Inconvenient Al Tells It Like It Is

The world is suffering the catastrophic effects of climate change--the latest example being the lethal wildfire in Maui, Hawaii. There, fire driven by hurricane force winds incenerated the drought striken landscrape and killed over 110 people so far. Over a thousand are still missing. Al Gore likened the news to a long hike through the Book of Revelations. So why has an informed body politic done so little to reverse this fatal trend? In this TED talk by Al Gore--where he admits to being all hot and bothered--tells us the explanation mostly boils down to greed. Big Oil is using the same bait and switch propaganda used to prolong the cancerous habit of smoking tobacco. The fact that the latest COP conference is hosted by Dubai, a country with an abismal emissons record, says a lot about the captured process and disadvantageous financing of climate projects. Compare the performance by a man who should have been President with the deceitful babbling of the anti-social miscreant currently dominating the news cycle.
