Earlier, I posted the transcript of Al Gore’s Nobel Lecture. Words are good, but there is nothing like seeing the man and feeling the energy behind his words:
Powerful message, powerful delivery.
What did you think? How did you feel watching him? What kind of personal actions is it inspiring?
More than ever, I am determined to devote my life to this cause.

I love your last few days of post and above all this video – I wondered if the room gelt shame – guess that’s the only way I can verbalize it – there is influence in that room. With all that influence is each of them taking action ? Joining hands?? I find myself torn in many directions with these ponderings. Partly I feel like who are we kidding – this global warming is way bigger than us and me, but then I feel small minded to think that the efforts and the journey to foster change – huge change – is really worth the effort – YET—what if we all really tried and accomplished something ?? I know in my heart I want to be part of that somehow. I think of labor in china for companies like walmart and who knows else and get furious and then think of these china wig makers who make by hand wigs for people who suffer hair loss from chemo or genetic disposition – these wigs are so exquisitely made and alter the lives of these individuals – how do we continue to find the good, foster change and best yet acknowledge that things are changing – i’d like to believe they are
in contrast have you seen the artic tale ?? Darling little nature expose – we watched it this past weekend ( more my speed – this gets sooo heady for me )
I appreciate the languaging and thought process you bring to it – helps me make sense of it all

Here Here!! Me too
Marta,
Would love to join efforts . . .
Karen,
As always, thanks for bringing your earthiness and heart into this discussion. I appreciate it tremendously.
[…] crusade against what he calls a “planetary emergency” won him an Academy Award and a Nobel Prize. Yet the American public is not fully persuaded that global climate change is an imminent problem. […]
He’s such a motivating speaker!
Yes. He and Robert Kennedy Jr.
[…] synonymous with the climate fight cause, and you have earned worldwide recognition, last with the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s all good, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all you have […]
For anyone who cares to do the most minimal of research themselves, it would be clear that in the last 10 years at least, when China has been building the equivalent of one coal fired power station a week, that the planet has actually been cooling. What is it with the media, an industry which is supposed to seek out and report the facts, seems incapable of doing so? It takes a small amount of basic investigation to show that this whole manmade global warming story is just that, a story. It’s put out by very powerful people, including Al Gore himself, to serve the vested economic interests of the elite including Al Gore’s own carbon trading company Generation Investment Management.
Let’s be clear about one thing and that’s the hypocrisy of Al Gore. This is a man with considerable holdings, not only in the company mentioned above but also in Occidental Oil. This company is responsible for the destruction of the ancestral home of the Kitanemuk Indians in the Elk Hills of Central California. At the time environmentalists filed a lawsuit against his company under the Endangered Species Act to no avail as drilling went ahead.
Another indigenous population, the U’wa of North-eastern Columbia were removed from their ancestral homes. The 5000 strong community even threatened mass suicide if Occidental started drilling but this was also ignored by Occidental Oil, again ignoring the concerns of environmentalists.
These are just a couple of examples of the utter hypocrisy of Al Gore. There are many more. This is the man we are supposed to trust to be giving us the facts behind manmade global warming despite his film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ being pulled apart and shown to contain numerous incorrect assumptions and blatant falsehoods.
So, we need more electricity. Well how about exploring the technology of Nikola Tesla for a start? This was the man who invented the first ever hydro electric power station at Niagara Falls, still in use today. This genius was a compulsive inventor of electrical machines, the technologies of which are still used 65 years after his death. It has been reported many times that at least half of his inventions have been suppressed by powerful corporations, particularly the energy industry. The reason for this is that Tesla seemingly proved that electricity could be provided free to everyone on the planet. He also proved that cables were unnecessary for transporting it. He is also said to have invented the magnetic generator which used no fuel whatsoever and worked using magnets to rotate a turbine which produced the required electricity. This could be built to any scale for any intended generation needs and indeed would be possible for every single house on the planet to have their own. This would cut the need for power generating plants and completely nullify energy production pollution emissions of any kind. It could also be used to run any type of motorised vehicles. Yes, planes, trains and automobiles!
This of course would not be in the interests of the corporations who own our energy companies, car makers etc.
It’s about time reporters/journalists started to investigate the real world instead of listening to spin doctors and vested interests who will simply tell you what they want you to report. In essence you need to start taking some pride in your profession and seek out the truth! Manmade global warming is a complete scam.
The truth shall set us all free.
