Their college tour ended, Sheryl Crow and Laurie David describe their efforts to stop global warming as part of the "most important mission" of the times. That's the hope of Grammy-winning rocker Crow and David, who produced the Oscar-winning documentary movie "An Inconvenient Truth. Advertisement "It's great to go out and play music, and I love that, too. And it's also nice to make money. But this is not that," Crow said in an interview on Sunday in Washington. "This is a whole bunch of people dedicating their time, their lives, working for free, for a mission. And it is...

After 14 years of marriage and two children, Laurie and Larry David have reportedly decided to call it quits, according to the New York Post. The breakup has been civil, concerning no known third parties, the Post says.

Although skeptics of manmade global warming have successfully challenged many of the evidentiary claims made by the alarmists, and the alarmists have conceded errors in the “hockey stick” and in computer models, there is one important aspect of the problem that has not yet been conceded – the relationship between increases in temperature and increases in CO2 emission. Recently a commenter on my blog took me to task for not understanding the relationship, and directing me to a website that claimed this relationship is the “smoking gun” in favor of the alarmists. If you graph the relationship over a few...

Storms! Floods! Riots! Looting! Blackouts! These are all the things that Laurie David is back to warning us about in her latest Huffington Post blog, This is the Face of Global Warming: As severe storms and the resultant flooding continue to batter the Midwest with deadly results, the media is filled with scary stories of the destruction and misery being inflicted. We see headlines about 300,000 Chicagoans without power, state of emergency declarations across four other states, dozens killed by storms from Texas to Minnesota, flooded interstates, and thousands of flooded homes and businesses. It's now commonplace to see news...

Readers of Hollywood news already know that Laurie David has filed for divorce from her husband, Larry David, the creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm and co-creator of Seinfeld. Mrs. David's papers cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. This past Sunday, the New York Post cast some light on the nature of those differences. Over the past year, neighbours have seen Mrs. David in a variety of amorous postures with a younger man, "her hottie but dumb building contractor," as one of those neighbours describes him. OK, stop right there -- this is the National Post, not the...

Laurie David filed divorce papers citing "irreconcilable differences" with the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" TV comic. But there was speculation her sudden rise to fame from producing the Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" had strained the 14-year marriage. Spies have noticed activity at the Davids' sprawling 76-acre compound in the island's Chilmark neighborhood - which they call "Camp David." "She creeps over at 11 p.m." to her barn where Thorpe is living, said one resident. Thorpe arrived at Camp David in March after moving out of the home he kept with his wife. Chilmark residents said it all started when Thorpe...

Funnyman Larry David's wife of 14 years has filed for divorce. Laurie David filed court papers in Los Angeles Superior Court citing irreconcilable differences on July 13. The 49-year-old An Inconvenient Truth producer is seeking joint custody of their two children, Cazzie, 13, and Romy, 10.

THE inconvenient truth for Laurie and Larry David is that their marriage is over. The couple has separated after 14 years and two kids. Laurie - a liberal die-hard who produced "An Inconvenient Truth" and recently toured with Sheryl Crow to promote global warming - was starting to overshadow her husband, the co-creator of "Seinfeld" and star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

June 5, 2007 -- THE inconvenient truth for Laurie and Larry David is that their marriage is over. The couple has separated after 14 years and two kids. Laurie - a liberal die-hard who produced "An Inconvenient Truth" and recently toured with Sheryl Crow to promote global warming - was starting to overshadow her husband, the co-creator of "Seinfeld" and star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The official word is the split is very amicable, and no other parties are involved.

We hope that by the time you read this, the solutions to global warming will be well under way. You already know from living with us, how concerned we are about this problem. Sometimes, we go over board with our reactions to everyday annoyances like over -packaged products, leaving lights on in the room, taking too long a shower or leaving your chargers in the wall. We embarrass you when we glare at hummer drivers and or get emotional when we talk about drowning polar bears. But we do this because all of the things that we love and care...

It's been well over a week since our little run in with the adviser to our president. I am just now processing all that took place during the last few days of the Stop Global Warming College tour and a few concerns still hang heavy on my mind and heart. First, I am deeply concerned over where we are as a nation. We are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, what terrifies me is not what we are ignoring about the state of our...

Against an elegant backdrop of political cocktail partying, singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow and top presidential adviser Karl Rove got into a heated exchange over global warming at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Crow recently joined forces with Hollywood activist Laurie David in the “Stop Global Warming College Tour,” which pretty much is what it says. The duo was seen in a heated conversation with Rove, in an incident which quickly became the evening’s centerpiece of discussion. An eye-witness recounted what they saw: “Sheryl and Karl Rove were talking. Karl looked annoyed and she was poking him [angrily]. He...

I just got an eyewitness account of the Karl Rove-Laurie David-Sheryl Crow encounter at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night, and it suggests that David and Crow were a bit more confrontational than they portrayed themselves in their own account of the incident, published in the Huffington Post. In their story, David and Crow write, "The 'highlight' of the evening had to be when we were introduced to Karl Rove. How excited were we to have our first opportunity ever to talk directly to the Bush Administration about global warming." The eyewitness says the person who introduced David to...

Rove Debates Warming With Crow, David Apr 22 11:15 AM US/Eastern WASHINGTON (AP) - Karl Rove's debate with singer Sheryl Crow and producer Laurie David about global warming heated the atmosphere at a black-tie Washington dinner. On the eve of Earth Day, Crow and "Inconvenient Truth" producer David walked over to the presidential adviser's table at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night at the Washington Hilton. Their differences on global warming quickly bubbled over, the Washington Post reported Sunday. "I am floored by what I just experienced with Karl Rove," David said later. "I went over to him...

