The White House announced the next group of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients Friday morning. [emphasis, links added]
Former Vice President Al Gore is on the list with a citation for his work on “climate change.”
“Al Gore is a former Vice President, United States Senator, and member of the House of Representatives. After winning the popular vote, he accepted the outcome of a disputed presidential election for the sake of our unity. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for his bold action on climate change,” the White House released in an announcement.
In 2006, Gore produced a documentary called “An Inconvenient Truth.”
The film, in which Gore said the Earth would “become a frying pan” and that the Arctic ice cap would be completely melted by 2013, has been widely debunked by scientists — including John Coleman, a co-founder of the Weather Channel.
Further, Gore made his fortune by selling his television network to Qatari-owned and oil-rich Al Jazeera.
Former Climate Czar John Kerry, who has flown around the world in his private jet for decades while decrying fossil fuel use for the rest of us, will also receive the honor.

It is a sad reflection of our current time when two persons get recognized for knowing nothing about the science of their “specialist” fields
Giving Gore and Kerry the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a travesty like giving the Peace Prize to Arafat like giving Congressional Medal of Honor to Benedict Arnold. Biden’s Delusional Senile and a UN/Globalists Democrat Traitor
This has, effective immediate – devalued the presitge of this award.
Biden is very good at make extremely bad decisions and these recipients, who should never be awarded for anything beyond getting out of bed each day, are proof of that.
