Is Al Gore Hurting The Green Movement?

April 29, 2009No Comments

Al Gore has certainly managed to polarize the nation in the past few years. The issue of global warming and climate change is something very real. But a lot of folks in the conservative movement folks are using Al Gore as a target to undermine the merits of this movement. Folks such as Newt Gingrich have dismissed the issue of climate change as a liberal propoganda to get more taxes out of small and big businesses. It’s true that there will be some costs for going green in this country, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try our best to move forward. The climate is changing fast and regardless of which camp you are in, there is no question that we need to avoid harming where we live — planet Earth.

Newt, at some point we are going to get to that point of no return. We may have already passed it. Are there people who’ll make money out of this issue? No doubt! But that’s the case with any movement. That doesn’t mean we should keep harming our earth.

Which side are you on?
