MADRID - Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore urged governments negotiating at U.N. talks in Madrid this week to ramp up their efforts to tackle climate change, saying humanity's future was at stake.

"It is criminally negligent for the generation of leaders in power today to stick their heads in the sand and ignore what the scientists are telling us in ever more dire terms," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

"We have to stop using the sky as an open sewer for heat-trapping pollution. It threatens the future of human civilisation," said Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work to raise awareness on climate change.

I don't know why Gore is so bothered about this.

Don't sweat the small stuff, I was killed by Climate Change seven years ago. (Shrug)

Hey Al, that is for the people to decide, not the Central Committee of the Democrat party.

“Hey bro, what are you in here for?”

“Denying anthropologically generated global warming. Life plus 50.”

Leaders are negligent when they ignore real science, honest data and disagreeing climate scientists.

So, they’re negligent.

Only because he was writing about the USSR in the late 1940s and it was a WARNING to the UK and the rest of world; which they all have more or less ignored and plunged full bore into the mess that the West is now in.

Let them out?

They can see the end just fine through the cell bars. Everyone gets a window.

More than you can say in some cube farms, where the window is a primo location, awarded for service.

Hey Al, you ignorant communist piece of shit, they are not “OUR LEADERS”. They are supposed to be our REPRESENTATIVES, to carry out OUR WISHES.

You totalitarian leftist scumbags have perverted our form of government long enough! Go home to your fancy house and STFU before we tire even further of you Al.

Ah! I have been looking for that picture!

There was a funny photoshop a while back that showed Lurch in the background saying “Get a room you two!” which I need to recreate...

Their stupidity never stops being funny until it threatens our well-being...

Yes, His Gropiness needs us to buy more indulgences to refill his coffers. Settling sexual assault claims is expensive.

Or did all the MeTooers forget about that one....

Climate science is a false, non-starter premise.

Alchemy. Astrology are close cousins to climate science.
