I find the term "awareness" to be baseline offensive at this point. People think it means "education" when it really means "knowing just enough to act politically about it and no more". I find those whose goal is to "increase awareness" care about appearances and political correctness and not much else. The easiest way to annoy somebody who cares about "awareness" would be to give them contradictory facts. It's educational, and a matter of critical thinking to consider all sides. But they don't want to know about that.
I also find that Gore's previous hypocracy is not magically solved now that he has cleaned up his own house for the last year. The thirty years previous? Not so critical.
Nor is it critical to hold a global warming summit in Bali and to have everybody fly across the world in their Gulfstream personal jets to attend. We communicate right here on the net without really contributing to G.W. But no, everybody has to fly to a south pacific resort destination to figure it out. And I'll tellya, if they actually believe it's the biggest problem on the planet and going to seriously harm our way of life, nobody is flying to Bali. Is there man-caused warming, yes, and these fuckers caused it.
