Al Gore first introduced us all to his stark views on global warming in 2006, with his groundbreaking documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Now, he's going to make sure we don't forget any of the lessons presented in that movie, thanks to a 24 hour-long reality show event, appropriately titled the Climate Reality Project.
The project will live-stream, and, according to the press release, will be based on "people all around the globe living with the impacts of climate change will connect the dots between recent extreme weather events—including floods, droughts and storms—and the man-made pollution that is changing our climate."
The show will be hitting up 24 time zones in mulitple languages, each segment covering a new location and/or issue.

So we are going to tax the air to make the weather colder? “What century was this?”, is the question history will be asking. If I still believed this comet hit of an emergency, I’d be marching in the streets warning the world but even the scientists are silent now, even as Obama never even mentioned the “crisis” in his last state of the union address. The myth of thousands of scientists is shown clearly as the scientists vastly outnumber the climate change protesters. Be happy. We have avoided a crisis. *Scientific “CONSENSUS” was NOT true and real planet lovers are happy about that fact, not disappointed. PROOF: It couldn’t have been consensus when every one of the “countless thousands” of scientists had their own different definition of climate “crisis”. It was a consultant’s w*et dream and we hasted the giant oil corporations, climate blame wasted billions on what could have gone to good social reform. Remember this: Scientists polluted the planet with their pesticides and chemicals in the first place don’t forget. I'm not the only former believer urging prosecutors to lay criminal chargers to the leading scientists and news editors for knowingly inciting this needless panic of CO2 climate crisis and REAL planet lovers don’t WANT this misery to have been real. Climate change wasn’t stewardship, it was a CO2 death threat to billions of children and a criminal exaggeration rationalized with political correctness on steroids. All the scientists studied effects of a crisis that never happened and called it consensus. This is a dark our for civilized humanity. Meanwhile, the UN and the entire SCIENCE world had allowed carbon trading to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 25 years of climate control instead of the obviously needed population control. I confess to being a believer for many years and I see now that my liberalism’s dark side embraced climate blame for its sacred cows failure, envy and misery. Climate Change was our Iraq War folks. We looked our kids square in the eyes and told them they wouldn’t have kids if they didn’t start turning the lights out more often. This was progressive and loving? No wonder Glen Beck and the other neocons make fun of us. We need to back off of the CO2 mistake and reverse course to lead responsible environmentalism with courage and optimism, not fear of the unknown like heartless fear mongers.
