The ad campaign aims to spend $300 million over three years to create a sense of both urgency and solvability around the climate crisis. The first ad hits TVs on Wednesday, likening the ...

Al Gore's got some big bucks Thoughts on the newly announced 'we' campaign	Jon Rynn	01 Apr 2008	Gristmill

Shouldn't those have been red colorless, odorless balloons? Competitive Whining, er, Enterprise Institute bashes Gore with all they've got	Sir Oolius	07 Mar 2008	Gristmill
A short while ago, Sir Oolius received a fundraising email from the Competitive Enterprise Institute asking for donations to help them with their new raison d'etre: yelling 'FU, Al Gore!' as loudly and as often as possible.
