Ah there's nothing like the smell of karma in the morning! Those people that hate Al Gore for speaking up about global warming never stop trying to create a debate where there really isn't any to begin with. On and on they go, spinning anecdotal evidence to prove they're right while the burden of proof actually shows our planet heating up. Well they tried to get together this week to have a "townhall" meeting, but something got in the way.
From ThinkProgress:
This week, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) planned to have town hall meetings in Ft. Myers and West Palm Beach, FL. As the Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson notes, “AFP is a front group for the right-wing pollution company Koch Industries, with an agenda of attacking ‘global warming alarmism‘ and promoting increased offshore drilling.” In an ironic twist, AFP has canceled its meetings because of Tropical Storm Fay. From a message on the group’s website:
More on how global warming intensifies tropical storms here.Ft. Myers and West Palm Beach Town Hall Meetings Rescheduled
The August 19th Ft. Myers town hall and August 21st West Palm Beach town hall will be rescheduled as a result of Tropical Storm Fay. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Those pesky facts always get in the way of the deniers, but sometimes that isn't enough. Fossil fuel industries may be powerful thanks to their connections into government and their massive lobbying budgets (thanks to everyone who pays $4 a gallon or more) but there is nothing more impressive than the strength of mother nature. Especially so when we are collectively making her stronger.
