Al Gore’s big announcement:
the Oscars have gone green. Find out more HERE and watch Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio make the announcement at tonight’s Academy Awards:
Transcript:
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the thrice-nominated Leonardo DiCaprio and Vice President Al Gore.
DICAPRIO: So, Mr. Gore, we’ve got a big crowd out here tonight and an even bigger one at home. Is there anything you might want to announce?
GORE: I’m just here for the movies. I’m just here for the movies, Leo, and I’m here to thank the talented people in this great industry who have been part of the mission to inspire a successful response to the climate crisis. And thank you Leo for being such a great ally in this effort.
DICAPRIO: Thank you sir. The American film industry has always taken its obligations to society very seriously and it’s stepping up once again. Tonight, we’re proud to announce for the first time in the history of the Oscars, this show has officially gone green.
GORE: Which means that environmentally intelligent practices have been integrated fully into every aspect of the planning and production of these academy awards. And you know what? It is not as hard as you might think. We have a long way to go, but all of us can do something in our own lives to make a difference.
DICAPRIO: Check out www.oscar.com to get ideas from the Academy and the National Resources Defense Council, the NRDC, about how you can do your part. Now, although our time is almost up, I want to say I’m very proud to be standing next to such an inspirational leader in the fight against global warming. You are a true champion for the cause, Mr. Gore.
GORE: Well, thank you.
DICAPRIO: Now, are you sure, are you positive that all this hard work hasn’t inspired you to make any other kind of major, major announcement to the world here tonight?
GORE: Well, I do appreciate that, Leo. And i’m kind of surpised at the feelings welling up here actually. You’ve been very convincing. Even though I honestly had not planned on doing this, I guess with a billion people watching, it’s as good as time as any. So, my fellow Americans, I’m going to take this opportunity right here and now to formally my intention — [music]

first out of the shoot…..I’m enjoying the 1/2 hour news show on fox. It’s great. better than the phony, rigged, and VAIN oscars.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:09 pmBesides, I’m really looking forward to seeing the President Rush segment again. Now that’s Oscar material.
damn
February 25th, 2007 at 10:13 pmI nearly whooped for joy.
The difference between the left and the right. The right feels obligated to worship their ideological crap.
Ballbuster, what did the childless, thrice divorced, obese, multi-millionaire with erectile dysfunction have to say tonight?
He’s so cool!

Yes it is!
February 25th, 2007 at 10:14 pmYes, President Rush. What a boon of comedic genius.
Because, you know, the idea of Rush being president is so laughable. Well, it would be if it weren’t so terrifying.
As far as the actual TOPIC goes….why? Why? WHY?!
Why is it that when Gore chooses to completely rule out politics does he show all the qualities that would make him the best Dem politician possible?! *cries*

As a member of the universal unitarian church, I am offended by your hate speech. are you not a member of the tolerant and diverse left?
February 25th, 2007 at 10:21 pmdo you refer to algore’s (diety of the earth first demonination), global warming as ideological crap?
“Global Warming” is a psychological operation, a “Psy-ops”, to condition the public to believe that we are going to be in a lot of trouble in the near future if we don’t take steps “X,Y, & Z”, and do it quickly. Those “steps” are what the Illuminati want us to follow so they can further consolidate their control over our lives-and still make a ton of money in the process.
Currently, former vice president Al Gore is one of the leading baton twirlers in this parade, but you have a small army of propaganda peddlers out there who are working day and night to “sell” this ‘Inconvenient Truth’.
We are being bombarded with a torrent of propaganda titled “Global Warming” Every TV and radio news broadcast, every TV talk show that touches on politics, every radio talk show, every major news stand magazine and newspaper are singing in almost perfect unison: “The Sky is Falling Unless We Do Something Soon about Global Warming”!
I just spoke on the phone yesterday with Dr. John Coleman, author of The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations: Shaping the Moral, Cultural, Political, and Economic Decline of the United States of America. He vigorously concurred that the ‘Global Warming’ blitz is a classic Tavistock propaganda campaign of the highest priority. Apparently, no effort or amount of money or ‘expert scientific opinion’ is being spared to bring us this ‘inconvenient truth’ so that we might all become convinced that the story line laid out by the propagandists is true, and therefore we must acquiesce to the new “regulations” or laws that will be set in place to “prevent the catastrophes that will surely ensue if we don’t curb Global Warming”‘. I’ve been hearing some of the most absurd and ludicrous statements over the radio from Global Warming ‘experts’ concerning the dire “consequences” that will follow within 50-100 years if we don’t follow their recommendations to ‘put the brakes on Global Warming’. It’s an insult to the intelligence of every human being on this planet to accept this unbridled hokum from those who posture themselves as ‘leading academic scientists’ and authorities on this subject (read Rockefeller/Rothchild-controlled talking heads).
February 25th, 2007 at 10:22 pmYes.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:26 pmDr. Johnny Republican feels he has the authority to say that Al Gore, backed by nearly every earth scientists in the world, is a propagandist.
GORE: So, my fellow Americans, I’m going to take this opportunity right here and now to formally my intention — [music]
That’s hilarious.
Don’t run Al, we need you doing exactly what you’re doing now.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:34 pmThanks.
Whenever the subjec of Global Warming comes up, the paid right wing trolls come out in droves. The Oil companies pay them a lot to keep up with the liberal sites and to respond heavily to the GW issue with misinformation. it won’t last much longer since even the Bush administration has admitted GW, but there are still some trolls who need their minimum wage jobs as online liars.
The tobacco companies would have done the same thing had the internet been around for public use back in the 70’s.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:37 pmIt ain’t over till it’s over..Gore may still run and win, I hope so….
ballwasher, I was a member of the U.U for year’s and still have many frind’s that are and we, yes we can not believe you are a member….Lacking in tolerance and caring is two of your post trait’s and another thing the majority of U,U,”s I know and met were Lib’s and extremely well educated….Be gone troll…..
February 25th, 2007 at 10:38 pmAn Incovenient truth got it….Wahoooooo.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:39 pmYeah, anything that Bushco does is worth an Oscar because it damn well isn’t real.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:39 pm#11 I think his official name is teabagger.

