We have reduced our emissions greatly here in the US, go overseas and see how much they pollute in comparison, you will be shocked. We have 300 million people, the chinese and indians have 1.3 billion each=2,600,000,000. There is no way you can convince me that "we" are the problem, yes we contribute to the problem, but with slash and burn cultivation in the 3rd world, and with just 2 countries having 8 times the number of humans we have, all of which burn some type of fuel for cooking, generating power, and transportation they make a bigger problem than we do. Al should go there and convince "them" to clean up their act. Al is an opportunist that panders to "so called intellectuals", mostly who just want to feel good about themselves so they think voting for a boob like Al is contributing to a solution, but in reality, they still consume more than the average American, ride around in their behemouth SUVs, yachts, and live in a McMansion while feeling superior to the common man. I say "tear down these McMansions", ride the bus, and stop consuming luxury goods, then come talk to me. Actions speak louder than words, otherwise Al and anyone who is like him are liars and hypocrites. The generation that was against the 'establishment' has failed completely to change anything in our world, they as a group are the largest and worst compared to what came before them, and in fact continue to claim the moral high ground, but have actually done nothing to carry out their lofty goals of making the world a better place. They are the destroyers. Talk will not change those facts, only actions can. Give back your ill gotten gains from being a wall street raider. Just because you have a tie dyed shirt hanging in the closet and read mother earth news does not absolve you of your lifetime of sins consuming and polluting with the best of them. They were against the establishment, now they 'are' the establshment.
