Re: BP's top kill effort fails to plug Gulf oil leak

Me neither. That's my point too, the guy has done work with global warming for three decades and probably didn't make any money from it until the last few. So to claim that his motive is money based seems far fetched. He even donated his peace prize money to top it off.
This crisis is something that is tailor made for someone that is apparently gravely concerned about the planet. Right now you could find Jimmy Hoffa before Gore.
That says much more about him than anything he's ever said on the issue.
I read his book when I was a teen. Thought it was pretty good actually. However, it was just doomsday rhetoric like all other similar books.

I see, Al Gore's (perceived) silence is open for you to define, interpret, and then attack, gotcha. He's a private citizen who happens to be going through a divorce, I don't really think he's required to do much of anything.

Of course he isn't required to do anything. However, when you spend 20+ years on the summit of Everest yelling about global warming and all this other crap, then jump off the mountain a nanosecond after a major disaster that could have serious implications occurs, people are gonna start questioning his interest in the cause.
Re: BP's top kill effort fails to plug Gulf oil leak
Am I the only person that doesn't really care about this? I think 3/4 of the environmental shit is just made up to make people feel better about themselves. Disasters happened long before man came along. I wonder if T-Rex covered tar pits boiling over on their newscasts...

Couldn't feel any different from you. It really saddens me, and sickens me. Millions of gallons of oil leaking into the Gulf & later Ocean, with no stopping it till the fall at best?? That's not "natural"
Ugh. All the wildlife & fish dying. Just ruined. That waters not gonna be clean for a long time.

The point is that it all happens for a reason. Things happened before there were man made disasters. Things will happen after we blow ourselves to bits in a nuclear war.
It's just the way it is. If the oil didn't kill the fish, something else would (a bigger fish maybe?). It doesn't matter if they were "natural" or not. The animals that died aren't more or less dead because of how the disaster came about. Ice ages, cancers, meteors, gunshots, volcanoes, plane crashes, tornadoes, fires, wars, hurricanes, car accidents, floods...does it matter what kills you when you die (other than maybe the couple seconds before you die)?
Maybe the earth would have other problems if oil wasn't being pumped out of it. Maybe the birds or fish would create other problems. I am a big believer in things happen for a reason. We don't always understand why, but I don't think anything happens by coincidence.
