Al Gore May Have No Friends, But He Made A Good Point

Dec. 14, 2008



Al Gore made some very valid points in his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", but it just wouldn't be my style to not to call him out and make fun of certain things. For instance, Gore is talking about the oil and fuel crisis, and he is flying on a private plane. The big thing i wanted to find out if his sources for his facts were legit. I mean, he made up Manbear-pig, so he could potentially do the same to cause another scare. So I did what I normally do... go on Wikipedia to dig up some info.
It turns out that his facts are legit. For example, he got the Keeling Curve, which measures CO2 from the Mauna Loa Observitory. He also obtained vital information from the Physics Institute at the University of Bern and the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica.
Gore's own knowledge is creditable. At Harvard, he took a course with Professor Roger Revelle who was one of the first scientist to measure CO2 in the atmosphere. Gore also wrote a book about the subject, titleing it "Earth in the Balance".

So aparently I was wrong. Gore still may have no friends, but he has an Oscar, a National Board of Reveiw Award, and something really small called the Nobel Peace Prize.

November 24, 2008 Green Karat: Recycle Old Gold, Receive New Jewelry

http://www.lazyenvironmentalist.com/pages/2008/11/green_karat_rec.php

The company Green Karat is taking recycled "precious metals" and making them into jewelry. They make it easy for you to pitch in; just take your old junky jewelry and send it in to help make the earth green.


For people to buy this, you'll have to break it down by class. Upper class and rappers like Diddy and Kanye probably wouldn't go near it because its not flashy or catchy. Middle class would buy it because its not as expensive as Tiffany's. I like it because unlike other jewelry refiners, this is for the environment, not for profit. The only problem is when you trade in your gold, you get credit for purchasing other gold that was made. Why trade in gold to buy other gold that I will not use... ever. Give me the cash!!!!!!!!
