Al Gore: Global Warming & The Sad Part Of Celebrity
-------------------------

Celebrities are like other people. They strive to find someone to relate to and desire to be close to. They want celebrities. Problem is they are celebrities, so no one in their industry, and that includes all entertainment related fields, can come close to qualifying. So they gravitate towards politicians. That results in being caught up in the parties of those politicians. It also results in near Elvis pandemonium when one of their most recent celebrities does what they do. He makes a movie.
It doesn't matter that the benefit of the doubt in science either always rests with skepticism or it falls for any lie. Celebrities love environmental celebrities, especially if they had been a politician celebrity before. Poor Ralph Nader did that the other way around and has not been able to capitalize on his celebrity with celebrities since they found the real deal.
The Clintons were celebrities to celebrities. That guy who held the normally quiet Vice President's office keys shined in their shadow. When the Clintons were out of the way, Good ol' Al Gore wasn't hidden anymore and his celebrity broke forth in a firestorm of emotions that he himself can still to this day, not contain.
To the Oscars goes Al and to their feet rose the crowd of people jaded by celebrity and literally awestruck at the height they had reached to actually be physically seeing their movie-maker, political uber-celeb.
The hype around global warming became the 'thing' to be 'in step with' (a term good robots should remember as it is all they ever do) and it became what the intelligencia keep telling us reality is. It became perception. That perception became reality to those celebrities and the big lie became the big fact and their leader is uber-celeb.
Al Gore: Global Warming & The Sad Part Of Celebrity
On those coat-tails; political wanna-be, horribly disastrous morning radio personality (not a judgment call, a ratings fact) Al Franken thinks he is a celebrity worthy of the most of Hollywood. Entering the race for Senator leaves him in the position of finding out how wrong a personal reality can be, when it steps up to the plate with the Real McCoy. Reaching up for a party's hero's coattails will not work well for anyone other than whomever it was who was behind Bill Clinton.
I kinda feel sorry for Al Gore. Being a celebrity should not bring one sadness. It does, in many cases and leaves its mark with suicides, drug abuse problems and sanity issues.
There are two reasons Al Gore is in the position he is in.
The first is not the most important, it is just the cause of the brakes applied to Al Gore for eight long years. The Clintons.
Bill Clinton is a paramount political celebrity. He commands attention by his demeanor, he is aloof by his behavior. Al Gore was the understudy and shoe shiner of the President of The United States.
When he ventured out to regain the focus he had before he became a victim of Clinton's shadow he had become accustomed to the condition that put him in that condition. He was vulnerable for anyone or anything that would provide a focus for him in a political manner. He was so vulnerable that he devoted his every effort to the cause. It does not matter to those people if science arrives at the lack of a determination. If the one side of a determination (ie: disagreement without supporting empirical evidence from either side to make a case with) is selected as the winner by people who are not privy to even the potential of finding evidence, then the whole point of any argument of the topic is lost to absurdity.
The second and most important is that Al Gore thinks the way he does. He made a ‘movie' because that is what he sees in his head. His reality is the image he lives with every moment of his life and it has been forged from eight long years of being Elvis' shoe-shine boy.
A theory to good scientists is a postulated potential to explain a phenomena of some sort. A theory to a celebrity or a politician or a news reporter (wannabe celebrity) (or a science celebrity, who being that at all has destroyed his credibility) means, it is the explanation.
Inductive reasoning is required to reach that conclusion. It doesn't matter if you are a proponent of global warming or a distract-or of the theory, the simple fact that the scientific method requires a scientist to be skeptical of any theory, renders the theory of human caused global warming to be no where near: the shadow of a doubt. Science is the same criteria as criminal court in this country. An equation can only hold one correct answer. If you have more than one answer, one or both are incorrect, but until you know (a theory is proven wrong or right to become a 'law of the universe') both incorrect answers are deemed suspect equally. If you conduct science any other way you no longer have science. You are back to mixing elements to make gold.
A theory to a person who is influenced by the motive to become somehow valuable, takes on a whole different result when it is simply judged against the criteria of whether it fulfills the believer or not. And that applies from politicians turned superstar celebrity to clone cloners of cloned clones. And everything in between.
Al Gore has then become a robot leading a band of robots to the tune of the loudest noise. That is something kings and tyrants and dictators have pounced upon in every century of human existence. A ready to rule serfdom. They call them useful idiots.
Do I know that man caused global warming is fact and I should shed civilization to save the rock we live on? Absolutely not. I also do not know if I should accept that. I cannot say it is wrong anymore than I can say it is right. It is not a universal law. It is a theory that sadly requires weak politicians and the celebrity hungry to buy into.
