Anyone else finding it ironic that global warming disciple is spending $300 million on print advertising, among other types of promotion?

Former Vice President Al Gore is starting a three-year $300 million publicity campaign to increase public awareness of climate change through ads in outlets like Men’s Health, Real Simple, Ebony, Scientific American, Wired, “American Idol” and “The Daily Show.”

The campaign is spearheaded by Gore’s group, the Alliance for Climate Protection, which is forming partnerships with groups like the Girls Scouts, the United Steelworkers union and the Audubon Society, hoping to mobilize some 10 million activists over the next three years.

Paper ads kill lots of trees.  Of course, it’ll probably be recycled paper so I’m sure Gore will get a pass.  Of course, one wonders what the carbon footprint of those recycling plants are.

Oh, and the participation of the Girl Scouts makes me want to stop buying cookies.

Here’s the ad:

Anyone else find it a bit insulting that they’re comparing global warming to the fight against the Nazis and the struggle for racial equality?  We don’t even know for sure that human activity is what’s causing rising global temperatures, and for anyone to conclude that we’re facing a threat anything near as vicious as racism or Nazism is out of their gourd.
