Via Hollywood Reporter:
Al Gore, one of Hollywood’s favorite sons because of his commitment to the environment, rocked a large crowd in Beverly Hills on Tuesday with an impassioned plea to solve the “climate change crisis,” part of which is getting media right. […]
But he was most animated, his voice pitching higher and lower and the volume steadily increasing, when he spoke of global warming.
“This is for real. It is not made up. The scientists are not in a conspiracy to lie to us,” Gore nearly shouted.
“The generation of people alive today will be held accountable,” he said. “Our children and grandchildren … if they exist in a world that has been devastated by these consequences that have been predicted and are beginning to unfold — they would be well justified in asking of us: ‘What in the hell were you thinking? And what in the hell were you doing? And why were you so willfully blind of what was happening on your watch?'”[T]he former vice president also took some non-partisan shots at lobbyists and some partisan shots at the Iraq War, Republicans, and in particular the Tea Party, which he said, “has a lot of astro-turf in it,” adding that he thinks “a lot of good people” have been lead astray by the movement.
