Gore Asks for (free) Ad Time to Fight Global Warming
 Former Vice President Al Gore launched his keynote address at the Four As media conference in Orlando Thursday morning by promising not to do a commercial for his new cable network, Current TV. which is as moribund as Air America's new subscriber listAnd he didnt. Instead, he urged the media industry to contribute air time to an upcoming public service campaign alerting consumers to the dangers of global warming. Gore spent most of his twenty minute presentation detailing the heavy toll that global warming is taking on the earths ecosystem. 20 minutes of greenhouse gases he sould've spared the planet He said that a new coalition, to be announced soon, comprised of environmental, labor, religious and other groups would be raising money to make major ad buys over the next three years to address global warming. Gore than asked the media industry to step up with a dollar for dollar matching contribution for that campaign. Gore said he was contributing the proceeds from a book and a documentary on the subject (both to be released later this year) to the coalition. that's called a quid pro quo for his The climate crisis is the most serious challenge our civilization has ever faced, he said. Bullshit. The real science is still out except for the true believers and those getting agenda-based-study grants. Even if warming due to human causes (not proven), the rise is soooo miniscule, all but hysterics would never notice it this century. Read Michael Chrichton. Posted by: Frank G 2006-03-03 |
