Most are just parroting what the corporate owned media tells them. First it wasn't happening, then it wasn't man made, now... it's all lies.

I have no doubt Al Gore will be remembered as a great American- he already is .
I rather think he'll be remembered for being the only twat capable of losing to the dumbest fuck ever to enter American politics.

"Duh, what'll I do now? I know, let's start an Armageddon scenario and see how that rolls. Could be a few bucks in it and it'll keep me occupied. You know how fucking dumb the average twat in the street is? Well, by definition half of them are even more stupid than that, so it might well fly. Folk like all that shit about flying asteroids and comets hitting us, lends a bit of drama to their miserable existence and gets them thinking. Problem is, it's an either or sort of situation with nothing in the middle and nothing we can do about that. Same with the super volcano thing. It's gotta be something that is happening slow like and we can do something about it which if we didn't would mean certain death but in a creeping, insidious way. They tried that ice age shit 20 years ago but no one believed in that crap when we had spells of great weather here and in Yerp. Yeah, it just got too damn hot ......too hot........too hot ....too hot. Hey, honey, I jest got a great idea. What d'ya think about this. Remember that shit about CFCs and the ozone layer 'n all. What about we say the world is getting hotter because of all the Co2 and pollution and if it don't stop we are all gonna die? Whaa? You think no one will believe me because I'm the dumb smuck who lost to that fucking Texan moron? Mmmmmm, maybe you're right. I need credibility, yeah, your right. I know, what about that guy at Caltech, he owes me a favour or two. I'll swing a few endowments his way and maybe he'll cook up a few figures for me. Yep, that'll do it. Maybe this'll get big and they'll think I'm a new prophet or sumpthin'. Mmmm...maybe......... I'm a....... God. Yeahh, fuck you Dubya, I'm coming outta the wilderness."
