Al Gore was able to get most people to forget the money he took from the tobacco industry and Buddhist monks by winning both the Nobel Prize and an Oscar for his work on educating the world about the dangers of global warming and other problems that affect the environment.
Gore's problem is that in this economic climate he cannot get himself arrested even for chaining himself to the entrance of a coal-fired electrical plant.
Realistically, trying to improve the environment during a recession is a losing game, even if the North Pole ends up having a climate like Cuba in 10 years.

"1) We are clearly uncomfortable with being called environmentalists. What do we want to be called? What do we want to be known for?" How about STEWARDS? We don't need any sort of 'movement' or 'services' or political agenda, in order to be good stewards of God's Creation.

Actually, that would be a good thing. I don't think that that "North Poleans" would mind getting a climate like Cuba. They'd have to adapt, just like animals and plant life has had to adapt though the ages and climate changes of the past. Their "tourism" would go through the roof, and it would get millions, if not billions of new residents.
