Climate change most dangerous threat ever, says Gore
Former US vice-president Al Gore has told a Melbourne breakfast that climate change is both the most dangerous threat and the greatest opportunity that civilisation has faced.
Calling on community leaders to take a stand, Mr Gore said the projections of climate change due to rising greenhouse gas emissions had worsened through four reports by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, yet political leaders had so far failed to act.
"We can see that we are standing in front of a fork in the road. We can take one of two different directions," he said.
"We can say to the scientists, `we don't want to listen to you. We would prefer to seek out the one or two per cent of the naysayers who stand against this growing and building consensus'.
"If we continue on that path it leads to a catastrophic outcome. It is difficult to ignore that the cyclones are getting stronger, that the fires are getting bigger, that the sea level is rising, that the refugees are beginning to move from places they have long called home."

the cyclones are fewer, the fires are set by pychopaths who mainlined AIT, sea level rise hasn't, and the only refugees are from California, business' being squished by bone headed economic policies, invented by politicians who listened to Gore.
But none of that matters. You see, madness is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!
