globalwarming awareness2007 is surely a joke. It is April 2 in Minnesota, and it is snowing. Yet, it did not snow all through the awareness2007 globalwarming winter, which is like nuclear winter only less radioactive and with less snow.

My cable TV has more snow than Minnesota did during this globalwarming winter.

Will 2007 be the hottest year ever? Globalwarming aware people should start their diets now to be slender enough to wear revealing fashions during the heat of summer, and avoid use of globalwarming causing air conditioning and other causes of pollution in 2007.

Globalwarming awareness2007 just isn’t the same since Anna Nicole Smith’s death.

Globalwarming may cause famine because it will harm crops and their reaction to climate, but it seems alternative energy may have similar impact.

C|Net reports that use of things like beans to make alternative energy will drive up the costs of these staples. Awareness is needed that the food we use for energy can be used to energize both the bodies of PEOPLE and the bodies of MACHINES, like furnaces and cars and cell phone towers.

Awareness of globalwarming in 2007 must include awareness of globalwarming’s impact on food production — both via climate change, and via redistribution of food resources to power the expensive and exotic toys of the haves, while have-nots starve quietly.

A Tennessee blogger who is no fan of Al Gore, yesterday called the Globalwarming Awareness2007 team ‘losers.’

We are entertained.

On the plus side, the individual says that Mother Earth loses when energy is overused. However, it appears this person is one of those people too short-sighted to look into the history and background of the organization slinging mud against Mr. Gore.

There’s not really a think-tank on any side of the political debate that can be trusted. There’s always funding issues. Who’s paying for what? This is even true of science. Globalwarming awareness2007 warns you to always look at the dollars behind the dogma.

In the wake of the Oscar nod for An Inconvenient Truth, conservative critics of the globalwarming awareness2007 superhero have taken to attacking his energy use in blogs. They are relying on a press release by the ‘Tennessee Center for Policy Research.’

It’s even been picked up in the ‘legitimate’ press, such as the Detroit Free Press. However, as journalists, they researched further to find that Al Gore purchases ‘green’ energy credits and carbon-emissions offset credits. He and his wife drive a hybrid SUV.

The basis of much of the criticism is the cost of the Gore’s energy bills. However, part of the expense is allegedly that they are using alternative energy, which may be costing them more.

Nonetheless, it is hard to debate that Al’s globetrotting in the name of globalwarming awareness uses a lot of energy — no doubt more than his three homes do. His homes are also quite large, especially relative to the amount of time he spends in them, and the fact that as former Vice President he undoubtedly has an awesomely powerful security system sucking down juice.

Criticism of Gore’s own energy use is nothing new. USA Today was criticizing his energy use in August 2006. The current flurry of activity is mostly a result of the new attention on An Inconvenient Truth, and continuing angst that the Democratic party retook Congress and can take steps to legislate new energy rules and ideas.

Hopefully, more of the honest media will also look into the background on the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. While they claim to be non-partisan, they are big believers in free-market solutions for social and policy issues. Speakers from the group are popular speakers at Libertarian Party of Tennessee meteings. Like many think-tanks (both conservative and liberal), here’s betting they have a lot of dirty laundry if only someone sniffs.

It’s important for people within the globalwarming awareness2007 movement to consider if energy usage is purposeful or proper, and match their actions to their outspoken advocacy for globalwarming awareness. It is almost undoubtedly true that Al Gore’s electric bills aren’t a complete picture of his energy use, and his other energy use is probably also higher than most Americans. However, he seems to be doing more with the energy he’s using. Perhaps a fair trade? Only time and globalwarming will tell; in 2007, we cannot have awareness of the long-term impact of his outspoken advocacy for globalwarming awareness versus his present energy use.

In her continuing efforts to be an environmentally attractive candidate for the globalwarming aware crowd, Hillary Clinton toured a clean-coal facility in upstate New York.

As part of her tour, she pledged to wean the US from foreign oil dependency, and as Senator will be introducing a bill in the near future — doubtless in as showy a fashion as possible.

She touts clean coal technology, among others, to combat globalwarming. The US has a lot of coal, although mining coal is frequently dangerous and has long-term health hazards for miners.

Clinton called for more efficient use of electricity and natural gas, expanded use of wind and solar energy, new biofuels, and expansion of technology such as that being refined at Huntley that removes and captures toxic emissions from coal.

These alternative energy sources will help expand fuel options throughout the world, and Ms. Clinton’s campaign appearances will no doubt further the cause of globalwarming awareness2007. She is a polarizing figure, and adopting energy independence and alternative fuel production in her platform for 2008 president will increase awareness of these globalwarming issues.

Rumor has it that Britney’s new, bald look is a response to globalwarming awareness2007.

Going with a bald look is a great way for people to embrace the cause of globalwarming awareness2007. Consider the many advantages of baldness:

• shorter showers because you can just rub your head clean, using less energy to heat water to clean your head
• easier cooling mechanism as global temperatures rise due to globalwarming
• when people ask why you went with a bald look, you can preach the message of globalwarming awareness2007

So, take a look to Britney for inspiration and get with globalwarming awareness2007!
