Gore in 24-hour broadcast to convert climate skeptics Photo 8:10am EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Former President Al Gore will renew his 30-year campaign to convince skeptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events this week in a 24-hour global multi-media event.
"24 Hours of Reality" will broadcast a presentation by Al Gore every hour for 24 hours across 24 different time zones from Wednesday to Thursday, with the aim of convincing climate change deniers and driving action against global warming among households, schools and businesses.
The campaign also asks people to hand over control of their social networking accounts on Facebook and Twitter to it for 24 hours to deliver Gore's message.
"There will be 200 new slides arguing the connection between more extreme weather and climate change," Trewin Restorick, chief executive of the event's UK partner Global Action Plan, told Reuters on Monday.
"There will be a full-on assault on climate skeptics, exploring where they get their funding from."
FK that scamming SOB!
Ha ha ha!
ROTFLMAO!
The GORE-A-THON!
Greenbacks for carbon credits -all payable to me!
If he only yells louder and more stridently will the slow deniers comprehend his superior knowledge of the science involved.
They embarass themselves. They're all starting to remind me of this guy:
OMG, we're doomed!
What, like a Jerry Lewis telethon?!?!?! I can’t wait to see him at hour 23. Fat, sweaty, his shirt tail out of his pants. Stumbling around like a drunk with his arm around someone, looking direct in the camera begging people to believe. Then telling the story about how believers need to treat non-believers like he treated racists in the old South. “Tell them: you know, people just don’t talk that way any more.”
Gore is operating under the premise that if you tell lies over and over, some people will believe them. He is right. Some will.
Uncorrupted scientists need to counter this guy for scientific—not political—reasons. When the science is right, uncorrupted politicians will follow.
Hilarious. All Gore for 24. Yikes!
This should just about do it. After 24, no more Gore.
Former “President”? Al Gore.
Well despite the fevered fantasy of the “reporters”, we never had to withstand an Al Gore Presidency.
Now he’s reduced to a telethon.
Well. We Tennessee voters tried to keep him from doing more harm in a position of power. I’m sure if we could vote to stop him from rampaging the countryside swinging his hammer of doom we would. But we only have so much control over our citizens.
Is it gonna be on his DOA cable channel? Y’know, the one with about 12 viewers?
LOL...this is like a bratty temper tantrum! OK guys, I’m gonna yell and scream ALL DAY until I get my way.
Whatta dooche.
What’s the “carbon footprint” to create, broadcast and watch this piece of work?
Perfect!
Hey Al!
I’ll challenge you to a 1 hour debate on the subject.
My credentials?
I passed 8th grade science.
I burn my garbage.
Just thought I’d mention it...
who is funding this quivering blob for a 24 hour propaganda-thon?
Make sure you toss in plenty of styrofoam and tires next time.
somehow...I suspect the concept of making people pay to breath and pass gas just isn’t a real easy sell...just a guess there-
—Make sure you toss in plenty of styrofoam and tires next time.—
Actually, the plasic bottles allow me to use less deisel to keep it going. It’s kinda interesting. I produce so little “final” garbage that I drop it off at the trash receptical at the gas station every couple of fill-ups.
That includes recycling the aluminum, which is actually worth something.
Is he up to 350 yet ?
I will start with a very simple question Mr Gore. If you believe in Global Warming / Climate Change and the obvious need to reduce one’s carbon footprint, why did you buy your new modest ocean-view bachelor pad ($9 million / six fireplaces / five bedrooms / nine bathrooms) in Montecito, California? Why do I smell a scam artist at work?
350 Million Dollars (of our money), or 350 pounds? Just asking.
Using some of the ideas at this site
can actually make some good use of your garbage.
(Convert it to H2, CO, and other burnable hydrocarbons, and run them through a generator.)
So it will be 1 hour repeated 24 times. Isn't there something in the Constitution about "cruel and unusual punishment?"
If watching Sponge Bob causes attention deficit, Al Gore’s narrative of 200 slides should cause catatonia.
Man-made global warming, it’s just so yesterday.
How about he debate a skeptic rather than a 24 hr lecture? Settled Science as a drinking game could kill.
Pray for America
Selling “things” [carbon credits] that REPRESENT air
just isn’t an easy sell.
It’s not even “selling air”, it’s selling “fiat air”.
Y'all can stop reading right there.
If I had facebook or could twitter, I would spend my time ridiculing and denegrating ol’ Al. Could be sorta fun.
LLS
Funny how nobody ever sees a need to “convert” people who are skeptical about gravity.
This sounds more painful than a 6 CD Yoko Ono Retrospective.
Nobody has figured out a way to get rich selling “gravity credits”.
Back in the early 70’s we used to dump water, draino and aluminum foil into the bottom of a one litre 7-up bottle (they were glass back then) to produce hydrogen. We’d use it to fill up balloons and release them with a lit string at night.
Real purdy when they popped.
The heat generated would eventually break the bottle, btw.
Bookmarked the site. And thanks! I have plenty of acreage to exploit for this sort of thing.
24 hrs of boredom!

Funny thing about Americathon. All 16 political predictions made by it came true.

That reminds me, did anyone get their Exxon Mobile check this month? Mine is late.
Ooooo. Nice one.
