http://atrandom.com/the-future/ https://twitter.com/algore From the former vice president and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes An Inconvenient Truth for everything—a frank and clear-eyed assessment of six critical drivers of global change in the decades to come. Ours is a time of revolutionary change that has no precedent in history. With the same passion he brought to the challenge of climate change, and with his decades of experience on the front lines of global policy, Al Gore surveys our planet's beclouded horizon and offers a sober, learned, and ultimately hopeful forecast in the visionary tradition of Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and John Naisbitt's Megatrends. In The Future, Gore identifies the emerging forces that are reshaping our world: • Ever-increasing economic globalization has led to the emergence of what he labels "Earth Inc."—an integrated holistic entity with a new and different relationship to capital, labor, consumer markets, and national governments than in the past. • The worldwide digital communications, Internet, and computer revolutions have led to the emergence of "the Global Mind," which links the thoughts and feelings of billions of people and connects intelligent machines, robots, ubiquitous sensors, and databases. • The balance of global political, economic, and military power is shifting more profoundly than at any time in the last five hundred years—from a U.S.-centered system to one with multiple emerging centers of power, from nation-states to private actors, and from political systems to markets. • A deeply flawed economic compass is leading us to unsustainable growth in consumption, pollution flows, and depletion of the planet's strategic resources of topsoil, freshwater, and living species. • Genomic, biotechnology, neuroscience, and life sciences revolutions are radically transforming the fields of medicine, agriculture, and molecular science—and are putting control of evolution in human hands. • There has been a radical disruption of the relationship between human beings and the earth's ecosystems, along with the beginning of a revolutionary transformation of energy systems, agriculture, transportation, and construction worldwide. From his earliest days in public life, Al Gore has been warning us of the promise and peril of emergent truths—no matter how "inconvenient" they may seem to be. As absorbing as it is visionary, The Future is a map of the world to come, from a man who has looked ahead before and been proven all too right.

A shame that we didn't elect this guy when we had a chance to. Gore is a true polymath who would have made a difference in the course of world history. These type of people don't run for office much.

This theory is as fake as a 3 dollar bill. As a matter of fact, Al Gore is a "reactionist" and his ideas are based on regression. In a world where the American economy goes from bad to worse, spreading this type of lie is a small tool for recovery.

now we have a stalmate with the assnage situation in the equadoran embassy in england he cant leave they cant go in

he was elected in the popular vote and the electoral vote but the republican supreme court took it away from him there were a couple of more things he could have done legal mauvering wise [ alls fair in love and war and legal manuvering ] but the stalmate was hurting the economy so he conceded defeat that was admirable if jill stein was elected president id be secretary of state skull and bones is antisemetic anti native american indian and homosexual

Hey people, check out Peter Joseph's "Culture in Decline"

Too bad Al Gore doesn't practice what he preaches. He need to live in a smaller house and conserve the energy the he uses. How about giving a tax breaks to those companies who have outsourced job to bring them back and make America a financially secure country. Why does he think it's a good idea to outsource taking away American's ability to support themselves. Oh, I know, because it doesn't benefit him. He can take this book and put it where the sun doesn't shine.

WHY WEREN'T YOU ELECTED PRESIDENT?

I hope Al Gore remains supportive of Thorium as a fuel source. I would like him and his institute to visit Thorium Energy Alliance web site to learn about Molten Salt Reactors and other Uses for THORIUM.

Have you seen Al Gore lately? The dude must be spending all the money he makes on donuts, triple cheese burgers and double fudge brownie sundaes. Forget Manbearpig, Al just going for pig.
