Be afraid. Be very afraid. Al Gore's shock troops are on the march:
Those selected to gather at the Hilton Nashville Downtown last week included teachers, doctors, a meteorologist, ministers, Wal-Mart employees, actress Cameron Diaz, architects, retirees, veterans and financiers.
This is Gore's Climate Project, training 1,000 "presenters," who shall disperse among the population to spread the gospel. So expect a couple of Wal-Mart employees on your doorstep any day now.
Less likely to appear is Cameron Diaz. This is just one of her many interests. Here's some of what she had to say to Oprah Winfrey before the 2004 presidential election:
We have a voice now, and we’re not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies if you think that rape should be legal, then don’t vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote . . .
I had no idea that Bill Clinton was running, but there you go.
So you see that she's not one of those one-dimensional Hollywood bimbos. There are at least two dimensions there. Who knows how many other wondrous thoughts bubble through the mind of Ms. Diaz?

If the issue is so important to Canadians, then we don't have to wait for the government to implement the Kyoto Accord - a group of bright young entrepeneurs could implement it privately right now. Why not?
There are only two options with Kyoto, we either use government to shut down 30% of the economy causing massive unemployment, or we buy Carbon Credits from China, or Russia or India.
The first option is off the table completely, the second is ridiculous - but a private Canadian 'Kyoto Foundation' where people who are clueless about science but want to feel like they're saving the planet could pool their money to buy these hot air credits - that's a moneymaker!

I was thinking exactly along those lines.
Send me your money and I will invest it in carbon-reducing activities.
By this I mean that I will use it to buy beer.
But I will walk to the local liquor store instead of driving. Saving little children and the planet with one stroke.
I feel so virtuous.

Three years ago Gore spoke about global warming in NYC on one of the coldest days of the year. Now he has this event in Nashville while much of the country is covered in ice. Gore hasn't changed my opinion on climate change but he has increased my faith that there is a God and He has a sense of humor.

Oh, and a karaoke box!

I don't know - I have always thought that Cameron D. is more than one-dimensional ;-)
