People would have taken it more seriously. Having Al Gore from South Park announce it is like having Jeb Bush announce it.

Yeah. A little. He wasn't wrong though.

90's school teachers often told us how our grandchildren would be paying for it... & guess what, we didn't even make it that far.

Wasn't Al Gore's depiction on South Park a response to his talking about global warming? The chuds making that show would've mocked it no matter what?

Edit: yes, ManBearPig episode came out in 4/26/06 and was Al Gore's first depiction outside of a brief clip of him in the white house for a Clinton joke. His movie An Inconvenient Truth came out 5/24/06. They apparently did the episode before even watching the movie.

This topic is making several logical leaps. It's assuming that if Al Gore hadn't made the movie An Inconvenient Truth, then someone else who is more charismatic would have made something else that got as much attention.

I see no evidence of this. It could just as well have been no one would have raised awareness as much as him. Or maybe someone else like Michael Moore would have made a big documentary about global warming but it would have been obnoxious and/or filled with sloppy mistakes and misinformation.

He made a positive difference in public awareness. To say that we'd have been better off if he'd just sat back and done nothing just because he's not the most charismatic guy in the world... that's ridiculous.

A consequence of conservative Christians trying to devalue all science.
