Call for quick action on climate change at UN

2007-09-25

The head of the United Nations, the governor of California and the star of "An Inconvenient Truth" spoke with one voice on Monday, urging quick global action to stem emissions that heat the planet.

How's this? Wanna see it again?

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, whose concerns about global warming were the basis for the Oscar-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth," told a U.N. gathering that the developed world needs to turn away from public scandals and face the task of curbing the emission of greenhouse gases.

"We have to overcome the paralysis that has prevented us from acting and focus clearly and unblinkingly on this world crisis, rather than spending time on Anna Nicole Smith and O.J. Simpson and Paris Hilton," Gore said, drawing applause.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said: "The time has come to stop looking back at the Kyoto Protocol.... The rich nations and the poor nations have different responsibilities, but one responsibility we all have is action."

#11 First off, tear down that highrise whorehouse on Turtle Bay and put up a big circus tent. And no more limos. And you'll all become vegetarians. And if Al Gore get's on another private jet, shoot him...

Good, that should tie up the UN for five years or longer, time enough for all to realize the "Climate Change" bullshit for what it really is.

#9 I've decided to run in circles, counter-clockwise while holding my breath. If only 5 billion of you also run with me, we can make a difference.
Oh, I forgot, Al Gore (the writer of A Convenient Untruth) will be staked across the start/finish line.
