Belief in Global Warming at New Low; Gore Launches Re-Education Project Tuesday, July 12, 2011

“Absolute certainty is a privilege of uneducated minds and fanatics.” - C.J. Keyser
On Monday, UPI announced the findings of a recent Harris poll that revealed a record low amount of people believe the global warming theory. Only 44% of the 2163 people polled say they believe that CO2 is warming the earth:
Only 44 percent say they 'believe the theory' that carbon dioxide emissions are warming the Earth, down from 51 percent in 2009 and 71 percent in 2007, but most movement has been into the 'not sure' column.
This poll comes just a week after climate scientists admitted that the climate actually cooled over the last decade, which they blamed on sulfur pollution from China's coal-burning power plants. This led some to suggest that sulfur emissions could be increased to geoengineer the climate to cool it down further.
Coincidentally, today, Al Gore launched his new attempt to re-educate the masses with the Climate Reality Project, which he calls a "global campaign to broadcast the reality of the climate crisis." Gore claims that oil and coal companies are deceiving the public and have "unlimited resources to sow doubt", but that he has reality on his side.
However, it seems his data is a bit dated. Given the new revelations about coal-burning plants actually cooling the planet, you'd think he'd be now supporting them. Furthermore, it has long been known that BP and other oil companies were founding members of the "Cap-and-Trade" lobby in support of carbon taxes.
His new organization invites people to "reject the mistruths they hear every day" and "discover the truth about climate change for themselves." Notice he doesn't say seek the truth, but rather discover it -- from him.
It'd be unfair to completely pick apart his exact words because this organization seems like it was put together in about five minutes, complete with typos in his announcement and a shabby website with one lonely blog post.
Yet, the website makes a startling claim, that they know how to save us from global warming. The final sentence of the About Us section reads "The climate crisis is real and we know how to solve it."
Gore doesn't give any details as to how he'll "solve" the climate crisis. But if the game plan is still the same one he developed with Ken Lay from Enron, then it'll likely include giving more money to the banking overlords, further manipulating the biosphere, deliberate reduction in the population, and perhaps even starting a nuclear war.
In the video below, put together specifically to launch this project, Gore tells the viewer that the climate crisis is "not your fault", but we must act together to fix it. A point he reinforces on their website, "Climate change is not your fault for the car you drive, the lights you turn on, or the food you eat. The climate crisis is our problem." He also makes a call to reveal the deniers:
If you want to contribute to "spreading climate reality" or reveal the deniers about science, send Al Gore and his crew some facts and figures directly through the Climate Reality Project's contact form here.

Al Gore returns with new climate campaign
Climate Reality Project aims to expose reality of global warming crisis and kicks off with a 24-hour live streamed event
Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 12 July 2011 17.20 BST
It should almost be called Inconvenient Truth 2.0. Five years after Al Gore launched his original documentary project, the former vice-president returned on Tuesday with a new campaign aimed at exposing the full scale of the climate crisis.
Gore's Climate Reality project announced it would kick off with a 24-hour live streamed event on 14 September. The day's events will include a new multimedia presentation by Gore that will "connect the dots" between extreme weather events and climate change, a statement said.
The campaign represents a modest comeback for Gore who has reduced his public profile on climate action in the past few years – probably out of consideration for the political consequences to his fellow Democrat Barack Obama.
It is being launched four years after Inconvenient Truth, based on Gore's climate change slide-show, won an Oscar for best documentary.
The project made Gore the most visible advocate for action on climate change in the US - but it also made him an even greater target for the oil and coal lobby and Republicans.
Republicans attacked Gore's calls for climate action as a symbol of government excess. In recent years, the new conservative majority in the house of representatives has gone even further, casting almost any sort of environmental issue – including even a move to energy-saving bulbs – as an assault on personal freedom.
But Gore came back into the spotlight last month in an essay in Rolling Stone in which he also accused Obama of failing to fight hard enough for climate action.
Tuesday's announcement, which echoed some of the themes in Gore's Rolling Stone piece, suggests the former vice-president thinks the time has come for a broader fightback.
"As the impacts of climate change are growing more prevalent, so is the resistance to finding the truth and implementing solutions. Just like the tobacco companies that spent decades in denial that smoking causes cancer, oil and coal companies are determined to sow denial and confusion about the science of climate change, ignore its impacts, and create apathy among our leaders," the release said.
"This event is the first step in a larger, multifaceted campaign to tell the truth about the climate crisis and reject the misinformation we hear every day."
Gore gave further details of the project in an interview with the climate blogger Joe Romm, saying the event would feature a new 30-minute slideshow with video on extreme weather events. Gore will host the event from New York City, but new content will be added to the slide show for the 24 locations used in each time zone.
"Each site where a presentation originates will have basically the same 30-minute slide show, but with slides used in each time zone that illustrate particular impacts and particular efforts towards solutions at the venue representing than that time zone. And then the second 30 minutes of each hour will include a panel discussion focused on the climate crisis and the solutions to it from the perspective of leaders and scientists and others in that particular location. So it will be a 24-hour event," he told Romm.
