Former Vice President Al Gore made a stunning comparison, saying climate change skeptics are similar to the law enforcement officers who botched the response to the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
“Climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred,” Gore said during a pre-taped “Meet the Press” interview airing Sunday. [bold, links added]
“They heard the screams, they heard the gunshots, and nobody stepped forward,” he continued. “And God bless those families who suffered so much. Law enforcement officials tell us that’s not typical of what law enforcement usually does.”
Gore, a former Tennessee senator who served as vice president to former President Bill Clinton, insisted that addressing climate change is not a “partisan issue” but that the U.S., like the Uvalde response, is failing to act.
“And confronted with this global emergency, what we’re doing with our inaction and failing to walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings,” he said.
“We do have the solutions, and I think these extreme events that are getting steadily worse and more severe are really beginning to change minds.”

“We have to have unity as a nation to come together and stop making this a political football,” he added. “It shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
Video of the police response to the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School, where 19 children and two adults were fatally shot, showed officers gathering for more than an hour outside a classroom where the gunman carried out his attack.
Police Chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo is on paid administrative leave while the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District determines his fate.
A 77-page report released by the Texas House of Representatives Investigative Committee found that school administrators adopted a “regrettable culture of noncompliance” with safety and security measures leading up to the shooting.

I compare Al Gore to a lying cxkr
who won’t go away.
He has harvested billions from the climate lie
Any non-psychotic pig would disappear and lavish in luxury
A bit rich coming from a mega rich fake “prophet.” He has made so many false predictions he either believes his own misinformation or follows the mantra ‘if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth’. One wonders if elites like him have any remaining shred of conscience left or has it been seared by so many lies.
The analogy only works if you had very dubious proof man made bullets caused penetration wounds in humans.
Gore the Bore writes a stupid poem that makes pinheads in the Eco-Freak groups and M.S. Media swoon he gets two undesrved awards for his fake Documenties yet he still lives his high way of living and he still uses more electricity in one month then the average American Family uses in one year
Someone needs to take Gores Oscar and throw it into the Ocean and revoke his Nobel Prize he is less a man and more of some kind of Eco-Freak Manias and Con Artist
Al Gore; there is a lampost with your name on it somewhere…
