The Turning Point: New Hope for the Climate

The Turning Point: New Hope for the Climate It's time to accelerate the shift toward a low-carbon future by AL GORE JUNE 18, 2014 In the struggle to solve the climate crisis, a powerful, largely unnoticed shift is taking place. The forward journey for human civilization will be difficult and dangerous, but it is now clear that we will ultimately prevail. The only question is how quickly we can accelerate and complete the transition to a low-carbon civilization. There will be many times in the decades ahead when we will have to take care to guard against despair, lest it become another form of denial, paralyzing action. It is true that we have waited too long to avoid some serious damage to the planetary ecosystem – some of it, unfortunately, irreversible. Yet the truly catastrophic damages that have the potential for ending civilization as we know it can still – almost certainly – be avoided. Moreover, the pace of the changes already set in motion can still be moderated significantly.

A little more than 8 years ago he said the earth was going to burn up. Rush has been keeping a countdown ever since, and there's about a year and 7 months left. When we hit that 10 year mark, is Al going to give back that half billion he made from this scam? Is everyone who overpaid at the pump for those 10 years because of this scam going to get a refund with interest? I think we should start a campaign which could take off. Hey, who wants some money?

Thank Al Gore that as a planet we have not done enough but it has been enough - by some magical wave of his hand it is all gunna be alright now even though we never did enough to make it all right we somehow did. I have never read such a load of nonsense in my whole life - he could never bring himself to admit that they were completely wrong so this gigantic lie must be made so that we can nervously pat each others backs say “Well Done Oh good and faithful Comrade” but still be on our guard against unbelievers - and of course we still need to make more laws to stop those unbelievers from putting Gaia in danger again! I shouldn’t be amazed at the depth of people’s gullibility and the lies that people tell but I still am!

Hell no!
He just reset the stopwatch to another ten years, sort of like the (eternal) Soviet 5-year plan on steroids.

He hopes we'll all be dead when he splits with the ill-gained protection money extorted by complicit criminal politicians from the American taxpayers.

If I had enough money I would follow Al Gore’s example.

I would buy a couple of expensive mansions, SUV’s to drive around in and use private aircraft to travel around the globe (leaving a carbon footprint impossible to obtain in the entire history of my family) to extol the horror of climate change.

Then I would fly back to one of my mansions, enjoy a good bottle of wine, and ponder why the progressives are such chumps.

As they always do in communist countries. Sorry, but I despise Al Gore, with passion.

A lot of people, including myself, have viewed “The Hunger Games” as a very subversive view of the (near?) future - where the effete live high off the hog on the backs of the serfs. This, of course, would be just the way Al would like it.

Algore writing about “global warming” in Rolling Stone. Make sure you fire up the old bong before you start reading.
