Le Bourget (France) (AFP) - Nobel laureate Al Gore said at the Paris climate summit on Thursday that humanity must change how it lives, travels and grows food in order to avert global warming catastrophe.
"Do we really have to change the energy and transportation and agriculture and forestry systems in the world and shift to a low-carbon pattern?" the former US vice president asked in a speech.
"The answer is 'Yes'... because now the answer is coming from nature itself," he said.
Gore pointed to a string of extreme droughts, record-breaking downpours and high tides, along with melting Arctic ice as evidence of climate change.
"The television news every evening is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations," said Gore, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work on climate change.
He added that the scientific community is "virtually unanimous" on the existence of man-made climate change and the evidence is "just as clear as it is for the existence of gravity."

What matters is finding people who want to believe in something, and selling them what they want to believe in.
"The world is going to end, and YOU - yes YOU PERSONALLY - can save it! Just buy my stuff, along with these squiggly little light bulbs, and drive a Prius!".
Pretty strong message for the weak, especially those who desperately want to be a part of something bigger, anyway. What's bigger than saving the entire world? And, who wouldn't want to proselytize to the ignorant (conservative) masses, who are just too uninformed and stubborn to see things the same way?
He's selling religious dogma, and he's very good at it. Good enough to be worth nine figures or so, if Tipper didn't get a big chunk in the divorce.
So where are all the meteor strikes, earthquake damage and poisoned waters? Why haven't I heard about us non-Christians having grievous sores on our bodies?
There haven't been any stories of monstrous winged beings putting people in excruciating pain for five months, either.
Global Warming PING!
I’d new willing to sacrifice Algore’s carbon emissions, I’d that helps. And his chakras, for that matter.
By the way, what is the forecast for Paris today?

Those who don't stand with Gore lose their jobs, their grants, their right to be published. I'll tell you who Gore is: Gore's the man who yells, "Hey we need some muscle over here..."
He's a thug... a bully...
