GORE: CIGARETTE SMOKING 'SIGNIFICANT' CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL WARMING

Fri Sep 29 2006 09:04:05 ET

 

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"

 

Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."

 

Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea.

 

"The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said. After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore.

 

Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.

What about politicians' "hot air"??:rolleyes:

Gore is insane.

It does contribute to global warming, but I wouldn't say it's anything near significant. I mean, there are millions more cars than cigarettes...

Cows contribute more to global warming then Cigs do.

 

But hey, who gives a damn. we cant stop it or affect it. The only people who really do are socialist.

I'm not sure about smoking affecting the atmosphere.

 

The tobacco industry is HUGE, there's no way smoking would ever be totally banned and there'll always be someone who wants to smoke.

 

That had nothing to do with the thread but what the hey.

And it's not "Global Warming" it's climate change and we are being fooled.

Gareth, do you believe ANYthing accepted in the world? honest quesiton, not being sarcastic. It just seems like for EVERY event in the world past and present, there is a conspiracy theory...that only YOU and the rest of the smart people in the world know, yet everyone else is so dumb that they are just being blindly fooled

And it's not "Global Warming" it's climate change and we are being fooled.

 

He's right on this issue.

Cows contribute more to global warming then Cigs do.

thats because beef is one the major product of export for this country.... we would never do out the cows.

We have no need to. They arent doing any damage. The only damage cigs do are to the people smoking them and the people that may be around them. I'm sure natural forrest fires cause more smoke then them.

Well if you believe we can have an affect on global warming as some do and that cigs can, cow's release alot of methane more then humans, thus they are causing global warming more then cigs.
