Al Gore was in Australia Thursday promoting his new video, "An Inconvenient Sequel,” the follow-up to Gore’s 2006 “An Inconvenient Truth.” While speaking to attendees of the EcoCity World Summit in Melbourne, the former vice president compared climate change advocates to those who worked to end slavery, promote civil rights and women's suffrage, battled apartheid in South Africa, and worked for gay rights. He said those activists had also experienced "ferocious resistance" to their cause.
Global warming advocacy is a movement that stifles dissent from the dominant scientific view, ruins the careers of people who disagree, threatens to throw skeptics in jail, and actively works to prevent the publication of alternate theories in respected scientific journals.
But resistance to global warming hysteria is "ferocious."
A group of conservative black activists has taken issue with Gore putting climate change activists on the same side as anti-slavery and civil rights workers.
Daily Caller:
Horace Cooper, a former assistant law professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, criticized Gore for appropriating the moral fight to end slavery to lend credibility to the push against global warming.
“When Al Gore, Jr. associates these moral movements of history with one grounded in questionable data, he gives climate change activists unearned moral credibility they haven’t earned and don’t deserve,” Cooper wrote in a press statement Friday.

And don’t forget, global warming deniers are worse than Holocaust deniers. In fact, the Holocaust was nothing by comparison.
At least Gore talks like a black man better than Hillary.
Obama was the only black man who cared about global warming. Care to guess why. Me thinks he’s ‘legally blonde.’
Let us remind the white liberals that blacks and Hispanics dislike them as much as they dislike us.
Watching libtards get slapped around is great fun!
Especially when its AlBore the global warming whore!
POPCORN FOR EVERYONE!
Groupthink. If you don’t buy into global warming, you’re not a good liberal. Then they treat you like conservatives.
Yawn. They’ll still vote Democrat.
He should know about that ferocious resistance since some of it came from his father.
Ditto that.
How about if you’re not a true believer, you’re racist. That’s because you WANT black people living near the ocean to drown. See the connection?
Yawn. They’ll still vote Democrat.

Yes, they would be lost if they left the Plantation. Sad.
The liberal game of power-through-guilt is cut-throat competitive - don’t you dare try to claim that your guilt mechanism is as big a deal as mine, get in line behind my grievance.
Racist and sexist. That’s because we deniers know that women and minorities are hardest hit by ‘climate change’.
I was under the impression that the climate was changing ever since the last ice age. You can’t deny that the globe has been getting warmer since the last ice age and the previously estimated five Ice Ages before that!
The uproar is all about fines, skewed data, misapplied tax dollars, and the general fleecing of the public.
Nobody wants to talk about keeping repellent and pesticides out of the third world? Because that does kill people. We got a control in the western world over malaria via pesticides, especially DDT.
The only difference beteen Welfare and Slavery is that in slavery, the Blacks HAD to work.
DDT, cfc’s, round up............ U know the deal.
Al Gore decides to milk a sacred cow without the owner's permission and is surprised to get kickback?
What was Gore thinking? I thought all Democrat politicians were up on current events. He is lucky he was not seriously injured.
