Gore has a crack at John Howard

20/09/2007 7:19:00 AM.  | 

LATEST FEATURES

Former US Vice-President Al Gore says he still has a bone to pick with John Howard, for not ratifying the Kyoto agreement.

Mr Gore, who's now a leading climate crusader, has again referred to Australia and the US as the Bonnie and Clyde of the climate crisis - just as he did on a visit here last year.

He's repeated his calls for Australia to ratify Kyoto, describing it as the world's effort to come up with rules that applied to everybody.

Mr Gore also suggests action by Australia on Kyoto could force America to follow suit.

The PM has argued that Kyoto isn't in Australia's interests even though Australia has met its emission reduction goals.

Does the term "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face"sound familiar? Because your PM apparently hates to be proven wrong? All this to try and pretend Global Warming doesn't exist, or something so ridiculous as that? If his numbers were down before with all of his cozying up to Bush and special interests, this should REALLY help. (sic) Time for a COOL change Gore

Linda: Don't tell me you believe the rot Al Gore is trumpeting around the world? If he was serious he would start within himself, the method of travelling around the U.S., his homes, and all of the lies (proven by eminent scientists) that his movie is full of bunk! The climate has been changing over the eons and will continue when we are dead and gone. 1934 was the hottest year on record in the world! You know why he earned an Oscar and Emmy--it was for his ability to hoodwink people!

People don’t know what to do or who will help if a major disaster happens, claims a twelve year old. Everybody, including the governments of the world, should get it through their heads that global warming and climate change is actually happening, and is going to change the way we live. Many governments have stuck their heads in the sand, and don’t want to know about it. Members of parliament should listen to children because we are concerned about things that can can happen us.

Hey Linda from Santa Fe, I think you are suffering from heat stroke what with all this global warming - a concept which is still not backed up by scientific fact - our PM is a very competent and clever man who doesn't need to cozy up to anyone. And just thinking about the Labor Party and the Democrats in power gives me the cold shivers - cool change indeed.

Cheryl, global warming is very well backed up by scientific facts. The problem is the causes and reasons for global warming are disputed. The majority of climate scientist are claiming that the strongest causes for global warming are human causes. Of the remainder, most claim global warming is caused by various natural/non human causes.

May I suggest big al gore try hanging around the presidents of russia and china preceding their elections for some bones instead of trying our patience on his hip hop flogging of a non science approach to energy progress in a modern world.

Everyone seems so quick to jump on the speaker for climate change but I don't hear the same people making real suggestions to deal with the issue. I belong to a very small group of concerned people and quit frankly I am bored to death of the accusations and denials presented to what is assumed the non thinking population. How about some simple solutions like collecting rainwater and using grey water. How about if everyone had their own vege patch and relied less on the corporate bodies.

I think its a bit rich of AL Gore comming over here and charging $2,50000 to tell us there is global warming , we already know that.It is not entirely a man made thing.We do need to manage our resources better,does he think we are a back water country that needs the American touch, after all they have done such a grand job .

Angelia: Your remark that the climate has been changing for eons is absolutely correct. The one "small" point you have neglected to mention, and may not be aware of, is that an EON is a rather long period of time. The warming and cooling of our planet is normally measured in terms of GEOLOGICAL time. This most recent warming has occurred in the the last century with drastic increase in the last 2 to 3 DECADES. Are you able to recognize the difference?
