There is a better plan than Gore's Repower America, which will require thousands of miles of new ugly transmission line. Use Renewable Distributed Generation, which creates local businesses and jobs and does not require transmission lines. Here's how it works: You put more solar than you need on your roof. You get paid for the extra that goes back to the grid, directly through the distribution lines.
I actually like the de-centralized power grid idea, power is generated all over, you could have micro power gen. stations, solar, wind, hydro, Bio, whatever, they are all tied into the smart grid, almost like an Internet, power will didtribute to where its needed. Like you said, homes could have solar on their roofs, and sell to grid when there is excess, buy it back when more is needed. there are major hurdles to get something like this organized, private power co. like it the way it is now.

Al Gore has made billions off of the American peoples gullibility. The industry of "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" or whatever the hell they want to call it this week is nothing but a money making machine. There is nothing humans can do about climate change.
Having said that, conserving the earths resources & lowering/eliminating our dependence on foreign oil is a good thing that we all should strive for, but it has NOTHING to do with "Global Warming".
RE: "There is nothing humans can do about climate change."

Great scientific minds have been discussing this far before Al Gore decided to be a leader in this noble topic of preserving our planet.

Saving the planet is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature; It's arrogant meddling. We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet, or take care of each other and we're going to save the fucking planet? I'm getting tired of that shit.
Are you serious? "we don't know how to take care of ourselves or each other", because we do. We have the technology to eliminate all fossil fuels now and provide virtually free, clean energy to every country AND we know that the majority of people are suffering from nutrient deficiencies therefore weakening their immune systems and opening them up to all kinds of diseases. The knowledge is there. You figure a way to overcome the abundant greed in governments, and the world will improve!

Thank you for your reply. I am so tired of these people getting on Youtube and smearing anyone that shares a mature adult argument with childish reasonings and intimidation tactics.
Actually, we can slow global warming by diminishing the human contribution to it, by reducing greehouse gases. But Gore's approach is still wrong because it will add thousands of miles of transmission lines to the grid. The better solution is Renewable Distributed Generation--local small businesses building thousands of small generators--and lots more jobs than Gore's plan. No transmission lines needed in RDG.
He's not - he buys carbon offsets and uses renewable power, but even if he didn't, like Kaiman620 said, it's not the point. The facts are clear, and they're sobering.
Despite the continual harassment from right-wing ideologues, the IPCC underestimates the risk to humanity from global warming. Our predicament is actually WORSE than what they describe in their reports.

search global warming in the browser it comes up with global warming hoax global warming swindle global warming scam global warming myth global warming debate global warming al gore wake up, his work is based on lies the IPCC is a non-authentic panel dont you realise plants breathe co2? or that trees and the ocean produce more co2 than we ever could? or that taxing its emmission isnt gonna stop it? or that never in history has co2 driven climate change?
why would i have to believe in the global warming scam (that we cause it, not the sun!) whereby we are taxed for air, to want to pay for energy that has long been freely available too? please tell me if you actually made a point there that iv missed.
my quote has been voiced by the very scientists on the IPCC roster, whose names there used without consent.
now isnt that interesting? whats also historic fact, these very scientists say is that co2 has never led climate change.
regardless of heat transfer coefficients, and your impressive ability to patronise while undermining your own 'lack of knowledge' your rant didnt really change the facts.
- cant believe in free energy and not paying for air now can we miss gore?

Many scientists left IPCC in protest to the fraudulent 'process'.
Plants only absorb carbon and release O2 when they receive sufficient light; if not, they go to 'sleep' and use some of the O2 they released.
Anyway, Al Gore is a oilman that has made a shitload of money from this, and built anothe 'palace' for himself. Much of what he has said is proven to be exaggerations and outright lies.

