We Can Stop Climate Change Ourselves. This is How.

Climate Change is Here

When it comes to discussing the fight against climate change, there are two facts we must behold: First, climate change is here; it’s happening; it’s been happening…and we’re already feeling the impact. Second, for those living in the United States, the current political climate is not one of change. The current administration has, in fact, taken steps that have sent us backwards in the fight against global warming, not forward.

But we can change the tide (literally).

Ten years ago, Former Vice President Al Gore released a documentary entitled An Inconvenient Truth. For many Americans, especially those of younger generations, the film brought about the first meaningful conversations they’d had about global warming. Notably, the film did more than just encourage awareness, it placed the responsibility of changing our course (and the culpability of creating our current path) firmly in the hands of corporations, politicians, and—most notably—everyday citizens.

Now, a decade—and a demonstrably warmer world—later, the Former Vice President is releasing another film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

Whether you believe in cc or not, what's the chance that this one politician is the exception to the rule of politicians doing everything for personal gain...?

Ueegh. Al Gore. What a hypocrite. It's interesting that the onus is placed squarely on one country, while other nations get off scott-free.

I was watching a documentary on Netflix the other day about coral bleaching caused by rising ocean temperatures. Really sad that us humans are destroying this planet at such a rate, and little seems to be done about it.

Coral bleaching effectively results in the coral dying, and predictions made by the scientists is that in 30 years all coral reefs will be extinct. That is a major ecosystem in our world, and would have drastic knock on effects to other marine life.

People trying to advance some kind of climate change agenda should really not use Al Gore as their spokes person.

Personally, I don't think we can stop it. Shorter showers and recycling is just not going to hack it - the damage is too deep.
Civilisation needs to collapse, quickly, before it wipes out all other forms of life.

Oi vey. What a bunch of misanthropes you Warmists are.

Lol that's silly. In no time during history did we do this much for conservation and protection of animals. If civilisation collapses people will eat even the animals that are now protected without any form of sustainable farming.

Nihilism is a horrible disease. If you believe you are the problem, do your part and kill yourself first, leave the rest of us out of it.

No, I believe that you-all are the problem and I'm out to kill as many of you as possible.

That's not true.

Yeah, climate change... been going on for a few million years. You aint gonna stop it now...
Oh wait, did he mean human induced climate change? Well screw you Gore, I like warmer weather and more plant fertelizer in the air. Let's rather focus on fixing pollution. And hereis George again

With the left it's always somebody else who must make the sacrifices....

In February 2007, the day after his panicky global warming film "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award for best documentary, a shocking report based on public records revealed that Al Gore's Nashville home consumed 20 times more electricity than the average American household.1

Facing scrutiny for his extreme electricity consumption, the former vice president pledged to renovate his home to become greener and more energy-efficient. The extensive and expensive overhaul of Gore's house included installing solar panels and geothermal heating.2

In order to determine the effectiveness of the environmentally-friendly remodel and learn whether the self-appointed spokesman of the environmental movement has amended his energy-devouring ways, the National Center for Public Policy Research obtained Gore's electricity usage information through public records requests and conversations with the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In powering his home, Gore still greatly outpaces most Americans in energy consumption. The findings were shocking:
• The past year, Gore's home energy use averaged 19,241 kilowatt hours (kWh) every month, compared to the U.S. household average of 901 kWh per month.3,4
• Gore guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.5
• In September of 2016, Gore's home consumed 30,993 kWh in just one month – as much energy as a typical American family burns in 34 months.
• During the last 12 months, Gore devoured 66,159 kWh of electricity just heating his pool. That is enough energy to power six average U.S. households for a year.
• From August 2016 through July 2017, Gore spent almost $22,000 on electricity bills.6
• Gore paid an estimated $60,000 to install 33 solar panels. Those solar panels produce an average of 1,092 kWh per month, only 5.7% of Gore's typical monthly energy consumption.

No matter how the numbers are viewed, Al Gore uses vastly more electricity at his home than the average American – a particularly inconvenient truth given his hypocritical calls for all Americans to reduce their home energy use.
