Gore admits it is ok to lie and frighten people.......
Q: There's a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about global warming and get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What's the right mix?
A: I think the answer to that depends on where your audience's head is. In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis. -Al Gore
That's exactly what his friends with the towel hats say. I know for a fact he didn't invent that one but he has definitely joined in with HIS band of bros, the ROP.
I can't stand to even look at him and that whiny voice. Like finger nails on the chalk board.
I would be far more frightened by this author's scenario, according ot what I just read here we don't even have 20 years left to prepare for an ice age and no way to stop it; doesn't that give you some pause?
Al Gore = Environmental jihadi?
bump for later read.