Please pretend you’re surprised! The shock and jaw drop would have been Al Snore NOT getting the Oscar.
On a political note, think of the possibilities with a Gore/Obama ticket.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:46 pmPlease! Documentary? Meanwhile, the globe does what it does when it does it… Gore and the environMENTALists are so pompous, thinking THEY have can change the temperature of the earth?
Utter fools the lot of them.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:48 pmSharon, I don’t really give a crap what YOUR little circle thinks. the statement by GSD was nothing short of hate speech. Would you defend his statement if I were Jewish, or a Muslim?

Comment by ballbuster
Yeh, Rush fits right in with the insane drug addicted hollyweirdos don’t he?
Say, you think a fat guy with a bottle of Viagra and a ticket to cuba is good president material? I think we need to give Rush a falafel or maybe a Segway to fly off of!
February 25th, 2007 at 10:51 pmgeezus, algore could get these people to drink Jim Jones koolaide with ease….if it would save the planet. Scary sht.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:52 pmSharon, Gore will NOT run and if he DID run, he would not possibly win. No shot.

The trolls are in a frenzy — I wonder why?
Heh.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:55 pmalgore, the former democrat v.p., won an oscar in hollyweird.

February 25th, 2007 at 10:55 pmSharon, I don’t really give a crap what YOUR little circle thinks. the statement by GSD was nothing short of hate speech. Would you defend his statement if I were Jewish, or a Muslim?
“Invade their countries, kill their leaders, convert them to christianity”
That’s hate speech. GSD was simply reminding us of why Rush Limbaugh is such an odious individual:

Enjoy this one - its got a great, catchy tune.

Are you crying? There is no crying in politics!!! Wimpy little teabagger, aren’t you?
February 25th, 2007 at 11:00 pmI hear a lot of bleating out of the righty trolls. Is this that big of a story? Guess so.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:01 pmSharon, I don’t really give a crap what YOUR little circle thinks.
So you admit your wasting your time and energy here with your childish banter because you don’t care what others think, yet you continue to post as if anyone cares what YOU think.
Get a park bench to holler your crap from drug addict enabler.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmBallwasher, I will not coment on what someone else wrote to you or your idol’s….BTW my circle of friend’s is huge and growing, I am truly blessed….I hope your circles are like the crop type, many huge and barley room to move….May your blessings be so overwhelming you will leave us and go else where..Be gone.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:04 pmHow did Limbaugh become the topic? Egads, you folks sure like to talk about Limbaugh’s addiction, but God forbid you’d have something critical to say about any leftwinger fighting addiction. It’s about LIMBAUGH, not about the addiction. You’re so hateful!
Oh, but it’s LIMBAUGH who made the most amazing case against global warming, calling you warmists ‘religious fanatics.’ Here, listen:
Rush dismantles Global Warming Pt. 1
Pt. 2
Pt. 3
Ok, so once you leftwing sky-is-falling chicken little types listen to all three bits, get back to me. Refute it, I double-dog dare ya.

