Former Vice President Al Gore is back in the spotlight (sort of) and looking to capitalize on the sudden hotness of climate change with a 24-hour telethon broadcasting from Vanderbilt University called “24 Hours of Reality,” and a series of appearances on late-night television.
The original climate change activist Gore has, lately, been overshadowed by more extreme environmentalists, including adolescent “climate strike” founder Greta Thunberg and “Green New Deal” author Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who, unlike Gore, are more interested in encouraging socialism (and, subsequently, crushing industrialization and technological advancement) as a vehicle for curbing carbon emissions.
He’s also run afoul of Thunberg and her followers — at least implicitly — for encouraging a system of climate indulgences, called “climate credits,” to offset egregious consumption rather than cutting that consumption entirely.
Gore’s landmark speech, kicking off 24 hours of activism “across the globe” had a “massive” audience of about a thousand people, according to local news in Nashville.
But in addition to Gore’s thoughts on climate change — he’s against it, obviously — he also weighed in on the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquiry and President Donald Trump’s approach to curbing immigration.
“The parts [of the impeachment inquiry] I’ve watched have left me extremely impressed by the women and men who are public servants,” Gore told local media — seemingly the only reporters covering the “landmark” event.
“Some of these people in the foreign service who serve our country selflessly for decades and they do a good job and they’re not seeking the limelight and they tell the searing truth. I think they’ve impressed people. We’ll see how this shakes out, but I think they’ve impressed people.”
His concerns with the Trump Administration flow less from its dealings in Eastern Europe, however, and more from its refusal to honor the Paris Climate Accords, which Gore worked on.
“That decision is still in the hands of the voters and of course that means the climate crisis melds with the democracy crisis,” Gore said, indicating that Americans should take the future of the globe into consideration when entering the voting booth. “And I’m hoping that whatever one’s political party they will get active and support candidates who care about the future and realize we’ve got to solve this.”
The Paris Climate Accords, of course, are not binding, and have no method of execution, meaning any country that refuses to abide by the goals outlined in the accord faces no punishment, leaving the agreement utterly toothless and ineffective.
On “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Gore called the current administration, “the most dangerous time in America I’ve ever seen.”
“There is just a radical all-out assault from Donald Trump on the values of America, the norms of America, the rule of law in America,” he told the politically active late-night host.
In a speech in New Jersey earlier this week, Gore took a page from climate change’s apocalyptic sages, comparing the issue to the great battles of World War II and even the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: “This is Pearl Harbor. This is Midway. This is the Battle of Bulge. This is 9/11. We have to rise to this challenge. We have to change.”
Oddly enough, Gore hasn’t been welcomed into the fold of “new environmentalism.” Despite his local appearances, he remains on the outside of the new climate movement.

John Barleycorn must die. He causes us to kill ourselves. End the Gorean Era now or become neutered slaves. God Bless America.
So their calling it 24 HOURS of REALITY well Al Gore is as about as far away from reality as the North and South Poles and yes 24 Hours of this Malarkey its as rediculous as that idiotic Earth Hour but what else can you ever expect from Gore his favorite green has big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ all over them and his favorite sound is KA-CHING,KA-CHING KA-CHING
I guess old Gore’s cashflow must be running low, not enough money to pay for his private jets or keep his pools warm enough. Or pay foot his “happy ending” massages!
I will comment on “Gore hasn’t been welcomed into the fold of ‘new environmentalism.’ Despite his local appearances, he remains on the outside of the new climate movement.” This is a matter of history repeating itself. In the late 1960’s the gun control movement mainly consisted of efforts to force registration of all guns, or to require gun owns to be licensed, or both. This morphed into an anti-gun movement with many organizations trying to discourage people from owning guns. In the early 1990’s one radical group had the goal of a total ban, making possession of any gun illegal for all except SWAT teams. Today, the mayor of Portland Oregon wants to take the guns away from that city’s police officers. In Gore’s time the Kyoto was calling for national reductions of 5% to 7% below each nation’s 1990 emissions. This has morphed into net zero emission by 2050, 2030, or 2025, depending on the organization. Some might say that science is driving this but there is no true science. The climate computer models produce what men programming them tell them to produce which is not related to the real world. It is easy to see why Gore was left behind.
Today both the anti-gun movement and the climate change movement have not bothered to check their numbers. The anti-gun people want to ban possession of assault rifles even though these are used in violent crimes less than any other category of firearm including ordinary hunting rifles. The people of the climate change movement obviously have no idea that we can’t feed our population without the use of fossil fuels. They are also clueless that without nuclear or back up fossil fuel power plants, it is impossible to keep the lights on 24/7.
Remember this is the same man who ran up a $30:000 a month utility bill which is far more they the utility bills of a the average American Family uses in one year so just pipe down Al Bore
In ARROGANCE
This has to rank right up there with
SHIRLEY McCLAIN
When in 1972 she ran a Telethon for
the benefit of the
DEMOCRAT PARTY
Think about how arrogant that is.
Hopefully the people will shut down this jerk
just like Shirley was.
After all,
Everybody knows that
EVERYONE
MUST Think the same way they do.
This the essence of the democrat party.
What a missed opportunity this article is. The writer could have listed every single prediction Al Gore made, showing that not a single one came true. They could have explored the economic damage people like Al Gore cause by their lies. They could have pointed to the data which shows the global food crop is stable/increasing, extreme weather events are stabler/dropping, deaths from extreme are plummeting, sea levels are not rising, etc. And what about Al Gore’s business interests?
And finally, that they could have asserted that the UN’s agenda is to use climate alarmism to implement Socialism globally. There are quotes from UN people such as the organiser of the Paris Accord where they state this.
Oh well.
