I don't know if anyone saw it, but Al Gore was on the MTV video music awards.
He showed pictures real quick..."Heres a glacier last year...here it is now" The first pic showed a glacier in winter with snow everywhere and the second picture showed the same glacier(i guess) in summer with grass, weeds, daisies around it. As if he was saying see this winter glacier wonderland is now a tropical paradise we'll all be dead soon if you kids don't riot.
My wife is usually immune to such crap and she was disgusted. That was it, then he left the stage.
What an a$$ clown.
I know glaciers retreat and some go away; and who ever said our planet was supposed to stay the same temperature? There was an ice age a while back, I am glad that is gone.
Scare tactics like that make for emotional response and not level headed thinking.
Then a Queen Latifah said the world population was 1 billion when MTV started and is now approaching 9 billion(actually 7 billion) "we are detroying our planet", she said. But wait the US population only went from 250 million to 290 million.
What the fck do me, my family, my hummer and my fellow americans have to do with that??????
Seems we need MORE HUMMERS to haul all the condoms to those other countries. One child, one more human being, is a thousand times the eviromental impact of a freakin Hummer.
I hope some rap crew backed into Al Gore's Prius with there pimped out Hummer.
