2. Zero. It'll be by candlelight and VP Gore will make shadows on the wall
with his hands.

9. and it will still be more entertaining and informative than Fox News!
Apparently during one event, the sound for the Futurama cartoon went out, and he did the funny voices without missing a beat. My guess is that Gore could pull off the talk without the visual aids at all, since he knows the material so well and is passionate about it.

3.  My guess, a lot less:

than the damage inflicted on this planet by blowhards, deniers, corporate liars, and media whores who spent more time and expended more hot air bitching about his bill than caring about this planet.

5. Hopefully it won't get that far
if people really start listening to the warnings and do something about it.

7. I guess I'm a bit of a doomer. I don't think we'll be able to turn the
Titanic around at this late date. MAYBE, just maybe, we can shift her to the side a tiny bit.

I still think, BTW, that we as a society and civilization have a DUTY to do everything humanly possible to avert disaster.

12. I agree
And for us as a species not to fulfill that duty is a moral betrayal to those to come and this planet.

8. Good for the Miamians!
Gore's coming to Clinton, NY, at Hamilton College, on April 26th @ 7:30 and no reservations so I have to get there really early if I wanna get seat.
