“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”
As yd expect,fark offered reasoned debate and rebuttals:
Al Gore is a lying effeminate pedantic tree-hugging lisping misogynist hectoring overstuffed self-absorbed grandiose condescending thieving hypocritical limp-wristed greasy dictatorial masseuse-fondling snotnosed pompous douchenozzle.On the other hand, he talked trash about Obama today. So he's got that going for him. Which is nice.
He doesn't have to live in a cave.
Take Ed Begley, Jr. He's got a ton of money, lives in a modest home, owns a hybrid car but takes public transportation nearly everywhere and modded his home to make it as energy and water efficient as possible.
The man practices what he preaches.
Exactly. If Ed Begley has something to say about the environment, I listen. If Al Gore spouts off, all I can hear is "Do as I say, not as I do."
Even Gore looks better than John Travolta, though -- the guy has three jumbo jets parked in his freaking driveway and he wants to lecture the rest of us about our carbon footprint?
And how many kids did Al have? 4
That's doubling the population every generation.
Shut the fark up Al.
How could billions of Chinamen be wrong?
