The White House has a considerable record of charges that it attempted to edit or censor scientific information to conform with political goals.

Congratulate Al Gore on the Nobel Peace Prize

Target: Al Gore
Sponsor: Care2

(www.care2.com)

Signatures: 24,954
Goal: 100,000
Deadline: Ongoing...

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Al Gore and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their work to raise awareness about the threat of global warming.

With his passion and hard work, Al Gore has demonstrated that committed citizens can make a difference. He has inspired millions to stand together against one of the biggest challenges of our time.

This year's Nobel selection sends a strong message that to achieve peace we need to live in harmony with one another and with the environment. By stopping the destructive effects of global warming, we are not only preventing future conflicts ignited by lack of resources, but we are also fighting for our own survival.

Please take a few minutes to sign our petition to say "Congratulations!" to Al Gore for this remarkable achievement and urge him to continue his critical work to fight global warming!

Science's Worst Enemy:

This article shows that science is being corrupted by big pharma and others to conceal negative effects in the name of profits.

We would be so much farther down the road in solving this Climate cris if it was not for the manipulation of scientists, etc. Manipulating the public has always been a fact, but now we have Mass-manipulation due to Mass-media, an unrelenting and powerful tool of the powers that be.

"The vested interests - if we explain the situation by their influence - can only get the public to act as they wish by manipulating public opinion, by playing either uponthe public's indifference, confusions, prejudices, pugnacities or fears. And the only way in which the power of the interests can be undermined and their maneuvers defeated is by bringing home to the public the danger of its indifference, the absurdity of its prejudices, or the hollowness of its fears; by showing that it is indifferent to danger where real danger exists; frightened by dangers which are nonexistent." Sir Norman Angell 1872 - 1967

Thx for the post Mari!!

Let's be realistic. Al Gore said the biggest threat to the planet is not the Greenhouse Effect - it's simply growth and development. He said if we do nothing else, save the tropical rain forests. As a write this, population is increasing, resulting in more demand for resources.

I believe in family planning. I have no children and plan on one child and adoption.

Politicians in general are owned by BB and their lobbyists. A Fact of Life. They sell their souls for Money and Power. They couldn't possibly believe in God! If they did, they wouldn't dare lie, cheat, steal and murder the way they do. I don't believe they live as they do and count on getting forgiveness on their death beds. They simply don't believe God could exist and allow them and their kind to get away with their sins generation after generation. Most of the elite in this country come from a long line of non-believers who are taught and shown from childhood that 'the end justifies the means'. and is the only sensible way to go. They may talk the talk but they Never walk the walk.They live like little tin gods on this Planet,. but they're in for an eternity of 'paying up'. Giving us 'free will' does not grant a pass for deliberate disobedience and misbehavior! My opinion....

Melva, I agree: boycott! Boycott corporations. Support small business. Barter and avoid money. And, go into business yourself and put the corporations out of business. Vote the bastards out who take bribes!

Global Exchange is having a Big Box store boycott on Nov. 17th. http://intldayofaction.bbc.wikispaces.net/DayOfActionActivities
