Ex-vice president calls Kyoto refusal a threat to future.

By Eric Johnson
Staff writer

BEVERLY HILLS — On the day the Kyoto environmental protocol went into effect, former Vice President Al Gore slammed what he called the nation's apathy toward an imminent global warming crisis at a talk Wednesday at the Beverly Hilton.

Gore, who has been trying to raise awareness of the issue since he came to Congress in 1976, said rising global temperatures threaten the most remote ecosystems to the most populous urban areas.

"Glaciers don't care about politics or ideologies, they just melt or freeze," he said. "It is deeply unethical to do this to future generations."

2. denying Global Warming is like...
denying the Holocaust

Both are empirically provable...and only political partisanship prevents certain people from admitting it.

6. Too much BS
When you hit people with hundreds of BS stories on GW. It's no surprise that many people won't listen to the "Chicken Littles" anymore.


So when people ignore the warnings on GW. Thank the crowd that just made up "Facts".
