Happy Earth Day, you planet-killing bastards!

By Al Gore

Bio & Blog

Well, it’s Earth Day, and normally I’d celebrate by wearing a body suit made of bird seed and letting the robins and finches freely explore the peaks and valleys of Planet Gore. But this is no time for the joys of man/bird love! 

As I recently announced, the climate crisis has not improved since the release of An Inconvenient Truth. What if I just gave up like you slackers? Instead of getting carpal tunnel syndrome by clicking through slides all day, I could be like you and save my right hand for manual pleasure.

But Earth Day can also be a time for new life. It’s like Easter without all the zombie imagery. So, I’ve decided to re-double my efforts by releasing the director’s cut of my film, including the footage of me riding a polar bear through the hallways of Exxon-Mobile while reading "Walden" through a megaphone. It's time we started seeing polar bears as the transportation of the future. They're pretty fast and totally carbon neutral. Buy the director's cut of An Inconvenient Truth and learn how to convert your vehicle to polar-powered.

Gordon Ramsay:

Hey Al, is that an Emperor penguin or a Antarctic Chinstrap that those polar bears are roasting? It makes a huge difference in how you want to season, and obviously, for wine pairings.

Bjork:

I think every planet should get its own day. But not Jupiter -- We should not reward that evil red spot.

Thom Yorke:

I find this idea similar to my Penny Furthing post (link below). Though maybe they are perfect compliments for colder climates. Nevertheless, I think we should co-write some posts. We can alternate words!

I've been burning Algore effigies all day. It's thirsty work and I need a beer.
