Al Gore decided to celebrate halloween a couple days later then everyone else. Instead of a haunted house he went on Morning Joe and started telling us the world is about to end. The sky is falling. The earth has a fever. And we are all going to drown from rising sea levels.

Here's the link for the video. Transcript below.

"Al Gore: Well, the book is titled “Our Choice” because it focuses on the key factor. If we choose to switch to renewable energy. Sustainable agriculture and forestry. Make our economy more efficient. Then we don’t have to depended on foreign sources of oil and carbon based fuels. And most important of all, we’ve been putting 90 million tons of global warming pollution everyday into the atmosphere and the global scientific community is practically screaming from the rooftops sayings, you gotta stop that because it’s heating up the planet. The planet has a fever. The ice is melting. The storms are getting stronger. The droughts are getting deeper. Sea levels are beginning to rise. And the threat is of of catastrophe sea level rises. All of us have benefited greatly from the hard work and sacrifices from generations ago. And for us to take all of that for ourselves and tell the future generations ‘we don’t care about you, we’re going to use it all for ourselves.’ That makes this not a political issue but a moral issue and a ethical issue.

Al Gore: But at the same time that Texas has been shifting towards renewable energy. Wall Street Journal reported last week, huge new wind farm. 100% of the windmills made in China with Chinese government financing. They have made a commitment to. They see this as the 21’s century opportunity to make the windmills and the solar panels and the enhanced geothermal systems. And we are still locked into these old dirty expensive vulnerable carbon based fuels that represent the past when we have a chance to create millions of jobs here that cannot be outsourced and depend on American renewable energy. That’s our choice

Mika Brzezinski: Mr. Vice President the New York Times is looking at you. Your dual role as investor and advocate and they note that a lot of the recent 3.4 billion dollars in energy department grants went to a comp0any backed by your venture capital firm. I’ll ask the question that they put out there. Is there a conflict of interest or even the appearance of a conflict of interest?

Al Gore: Well, no. Of course I invest according to my beliefs and values and I encouraging everybody to do the same thing. I put my money where my mouth is. I’ve advocated these same policies for more than 30 years and of course I believe in it. If I didn’t they would criticize me for being a hypocrite."

“Al Gore ... started telling us the world is about to end. The sky is falling.”

If you or I said/did this we’d be in a rubber room, but if you’re rich and/or famous do it the Norwegians give you a prize.

Tell us about that mansion of yours, Al. Still sucking up 10 x the normal amount of energy? Or are you buying carbon credits from yourself?