February 25th, 2007 at 11:04 pm“The trolls are in a frenzy — I wonder why?”
This is all the left can offer: name calling on the internet.
*L* Meanwhile, they’re worshipping at the altar of doom.
Anyone on the right willing to spend even 1 minute inside the head of a doom-and-gloom leftwing moonbat?
Not me. *rolling*

Sharon,
February 25th, 2007 at 11:09 pmThat was probably the most eloquent and friendly F-Offs I have ever seen. I am truly impressed.
Truly.
Rush Limbaugh’s severe case of flatulence is the true cause of global warming. We all gotta pitch in and do something about it!
February 25th, 2007 at 11:10 pmOne must know the definition of truth before bringing truth into the discussion.
Go home, Jimmy Z, and bring us the light once the light doth shine on thee.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:12 pmPhil, listen and learn, or don’t and don’t. Simple.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:12 pmCreative F-off-ing… that’s “impressive”. *LMAO!*

I say we grease his ears, remove what spine their isn’t and cork the methane flow with Rush’s own hydrosavalic skull.

It’s like listening to the pig, squealer, on Animal Farm.
I cannot phathom why anyone thinks that prattle ‘proves’ anything. Rush gives you no facts or figures, no empirical data, no computer simulations, nothing. Just mental masturbationism. And yet you suck his spooge up like it’s gospel.
Wouldn’t it be better if you got some actual facts and figures, from physics and science type places instead of wasting time listening to an uneducated Archie Bunker?

As opposed to your self-absorbed, superficial life? I am not sure why you feel so superior to other human beings. I know it is a Republican trait but I thought you guys usually hid it better.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:51 pm45 year’s ago some one told me I was the only woman he knew that could tell him to go to hell and made him feel like he wanted to go….
That was in response to H.B.’s complement if that’s what it was..
Funny how the troll’s are so upset with art’s, culture, humor and false idols like limpdick..Even funnier how they seem to worship at the feet of druggies and this one in particular who has 3 asses 1 in his face and 2 on his butt and spew’s shit from all 3…A talent maybe but certainly not a good one..
Why don’t any of you get up in arm’s about all the people dieing because of your other idol, drunk, driggie bush.?..
Last shot for little ballwasher, I have been with the programs to save the earth for 45 year’s….Water, soil, air and recycling all that time…From the slamming you do and content of your posts I think you have not lived half that long..Try a new gig the one your using is not working..Huge Blessings are on the way…Be gone..

You simply must teach me this skill. :)
February 26th, 2007 at 12:07 amThe reason there is so much name calling by the left aimed at the right is for three reasons:
1) We’re trying to enjoy the win, so don’t expect much substantial arguments from us in this thread.
2) We’ve already given tons of great arguments in the comments section, not to mention the tons of great information in the posts themselves. So why repeat everything here for the trolls?
3) At the end of the day there is no real reason to type out an argument against the trolls. Online debate in a comments section doesn’t really do anything. Posts are scrolled over and missed. Everyone is talking at once. Trolls ignore comments they don’t care to read or respond to. A real debate should be held one-on-one.

Genesis, the star (large comet?) wormwood. Earth. Kappow.
BTW, we said Global Warming, not Global (biblical) Ending. Besides, we need to stop enslaving ourselves to foreign oil it’s not infinite and will run out. The right wing talking point was, Bush said, to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. correct?
Does not new technology reduce our dependence on foreign oil?

Let me tell you, ballbuster. The first post I saw by you was out and out rude, and confrontational. Hence your new name, ballslobber. You start that way, you’ll finish that way. Got it?

Interesting that you are so sensitive to personal attacks, ball. Especially since you seem to feel that it is okay to mention my legs, and the hair that you imagine (fantasize, maybe) covering them. That seemed very personal, and, unless you like your women old and hairy, not very complementary to me.

wow, you girls shake up easily. now whats all this drooling about the bible?
where does it say that?
Who say’s? And prove it.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:58 amAnyone still supporting republicans is a Nazi sympathizer.
February 26th, 2007 at 1:01 amAnyone who quotes the bible as a factual historical or scientific document is NUTS.
yes, oil is a finite resource,
yes it is running out,
no there is no viable replacement yet,
no there probably will not be one in place until after oil collapses.
This administration has deliberately altered legitimate scientific data in order to propagandize and misinform the public about the catastrophic effects coming in the near future from climate change.
It also deliberately altered and misreported intelligence information to get congress to okay a war on fraudulent information.
We need Al to do BOTH jobs, and he could do both from the
white house with a supportive congress
after the war crimes and treason trials are over and Duhhhbyah
and all his cronies are in prison.

in florida, after all the crap from the elections commissioner
who happened to be a bush campaigner, thousands of votes were
criminally misdirected. unfortunately the election commissioner has to pursue those thefts as crimes and never prosecuted them.
lets stay with the program, though.
would you agree that there is a limited supply of oil on earth ?
and that we can count the rate at which humans are using it?
if not, upon what figures do you base your figures?
Thanks for the compliment, Balls, but Zooey is tough all on her own. She needs no help from me.

