Just received an email from a Prius fan over at Mens Journal letting me know about this upcoming article with Al Gore:

In the June issue of Men's Journal (on sale now), Al Gore talks to the magazine about his family's use of hybrid cars among other things. Thought you'd like to see. The complete text of the article can be found here: http://mensjournal.com/feature/0606/env_gore.html

Al Gore on His and Tipper's use of a hybrid: "...we just got a Lexus hybrid, and our family are big fans of the Prius."

Interesting- as an undergraduate, Gore had Roger Revelle as a professor- I didn't know that. Revelle was an oceanographer who did the first serious measurements of atmospheric CO2. His first papers on the subject were published over 40 years ago- unfortunately, it took awhile for people to recognize the significance of the problem.

Cool.

He might be a bit too boring for highest official office but I do think he's trying to do what he believes is the best for this country

Sad, but true, I think: no politician genuinely concerned about the majority of Americans can ever hope to be president.
The 10% who control 90% of the money will see to that.

It's wonderful what Gore is doing, but I wish he hadn't bought a Lexus hybrid, the gas mileage of which sucks.

Al Gore is an idiot. Global warming is NOT manmade. The Earth is much too big to be affected as dramatically as he discusses. Of course, he neglects to discuss how the ice is getting thicker in Greenland's center, how most of the 6,000 glaciers on Earth are growing.

But don't believe me. Check out Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" or better yet, his speeches found on this website:

http://www.crichton-official.com/speeches/index.html

for a reasonable well thought discussion. For example, isn't it interesting that most of the scientists that think that MANMADE Global warming is a hoax are retired and not seeking funding. Yet those that need funding will only get it if they are politically correct. Crichton even cites one journal article that concludes that manmade warming is real, yet all the detailed evidence inside the article prove the opposite.

Expand your minds and read all points of view. Follow the money trail for interesting insights.
