An Inconvenient Day? Al Gore Preps 24-Hour Global Warming Broadcast

Green guru Al Gore is seeing red -- and might just talk himself blue.

The former vice president and outspoken climate-change defender plans a 24-hour worldwide presentation called "24 Hours of Reality" to combat the country's growing disbelief in his contention that man's actions have dramatically shaped the planet's climate and caused a rash of extreme weather.

The project will broadcast a new presentation by Al Gore every hour for 24 hours across 24 different time zones from Wednesday to Thursday. It will be carried on Current, the TV and website platform Gore cofounded in 2005, and will take over social networks as well.

"Each hour people living with the reality of climate change will connect the dots between recent extreme weather events — including floods, droughts and storms — and the manmade pollution that is changing our climate," the website for the project says.

"The deniers may have millions of dollars to spend, but we have a powerful advantage. We have reality," the website reads.

The battle Gore faces is not against a nameless group of well-heeled competitors, however, but against the public itself.

Public perception of climate change has steadily fallen since the "Climategate" scandal in late 2009. A Rasmussen Reports public opinion poll from August noted that 57 percent of adults believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009.

The same study showed that 69 percent of those polled believe it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs. Just just 6 percent felt confident enough to report that such falsification was "not at all likely."

Gore was clearly upset by this.

He made headlines last month with a curse-filled rant at an Aspen Institute media forum aimed at those skeptical of the theory that man's actions are warming the planet.

In the speech, Gore thundered “Bulls---!” repeatedly as he denounced skepticism of global warming.

“It’s no longer acceptable in mixed company … to use the godd--- word ‘climate’!” he yelled. This time, rather than bluster, Gore intends to broadcast more of the presentations he popularized in his movie, "An Inconvenient Truth."

The Climate Reality project also aims to incorporate social media to help spread its message. To that end, the campaign asks for volunteers to hand over control of their Facebook and Twitter accounts for a few days -- to donate their social networks, the site says.

"We will only post content relevant to 24 Hours of Reality and climate change, and we won't post more than a few times an hour," the website explains, and after September 15, people will be able to reclaim their accounts.

Nearly 850,000 people have already agreed to do so, as of noon on Monday.

Because someone is taking advantage of something doesn't mean that something doesn't exist. If you don't think climate change is real, then you're completely ignorant and need to go back to sleep.

To say it's caused by cars, nuclear plants, etc., is neither here nor there; but climate change is real. It's observable. It's happening.

Very true, it has been happening since the beginning of time and will continue to happen long after we are gone.

these plants like canabis plant? Cars hit trees, trees help make air, cars change climate. Yea, I observes a car hit a tree on true TV. It's on later today, not happening not now unless rerun?

How would a nuclear plant cause emissions of greenhouse gases?

I thought that's what some people blamed global warming on. I really have no idea. I'm pretty sure I've heard people blaming nuclear plants for global warming.

Subzero -- I was referring to industrial plants, and didn't really understand the last couple of sentences in your post.

Fucking facepalm. lol

Never said those people were smart. I really don't like researching global warming because it's so riddled on both sides with political drama. And I've heard it. I've also heard that microwaves create cancerous food, that computers are trying to take over the world, and etc. People are incredibly stupid and have no idea what they're talking about. For instance, I have no idea what people blame global warming on because most of it is idiotic.

I have now learned from a quick Google search that people are proposing to rely more on nuclear energy to stop global warming. Honestly, I don't think nuclear energy is the right way to go either. But that's a different topic for shiz.