February 26th, 2007 at 5:01 am#1. Congratulations to Gore and all the other winners of the evening
February 26th, 2007 at 5:59 am#2. To the crybaby whiner fascists: Rush is a complete liar and deserves to be put in a stockade so little children can throw rotten food at his lard ass. In 1993, Rush declared on his radio show ” trees cause pollution”. ‘nuf said about that idiot.
#3. somebody mentioned Gore/Obama…howzabout Gore/Clinton? No doubt as absurd as anything the GOP has fielded ( Quayle? Dole? might as well get Duke teamed up with Robertson)
Some of the comments in here, the ones where people offer the most ludicrus rebuke of global warming, these comments made my heart sink. I do not think that Al Gore made his movie just for the money, or that global warming is propoganda in any form.
I do, however, think that those who are saying that are espousing their own propoganda. Don’t believe in global warming? Go to the ice caps in Alaska, the ones that used to be so vast, and watch them shrink right before your eyes. Having been to Alaska ten years ago and again about three months ago, I can tell you first hand the enormous difference the ten years have made. The place is much less icy now, and that’s a difference yuo can see.
People who claim there is no global warming are either incredibly stupid or trying to advance a political agenda, or both. I never trust people who dismiss categorically what is clearly in fromt of us all. They will never fool me, and they cannot stop me from bing as green as possible. Global warming is real, it is here, and it is only just beginning.
February 26th, 2007 at 6:05 amNah, no tirades and no arguing I for one believe global warming is a joke. Just like smoking was cool and now its not…wake up they want to DECIDE FOR YOU..its a game your the button and your being pressed. Plus our government agreed on it…thats anthrax bread guys..but why would you test before you eat?

I suppose then that the dramatic shrinking of the glaciers in the Swiss and French Alps that I have personally witnessed over the past 50 plus years is also propaganda, as are the devastating heat waves we have had in Europe…

February 26th, 2007 at 7:03 amSorry Repukes, if reality is just too much for you to handle please continue to ignore it like you ignored your science classes in high school and let the straight ‘A’ students deal with the problem.
February 26th, 2007 at 8:06 am“I Need to Wake Up” songwriter Melissa Etheridge (Oscar winning Melissa Etheridge) said in her acceptance speech that this issue isn’t partisan-we can all be “green” and can make a difference.
I respect her ideals, but it is clear from some of the trolldroppings here that many regressives prefer to remain ignorant and complicit in the damage our species does to our globe.
We all need to wake up and act. Al Gore, thanks for carrying the message and foisting it into public consciousness. And thank you, Melissa Etheridge, for furthering that effort with a purposeful song!
February 26th, 2007 at 9:11 amIf you notice, the current bunch of Republicans don’t want any kind of conservation of any kind. If they had their way, I guess it would be OK to waste at will without anyone questioning why. Open fires on every streetcorner fueled by toxic waste or cans of motor oil? Sure, why not. Throw trash in the river, go for it. Who cares?
To find a Republican who actually gave a shit about nature and the environment, you’d have to go back to Teddy Rooselvelt.
It is time to ignore this people and push them aside. They are irrelevant… and dangerous.
February 26th, 2007 at 9:56 amHere’s a simple question that I’ve always wondered why nobody ever asks the republican trolls. What if you’re wrong?
I mean, suppose, I’m wrong and global warming doesn’t exists. We spend a lot of energy and money on something that we can’t affect anyway.
Now, suppose you’re wrong. We do nothing and the world suffers a catastrophic disaster that we could have prevented.
Personally, I’d rather risk wasting time, energy, and money.
February 26th, 2007 at 10:09 amas long as we the people are fighting with each other we don’t seem to have much energy left to make sure the politicians are doing what they should be doing. i wonder why they keep us arguing…
February 26th, 2007 at 10:27 amGore should not run for president. He is much more influential in his current role.
February 26th, 2007 at 10:43 amIs this some kind of tuff chick thing you learned from OHW?
Comment by ballbuster
I learned to be a tough chick all on my own, thank you very much. I’m sure I’ll learn much from old hippie woman, if she sticks around.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:54 amballslobber,
I don’t know what the hell you’re tlaking about in #80. I never drool about the bible. Must have been some other tough chick.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:55 amI’d vote for him in-a-heartbeat if it came down to him and Hillary Clinton.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pmI’ve seen this type before, it’s acute delusional republikkklan sarcoma, it strikes roughly 50% of the U.S. population and starts with frequenting blogs with turrets like symptoms and delusions of grandeur, then progresses into fascinations with fecal matter, denial and sociopath behavior, finally coalescing into bizarre Fox News obsessions coupled with a strong desire to become a Faux - rather Fox News anchor. The only cure is either ignoring the sufferer or decapitation, grim either way.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:42 pmOn a different note, any one else see the similarities between the U.S. now and what Texas became when both were “rules” under Herr Bush? Pollution increased in both Texas and then nationally, education levels dropped, both went into the financial red (republikkklans love the color red for some reason, maybe it’s the relation to blood that draws them in like sharks in water), hate crimes increased (when Bush was gov. of Texas, homosexuals were prosecuted for sodomy, just as hate crimes have nationally risen against homosexuals in part due to the Bush administrations campaign to ban gay marriage - as if there aren’t more pressing issues than marriage because Republikkklans like Rupert Murdoch and Gingrich have respected the institute of marriage so well), unemployment has risen, and once again we are at war for??? any one know? any one? Bueller? Yes, voodoo ecomonics, voodoo economics. Republikkklans have done so much good for America, right, we need more Republikkklans like the country needs another war (and if Herr Buch has his way, that might be his departing gift).
February 26th, 2007 at 12:50 pm[…] Climate change broke onto the big screen - and then made the summer concert line-up - but it may have brought political action to a new level at the Academy Awards, where Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio announced the event’s having gone green. […]

