There are people who say, "god is in complete control of everything that happens, and if the earth is getting warmer, then maybe god intends that." well, no. god intends for us to take responsibility for how we treat god's creation, and if we choose to use the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet as an open sewer for 110-million tons of global-warming pollution every day, the consequences are attributable to us. and if you are a believer, as i am, i think god intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.

More From Al Gore

If there is no cost to be paid for the indiscriminate dumping of pollution into the earth's atmosphere, then it should be a surprise to no one that today we will dump another 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet. ... we have to [act] this year, not next year. mother nature does not do bailouts.
Mother Years Atmosphere
We need to put a price on carbon, and that's what cap-and-trade does and that's also what a co2 tax does. as long as our current valuation in the marketplace tells us every minute of every day that it's perfectly all right to dump 90 million tons of global warming into the thin atmosphere surrounding the planet every 24 hours as if that atmosphere is an open sewer, then the individual actions are not going to solve the problem.
Long Atmosphere Doe
Every day we put another 110 million tons of global warming pollution into the sky as if it's an open sewer, and it's still building up. and the scientists tell us it's a race against time. we've stabilized emissions globally now for the last three years, but they need to start coming down quickly. we've got the momentum, we've got the wind in our sails, we're gonna win this.
Winning Global Warming Building
We're still putting 110 million tons of man-made global pollution into the air every single day as if the sky is an open sewer. more than 90% of the extra heat energy is going into the oceans, and that's why superstorm sandy was so much more destructive, that's why the ice is melting more rapidly, that's why the water cycle is being disrupted and we get a lot more water vapor coming from the oceans into the sky, and that's why we get these enormous downpours and big floods. they happen all the time. every night on the tv news is like a nature hike through the book of revelation.
Ocean Book Night
Today we're dumping 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, i will feel that i have failed.
Today Environmental Pollution Air Quality
I'm not a global warming believer. i'm not a global warming denier. i'm a global warming agnostic who believes instinctively that it can't be very good to pump lots of co2 into the atmosphere but is equally convinced that those who presume to know exactly where that leads are talking through their hats.

I think it makes sense to believe in god, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, i don't know.
Believe Thinking Decision
Very few people believe in the devil these days, which suits the devil very well. he is always helping to circulate the news of his own death. the essence of god is existence, and he defines himself as: 'i am who am.' the essence of the devil is the lie, and he defines himself as: 'i am who am not.' satan has very little trouble with those who do not believe in him; they are already on his side.
Lying Believe Essence
