Al Gore’s Blog

Carbon dioxide, you just got served!

By Al Gore

Bio & Blog

Two noble professions are joining forces. Lawyers and environmentalists have teamed up to stick it to the Man. It’s like we used to say in the 60’s, never trust anyone over 30 parts per trillion of methyl chloroform!

Eighteen U.S. states are suing the EPA to force action on global warming. Let’s hope this lawsuit turns out better than Bush v. Gore. Otherwise I’ll have to grow a beard and re-open that Arby’s in my guest house. However, if things go according to plan, this will open the floodgates, metaphorically speaking.
 
So I’ve got a few class-action lawsuits up my sleeve:
 
---Penguin v. Iceberg  This is a variation on the old slip-and-fall case. The powerful iceberg lobby has deep pockets since winning that defamation settlement against the Titanic movie.
 
---People v. Sun  Looks like the free-ride is over for that oppressive ball of gas.
 
---Grass v. Mower  Millions of innocent grass blades are sliced in half each day so that ruthless corporations like Yardman and Cub Cadet can extend their global reign.
 
If you feel you’ve been wronged or injured by the growing climate crisis, give me a call at 1-800-HOT-BUCK.

John Edwards:

Albert, I'd love to be part of the legal team on these cases -- even if it's just consulting counsel or something. They're very strong cases indeed. And very important that we win them. Who am I kidding? I just love suing anything and anyone!!!

Christopher Walken:

I tend to suffer from painful sunburns on my scrotum. Can I be lead plaintiff?

Al Gore:

John, I'm glad you asked. I have a case for you: America v. America. (You consider me in the good America, right?)

Christopher, you better get healed up, I hear you're hosting SNL this weekend. We'll talk after that. I have to make sure you don't finally snap on live TV. That could hurt our cause.
