An Inconvenient Truth just won an Oscar. In the thank you speech it was stated that Al Gore had been working to get this message out for thirty years. Thirty years ago was 1977. In the 70s the world was in panic over the coming ice age after having some of the most extreme winters on record. Tell me, how was Al Gore prophetic enough to know that 30 years later speaking out about global warming would be a great political move? Oh wait, it's because he invented the internet isn't it?
