Fake news. Al Gore's money is not causing Global Warming. Burning fossil fuels is the problem. Your shooting the messenger
i've got a different view on global warming. it has to be caused from something outside our atmosphere. the few meteors that make it in, can't bring enough matter to change much here. all the carbon has been in our atmosphere since the beginning. it seems to me our atmosphere is a closed environment with a finite set of elements. if we release some of them by burning, the elements just change to some other combination of elements for a while. all of the oil and gas we're using was created by something made of carbon in some other form. so there is more carbon dioxide in the air. if you prius drivers would worry about stopping them from cutting down jungles and forests instead of my classic car, carbon dioxide levels would balance out. global warming is caused by the sun. nothing we can do is powerful enough to cause it.

"Scientists say rising global temperatures are likely to increase the intensity and impact of major storms. Last year was the Earth's warmest year on record for the third year in a row, NOAA reported."

Above or the very top comment has some good ideas. The trouble is that when CO2 or Carbon and Oxygen are buried under the ocean and the earth it's not trapping the solar energy. Normally solar energy enters our atmosphere and then radiates back out again. But the increased levels of CO2 Gas in the atmosphere is trapping the sun's energy and keeping it from radiating back out into space. Burning the forests and burning fossil fuels is releasing the Carbon that was tied up in the ground or trees and putting more of it into the atmosphere in the form of CO2 gas.
Cries of Injustice
Like echoes
In a dark cold cavern
Come the cries of injustice
Poverty
Starvation
Natural disasters
Un-equality
The forgotten elderly
Windows
Orphans
The abused
War devastation
All perspiring pain
Heartache and sorrow
Some deserving
Some not
Where do the dark shadows
Of injustice end
Maybe it is when we seek change
Within ourselves…
Be educated in truth
Change of attitudes base on love
Seek wisdom above all other
These can allow the shadows of injustice
To be stretched and diluted
Why do we become social parasites
Seeking political handouts
Taking the easy way out
Living off hard working people
Do we not allow it as voters
Once dependent on civil gifts
The chains of dependency
Are difficult to unlock
Let not the fear of failing
Rob our desire to …
Become educated and independent
Improve the world around us
Work to serve mankind
May our shadows be not angry
May our tears be not of self-petty
May we look to the one True Light
For guidance in the darkest of night
You cannot limp into heaven
Nor can you run through hell
“You are gonna to serve somebody
It may be the devil
Or it may be the Lord
But you are gonna to serve somebody”
Only time will tell
Poem by: Roy L. Nave
“You are gonna to serve somebody”
Album, “Slow Train Coming” - Bob Dylan
[QUOTE=Moveon;564440]Your words fall on deaf ears as most people down in Florida can't read what you write. They have no power
This is one of the worst natural disasters in the USA. Billions of dollars will be needed to put Florida back together again.
As another Hurricane looms out in the Atlantic Ocean. We dodged a bullet in that the hurricane bounced into Cuba before it hit West Florida and Cuba took some of the energy out of Irma. But still it hit with the force of a CAT 3 Hurricane. It was Cat 4 before that and it was just 4 mph short of being a CAT5 Hurricane. We may not be so lucky the next time.
You speak of Gore making money. But that's a RED HERRING. The amount of money the Oil Companies are making since Irma threatened Florida is way more than anyone else made off Global Warming. The price of GAs was hiked as people in Florida were trying to get out of the state to a safe place.
I suggest you go look at the pictures of the devastation that's occurred in Florida and think about that for a while. Al didn't make any money of that mess.

Your twisting and diverting. Al Gore made money lying to people and made false predictions....fact.
Hurricanes have been coming around for years ...fact.
Florida has issues but will rebuild...fact.
Doom is not around the corner. This is hurricane season and it's has yet to peak so there may be more so what? Don't like it? Stay away from the coast. Can seasonal weather happen anymore without some larger than life label applied to it?
Al Gore made money talking about others and asking for money. The oil companies make money from producing a product we use. I don't always agree with their business decisions but they produce something. Al Gore produces hot wind, sleepiness and nonsense, he is a leech in liberal clothing.

Please go down to the Keys in Florida and tell them that! I dare you to.
The only people that are passing around fake news are those that attack Al Gore and lie about him and the science of Global Warming.
Today I read a newspaper article about something that we use on a daily basis. It's about a new solar panel that's being added to a business in my area that will allow them to conduct business and not have to buy power from a generating company that burns coal (fossil fuel) that pollutes the Earth and causes global warming and more powerful and more hurricane's like Irma and the one that hit TEXAS. :)

Hahahaha if I go to the keys it's to fish, enjoy the beach, women and drinks. Global Warming can kiss my Lilly White buttocks. I also don't think anyone would care anyway because it's not like I'm calling their baby ugly.
Your buying into it but not everyone is and to assume so is crazy. Even the masses of people who may think your right are ignorant baboons who more than likely voted for obama based on his stellar experience 😜 We will have to agree to disagree on this topic.
I can bet that anyone who ends up taking money from a power company via solar power will end up paying taxes or charges at some point to make up for the loss revenue. Same thing with cars that use less fossil fuel or none at all. Big daddy gubment needs its tax money.

Porto Rica is in the path this time. Hurricane 5 force winds are over 160 mph and it's continuing to strengthen. Batten down the hatches if you have any hatches left.
People who evacuated were the smart ones. The dumb ones stayed behind and tried to ride out the last hurricane and they suffered the most. The Florida Keys were severely damaged by Irma.

Remember that the Scientist Predicted more storms and STRONGER Storms. It appears right now that those climate scientist were right.
Don't go back home to the Florida Keys. There is not much left down there. 25% of the homes were destroyed.

And now another Category 5 Hurricane is on the way right behind Irma. This one is called Moria.

Ok now be careful....calling folks who stayed dumb doesn't seem very compassionate.....maybe they were old and unable to leave? Poor? Young? Black? Waited to long and were blocked in from the traffic? Just be careful your letting your GOP show a little. 😎😊
Hahahaha actually they predicted many things and even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Years ago when I lived in Florida we would get the same predictions year after year and it was always the same....they were wrong. Generalized predictions that allow alot of room for error.
So in the name of predictions....my prediction is we get some major snow this Winter. Just sayin.....
