One day climate change skeptics will be seen in the same negative light as racists, at least so says former Vice President Al Gore.
In an interview with former advertising executive and Climate Reality Project collaborator Alex Bogusky broadcasted on UStream on Friday, Gore explained that in order for climate change alarmists to succeed, they must “win the conversation” against those who deny there is a crisis.
“I remember, again going back to my early years in the South, when the Civil Rights revolution was unfolding, there were two things that really made an impression on me,” Gore said. “My generation watched Bull Connor turning the hose on civil rights demonstrators and we went, ‘Whoa! How gross and evil is that?’ My generation asked old people, ‘Explain to me again why it is okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different?’ And when they couldn’t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.”
The former vice president recalled how society succeeded in marginalizing racists and said climate change skeptics must be defeated in the same manner.
“Secondly, back to this phrase ‘win the conversation,’” he continued. “There came a time when friends or people you work with or people you were in clubs with — you’re much younger than me so you didn’t have to go through this personally — but there came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, ‘Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don’t go for that so don’t talk that way around me. I just don’t believe that.’ That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won.”
“We have to win the conversation on climate,” Gore added.
When Bogusky questioned the analogy, asking if the scientific reasoning behind climate change skeptics might throw a wrench into the good and evil comparison with racism, Gore did not back down.
“I think it’s the same where the moral component is concerned and where the facts are concerned I think it is important to get that out there, absolutely,” Gore said.
Gore also took shots at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has lambasted climate change alarmists on the presidential campaign trail, and other politicians who dare to question the veracity of global warming science.
“This is an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole, to attack their integrity, and to slander them with the lie that they are making up the science in order to make money,” Gore said.
She was too smart to go into the restaurant where Jesse Jackson was spitting in the food.
things seem to happen in threes. this is gore’s second wave, right? or do we count the vice presidency as the first one? gawd, i hope so, cause he really needs to find a nice green pasture somewhere.
Al is getting a bit desperate. Sorry, Al, the AGW gravy train has derailed. The gig is up.
“This is the crux of a speech that Algore has been giving to students.
He tells his audiences that they must be prepared to march like their parents did in the 60s — that their parents are wrong if they don’t understand the dangers of AGW.”
His “Purse” must be getting hit by the truth, stooping to this with these mushheads.
Who more resembles a bigot than one who calls those who disagree with him names and urges others to shun them and attack them for being “different or out of step with mainstream beliefs?”
These fanatics act like fascists/Communists in their tirades.
I was at a town hall at a Fortune 500 company a few years ago. One of the top scientists at the company (he holds scores of patents, worked with NASA, a most impressive resume, everyone at the company knew of him), questioned Pelosi puppet Gabby Giffords. She had a badly-rehearsed and memorized version of “fear fear fear” about global warming.
Lo and behold, within a few weeks, that scientist mysteriously “retired.”
There was a shake-up later because of what Giffords and her BFF at the site had done, but no repercussions.
The scientist went on to do great things for another company, so at least they didn’t succeed in hauling him to a gulag.
However, this is an extremely frightening thing that happened, and that received little to no publicity, other than with the handful of us who were there.
Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.
The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.
The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.
The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.
Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy as Mr Gore. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.
This should show how out of touch with reality this stupid m’fer is. Not only was his father Al Gore Sr. a racist southern Dixiecrat but Al Jr. belongs to the same racist Democratic Party. Al needs to be Thorazined-up, nodding in the Day Room with an unlit cigarette in his hand. The guys a loon.
But Communists are not permitted to go to church.
It’s their “guiding” philosophy.
Anyone out there listening.....anyone?
He grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia. For him going Souf' was a trip to a hotdog joint in Woodbridge just as you crossed over the Occoquan bridge on US 1.
Notice that he never says HE SAW, he says OUR GENERATION SAW ~ which means somebody else might have seen it, but probably not him.
My generation watched Al Gore refusing to objectively discuss climate change with skeptics and we went, "Who! How gross and evil is that?' My generation asked pseudo-intellectuals, 'Explain to me again why you believe people are causing climate change?' And when they couldn’t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.”
Global Warming hucksters are this generations Snake Oil Salesman!
Oh WOE is me... whys everybody always pickin on me??? listen... warming, cooling, it was 50/50. so i took a shot!!!
Bump!!
Really? The guy's name is Bogusky?
If EVER there was a perfect name for a Changer.
Or, as I like to call them, Global Warming Hoax Deniers.
Ahhhh. Now we're gettin' somewhere. It's about the money.
A question from the back of the room? From where do Climate Scientists get their "funding" and what happens to that flow of money in the event they conclude that human beans are not causing Climate Change?
I'll see myself to the door.
Are we really supposed to believe scientists, climatologists, meteorologists on the theory of global warming when that same equipment can’t even predict a storm 2 hours away? Sore Looserman.
“We have to win the conversation on climate,” Gore added.
But...but...I thought the debate was over on Global Warming? And that it was settled science? How can this possibly be, oh great and wise Goracle, that the conversation has not yet been won? /s
