I think the reason he went on the road to promote climate change awareness is because he felt guilty for not bringing it up as an issue during the election…which could have made lots of people aware. McCain was not ashamed or afraid to bring it up, even though it probably cost him the primary.
I’m fairly certain Gore genuinely and firmly believes GW is a real problem…he listens to the many many scientists who say so. His anger comes from frustration at the obstinance of the skeptics and denialists, and I can understand that.
I know I’ve been attacked so much by denialists I nearly decided 3 years ago just to keep quiet about GW (tho I weep inside for those who are dying and will be dying from it) – I figured I’d just continue doing what I could to mitigate in my personal life, and the sin would be on those who refuse to do so, and that was very sad, but I’d been totally ineffective in trying to tell them – then a day later at Mass those readings we had today came up, and I knew I had to keep speaking out, no matter how much I’m attacked:
"If I say to someone wicked, ‘Evil- doer, you are to die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked person to renounce such ways, the wicked person will die for this guilt, but I shall hold you responsible for the death.
If, however, you do warn someone wicked to renounce such ways and repent, and that person does not repent, then the culprit will die for this guilt, but you yourself will have saved your life." Ez 33:7-9.

But if he refuses to listen to these, report it to the community; and if he refuses to listen to the community, treat him like a gentile or a tax collector." Matt 18:15-20.[/INDENT]
… from another poster … … Mr. Gore:
In the late nineties, I heard an internal voice I had heard once before, stern and imperative. “Blight! Blight! Poverty and blight across the land! Insure! Insure!” Then in a milder tone, “Interest rates will dwindle to nothing.” I presume it was an angel that had, years before, given a friend a bit of health advice through me that worked wonderfully well. So I trusted the voice; and the message is nothing if not true. I have posted this from time to time over the years. I told this to my dad shortly after hearing it, when interest rates started the long ratcheting downward, and he was incredulous. Yet here we are.
That being said, one must examine the prophecy of Our Lady of the Rosary given at Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Without the bishops collegial consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, she said Russia, God’s chosen instrument of chastisement, would spread errors leading to the “annihilation of nations.” Millions have perished via Russian-derived errors since that warning. So let’s look at the Russian influence in America’s presidents and their milieu.
Carter has shown his true colors in supporting Russian-derived Communism in upholding the thuggery of Venezuela’s dictator, Hugo Chavez. Clinton was expelled from Oxford after an allegation of rape; and visited Russia for reasons and by means unknown. Clinton’s Vice-President, **Al Gore, is the scion of a family enriched by Stalin’s financier, Armand Hammer, who gifted Occidental Petroleum interests to Senator Gore, Sr. for getting him off a treason charge. Clinton’s sale of the Teapot Dome-entailed Elk Hills Strategic Naval Reserve to Veep Al Gore’s Occidental Petroleum was to help “balance the budget.” **Gramsci Communist Hillary Clinton’s socialized medicine initiative advised jailing sick people who went to non-governmental doctors. Obama has been steeped in Russian Communism via the likes of his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis and others; and is enabling lavish supporter and Fabian Socialist, George Soros’ life’s work of crashing currency that he’s shorted.
Now **Al Gore, Jr., the oil baron, is eager to institute a carbon credits system in promoting the evils of global warming. One carbon credits broker will be Fannie Mae, who bought a pricey computer program to trade carbon credits. What’s the connection with mortgages? The mortgages issued by Fannie Mae, the same people who underwrote the housing bubble and crash (though warned of likely insolvency by Republicans), will reserve carbon credits for “green” dwellings to themselves; resulting in a profit per transaction as brokers; and a profit from carbon credits themselves; all paid for by consumers as higher fuel prices. **
America has spawned the Tea Party, whose only concern is a balanced budget. Abortion (another Russian hallmark), even partial-birth abortion, isn’t on their radar. Join if you believe our root problem is merely fiscal. Our Lady gave, as the “only” means to a period of peace, the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart by all bishops, led by Peter, at one time in a solemn, public, ceremony for the explicit conversion of Russia. “Only” means only. Excising the pre-consecration Russian influence in America (and the world) has only one solution. Until such time, all are asked to “pray the daily Rosary for peace” and make the five First Saturdays of Confession, Mass and Communion, and fifteen minutes keeping Our Lady company; all in reparation for affronts to her Immaculate Heart.
That is the whole incredible truth. Will we emulate the Virgin Mary’s purity of intent, humbly cast away our egos and let God bless our lives through seeking the collegial consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart and honoring the Immaculate Heart’s requests; or will we vainly seek human solutions as the juggernaut rolls inevitably onward? If I had not heard this voice, sounding as stern as the children of Fatima said the Angel of Peace sounded, I would probably not have cast America’s blight and poverty as spiritual in nature. Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph now.
