My Pal Al

Had a very long day of work, so I don’t have the energy to remain upright long enough to write a long involved journal entry at the moment. So I thought instead I’d just throw a question out there. What’s your opinion of Al Gore and his “Inconvenient Truth” and his larger environmental/global warming crusade in general? Is it making an impact? Good or bad? Is it genuine, or is he trying to rally up some support for a forthcoming move in his political career? (I suppose these two things aren’t mutually exclusive, but sadly, more often than not in politics, they are.)On a larger scale, what do you think about the country’s current stance on the issue of global warming as a serious threat, and what degree of responsibility do we really have as a country and individuals to try to alleviate the problem? Some people of course are debating whether it’s a major problem at all. Others are adamant that countries like China and India fix it before we commit to doing our share.

Interesting, convoluted and highly controversial issue. Just curious to see what people are thinking about it. Comment away!
