actually. this isnt a forum to debate the prescence of a climatye crisis. undoubtedly, there is one! but it has been around for a while. why NOW, is al gore so passionately{with RENEWED passion mind you, far more than ever before} boosting it in the media. surely there are more immediate issues reqiuring his face and influence. why this one which is turning effort and energy of the left away from countering the blatant crimes of the right wing?
like the current state of the world. illegal wars, deception, genocides, corporate monopolies, no freedom of expression, economic blackmailing, prescence and develpment of nuclear weaponry, largest amount being spent on wars or preperation for wars, drought, hunger, aids, crippling diseases. that sort of thing.
