Gore in 24-hour broadcast to convert climate skeptics Photo 8:10am EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Former President Al Gore will renew his 30-year campaign to convince skeptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events this week in a 24-hour global multi-media event.
"24 Hours of Reality" will broadcast a presentation by Al Gore every hour for 24 hours across 24 different time zones from Wednesday to Thursday, with the aim of convincing climate change deniers and driving action against global warming among households, schools and businesses.
The campaign also asks people to hand over control of their social networking accounts on Facebook and Twitter to it for 24 hours to deliver Gore's message.
"There will be 200 new slides arguing the connection between more extreme weather and climate change," Trewin Restorick, chief executive of the event's UK partner Global Action Plan, told Reuters on Monday.
"There will be a full-on assault on climate skeptics, exploring where they get their funding from."
Nobody has figured out a way to get rich selling “gravity credits”.
Back in the early 70’s we used to dump water, draino and aluminum foil into the bottom of a one litre 7-up bottle (they were glass back then) to produce hydrogen. We’d use it to fill up balloons and release them with a lit string at night.
Real purdy when they popped.
The heat generated would eventually break the bottle, btw.

24 hrs of boredom!