Maybe a bit crass, but just search "Gore Occidental Oil" and see where it takes you... besides he is not the most thruthful person around in any perspective; there is direct lies and there are .. "tweaking of facts" .. and there are exagerations.
Good Lord, man. Are you seriously attempting to taint Al Gore because of his dead father's so called "relationship" with Armand Hammer? Careful, your desperation is showing.
are u mentally challenged or something. Plants absorb CO2 and release O2. The ocean does NOT produce CO2, i dont' know where the hell u got that from, and CO2 has never driven climate change because in the scheme of life humans have been around for such a short time, and now all the sudden because of our polluting habbits things are changing in a bad way.
plants also reverse this action at night, so its 50/50. odd how people dont like the person below who tells you how many IPCC scientists have left, (and sued) to have their names removed from this flawed document. 'the great global warming swindle' outright disproves gores claims, as does john coleman. if you wanna know something about weather, ask a weatherman. wanna know how to sell and profit from a non polluting partical called air - ask a politician. bet you think taxing air is great too.
ur right but the amount of O2 plants use at night in comparison to what they release during the day is nothing. And your right again, if u really wanna know about that you should ask a botanist, and not make up crap like u did.

Wonder how many solar panels you could get for the price of a nuclear power station?If you had a green industry manufacturing the means to renewably generate energy[wind,tidal,solar-big deserts,big oceans[get the finger out],a green industry to design,produce and recycle recyclable materials.Good start,green economy.

It really is disgusting that Al Gore feels it appropriate to compare his own narrow, self-inflated, opinion to that of JFK and the space race. Not that JFK was anything to write home to Ma about.

First off sorry this is posted 4 weeks later, but I missed your response.
Alrighty, the problem with your statement is it doesn't go into detail on the current leaders of energy, oil companies. To assume that the only problem is cost efficiency is wrong. In "who killed the electric car" the cost benefit was rational, but the oil companies tanked the idea anyway. I cannot accept a comment that assumes the world we live in is Rational....I wish I could though.

If you truly believe that global warming is man made, than surely you know the impact of just one coast to coast flight he makes in a private jet... That one flight produces more carbon emission than your car does in an entire year! Forget republican and democrat. If he is an advocate for the environment, he would practice what he preaches..

