Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"
Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."
Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea.
"The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said. After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore.
Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.

This isn't about the environment at all. It is just Gore looking for shock value, selling books, and keeping his name in the press.

I wonder how genocide affects Global Warming?
Anyway, you read it here first: Gore/Clinton in 2008.
The logic:
Al is already campaigning, Bill is campaigning against Bush, and playing the "remember the good ol' days" tune. Dean can't raise funds, and the DNC feels the need to be "united". Plus, the US isn't ready for a woman president yet.

But But But....wouldn't we get tired of seing Bill's hand up Al's butt? I mean, talk about a puppet for a President!

Dear Terrorists,
Smoke up boys and girls! If you smoke enough you may be able to submerge San Francisco and New York. ;-)
When are we finally going to go after the cows and all the methane they're farting into the air?!? C'mon Gore! Be our champion!!!!
Who is taking this guy seriously any more?
He should go after tobacco farmers, like that politician who said....
Quote:Throughout most of my life, I raised tobacco. I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I've hoed it. I've dug in it. I've sprayed it, I've chopped it, I've shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it and sold it.
What was his name? Al somebody.....
Lets see...bad for your lungs, bad for your skin, bad for your brain and now bad for glaciers??
