Guess who's really behind the discrediting of Al Gore?

I think that Mr. Gore has some really good idea’s in his video, BUT the finger pointing and mud flinging really does need to stop. AMERICAN’s are too microwave focused, and have forgotten this was around way before Bush. Some simple homework in public newpapers and libraries will net a goldmine of information.

The Clinton Administration (over the objection of environmental groups) leased more Alaska lands than the previous two Administrations combined. In 1998, the Department of the Interior offered the oil industry 4 million acres of land within the Indiana National Petroleum Reserve for leasing – nearly double the acreage of the Arctic Refuge coastal plain. The industry bid more than $100 million for the leases and anticipates pumping more than 3 billion barrels of oil from fields in the area. The West Sak field on the North Slope is estimated to contain more than 20 billion barrels of heavy oil that has yet to be recovered. With improved technologies, experts at the Department of Energy believe much of this can be utilized in the years ahead. In short, it’s possible to increase Alaska oil and gas production without drilling in the only protected area on the Alaska’s North Slope – the last 5 percent off limits to development.

July 26, 1997 - the date when the US Senate voted against the proposed treaty 95-0. Not one Senator - not even Ted Kennedy - voted in favour. In Kyoto, Al Gore signed anyway, but that old fraud Clinton never bothered sending it to the Senate for ratification because he needed 67 votes and he knew he was 67 short. Mr Lean and his chums have had four years to get used to the idea that Kyoto’s dead, not because of one right-wing oil stooge but because of the entire American political establishment.

Bill Clinton sold the oil to the Chinese when he open up trade to jump start their industry which was his promise if elected. The Chinese funded his election. Not that this has been bad for the USA, many of our goods now come for China. Unfortunately, to fuel China’s industry, they need oil and coal and refuse to sign onto Kyoto which would cripple their industry. George Bush feels that if China should not sign on, why should the US, which does more than China and India. Now the argument is we are the number one polluter, but that is simply not the truth. Take the worst city in America and it does not compare to an industrial city in China. Days when you cannot go outside w/o a mask, where rivers are so polluted nothing lives and people still draw water to drink, bathe, grow crops, etc. Cities where you have to have permission from officials to travel and they decide when you can go or if you can go. Here we have the freedom to complain and if we gripe loud enough see changes. There, you have the right to die. China is changing, ever slowly, so slowly.

Al Gore has messed him self up.
