Fifteen years ago i attended the Earth Summit in Rio. It was the start of a trend to separate the NGOs from any politicians attending the UN conferences. While the people were in a beautiful park in Rio the politicos were holed up in a very secluded, gated compound many miles from the city with high security. That is the only place Gore showed. Other candidates running in '92 came to the Earth Summit where the people were. Where we worked on the Climate Change documents.

One year later Gore gave the keynote address at a conference in Louisville, KY: The Earth Summit One Year Later (or similar). His slide show was phenomenal. Far better than the movie. He talked a good line with us, but i could never see where he "pushed hard" during his vice presidency. I did see him make a lot of promises where there was no intention on the part of the administration to uphold them.

So i'm back to my "aha". He was waiting for his buddies to be able to own the show. Timing is everything, as they say.

In fairness to Gore, he was holding Senate hearings over 15 years ago on global warming and got a big yawn from politicians and the public. As Vice-President he pushed Clinton hard on the issue of global warming. -----Original Message-----

Oh, my stomach. This article and the one on styrofoam i found on the site have made me sick.

It all makes sense now. Six months ago the media couldn't say the word environment, let alone green, without scorn. Now the word green has become god. Why after 15 years is Gore finally talking about global warming? Because all his elite banker buddies are ready with the corporate spin. They've taken the land and concocted the salvation myth. The "solution" doesn't have to come from the people; go back to sleep; they've got it all taken care of.

So in reading i need to ask one (of so many) questions - what happens to the benzene and the vinyl and the chlorofluorocarbons during the "superheating" of the sytrofoam? And what energy use are we talking about? Oops that's 2 questions. Scientific American? What a joke.
