Al Gore and his wife Tipper will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday, March 30 (the day before his birthday ;-)) to discuss climate skeptics, climate change, the election, and the launching of his organization The Alliance for Climate's Protection's 100 million dollar climate campaign.


From the link:

(CBS) Self-avowed "P.R. agent for the planet" Al Gore says those who still doubt that global warming is caused by man - among them, Vice President Dick Cheney - are acting like the fringe groups who think the 1969 moon landing never really happened, or who once believed the world is flat.

The former vice president and former presidential candidate talks to 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview to be broadcast this Sunday, March 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Confronted by Stahl with the fact some prominent people, including the nation’s vice president, are not convinced that global warming is man-made, Gore responds: "You're talking about Dick Cheney. I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat,” says Gore. "That demeans them a little bit, but it's not that far off," he tells Stahl.

Gore’s campaign to make the world more aware of man’s role in global warming won him the Nobel Peace Prize last year. He donated the $750,000 prize money to The Alliance for Climate Protection, the non-profit he started to help him on his quest. He and his wife, Tipper, tell Stahl they not only matched the Nobel money with their own, but they are also donating to the organization the significant profits from his book and Oscar-winning documentary film about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth." The funds will help The Alliance for Climate Protection execute a new $300 million ad campaign on global warming set to start next week.

Some of the ads will feature unlikely alliances to drive home the message that people of all stripes are concerned about global warming. These include the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Pat Robertson, Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks, and Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich.

3. Thanks for letting us know. That quote by Al was pretty funny.

I do indeed think Cheney believes the Earth is flat, he is so narrow minded.

4. I disagree with Al Gore about one thing.

There are a lot more Dick Cheneys out there than he realizes. People down here where I live think Al Gore is a joke and don't believe glpbal warming is really happening. This place is Southpark without the mountains and snow.

10. I believe that percent of the population

will only continue to wither in number either from drought or flood, but reality will inevitably hit home.

It takes a lot to undo the propaganda war that was waged against him for so long by the corporate media. If you were told every day, morning and night by your trusted news source that the man actually claimed to have invented the Internet, etc. etc. it would take a while to take him seriously again.

I believe in one sense it's easier emotionally not to believe him, because the consequences of what's happening are so huge and potentially devastating. I believe the people most likely to take him seriously are the scientists that know the truth, the young; who weren't exposed to the relentless propaganda war against his credibility and those individuals with critical minds, not afraid to seek the truth even if the truth is unpleasant.

Up until recently the Internet was about the only place to find the truth and ironically by championing opening the Internet up for the people, Al Gore helped create an opportunity for the people to save them selves from ignorance regarding global warming. So in that sense I believe he's on the forefront or "tip of the spear" as we used to say in the Marines for humanity to save it self twice.
