Al Gore: Earth Is In 'Full-Scale Planetary Emergency'

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico – Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has called for better use of the “space resource” to battle Earth’s climate crisis, enlisting entrepreneurial muscle to help solve global issues that threaten the planet’s habitability.

Gore said he has long been a fan of faster, cheaper, better approaches that allow the private sector to exploit the space resource “in a responsible and creative, and cost-efficient way.”

As an example, Gore spotlighted the competitive and dynamic forces unleashed by the entrepreneurial growth of the Internet.

“We ought to learn that lesson and apply it to space,” Gore said. “Because of the environmental climate crisis, we need to speed up the introduction of private companies into the creative exploitation of the space resource."

Gore spoke as part of a Wirefly X Prize Cup Executive Summit 2006 [image], held here October 19, attended by a range of executives, visionaries and space and high-tech leaders.

Global cooling is upon us!

The ocean temperatures are declining.

Snowstorms are earlier and more fierce.

Hurricanes are failing to appear!

Run for your lives (southwards): the planet is cooling!

Well as long as its doomsday I might as well eat an Alar coated apple full of cyclamates, colored with red dye #2, and pollinated by killer bees.
