Al Gore's Global Warming quote: do you agree or not?
“There are many who still do not believe that global warming is a problem at all. And it's no wonder: because they are the targets of a massive and well-organized campaign of disinformation lavishly funded by polluters who are who are determined to prevent any action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming out of a fear that their profits might be affected if they had to stop dumping so much pollution into the atmosphere." -Al Gore

There is scientific data supporting the existence of global warning, so i mean you can't really argue against it. Yeah sure, there were climate changes before people were around and before they started polluting, but according to data the changes occurring now are no where NEAR what they were back then. I think MOST people refuse to believe in global warming because it causes them inconvenience. Believing in global warming would force these people to change their entire lifestyles. Side: Agree with him
I agree with you. Why would the government would be exposing out something like that? But i kinda disagree on what you say that most people don't agree with global warming. First, most people agree with Global warming and second, people may not change because of their lifestyles. It will mostly be because of that some scientists say that global warming is not happening. And people agree with them. And if for some reason, people are not agreeing at Global warming because on what you think, here is a good website that people can go to know on how to reduce global warming. They don't have to follow all of the things that the website says, but they can follow the most that they can. Side: Agree with him
Yes i do agree with him because alot of peoplea re denying, global warming because they don;t want things to happen to the world like everyone getting made and the world can go crazy. The econmy may drop. and people will be very scared thats probelly why they deny it. Side: Agree with him
Agree, a lot of people are denying it maybe because of that. The economy is going to drop in one way or another. If its not global warming, it will be another. What the government should do is ban regular light bulbs and only put 5 star energy light bulbs in the market. That would reduce global warming one way Side: Agree with him
Agree. People are not driven by this. Global Warming is happening and just look at the evidence. A lot of bad stuff is happening to the world. If people keep polluting or something on what is going on with Global Warming, there is going to be something very bad that is going to happen. Global Warming 101by National Geographic
Side: Agree with him
i agree with gore, the only people i have seen trying to disprove Global warming are owners or pp'l profiting off of coal mines, factories, and etc. it's no longer a question of weather or not global warming exists, the question now is what can we do to stop it. Side: Agree with him
Agree. And that people are sadly believing that Global Warming is not even happening at this stage. And look around, there you see the evidence about Global Warming right there. You see that there is bad media being released for global warming. And the big problem is that people are agreeing with these types of people. Side: Agree with him
I agree with you. A lot of people should actually do something in order to prevent Global Warming from getting worse and then we can't do noting to save the earth. If we keep trying to save Global Warming at our paste, in less than 5 years (on what some scientists say) Global Warming is going to happen. We should prevent it like NOW! And to the people that do not believe in Global Warming is because other scientists may be getting payed on what they are supposed to say or maybe they just don't want to recognize on what is harping to the earth that is in danger. Side: Agree with him
I agree with Al Gore's quote of global warming. There is enough evidence that Global Warming is happening and we should take action to prevent Global Warming to get worse. For example the IATA (International Air Transport Association) achieved a reduction of at least 1.5 million tonnes of CO2. Also states representing 93% of global commercial air traffic reached agreement of further reducing aviation's impact on climate change according to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Side: Agree with him
I agree with you. That is the job of ICAO and IATA in this. Companies like Boring is putting that into work like for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The aircraft will use 20% less fuel for comparable missions than today's similarly sized airplane. Also according to the IATA, The A380 (Airbus A380) and B787 (Boeing 787) are aiming for 3 litres per 100 passenger km. See this website and it shows a lot of very good information that the IATA says about global warming. Side: Agree with him
Very good website. I really like the website and what it says on what the IATA is saying about the feature of global warming and what its doing to prevent the use of the environment to make the world a better place. I really like the website. A lot of good information. Thanks for giving it :D Side: Agree with him
It is possible to use numbers and figures to validate anything you wish to say. In this case, I agree with what Al Gore is saying. The evidence is to strong to deny we (humans) are have a huge effect on the health of this planet. If we cannot continue down this road. Side: Agree with him
Agree. We should do something to prevent from Global Warming getting worse. And i like on what you say that "the evidence is to strong to deny we (humans) are have a huge effect on the health of this planet." Of course that we should make sure that Green house gases do not increase and do not let more sunlight to enter the earth. We should do stuff like buy 5 star appliances, seal and insulate your home, or buy a fuel efficient car and a lot of more stuff that you can prevent from global warming to get worse. What are you talking about "it is possible to use numbers and figures to validate anything you wish to say?" Side: Agree with him
I believe that with any issue, especially political, you need to examine people's motives and be careful not to take whatever they say as truth. However, with this issue, I believe there has been a significant amount of scientific proof to back of the existence of global warming -- to a point that we cannot ignore it any further and should be taking action. Side: Agree with him
To me, it is a cop out to ignore an obviously dangerous issue because it was a politician who brought these issues to light. It seems that people feel more comfortable arguing about the quality or substance of the messenger rather than the facts supporting the opinion. It is obvious that there are some big corporations benefiting from coal emissions and keeping their companies "dirty." Side: Agree with him

It can be true of that but actually, a lot of sites and people are agreeing on what Al Gore said. I think that Al Gore would not just put things outside like that and post stuff like that. He may have did research on his beliefs, and now you see that the government is even punting on what is happening like this website: Side: Agree with him

Al Gore may be full of it, but this particular statement seems blindingly obvious to me. I mean if I were in charge of a $300 billion oil company like ExxonMobil, you bet your ass I would be doing everything in my power to convince people that global warming isn't real. Side: Agree with him
Mostly a lot of people agree that Global Warming is happening. What company can do is to find a way to reduce chemicals that are going to be bad to our environment out. That is what oil company should do. That would be better than spending their money on scientists or people saying that Global Warming is not happening. Side: Don't agree with him

Seems there's a push to deal with the global warming thing. You needn't look farther than the fact that this isn't the first time for "global warming", it has little to do with pollution. I don't even think it really matters though, the topics change, but people will always be swayed by loudmouth politicians attempting to cement their names in history. Side: Don't agree with him

It may depend on the temperature of where you are located. Global Warming is not a joke. It is sadly happening and there is sufficient evidence to prove that there is Global Warming is happening. For example, just see on what is going on to the Polar Bears. Why are the glaciers melting which is going to cause to the polar bears habitat to leave? Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss because of glaciers falling. Just look at this website and video: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/ Public awareness: Global warming HQ

Copenhagen was NOT a big waste of time! It united a lot of the Worlds leaders to talk about Global Warming and to see what can be dune to prevent it from getting worse. Global warming does exist. There is a lot of enough evidence to prove that global warming is happening and that person in the video (not Paul) was being payed. Just think on what is going on to the polar bears at the ice glaciers, they are melting. And the question is why, it is not even a question, its global warming that is causing this tragedy for the poor polar bears. And that is only one thing on what is happening to the animals. First them, next US!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/ Side: Agree with him
Why would I agree or not agree when I'm not a scientist personally studying the issues affecting global warming? Anything I learn is through the media and the media is controlled by those who are powerful and whatever, so I guess let the most powerful people win!!! I don't know about it and I don't care. Why would I care? I don't care if the human species survive another few thousand years or not! As far as I'm concerned, I'd be dead within a hundred years and anything that happens after that is of no concern to me whatsoever! Oh but the later generations will be robbed of a nice looking environment, you say? well, that should give my grandchildren something to do with their time (making the environment better) instead of wasting it all on computer games and whatever. A challenge always brings out the best in people, so I say give the later generations a challenge ;) Side: Don't agree with him
