Global Warming, Al Gore Not Getting Enough Attention

Despite the fact that he's super. duper. serial about it, Al Gore is frustrated that the world just isn't paying enough attention to global warming.

(HT: Drudge)

[G]ore struggles to get his message across when TV networks are donating the majority of their airtime to American socialite Paris Hilton’s stint behind bars.

In an exclusive Sun interview, Mr Gore said: “The G8 have been meeting in Germany and the United States is throwing a monkey wrench in the efforts to get a consensus.

The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton. We have to ask ourselves what is going on here?”

Indeed, if Technorati is any indication, global warming is only the 6th hottest topic these days (four spots behind Paris).  Thank God for that awareness-raising concert series this summer, during which a third of humanity will focus their gaze on their jet-setting, carbon-spewing, pop iconic betters.  With an audience of 2 billion, the overdue focus that the intercontinental spectacle will lend to Earth's pending doom should more than make up for the intercontinental piles of trash that will comprise the wake of this self-indulgent, self-congratulatory global movement.

By the time the garbage is hauled away, the grass resodded and the private jets hangared, maybe - just maybe - people will finally notice Al Gore and the fact that he cares about the environment.
