Gosh, is there anything it can’t do?
People send me stuff. I would not have believed this unless I saw it from Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, where I constantly wonder what sort of reality those people inhabit. See the yellow highlight.
Maybe the guy is being tongue in cheek, maybe he’s dead serious, it is hard to tell. But, this sort of messaging is probably something that resonates with the caliber of people who would buy into Gore’s version of reality in the first place.
With messagaging like this, I think my first take on it still holds: Al Gore’s ‘Reality Drop’ is a bomb – so let’s give him a ‘hockey stick

Gives a whole new (and loony) meaning to “The Day the Music Died.”
They should warn people to drop their grip on reality before they visit Reality Drop.
Not entirely sure what the problem is there, with the guy mentioning an interest in nature and music. Those are pretty damn common!
Or, with the benefit of a re-read, I’m guessing it’s his ludicrous implication that both are in imminent jeopardy. Yeah, I’m going with that.
You know .. at Live Aid, it was so hot that it made enjoying the music more difficult.
I did notice that at Woodstock, the rain really didn’t stop everybody from enjoying the drugs.
This guy really needs to change the name of his projest to something much more fitting.
The Climate Reality Awareness Project.
Then at least the acronym will let the people know what is dealt out there
It also makes walking more dangerous by melting floorwax. (sarc)
Perhaps Jason longs to be an Eloi.
As far as I recall, Mraz also travelled with Gore to Antarctica and came back and wrote a rather cringeworthy piece about it. He’s a Gore tool; as a musician without success probably pretty cheap to buy.
Mraz is not being tongue in cheek. He really is that much of an airhead. He is from here, so we are well aware of his shortcomings. Great singer – not too much left of the gray matter.
It certainly isn’t tongue-in-cheek, when He says He’s passionate about it.
Then again, sometimes His passion runs wild.
LOL @ur momisugly Mraz!
Seriously, if you want to pile up a list of “environmental” impacts, just start poking around at the music industry and entertainment industry.
Imagine the environmental impact of pressing, first vinyl albums, then CDs. The waste and damage from these things are amazing. Couple that with a distribution system worthy of food itself… truckloads, trainloads, boatloads of crap constantly shuffling product from Asia, from Europe, from everywhere.
And don’t think the digital revolution makes things any better. Between power generation, the environmental damage caused by generation after generation of ipods being discarded or breaking is legendary. These things are sold by the MILLION, so while one alone is not a big deal, the entire bunch of them IS a big deal.
We still have the problem of poster glut, t-shirts aplenty, and don’t even get me started on the excessive lifestyles pursued by the “stars” and their managers, hangers on, promoters, etc.
For ANYONE in the music industry to start yapping about environmental damage or “climate change” is like a dictionary definition of “hypocrisy”, and ignorance. The music industry is NOT ESSENTIAL. In any way. It’s completely driven by greed, and has nothing to do with a productive or advanced society.
That’s nothin’. Here in Ontario Climate Change apparently causes the snow plows not to meet standards sigh…..
“Transportation Minister Glen Murray insisted the province’s standards for clearing snow off highways are being met, and blamed climate change for making the problem more difficult to deal with.
“We maintain standards for any contractors who are delivering snow plowing services, and those standards haven’t changed and they’ve been maintained,” said Murray.
“We are going through a period of climate change and are getting very aggressive and intermittent snow, so the challenges are certainly greater than they were before.”

In the TV series the A-Team, this would be the place where Mr. T looks at Jason Mraz and says “Shut up, Fool!”
I saw a news report that people are taking the scare of global warming, climate change and going ‘Green’ less seriously. The corrupt researchers, politicians and former politicians who have positioned themselves to have research continuously funded and/or to sell junk bonds called carbon credits now see their dreams of great wealth begin to slip away. They are now begining to panic and will become more dangerous or they could go ‘nuts’.
Love his music
Shame about his othe passions

Just laughed a little too loud at work.
Is there a drug we can put these guys on to bring them back to reality and the real world?
Colder weather was rumored to be better for Italian violin makers a few hundred years ago. I wonder if Al is looking for the next Stradivarius. Just think, a couple of votes and it could have been President Gore, instead of the flim flam man enriching himself by fleecing the gullible.
“We are going through a period of climate change and are getting very aggressive and intermittent snow”
Climate change makes snowflakes mean and fitful!
Lord, please, please stop Jason Mraz from making more music! For the climate, or whatever reason you need…
You all act surprised. He did write 93 million miles for the climate reality project.
Watts, you’re brave. Hating on Mraz is sure to mean a woman won’t touch you.
Weird. Look at their Twitter page where activity seemed to have ground to a halt around Nov 15 (thus the need for WUWT’s Nov 30 ‘hockey stick’ push for them), meanwhile just 6 hours ago they announce, “Introducing @RealityDrop, an exciting new tool that will help us spread truth & destroy denial … ” https://twitter.com/RealityDrop
WTF indeed, here on the wet coast we occasionally get snow but you guys get ‘aggressive” snow, does it come at you with a bat? scream obscenities? global warming is terrifying……cue the music.
Jason Mraz is a musician, so of course he knows the truth about everything, right? It’s narcissism unplugged!
In that Climate Reality letter Jason Mraz writes, concerning climate change; “This is the REAL information from scientists’ decades of research, not government or corporations.”
Huh? What? So where does Mr. Mraz think Al Gore came from? The heavens? Or, maybe someplace hotter and lower (which might explain his aversion to warmth)? Now, much as I’d love to speculate on the latter the fact is he come from…government? And, Mr. Mraz, precisely what funded those decades worth of research the climate scientists so selflessly conducted? Did they use their own money? Or, maybe, more likely, the taxpayers’?
