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.

Algore..... in search of manbearpig, boldly going where no man has gone before.....


Why don't we offer a special use of our "space resources" - a one-way trip beyond the solar system in a spacecraft designed to hold several leading Demagogues such as Algore, who can enjoy the privilege of being the first humans to leave our solar system..... just so long as they promise not to come back!

Pure BS from Al Gore!

The only thing liberals want to allow the private sector to do is to create wealth for the liberal elites to spend as they see fit.

Bigfatalgore...you mean the "problem" will be solved with capitalism rather than through over-taxation and massive gubment overspending?

Say it isn't so! Go back to your Twinkie-eating binge and STHU.

This country has never been faced with a political figure of Gore's standing who has publicly gone insane. What are we to do?

DAMN! The very first posting referenced MBP.

Now THAT is efficiency.

We better be careful, we will end up as defendants at the Nuremberg Environmental Trials if we are not careful...

Gore said that the new space policy, in his view, ignores international law and consensus. “If one nation takes it upon itself to assert its own unilateral definition of what world law should be -- without respect to what the rest of the world thinks about it – that’s usually a mistake,” Gore told Summit attendees. “Policy matters. Law matters. International law matters.”

This is what the Communist-raised Gore really wants. He wants a one world government controlled by the U.N. or something worse. Hey ManBearPig, Americans don't care what the rest of the world wants.

If he's actually wanting to expand industrial development into space, I can agree with him on that. If he's just wanting to eliminate industry on Earth, then he can STFU.

I can't believe this clown was one court ruling away from stealing the presidency.
