The last time former US Vice President Al Gore discussed the climate change issue with Discovery News, the Copenhagen treaty discussions were in full swing, and Gore expressed at the time that "I choose to be optimistic" about their outcome.
That was a shade under two years ago, and since then, for those concerned that human activities are changing the planet's climate, the outlook seems bleaker. The Copenhagen process failed.
"I think there’s great cause for optimism despite the fact that the US political process has been paralyzed largely by a determined effort by the global warming polluters and their ideological allies in the smother-the-government-in-the-bathtub crowd," he said during a phone conversation with Discovery News.
As part of that effort, Gore's Climate Reality Project is launching a 24-hour event on September 14.
Gore says perhaps "98 percent" of the slideshow is an update of, and different from, the one that formed the basis of the Academy Award-winning An Inconvenient Truth; it will, he says, focus on rebutting the three or four principal assertions made by climate change deniers, and will also focus on the succession of extreme weather events that have occurred globally over the last year.

The science is settled.
We have consensus.
Algore is a raving lunatic.....................
Can’t he just lead his followers off to a compound in Guyana or something?
“Reality”??????
LOL!
Then again I'm preaching to the choir. You have to be able to comprehend Al Sharpton on MSNBC to believe Algore.
Let’s call this event a “Day of Hot Air.”
You have turned into one of my favorite posters!!! After an evil FReeper pinged me with a Maddow picture I needed a good laugh :D
There must be a LOT of money to be made in this scam for someone to so shamelessly pursue it.
Come on.
Gore + “24 hours of reality”??
Oxymoron.
Stanford’s Woods Institute awards 2011 round of Environmental Venture Projects
Facilitating Pro-Environmental Behavior: The goal of this project is to transform the typical nature-based tourism experience into a platform for motivating and sustaining pro-environmental behaviors among the world’s 70 million-plus ecotourists.

But I saw part of the "Day After Tomorrow" on one of the movie channels, and there was not one scientific fact included in that show. I mean NYC turning into a climate colder than Pluto in 24 hours and hundreds of giant tornados in Los Angeles in 24 hours?
Read the tagline or hell i'll just state it. Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER!!!
Sex Poodle Alert.
That pose seems to have a touch of “Dr. Evil” to it.
Algore is wearing out that “hope” thing trying to keep his hoax and scam alive. Summer is almost over and that pesky winter is on the way. It’s tough to sell global warming in the winter.
Actually it’s a pretty easy sell when you hold your annual Global Baloney conference in, say, Kauai or Bali.
24 hours of eating different varities of pie? Yes.
24 hours of psychiatric evaluation? Yes.
24 hours of “reality”? Never.
