Gore: Take Personal Responsibility To Stem Crisis

POSTED: 2:27 pm EDT July 24, 2006 UPDATED: 2:30 pm EDT July 24, 2006

CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. -- Former Vice President Al Gore said his conscience is regularly challenged by a consumerism that contributes to the global warming he has made it his mission to reverse.

"It is so hard for those of us who want to live according to our values," Gore said Monday at the Chautauqua Institution, during the latest of countless lectures he has given on the topic.

"We're embedded in a culture that makes it so easy to just go with the flow and support a pattern that's horribly destructive," he said. "And so we need to address this personally."

For Gore, it was a return visit to the western New York think tank used by former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, for debate preparation during campaigns. Gore lectured on global warming here in 1990.

Since then, the consensus that the planet is in crisis has grown stronger, he said, and the ability to make the point is not cluttered by campaign issues like the economy and health care.

"This is by far the most serious challenge that we face or have ever faced," he said during the 90-minute appearance. "None of the other ones will matter if we don't get this right."

Later, Gore planned to sign copies of his book, "An Inconvenient Truth." The related documentary film was being shown on campus.

Unfortunately, I don't believe Deuterium is an element.

D'oh! I meant cesium. :-/

Guess that's why I'm a computer guy and not a chemist, eh?

And manganese is total bullsh*t. Don't get me started on tungsten.

But I am studying this stuff, so I know it...you know, like...

...chinch bugs. You know...

...manganese. A lot of people don't even know what that is.

I'm pretty neutral towards carbon myself.

I like highly pressurized carbon, when it is joined to four other carbons.

I hate cobalt though.

Why? While somewhat wordy, it is a fairly decent progamming language!

You can tell I seldom shop (other than car and boat stores).

Power boat, with twin engines, I hope. I'm going for a ride on mine tonight.

[wideawake]

Well . . . I gotta lot of stuff on order. You know - credit trouble.

That’s great! It’s a quick, easy two-step:

Step One: Calculate your emissions by choosing a carbon calculator to work out what your personal emissions were for last year. For a choice of calculators, see www.earthfuture.com/climate/calculators.

Step Two: After using the calculator, click here to make your contribution to MYSELF, at $10 per pound, care of RobertACookPE@FreeRepublic.com!

I couldn't find Mangana on the atlas. Is it near China?

Mmmmm, I like molybdenum!

All my bullets are now molybdenum coated!

Is this your place? It's really ..... awful.

[gafusa]

Exactly. But Liberals know reality would destroy their fragile, narcissistic existence, so distance themselves from reality as much as possible.

[wideawake]

I have to laugh . . . I've outsmarted even myself.

[Ditto]

How much you want to bet there is a G-4 all fueled-up and and waiting at the Jamestown NY airport so carbon-neutral Al can make his next speaking engagement to a terminally gullible audience.

And you know that if a Republican were pulling this crap, the evening news would be plastered with facts and figures of how much fuel the guy sucks down hustling the idiots.

HEY!

Don't tell me Duet's not an element......
