It's best to ignore him or delete his abusive attack posts. FYI- the poster known as “Stark” is either working for the fossil fuel industry or some front group funded by the fossil fuel industry.

If you say something enough times, it becomes true. So, instead of saying, the best we can do for now is CCS and 80% by 2050, we should be repeating -- pull the $9 Billion that went to Coal in the 2005 energy bill and throw that into Renewables! For more instances of Al Gore saying things that we and every child with common sense can tell you, but it still feels great to have some famous guy say them, see his recent comments on Mountain Top Removal Coalmining http://www.wvablue.com/showDiary.do;jsessionid=1D2DCBA64018DF9D0CA84D269F8D4451?diaryId=2737 Re: Matt’s Comment, I think you’re right — I think that when we water down our demands because it makes them “easier to pass” or “more politically acceptable” it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Anyways, onto a serious questions that this brings up... Why is Al Gore making more dramatic demands than the youth climate movement? Aren't we supposed to be pushing the envelope? I know we have put forth many strong stances through different campigns, but I haven't heard something this bold come as a united message from youth - the closest we have come is 80% by 2050 (and no new coal to an extent). Al Gore is awesome.

Are you really posting a comment on his house? That shit was played out years ago. No one wants to hear your bought and paid for opinions. You suck. Just to humor you, Gore's home uses clean energy sources like wind and solar. Here is an article for ya, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/28/AR2007022801823.html Please don't post here anymore. Stark - why don’t you go fly a kite and leave us alone?
