic may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier.… Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
Some facts we wished were not true… Glaciers and mountain snows are melting rapidly…. Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
Some facts we wished were not true… Coral reefs, suffered the worst bleaching ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent… Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.
Some facts we wished were not true… An upsurge in extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.….
Take steps NOW… else, face the consequence……….
Stop global warming, save the planet … Thanks for viewing! References : http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/12/1206_041206_global_warming_2.html