"Situational science is about respecting both sides of a scientific argument, not just the one supported by FACTS! That's why I always TEACH THE CONTROVERSY!
Like the evolution controversy, or the global warming controversy -- not to mention the tobacco controversy, the mercury controversy, the pesticides controversy ... acid rain controversy."
"You're right, Situational Scienceman! I'll never trust science again! It's just too controversial!"
Why are people on here debating carbon offsets? Those are the "baby steps" that Gore talks about. Carbon offsets are merely a way for legislators to look like they're doing something positive while still allowing oil and energy companies to continue along as usual.
This is no place to debate if Gore had the election stolen, God's role in any of this, or whether or not global warming is real. Those points are meaningless.
Clean, renewable energy is our only hope for survival on this planet.
"When we moved the hand of the Doomsday Clock from 7 to 5 minutes to midnight in January 2007, the Bulletin's Board of Directors warned about two major sources of potential catastrophe: the perils of 27,000 nuclear weapons in the world, 2,000 of them ready to launch in minutes, and the destruction of human habitats from climate change."
Global warming is the biggest tax scam that the world has ever seen. They've convinced tree hugging morons that they will be, "sticking it to the man," with these new "green" policies, all the while, they tax the h-ll out of the middle class of the US and Europe, and jack up production costs to drive our industries into 3rd world, slave labor, countries like the host of our esteemed Olympics who do NOTHING at all to clean up our planet.
I agree it would help reduce fuel and pollutions if more people bought local veggies, but a lot don't.
There has been a Shift towards buying local food and with the fuel prices and the awareness of the quality of food from foreign sources, it will continue.
"The overwhelming majority of scientific opinion in America today and in the world is that climate change is real.... I believe that we have an obligation -- as do increasing numbers of the evangelical community. We have an obligation of the stewardship of this Earth.
And I'll be glad to exchange scientific information with you. But in my view, THE DEBATE IS OVER."
Al Gore, and those who religiously and blindly follow his fallacious argument (such as comparing his religious viewpoint with that of JFK's space challenge: what kind of "carbon footprint" did all those rockets leave, let alone the junk scattered across space and our atmosphere) are the folks that truly fear science. It boils down to inflated self-consequence.
No, you would be wrong too. I knew that. So, now whatever the media says determines the elections I guess, not the actual electoral college votes, right? You are a buffoon. If I'm trash, you must be shit.
Jesus hates republicans like he did the pharisees. All people who voted republican since Nixon will burn in hell forever. Jesus will see to that.
Ronald Reagan was the Anti Christ and the republicans would rather bring down a family and condemn generations to white trash without an education and fill up our prisons rather than risk legalizing abortion.
Republicans, GOP, neocons have destroyed our country far beyond even a Barack Obama, Clinton or Kennedy can fix it.
"The funding of an array of think tanks and institutes that house climate skeptics and deniers also worried Britain's premier scientific body, the Royal Society. It found that in 2005 Exxon distributed nearly $3 million to 39 groups that 'misrepresented the science of climate change by outright denial of the evidence that greenhouse gases are driving climate change.' It asked Exxon to stop the funding and its protests helped force Exxon's recent retreat....
"In his recent book Heat, George Monbiot gives the example of the TV presenter and botanist, David Bellamy, who is also a climate skeptic. He told the New Scientist in 2005 that most glaciers in the world are growing, not shrinking. He said his evidence came from the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Switzerland, a reputable body. When Monbiot checked the service they said that the Bellamy claim was 'complete bullshit.' Glaciers are retreating....
"But perhaps the oil companies' PR campaign is not the main reason for the success of the climate change deniers. There are at least three others. First, the implications of the science are frightening. Shifting to renewable energy will be costly and disruptive. Second, doubt is an easy product to sell. Climate denial tells us what we all secretly want to hear. Third, science is portrayed by the free market right as a political 'orthodoxy' rather than objective knowledge....
"The tide slowly turned on tobacco denial and the science was accepted in the end. But climate is different. There are no 'smoke-free areas' on the planet. Climate denial may turn out to be the world's most deadly PR campaign."
You are a very big thumbs enlightened in your analysis.
It is turning into soundbites instead of logical discussion. Pandering to self interest, lack of education, and people more and more squeezed for time. You rock!
No, you got it wrong, Gore tried to steal the election with lawsuits and counting votes over and over again. The electoral college was set up by our forefathers for a reason. The primary reason as I see it is to keep California and New York from determining the election every four years and thus cramming more of this global warming bullcrap down our throat.
Time to reduce you to a Cinder, dan. You need to reconsider your anger, change and do it because YOU are part of the problem. Help the USA by RISING to AL GORE"S Challenge. NOT because it is EASY, NOT because it is HARD but because it is the RIGHT thing to do. The conscience and the Christ inside that black heart of yours knows it is true!
You are enlightened ... keep up the good fight. I believe there is a morality in all of us, even the nattering naysayers of negativism, that knows this is the right approach. I just happen to like the messenger too. Cheers to starting a tidal wave of consent.
"Special interests have blocked transition to our renewable energy future. Instead of moving heavily into renewable energies, fossil companies choose to spread doubt about global warming, as tobacco companies discredited the smoking-cancer link. Methods are sophisticated, including funding to help shape school textbook discussions of global warming.
... CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature."
It's not just carbon dioxide at work here people! Methane gas, primarily produced by the animal food industry and the melting of the permafrost is a BIG contributor to greenhouse gases.
Be socially responsible, stop eating meat. It's better for you, better for the environment and damn near perfect for the animals involved.

If you're Christian, then you believe (probably) that God controls nature; so it's both to you, but the scientists aren't wrong either. If you're not Christian (or not religious), then it's climate change (if your not religious or your religion doesn't have a diety), or your religion's deity.

