Comments for Al Gore, Global Warming and 2008 http://www.algore04.com The grassroots dedicated to Global Warming and re-electing Al Gore President of the United States in 2008. Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:23:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 Comment on How To Contact Al Gore by Robert Rootes http://www.algore04.com/archives/how-to-contact-al-gore#comment-2301 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 08:53:28 +0000 http://www.algore04.com/archives/how-to-contact-al-gore#comment-2301 Dear Mr Gore. Thanks to Netflix we were able to watch your documentary, albeit, I was apprehensive because I live in Alaska (since 1999). Since my time here, the climate changes I have seen in that short period are horrifying. I lived 32 miles above the Arctic Circle when I moved to Alaska in 1999. In 2003 we moved to Wasilla (a city that comes now more frequently now) and it’s a nightmare to see the changes here. Our local electric power company (MEA) wants to build its own coal burning plant. They have been voted down; however, they have taken steps to raise the price of our power in the Matanuska Valley because of this. The one thing that bothers me the most in Alaska is: No One Cares! The indigenous people want the money that comes to them from the oil reserves here. Everyone in this state gets a PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend); however, the indigenous people of the region get even more. They don’t care about the environment at all. I lived in Kotzebue for years. I stopped eating fish (salmon) altogether after I found out that they do NOT monitor or filter RAW SEWAGE that dumps into Kotzebue Sound from the city. When I tried asking questions when I lived there, the mayor’s office refused to respond. I saw people of the villages throwing away plastic bags, beer cans and bottles, and all other forms of garbage into the Sound. I told someone to stop once and almost got into a fight with the whole village. The people are still under the impression that once it goes into the water they don’t have to worry about it. The drinking water that comes from the reservoir in Kotzebue (Fire Lake) is filled with old earth moving equipment, bottles, rusting bicycles; etc. There are NO recycling programs in Alaska! We have half-managed recycling centers where items are brought to be stored and shipped back on containers to Seattle, Wa. Yet there are no actual facilities that can manage the waste that we produce. Our landfills are bursting with Styrofoam, and I learned that tires are layered every five to ten feet underground because they don’t know what else to do with them. Two weeks ago the temperature in Wasilla was -20 to -30 degrees, Fairbanks was -40. This week it was 50 degrees! Nowhere did I see in the newspaper, radio, or television reporting the 75 degree difference. There is NO snow in Wasilla now, two week ago there was average 3 to 5 inches. Would you consider coming to Alaska to speak on the behalf of the people who want to make changes here? We need a strong voice, something that doesn’t put lipstick on pitbulls! Would you please consider bringing your Inconvenient Truth to the one state in the Union that will see the last of the polar bears become extinct in the next 5 years because oil is more important than life? Respectfully, A father Without a Good Answer for His Son Dear Mr Gore.

Kind of knocks that right out the window don't it? I don't believe in it. History shows cycles of both warming and cold trends. I do think we need to be enviormently friendly but I truly think you are taking this global warming thing too far. Anyone with common sense should see right through this. You cannot convince me there is global warming when temps are well below zero in alot of states right now. As a matter of fact this seems to be the coldest winter in 2 particular states where I used to live in a long time. Quit making a mountain out of a molehill.

Mr. Al Gore Hello Sir, I am a high school studnet living in Canada and i have few questions for you. (please respond) I am doing global warming project. I respect you the most and i think you should keep up with your enviormental campaign. Well, i watched your movie An Inconvient Truth and something didn't make sense to me and with global warming theories. 1. How can you tell if global warming is happening based on 100 year temperature chart? Don't you need more proof than that? 2. I researched global warming and it said some part of the earth is heating up and some part of earth is actually cooling down than can you tell global warming is actually true?. 3. I think going green is really good idea but, if you change the laws for people and for industries such as carbon taxing than shouldn't this bring financial crisis to the people and to the industires? 4. I read Global Warming Conspircay theories and i agree little on this and is it ture that A United Nations and its supporters are promoting a system of world governance to control our ideology? 5. If Global warming is true than how can we prevent it? Again, I think you are really good politican and environmental activist. Thanks for reading my opinion Dear. Mr. Al Gore

Our family wants to get an electric car just like the rest of the nation, but The car makers are not letting the majority of the nation purchase electric cars by -- charging $40,000 and up. Our nation will never "get there" at this greedy rate. Electric cars are not worth that much. There's not that much to them. We ALL need to go electric cars. Can you do something with the car makers? I wish you could do something to help us go green…

Today's announcement by NASA (CNN site) that ice is disapperaing at a shocking rate (as of 2007) should get your attention since you are so keen on facts. Who do you work for? Exxon Mobil? Alberta Tar Sands Project? What Al Gore has said is nothing new. These facts are there for all to read including you. If you can make a factual case for your disagreement try citing the source so we can make up our own mind. Have a nice day --there are damn few of them left! Hey Josh,

Only thing is; what was it all for? I know my family is ready to step up and do the right thing for mother earth. (if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy) We need you! Say yes to Obama.