February 26th, 2007 at 4:33 pmThe Great British Poet Andrew Marvell wrote in his poem “The Garden”:
February 26th, 2007 at 8:38 pm“Annihilating all that’s made
To a green Thought in a green Shade.”
AL GORE’S Green-Film AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH has OVERWHELMED, DESTROYED, BURIED, ANNIHILATED the repugnant-repub rightwingnut cranks like Inhofe, Crichton and other pointy-headed fools and dolts and downright IDIOTS, MORONS and IMBECILES!!!!!
It’s funny how the comments have died off…maybe it’s all the stories on digg about how Gore uses 20 times the electricity and gas that the average american uses. I guess it’s “do as i say, not as I do.” Typical liberal b.s. (E.G., I know how to spend your money better than you do)
February 26th, 2007 at 8:46 pmThe GREEN has ANNIHILATED the red!

February 26th, 2007 at 9:50 pmReading through this nonsense I have to say - and don’t take offense if this doesn’t apply to you personally — don’t blame the current idiot president or his cronies for what’s going on. Anyone that thinks that democracy ENDS with the vote is a blithering idiot and deserves to be ruled - and while you are all NOT writing and/or emailing your representatives weekly from the local to federal levels, someone not actually represented by them is and is, thus, getting represented — the neo-cons and big industry haven’t taken over - but have filled a void conveniently left by you - the otherwise ruling people.
Some marketing wizard has apparently sold you all on the idea that “a vote for me means you can sit back and enjoy the ride”. “We the people” cannot actually rule if they don’t take the action necessary to accomplish the task.
So - don’t bitch because your reps don’t read your minds - and the so-called polls really are a poor substitute - you can only justify bitching when they ignore what you actually tell them - so shut the hell up and go back to your Fox News with your bald Brittany and dead Smith nonsense - I’m trying to write!
Ask not what your government can do for you — and if I have to do it alone … we’re just going to have to start calling each other ‘comrade’.
Da spidanya!
February 27th, 2007 at 12:36 amBallsniffer - how empty is your life if you spend your days trolling on blogs trying to rile people up? I’m kinda on the fence about GW…but I would certainly be for an innitiative to remove pollutants like yourself from earth. You are certainly a waste of good oxygen
February 27th, 2007 at 11:38 amRE-Elect President Gore!
Gore/Obama 2008!! THAT’S the ticket!
February 27th, 2007 at 5:51 pmBallbuster is an example of a truly wasted existance.
February 27th, 2007 at 11:55 pmballbuster is a true example of a wasted existance.
February 27th, 2007 at 11:57 pmWell, even the New York Times reports that many scientists want Gore to stop his GW alarmism until all the fact are actually in. If you elitist bitches can read so well, go look it up. What do you say about that, liberal jack asses?
Troll.