Yep, but we need to do both. If we don't understand the climate because we haven't studied it, we could take actions which we later find out to have caused (more) harm rather than (any) good; perhaps geo-engineering could be wrong (perhaps not).
We know climate change is happening, we know it's just about all anthropogenic, we know to stop using fossil fuels and stop pollution, but we don't know (yet, fully) how to stop the harm that's already been done.
The Bible teaches those in faith to keep everything in moderation..I say this because the problems exist because we have gone beyond moderation in our consumption/use. i am all for biodisel;windmills;solar panels..nature has much to offer and allows people to sustain their way...but the real issue is ..we need to keep things simple..and out of the hands of glutony..use what you need..don't waste..share what you have extra of...
But climate change won't stop because if Al Gore is being hypocritical. It really doesn't matter. We need to solve the climate crisis, with or without Al Gore. I personally believe it's a joke to suggest he's being hypocritical, but still, let's just focus on solving the problem, not debating whether or not he's being hypocritical.
No, I don't think that, because he buys carbon offsets, like I've already said. But this whole Al Gore is a hypocrite crusade is ridiculous. The evidence is there to suggest - prove - he isn't being a hypocrite; the millions of dollars he has donated to climate change prevention causes (ALL the profits from An Inconvenient Truth, the book and the film, and all of the Nobel Prize purse awarded to him), he uses renewable energy, and buys offsets.

To read that from somebody, who has videos in his favorites lists, that are about "free energy" is hilarious and sad at the same time.
"dont you realise plants breathe co2?"
Everybody with a basic understanding of the process that is called photosynthesis, knows that plants breathe carbondioxide in and oxygen out.

Many scientists left IPCC in protest to the fraudulent 'process'.
Plants only absorb carbon and release O2 when they receive sufficient light; if not, they go to 'sleep' and use some of the O2 they released.

"Climate scientists often find their work challenged by all manner of people, from political leaders and fossil fuel proponents to the person-on-the-street. Never mind that the findings have been worked through the rigorous and sometimes drawn-out peer-review process.
If the results have significant implications -- such as rising sea levels, increased cyclone intensity, bleached coral reefs, and prolonged droughts -- the anti-climate science brigade will dismiss the work as ...

'scaremongering' -- supposedly part of a global conspiracy to exaggerate the impacts of climate change to secure more funding (presumably to do yet more scaremongering). Ironically, the emergence of consensus views on climate change should ultimately mean an increase in funding to address the problem, not study it.
For a long time now, the media have also given a skewed account of the science. Although the scientific literature abounds in debate about the effects of climate change and ...

... climate variability, no paper can be found that questions the fundamental warming capabilities of greenhouse gases. Yet the mainstream press thrives on debate, and so bizarre theories from unqualified yet self-appointed experts often appear as the counter-argument to that of a scientist."

Yep, but we need to do both. If we don't understand the climate because we haven't studied it, we could take actions which we later find out to have caused (more) harm rather than (any) good; perhaps geo-engineering could be wrong (perhaps not).
We know climate change is happening, we know it's just about all anthropogenic, we know to stop using fossil fuels and stop pollution, but we don't know (yet, fully) how to stop the harm that's already been done.
But I agree with everything you've said.

The Bible teaches those in faith to keep everything in moderation..I say this because the problems exist because we have gone beyond moderation in our consumption/use. i am all for biodisel;windmills;solar panels..nature has much to offer and allows people to sustain their way...but the real issue is ..we need to keep things simple..and out of the hands of glutony..use what you need..don't waste..share what you have extra of...

But climate change won't stop because if Al Gore is being hypocritical. It really doesn't matter. We need to solve the climate crisis, with or without Al Gore. I personally believe it's a joke to suggest he's being hypocritical, but still, let's just focus on solving the problem, not debating whether or not he's being hypocritical.

No, I don't think that, because he buys carbon offsets, like I've already said. But this whole Al Gore is a hypocrite crusade is ridiculous. The evidence is there to suggest - prove - he isn't being a hypocrite; the millions of dollars he has donated to climate change prevention causes (ALL the profits from An Inconvenient Truth, the book and the film, and all of the Nobel Prize purse awarded to him), he uses renewable energy, and buys offsets.

Sadly true.

I don't think he has a solar jet - where did you hear that? Would be pretty cool, but I think they're still in R&D stage.

I guess we have different definitions of "complain".

The implication put forward ad nauseam by greenhouse deniers is that Al Gore's personal consumption renders his statements about climate change false.
That's a textbook example of the fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque -- also known as the "You Too Fallacy":
