Nicholas Kristof: I ran into Al Gore at a climate/energy conference this month, and he vibrates with passion about this issue -- recognizing that we should confront mortal threats even when they don't emanate from Al Qaeda.
"We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer," he said, and (perhaps because my teenage son was beside me) he encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carbon sources.
"I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers," Mr. Gore said, "and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants."

Did Al Gore just tell you off?

Al Gore calls for civil disobedience
http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2007/8/16/62545/5027
I guess he isn't going to run after all.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Al Gore is a liar and a hypocrite. We can tell by his actions that even he doesn’t believe what he says because if he did, he would be changing his lifestyle and he’s not.
Let’s start with his private jet, shall we?
Then we’ll move to his Limo, and on to his house and SUV’s!
Civil disobedience? Alright! Let’s surround Algore’s mansions and SUVs and jets so he can’t ruin the earth. Let’s shut off his microphones and cameras powered by evil coal power plants. Let’s not allow Algore to buy carbon credits. Onward, young skulls of mush! Hold Algore to the same standards as everyone else.
Maybe because the guys driving the bulldozers would drive right over them and flatten their elite, effete rears into biodegradeable compost?
The caveat in this that “Crazy Al” and his “Willing Idiots” would be wise to keep in mind is should some sort of civil disobedience movement get started, inevitably it would degress into attacks on personal property. Should this happen, especially in the south and the west (especially here in Texas) it would not bode well for the physical well being of the Greenies.
That's because you're an idiot. But I'm glad you feel this way 'cause if you hadn't been anti-coal you probably would have won West Virginia and would have been elected to the presidency in 2000.
Is this from the Onion?
What...???
Hurricane Dean is a stalkin’
Earthquakes are a rockin’
Volcanoes are a poppin’
Vick is a coppin
Padilla ain’t gonna be walkin’
and it be all Bush’s fault
Cause al Gore is a talkin’
“Just curious - how many coal-fired power plants are actually under construction right now for his minions to block?”
Probably some in China, but we know what *they* do to people blocking the streets.
He’s just drumming up business for his ‘carbon credits’ Generation Investment Management company.
block his entrance to the grocery store also.
Al Gore should do his own part to halt carbon emissions by keeping his big yap shut. There has got to be more carbon dioxide laden hot air spewing from his fat piehole than 10,000 coal fired plants are spewing as we speak!
What a tool!
Boy what heroes the left has to admire and emulate.
His son could join in blocking bulldozers if he’d slow down to 100 or so.
Half the electricity in America is from coal burning power plants. Gore is either engaging in gaseous emissions of his own, or going insane at an accelerated rate.
Probably MORE than half the power plants in China are coal-burning. And they are far less fussy about pollution.
With the Utah Mine incident, I'd opt for strip mining as the best way to go forward. Our coal resources are enormous and processing has changed over the years for these damn environmentalist know it alls.
