Another Inconvenient Truth Al Gore Needs to Realize

The Vegetarian Union of North America lists many links about how eating a vegan diet helps the environment in a very big way.

Our New STOP GLOBAL WARMING Bumper Sticker

Our exclusive bumper sticker says:

STOP GLOBAL WARMING

GO VEGAN

Buy this and display it and help save the earth! Buy a bunch and send them to friends and to politicians.

Please note: We created this bumper sticker as a public service. We don't make any profit on this item.

Here's some info in mainstream media about how science shows that switching to a vegan diet does more to help prevent global warming than switching to a hybrid car. And here's an article about a recent scientific study.

Urge Congress To Act Against Global Warming

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wrote the following:

As one of my first acts as Speaker, I took action addressing this critical issue and introduced a plan to create a Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. This special committee will develop recommendations on policies, strategies, technologies, and other innovations to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and greenhouse gas emissions, while maintaining our economic competitiveness. Next week, Vice President Al Gore will testify before Congress, bringing his career of activism on this issue to the fight in the Congress. A global leader on combating climate change, he has helped to educate people around the world and has moved so many to real action. By coming to Congress, his testimony will help us shape the kind of reforms we need and garner even more attention to this growing crisis. Together, we have the opportunity to affect change so great that it can make a difference for future generations. We need your support today if we are going to reverse the disastrous effects of global warming.

She provided this link making it easy to contact Congress.

Al Gore wrote the following:

On March 21st, I will testify before Congress on the immediate action that needs to be taken to end the climate crisis. At the hearing, I will deliver the 294,374 messages you signed, demonstrating that hundreds of thousands of people share my sense of urgency.

Please ask your friends to sign our message to Congress today by visiting: http://www.algore.com/cards.html

Jay Leno on Peta's asking Gore to Go Vegan

In his comedy monologue tonight, Jay Leno mentioned PETA's asking Al Gore to really help stop global warming by going vegan. Jay then added his own comment: "I only eat meat that's been run over by a Prius, roadkill hit by a hybrid."

Worldwide Scientists Say Global Warming To Cause Grave Damage to Earth and People

Worldwide scientists say effects of global warming will cause grave damage to the earth and its people. Here's an excerpt from an Associated Press Article:

"Things are happening and happening faster than we expected," said Patricia Romero Lankao of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., one of the many co-authors of the new report. The draft document says scientists are highly confident that many current problems -- change in species' habits and habitats, more acidified oceans, loss of wetlands, bleaching of coral reefs, and increases in allergy-inducing pollen -- can be blamed on global warming. For example, the report says North America "has already experienced substantial ecosystem, social and cultural disruption from recent climate extremes," such as hurricanes and wildfires. But the present is nothing compared to the future. Global warming soon will "affect everyone's life ... it's the poor sectors that will be most affected," Romero Lankao said.

And co-author Terry Root of Stanford University said: "We truly are standing at the edge of mass extinction" of species.

Many - not all - of those effects can be prevented, the report says, if within a generation the world slows down its emissions of carbon dioxide and if the level of greenhouse gases sticking around in the atmosphere stabilizes. If that's the case, the report says "most major impacts on human welfare would be avoided; but some major impacts on ecosystems are likely to occur."

Because of this, I personally urge people to switch to a plant-based way of eating, which can stop global warming!

Hillary's Great Idea Re: Energy

In this video, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposes having oil companies donate some of their windfall profits to promote new clean energy technologies through a Strategic Energy Fund. Among the many things the fund would do to prevent global warming, it would quadruple the tax breaks for the makers of clean energy vehicles, and it would invest $9 billion in an energy research initiative

Hillary says in this video that someone once said "There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America."

How very true. You go, girl!

Sheryl Crow Launches Stop Global Warming Tour

Along with activist Laurie David, Sheryl Crow today announced she'll be doing a Stop Global Warming college tour:

The multi-city tour will begin on Monday, April 9th in Dallas, Texas, where the duo plan to shine a harsh CFL light on the Dallas-based TXU Corporation, which is trying to fast-track 11 dirty coal burning power plants. Texas already dumps more CO2 into the atmosphere than any other state in the nation, and TXU's plan would more than double that.

The activist and entertainer will visit 12 cities across the Southeastern United States in a bio-diesel bus to motivate college students to become part of the movement to stop global warming and demand solutions from themselves, their schools and their country. The multi-city tour will continue on to select cities, including: College Station, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; New Orleans, LA; Birmingham, AL; Auburn, AL; Gainesville, FL; Atlanta, GA; Charlottesville, VA; Nashville, TN; Chapel Hill, NC; College Park, MD and Washington, DC.

The 90-minute presentation will include remarks by David, a short performance by Crow, clips from An Inconvenient Truth, humorous clips from top comedians, and a dialogue with students.

They've got my vote!

Go Vegan & Stop Global Warming

When a right-wing outlet like Fox News does an article linking global warming to meat-eating, it's a day to rejoice!

It's great to see this getting into mainstream media.

Fashion Ads That Spotlight Global Warming

It's great when a fashion company uses the power of its ad spending to sound the alert about important global issues. I commend the clothing line Diesel for its activism in spotlighting the facts about global warming. In one of their new surrealistic ads, you see some typically gorgeous models relaxing on a Manhattan rooftop, with the surrounding city looking chill and macabre, like something's happened to remove most of its buildings. In another Diesel ad, models lounge on a beach, while in the background Mount Rushmore's presidential faces are submerged in ocean water up to their noses. When you go to Diesel's website and tool around, you eventually find a link where you can sign up for a global warming campaign. Diesel makes the following statement:

Over the years, Diesel's ad campaigns have touched on several global issues in a signature over-the-top, irreverent, often surreal way. 2007 opens with a campaign that highlights the risks awaiting our planet due to global warming. We are only a fashion company and do not think that - with just one campaign - we can save the world, but if our unconventional tone of voice and the reputation of our brand can grab and hold people's attention a little longer than a news feature can, make them think twice about the consequence of all our actions and realize our individual responsibility, then something at least will have been accomplished.

Fans to Rock Against Global Warming

Al Gore has just announced a 24-hour-long series of worldwide rock concerts on July 7 called "Save Our Selves--The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis" that will focus on the threat of global warming. The concerts will feature top musicians, including Sheryl Crow, the Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lenny Kravitz and others. Gore's documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, has been nominated for an Oscar.

Will Gore announce that he's running aain for president? Stay tuned...
