This was the only reason I really cared about the Oscars this year. I'm not really into the Awards Show thing ... but I wanted this film to win.
Quote from Gore:
Holding the Oscar, Gore said that solving the climate crisis is "not a political issue; it's a moral issue."

Gore's mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home....I guess everyone except him?
Do as I say...not as I do?

"A resounding triumph for group-think."
Brilliant rebuff, your king will be proud. Now to reinforce it you will need to utter it several more times in this post and others. Do not fear, you know what to think, you have been told and 19 more percent are with you. For the fatherland!!

Sure, it's a money issue -
Like the billions upon billions of dollars going each day to the Saudis and rest of the oil-gangsters.
Then again, only people capable of thinking will think.
Rest of them follow their mindless leader like sheep, and will jump right over the cliff!
There is really no cure for ignorance.

Left wing Hollywood voters? I mean I have heard many prejudices about the entertainment industry, but most of them are about jewish people. Sounds like any time someone disagrees with you you just put the words "Lef wing" in front of it. When they put onions on your burger after you requested no onions do you call them "Left wing burger makers"? When the social worker tells you to get a job is she a "Left wing social worker"? When your doctor tells you that your too fat is he left wing? When you got F's in school is it because all universities are crowded with left wing instructors? No wonder I always hear about universities being left wing.

PLEASE! This is Gores' lame attempt to save his legacy in the history books. He was a wet noodle as V.P. and nothing has changed. How ignorant does he think the American Citizens are "This is not a political issue, it's a moral issue" suggesting what? that The multinational conglomerates (that absolutely have no morals) will do the morally correct thing and reduce the amount of pollution they spew (tons per day) into the atmosphere or stop destroying the rain Forrest (hundreds of acres a day) that is the probably the only way to reduce or reverse the damage that has been done? This is the most political issue there is, if the Politicians don't draft, enact and enforce real regulations humans will eradicate themselves from the planet. The bottom line is that nothing will change as long as multinational conglomerates are the major contributors to political campaigns or in control of all the information that the (FOX leading the way) news spoon feeds American Citizens.

That's your opinion but in mine he is right and it has to be a moral issue. He doesn't mean that the big corporations are going to do the moral thing because they won't. It'sup to us to elect the right administrators that will do the right thing. Now, if that will happen is another story.

And he is right. This planet is the only home we have and we hven't been taking good care of it. What are our children going to inherit? A litter box? A junk yard? It's time all of us start to do something about our home planet. We owe it to our future generations.
We thought that Earth was so big we could trash it and nobody was going to notice it. We were and are wrong. Earth and nature can take so much and after that the balance starts breaking and it won't stop, just like a chain reaction.

I was watching CNN the other day and Wolf Blitzer was interviewing the Department of Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman, and the subject of the environment and global warming and the apparent turn around by this President and the White House opinion in regards to global warming. Well he went on to say that they agree with the science but that they would need more science on what the overall man made effects on global warming are. Then running out of time on the interview, Wolf brings up the upcoming Oscars and and the Movie "An Inconvenient Truth" and then wolf asks Samuel W. Bodman, "have you seen it?" And his answer "NO".
