A tale of two convictions.

A man named Noah warned the people of his day of a coming deluge, and he was mocked. A man named Al Gore warned the people of his day the seas would rise and flood hundreds of coastal cities, and he became wealthy and received the Nobel Prize. Noah preached a message of righteousness because of his faith. Al Gore preached "repent of your carbon emissions and you will be saved" because it made him rich. Both messages concerned catastrophic judgement, but Noah built an ark following through on his convictions. Al built a beachfront home, uses more energy, has a bigger carbon footprint, and eats more meat than a T Rex. Like all false prophets he didn't follow through on his convictions. Sorry Al, it's just "An Inconvenient Truth".
