Al Gore has written a silly article, Climate of Denial, for Rolling Stone due to be on the news stands Friday but you can read it here. Aside from inadvertently raising the public's respect for ghost writers, Mr. Gore accomplishes nothing. Adjectives such as pubescent, sophomoric, and banal will enter the readers mind more quickly than profound, thoughtful, or reasoned. It's just plain juvenile. Emotional? Oh yes, emotional! One can almost hear him pant through his prose. Flood, drought, hurricanes, tornados, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and so on until the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypses seem like Roy Rogers and friends. Climate change to Gore is dogma not science and unbelievers are to badgered, ridiculed, and slandered. And the media is to do its share of righteous slander. And if there are any back sliders in the media we,the public should;
"... contact your local newspapers and television stations when they put out claptrap on climate — and let them know you're fed up with their stubborn and cowardly resistance to reporting the facts of this issue. One of the main reasons they are so wimpy and irresponsible about global warming is that they're frightened of the reaction they get from the deniers when they report the science objectively. So let them know that deniers are not the only ones in town with game. Stay on them! Don't let up! It's true that some media outlets are getting instructions from their owners on this issue, and that others are influenced by big advertisers, but many of them are surprisingly responsive to a genuine outpouring of opinion from their viewers and readers. It is way past time for the ref to do his job".
Yes, and contact his new employee, Keith Olbermann, and see if he helped him write this article or does he just write this poorly naturally?
