In comments regarding that ruling, he pointed out that the “apocalyptical vision” presented in the movie was politically partisan, and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change: “It is built around the charismatic presence of the ex-vice president Al Gore, whose crusade is to persuade the world of the dangers of climate change caused by global warming…It is now common ground that this is not simply a science film- although it is based substantially on science research and opinion, but it is [clearly] a political film.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830215079442714638.post-52143310895781606142017-11-24T20:38:50.995+01:002017-11-24T20:38:50.995+01:00Tribal member Dee Dominquez lamented: “They are go...Tribal member Dee Dominquez lamented: “They are going to take last memories of our people, the last evidence that we once inhabited this land and put it in a box and ship it to a museum.” She described the executives as “cold” and “insensitive”, unwilling to even consider slant drilling that could save pieces of the tribe’s history for future generations. “We’ve never denied them taking the oil. We are not asking for land. We are not asking for royalties. We are just asking them to leave something to show that we were here.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830215079442714638.post-4989195531929858952017-11-24T20:33:49.726+01:002017-11-24T20:33:49.726+01:00Vice President Gore recommended that Elk Hills be ...Vice President Gore recommended that Elk Hills be sold as part of his “Reinventing Government” National Performance Review program. Tony Coelho, his confident, Democrat super-fundraiser, and later, campaign manager, served on the board of directors of ICF Kaiser International, the private company hired to assess the sale’s environmental consequences. As Peter Eisner, director of the Center for Public Integrity, observed: “I can’t say that I’ve ever seen an environmental assessment prepared so quickly.” And, perhaps not entirely surprisingly, it worked out in Occidental’s favor. They purchased the 47,000 acres of land from the federal government for $3.7 billion, tripling the company’s oil reserves.<br /><br />https://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2013/05/21/the-greening-of-gores-bank-account/#33bc554b39d6<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