Most people are probably not familiar with Joe Kernen, a morning anchor for the financial network CNBC. On Tuesday, he invited singer Sheryl Crow and “An Inconvenient Truth” schlockumentary producer Laurie David on to discuss their “Stop Global Warming College Tour.” As Kernen tried to present the skeptics’ side of this debate, the ladies clearly got uncomfortable and, to say the least, a bit defensive with their interviewer. For instance, when Kernen referenced the British documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” and presented evidence from it refuting anthropogenic global warming theories, David astoundingly responded : Well, I haven’t seen it,...

"We're on a mission from God." -- Dan Aykroyd as Elwood, "The Blues Brothers"NBC is also on a mission -- from Gore. NBC announced its allegiance to Al Gore's stop-global-warming mission on this morning's "Today." With Tom Costello narrating, Today first ran a glowing piece on Timberland shoe company, famous for its boots, which has announced that, you guessed it, it's on a "mission" to become "carbon neutral." To achieve that, it will among other things be using wind farms and solar panels to power its factories. Costello emphasized an expert's opinion that "it's up to each one of us...

Move over, Chicken Little. A children's book planned for release in September is an attempt to "fill the minds of children with 'sky-is-falling' global warming hysteria," a Republican senator warns. The producer of former Vice President Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" is hard at work on a new project: writing a book to help school kids "understand why global warming happens." Scholastic, Inc. - one of the world's largest publishers of children's books, including the "Harry Potter" series - announced Monday that its Orchard Books imprint "has acquired world rights to 'The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming' by Laurie...

An offer to distribute Al Gore's movie about the threat of global warming has put the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) on the hot seat. Producer and environmental activist Laurie David—wife of comedian Larry David—assumed that NSTA would be all too happy to send its members free copies of An Inconvenient Truth, the climate change tutorial by the former vice president that was a surprise hit at the box office. All NSTA had to do was write a cover letter. But NSTA declined the offer, citing a 2001 policy prohibiting endorsements of any product or message by an outside organization....

AN INCONVENIENT CONTROVERSY The rest of the story about science teachers Wednesday, December 13, 2006 Steve Edwards In an op-ed article published in The Oregonian ("Science a la Joe Camel," Dec. 2), Laurie David writes about the National Science Teachers Association's rejection of an offer of 50,000 copies of Al Gore's global warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth." The company that produced the film offered to give the copies to the teachers association for distribution to its members and also asked that the association write a cover letter. The association declined the offer, stating that it would violate a policy in...

At hundreds of screenings this year of "An Inconvenient Truth," the first thing many viewers said after the lights came up was that every student in every school in the United States needed to see this movie. The producers of former vice president Al Gore's film about global warming, myself included, certainly agreed. So the company that made the documentary decided to offer 50,000 free DVDs to the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) for educators to use in their classrooms. It seemed like a no-brainer. The teachers had a different idea: Thanks but no thanks, they said.

It’s a peculiar thing that as the threat of global terrorism reaches a crescendo, so apparently does the threat of global warming—at least that’s what some would have us believe. Tough, national-security language is borrowed from the former and applied to the latter to make the case: "I really consider this a national security issue,” celebrity activist and “An Inconvenient Truth” producer Laurie David said, and hoped the film would serve as a “wake-up call.” “Truth” star Al Gore calls global warming a “planetary emergency” and speaks of a clash between “civilization and the planet.” Likewise, Bill Clinton’s “first worry”...

by L.N. Smithee July 18, 2006 Although it is far from the overwhelming box office success of Michael Moore's factually-challenged "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11, Al Gore and producer Laurie David's glorified campaign ad/PowerPoint presentation An Inconvenient Truth is a hit...for a documentary. This is not surprising, because few documentaries have the backing that this one does: it stars a nationally known figure in former Vice President Al Gore (who, remember, got the majority of votes cast nationwide in the 2000 election), is co-produced by a well-known celebrity spouse (Laurie David, wife of professional schlemiel Larry David and a quasi-environmentalist who loves...

Heat waves. Melting glaciers. Rising sea levels. Catastrophic storms. Migrating viruses. Population displacement. Over the past 100 years, the mass consumption of fossil fuels, especially in America, has contributed to a dangerous warming of the earth that has adversely impacted the way we live. The cautionary documentary TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE offers a guide to the effects of global warming in the United States.

<p>The news that Larry David's wife, Laurie, will appear on a CBS soap opera warning of the evils of global warming strikes some as funny.</p> <p>Jackie Mendez-Diaz, for one, could barely curb her amusement yesterday. ''Laurie's such a hypocrite," said Mendez-Diaz, who lives next door to the Davids on Martha's Vineyard.</p>

The New Fat Cats Fri Apr 2, 3:59 PM ET Add Business - BusinessWeek Online to My Yahoo! Laurie David doesn't consider herself part of a special-interest lobby seeking political favors. She's just a determined environmentalist who's raising gobs of money to defeat President George W. Bush (news - web sites). What does she want in return? For starters, stronger pollution-control laws for utilities and tougher fuel-economy standards for Detroit. Oh, and she would also like the next President to sign the Kyoto treaty committing the U.S. to significant cuts in greenhouse gases. For years, David, 45, has raised money...
