Not to toot Al’s horn…

…but there’s a nice little refreshing online magazine out there called WorldChanging which he’s got his name on. But even though Al Gore may turn some people away from the cause, it’s about time that people start coming together on this front. And reading more about this kind of empowerment and actually doing stuff in response. There isn’t time or reason to wait on the government or the vague and mysterious “someone” to take care of the problems that we have a history of creating.  The WorldChanging site is a dialog about getting started. The book that began it (see below) is now a closed dialog about the same seven principles that are now discussed on the website: Stuff, Shelter, Cities, Community, Business, Politics & Planet.

Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century is a groundbreaking compendium of the most innovative solutions, ideas and inventions emerging today for building a sustainable, livable, prosperous future. From consumer consciousness to a new vision for industry; non-toxic homes to refugee shelters; microfinance to effective philanthropy; socially responsible investing to starting a green business; citizen media to human rights; ecological economics to climate change, this is the most comprehensive, cutting-edge overview to date of what’s possible in the near future — if we decide to make it so.

  1. Al Gore’s widely discredited film “An Inconvenient Truth” that falsely hypes the threat of global warming has now been further discredited. ABC News has discovered that Gore used computer generated footage in his documentary that was taken from the 2004 natural disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow” to fraudulently emphasize the global warming threat. If global warming is such a dire threat to us, why would Gore need to use computer generated footage in the documentary to justify his point? The bottom line is that Gore’s film is based off of lies in order to scare the public into believing that man made carbon emissions are the cause of all of the planet’s environmental problems. Gore ignores scientific data that indicates solar activity is the real cause for planetary warming. Mars and other planets have also experienced rising temperatures the same time that warming has been reported on Earth. So unless man is on other planets emitting carbon, it is clear that solar activity is the cause for the planetary warming. Gore also ignores the fact that this past winter saw record snowfalls and record low temperatures in various parts of the world which indicate that this warming cycle might be coming to an end. Gore’s theories simply don’t add up, but that doesn’t stop him from attempting to recruit a green army of 10 million useful idiots to help him push this agenda. Instead of tackling real environmental problems like chemicals being dumped in oceans, the disappearance of the bees, genetically modified foods, the mixing of human and animal DNA and chemicals being sprayed in the air, Gore would prefer to tackle a problem that isn’t real. This makes Gore a phony environmentalist and he has positioned himself to profit greatly off of this scam. Gore is nothing more than a propagandist who is hyping this phony doomsday scenario so the global elite can justify implementing a planetary carbon tax which will be used to enslave humanity.

  2. Wow, you certainly have a strong opinion about Al Gore that you are quick to copy and paste when you get the chance. I value your viewpoint, but I have one question: do you have the means, power, political/popular respect and recognition to start a movement in the way that Al Gore is right now? I also am skeptical of exactly what global warming (which I prefer to refer to as the world’s thermal heat blanket) really is about and how severe and how soon it will actually pan out. But I have the sense to know that we’ve got big problems going on all over the world that need to be dealt with in the immediate future. Like you said – chemical dumping, etc. That’s only the beginning. I shudder to think of what kind of toxins I’m breathing in from sitting on the chair which has upholstery from who knows where. I could go on and on about the problems we’re facing, but I am pleased to see that there are Americans, whether I agree with their motives, who are capable of calling attention to this huge problem that is bigger than the “green” movement and involves the health, safety, and quality of life for everyone in this generation and each that follows. I’m not referring to the ice caps melting and temperatures raising. I’m talking about birth defects from factory proximity, asthma and allergies from the components of the average American lifestyle. The things we don’t have to put up with, but we do because no one is changing them. If he isn’t doing this, who will? Will you? I’d be happy to support or at least recognize whoever is capable because this is important for all time.
