A terrifying message from Al Gore (and Bender)
Truly amazing: the oil industry pays for dumb/boring viral video smearing Al Gore. They must feel extremely threatened.
Al Gore will be present in Brussels on October 8th to introduce his film: An inconvenient truth.
The American science teachers’ association has refused free copies of the film An inconvenient truth for classroom viewing as it may conflict with some of their financial supporters. One of them being Exxon.
update : and a well-deserved worst person in the world award.
I don’t know what to say. Some people scare me.
Belgian minister for Energy Marc Verwilghen has just [got himself a giant gas-guzzling Audi Q7][1] (pdf) that emits between 282 to 326 grammes of CO2 per km. Meanwhile, Europe is trying to get emissions down to 120g/km, nice example from above. Oh yeah, and Al Gore has [the electricity bill][2] of a small village.

Belgian defense minister [flies in an army helicopter][1] to see Al Gore’s film. Can it get more surreal? (thanks Xavier)

Maybe Belgian ministers could get off the seats of their [carbon-spewing monsters][1] and actually do something for the environment instead of worrying about [photo ops with Al Gore][2]?
