The first ad likens the battle against climate change to U.S. troops storming the beaches at Normandy during World War Two, the struggle for civil rights and the drive to send humans to the moon.

"We didn't wait for someone else" to tackle these historic problems, the actor William H. Macy says in the spot. "We can't wait for someone else to solve the global climate crisis. We need to act now."

I find this commercial extremely offensive. To compare global warming kooks with men who sacrificed and saw their fellow soldiers be blown apart on the beaches is sickening.

It's just as bad to compare someone who marched in a protest march in the 60’s with those at Normandy.

Figures, Al Bore had a hand in this. Look what I just found...

Gore launches $300 mln climate change campaign

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Al Gore, former U.S. vice president, Academy Award winner and Nobel peace laureate, on Monday launched a $300 million, three-year campaign to mobilize Americans on climate change.

"We can solve the climate crisis, but it will require a major shift in public opinion and engagement," Gore said in a statement.

(snip)

A longtime environmental activist, Gore chairs the Alliance for Climate Protection, which unveiled the "We" campaign with a series of videos, a Web site -- www.wecansolveit.org -- and a television advertisement set to air during such programs as "American Idol," "House," and "Law & Order."

The first ad likens the battle against climate change to U.S. troops storming the beaches at Normandy during World War Two, the struggle for civil rights and the drive to send humans to the moon.

"We didn't wait for someone else" to tackle these historic problems, the actor William H. Macy says in the spot. "We can't wait for someone else to solve the global climate crisis. We need to act now."

Future spots are expected to feature such "unlikely allies" as civil rights activist Al Sharpton and conservative preacher Pat Robertson, and country singers Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks speaking together against climate change.

"What's different about this (campaign) is for the first time ever, we're going to be able to reach the general public in their daily lives through television, through media, through community-based organizations ... and online," Cathy Zoi, the alliance's chief executive officer, said by telephone.

The more this asshat opens his piehole, the more stupid he looks. I have seen this stupid commercial and all I do is roll my eyes. The very idea of likening his fake cause to the invasion of Nazi-held Europe is beyond ludicrous.

[norraad]

Yeah, whatever happened to sendin' humans to the moon? As, in,

"You know where your goin', . . Alice,

To the M O O N!!"

Normandy and Global Warming have nothing in common.

However, Gore and those that follow this nonsense are like the Taliban, they are fundamentalists.

Is anybody asking where the he77 did AlGore get three hundred million dollars?

[Thombo2]

Al Gore-modern day snake oil salesman?Rhetorical question:Is he so dumb/naive that he actually believes in global warning,or is he just in it for the money and laughing all the way to the bank?

"We can solve the climate crisis, but it will require a major shift in publi-

--What? -- I can feel warming even now as I speak!

It is all around my pantcuffs and travelling up my leg...it's..

OH. Gorzaloon peeing on me again."

For comparison to the $300 million spent on TV ads (propping up the MSM that props up leftism), there is a 3-year campaign by Rotary International to raise $100,000,000, matched by another $100,000,000 by the Gates foundation, to eradicate polio from the face of the planet.

I saw that stupid ad. At the end, it said something about the “global climate crisis.” I guess that’s so they don’t have to pay for two separate ads, when it changes from “global warming” back to “global cooling” again.

[nyconse]

The problem all parties have grabbed on to this issue. My only hope is the American people wake up from worshiping Obarama enough to see what a farce this is. The press is Europe have front page articles on man made global warming on a daily basis. The idea that man can have such an impact of global weather is the height of arrogance. I hope and pray people come to their senses. Although I do not hold out much hope.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

The problem is there are idiots out there who will suck this stuff up.

[PGalt]

D-Day was the day Al Gore got his report card.

[MaxMax]

300 Million? Gore sure knows how to spend those carbon credits..

[ovrtaxt]

Cool. When do we get to call in airstrikes against the eviro-whacks?

For 300 mil he could buy everyone a prias and end poverty. LOL. What a waste of money.

Harvey the Rabbit is a more apt comparison, as “Global Warming” is Al’s invisable friend.

"We can solve the climate crisis, but it will require a major shift in public policy"

birds of a feather...

"The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."

"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."

"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."
