Notable quotable Al Gore on making room for outrage	David Roberts	04 Sep 2007	Gristmill
This quote from Al Gore is so apt I had to pass it along: I have a lot of friends who share the following problem with me: Our sense of outrage is so saturated that when a new outrage occurs, we have to download some existing outrage into an external hard drive in order to make room for a new outrage.

Al Gore calls for civil disobedience Against climate polluters	Glenn Hurowitz	16 Aug 2007	Gristmill
From The New York Times's Nicholas Kristof ($ub req'd): I ran into Al Gore at a climate/energy conference this month, and he vibrates with passion about this issue -- recognizing that we should confront mortal threats even when they don't emanate from Al Qaeda. 'We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer,' he said, and (perhaps because my teenage son was beside me) he encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carb ...

Bogus accusations of hypocrisy against Gore They just keep coming	Gar Lipow	26 Jul 2007	Gristmill
There is constant drumbeat of accusations of hypocrisy against Al Gore for using offsets. Although the people who do this sort of thing are aiming for the lizard brain, I suppose it is worth pointing out that it is an obviously bogus accusation. Look, I'm an offset critic. I think offsets are one of the biggest wrong turns we can make in fighting environmental destruction, especially global warming. Al Gore, on the other hand, is a strong advocate of offsets. He hel ...

NASA's Hansen on Live Earth, Gore, and coal It's all about coal	Joseph Romm	25 Jul 2007	Gristmill
More from James Hansen's email: I was invited to go on stage at "Live Earth" at the Meadowlands, between Jon Bon Jovi and Smashing Pumpkins performances. I agreed to this, on the condition that I could bring my grandchildren, Sophie and Connor. I assumed it would be like last year when I appeared with Al Gore before a young audience, with a rather impromptu discussion of global warming. Bad assumption. When I asked "Where's Al?", I was told th ...

Climate change message: positive or negative? Al Gore does both	David Roberts	24 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Both:'What we're facing worldwide really is a planetary emergency,' Gore said. 'I'm optimistic, but we're losing this battle badly.' That's in an article about Al Gore at the Aspen Institute.It's going to take a 90-percent decrease in carbon emissions from developed fossil fuel guzzlers like the U.S. and a 50-percent decrease worldwide to get a handle on the problem, Gore said -- changes that will take major leaps of political will far beyond what current politicians s ...

Your media at work The continuing quest to find something, anything to bash Gore with	David Roberts	18 Jul 2007	Gristmill
People magazine reports that Al Gore's daughter Sarah just got married, revealing in the course of the article that Chilean sea bass was served at the rehearsal dinner. In the Daily Telegraph, Australian Humane Society Rebecca Keeble writes that 'only one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped.' Why? Because Chilean sea bass is endangered. ABC politics columnist Jake Tapper, smelling the kind of vapid, gimmicky story upon which his profession thr ...

The Day the Music Lied? Live Earth reaches an estimated 2 billion, critics harp on hypocrisy		09 Jul 2007	Daily Grist
The Day the Music Lied? Live Earth reaches an estimated 2 billion, critics harp on hypocrisy By all accounts, Live Earth (perhaps you've heard of it?) was a smashing success. Organizers say the shows reached about 2 billion people in 130 countries. More than 150 musical acts crooned, and supporters held more than 10,000 registered "fringe events" in addition to the main concerts on every continent. A ...

Alive after Live Earth Your intrepid Grist correspondent sweats through an arena concert, so you don't have to	Emily Gertz	09 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Don't ever say we never did anything for you. On Saturday, while you were cavorting in the surf, grilling organic free-range meat on the barbecue (or is that barbecuing meat on the grill?), or kicking back with a good book in the sweet, sweet air conditioning, Grist was sweating at Live Earth New York. Er, New Jersey. Whatever. We suffered through sets by Ludacris, Melissa Etheridge, Roger Waters, and the Police to report back -- to YOU, dear Grist reader -- from the fr ...

D.C. to host surprise Live Earth show Final point awarded in Gore v. Inhofe	Sarah van Schagen	06 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Remember how Gore wanted to have the U.S. Live Earth concert in Washington, D.C., on the National Mall? And then Inhofe was all "it's partisan, you can't do it, neiner, neiner." And then Gore was all "fine, we'll have it at Giants Stadium in New Jersey." And then Inhofe was all "fine!" And then they both slammed their doors. Yeah, good times. Well, now, Gore's all "Ha, ha, sucka, we worked around your whole 'partisan' bullshit, ...

Al Gore's call to action An editorial in the NYT	David Roberts	30 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Al Gore:... we should demand that the United States join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90 percent in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy Earth....We should aim to complete this global treaty by the end of 2009 -- and not wait until 2012 as currently planned....A new treaty will still have differentiated commitments, of course; countries will be ...

Big Al succumbs to ethanomania Predicts rabbit out of hat in three years, too	JMG	30 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Here's a film clip of Al Gore making a firm prediction that 'next generation ethanol' not dependent on corn or food crops will move out of the lab in 'three years.' He discusses the energy balance question, fails to question the use of coal for process heat, and suggests that there is some sort of 'distribution network' that's going to be built. Sad.

Rolling Stone on the climate crisis A package of good stories	David Roberts	19 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Rolling Stone has a package of stories on Al Gore's climate crusade in the current issue. First up is a long interview with the man himself , including this nice tidbit: What figure in the administration, other than the president himself, do you hold most responsible for standing in the way of meaningful change on global warming? Oh, Cheney, of course. Both Bush and Cheney come out of the carbon-extraction industry. But Cheney has been the more forcefu ...

TNR gives good Gore	David Roberts	18 Jun 2007	Gristmill
After reading so many awful stories about Al Gore, it's nice to finally come upon a good one. The reliably excellent Ryan Lizza gets it right in The New Republic. It's also worth reading the transcript of his interview with Gore, which contains much tasty goodness, including this compact, dead-on description of modern presidential campaigns:I don't want to be critical of the candidates, that's not my intention. But I don't think the modern campaign process facilitates ...

Live Earth: This just in ... Antarctica gig lined up for Live Earth concerts	Chris Schults	14 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Antarctica gig lined up for Live Earth concerts: OK, so they're not rock stars. But scientists with the British Antarctic Survey will guarantee Al Gore's promise that the Live Earth concerts on July 7 will be performed on all 7 continents. They'll be performing during the dead of winter at the Rothera Research Station. In fact, it'll be the first time anyone outside the station has heard the indie rock-folk band, Nunatak, play at all. (Nunatak, by the way, is a G ...

Al Gore and politics	David Roberts	31 May 2007	Gristmill
Al Gore: When the inevitable question came -- his intentions about 2008 -- he said politics 'rewards a tolerance for artifice, repetition, triviality that I don't have in as great supply as I might have had when I was younger.' ... 'I think there are a lot of things about politics as it has evolved that I'm not really that good at,' he said. 'Some people find out earlier in their lives that they're not good at what they've chosen to do.' He interjected a self ...
