Gore: Global Warming More Serious Than Terrorism

The United States has been waging a war on international terrorism for more than four years, but what does Al Gore think is a more serious issue?

Global warming.

In in interview with Australia's The Age, the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee and former senator drew parallels between those who dispute global warming, and its investment implications, with Neville Chamberlain and others who wanted to appease the Nazis before World War II.

Winston Churchill warned in the 1930s that a storm was gathering and democratic nations would be forced to "sip from the bitter cup" until they reasserted their moral authority.

"The time of half-measure has passed. We are entering a period of consequences," says Gore, quoting Churchill.

"What changed in the U.S. with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately," he says. "I don't want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing."

Gore is the co-founder and chairman of the British-based sustainable investing company Generation Investment.

This loser has completely lost his mind (if he ever had one)!

[samtheman]

I hope he runs. I hope he runs. I hope he runs. I hope he runs.

[Izzy Dunne]

I think he's right. If we don't get these environazis to sitdown and STFU, we won't be able to fight the terrorists.

[AliVeritas]

For the love of Jacques Costeau already! Why don't dem ex-presidents and nominees just go away.

[Peach]

The Clinton administration continues to insist they took terrorism seriously and as their number one concern.

Then they open their mouths again and we realize just what dangerously frivolous people were in that administration.

[ChadGore]

In liberal think, I suppose it does.

Every time it rains, it's Americas fault.
Every time a terrorist kills innocents, it's Americas fault.

THANK GOD BUSH WON
Twice

[coconutt2000]

I don't know... He's quoting Churchill. He must be brilliant, charismatic, and prescient. /facetious rant

[BenLurkin]

[LegendHasIt]

Oh, yeah, the remote possibility that winters might be one or two degrees warmer on average in a hundred years, would be a LOT more deadly than being blown up, shot or beheaded or stoned to death by some bearded maniac.

Can't you stupid warmongering conservatives see this?

[Dan from Michigan]

Shut up Alwhore.

The biggest problem we have right now is rich leftist social engineers like George Soros.

[manwiththehands]

Gore The Prophet predicts the "end of the world".

[hosepipe]

Only one thing more important and dangerous then global terrorism..
Democrats anywhere near Washington D.C..
AND the RINOS they control..

[Paladin2]

That Gore is such a kidder - I kid you not. He's really funny and belongs on Air America with what'is name.

Business a little slow huh?

[maggief]

[BenLurkin]

BUMP!

[smoothsailing]

I like global warming, it makes for better beach days!

LONG LIVE THE SUN !!!

[wagglebee]

The funny thing is that in the unlikely event that global warming even exists, which I doubt, the result would be COOLER temperatures. This was actually demonstrated in the leftist propoganda movie "The Day After Tomorrow." The reality is that global warming would occur at the poles and melt the polar icecaps, the result would be colder waters and cooler temperatures.

[conservativebabe]

No, algore, liberalism is ALMOST as deadly as terrorism.

What a dimwit.

[NickatNite2003]

Oh *MAN*!!! What a 'Tard he is!!!

[Hunble]

Facts are facts, and raw data is raw data.

The "Global Warming" frauds must manipulate and distort the data to support their claims.

Their deception alone, is the best indication that "Global Warming" is an absolute fraud.

Hey, how many of you remember "Acid Rain?"

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Gore's wacky evalutation of current events reminds me of the beer commercial on radio. "If the sun....ever fails to go down.....you'll be ready!

[Straight8]

Seems to me terrorists have killed a lot more people than global warming.
algore, face it , you are now and for the forseeable future will be, irrelevant.
Hush,now, and take your meds.
BTW,if it wasn't for global warming, half the U.S.A. would be under 25 feet of ice.

[conservative physics]

Actually world wide socialism is the most serious problem we are facing.

[operation clinton cleanup]

"What changed in the U.S. with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately,"

My weather charts predict another Goron book forming soon.

[eeevil conservative]

Sorry.... I just can't resist....

[wagglebee]

Gore's wacky evalutation of current events reminds me of the beer commercial on radio. "If the sun....ever fails to go down.....you'll be ready!

I love those Bud Lite commercials!

[TheForceOfOne]

We should send all our troops to the north pole with snow maker machines to fight the real enemy, Global Warming. We'll confiscate all equipment from ski resorts towards the war effort. We will require all citizens to buy backyard snow makers and run them every day. We can win this war, Thanks Albert, I hope were not to late. /sarcasm

[highlander_UW]

Gore is literally insane! What is said is that global warming is more rational than terrorists...you can't negotiate with either, but at least global warming doesn't blow up weddings.

[lastchance]

Gore invented the internet, let him stop global warming too.
I mean for someone of his capabilities it should be a cinch.
But to really get a unbiased, scientific view of global warming Al had better go to the Arctic Circle. Oh and studies can take years, decades even. So dress warm Al and don't forget to write.

[Larry Lucido]

This is the same idiot that praises the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, but who would have denied them the very guns that they used to fight the Nazis.

I can't beleive I clicked on this link...............................................................................................................................

[RichInOC]

Al, bad government did more damage to New Orleans than Katrina ever could have.

[Amish with an attitude]

This poor man still needs professional help.

[Kimmers]

Well, it does take a whole village to raise the local idiot.

What village did Al come from?

[dirtbiker]

What does Al Gore think is a more serious issue? Global warming.

Al Gore thinks? Now THAT is news....

He reminds me of the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of OZ" ....."If I only had a brain....."

[dirtbiker]

That Gore is such a kidder - I kid you not. He's really funny and belongs on Air America with what'is name.

Air America is still operating? That's news to me. Last Arbitron ratings I heard for them, they didn't rate high enough to get a number, only an "*", which means "* ratings too low to measure".

I tried to listen to them once, on my step-son's XM car radio.....worst 15 seconds of my 46 year life.....

[ladyinred]

This stupid thinking helped bring us 911.

[dirtbiker]

Hey, how many of you remember "Acid Rain?"

Yeah, I remember it. I also remember back in the '70s the talk was of a new "Ice Age". January, 1977 was one COLD month here in VA, followed by an August that set 21 record HIGH temperatures. Musta been that global warming, even back then....

Who knew?

[Hunble]

Actually, my sister-in-law still believes in "acid rain."

I never had the heart to break the reality to her, but that is caused by Pine Needles!

[dirtbiker]

"If the sun....ever fails to go down.....you'll be ready! I love those Bud Lite commercials!

I remember that one. I beleive it was "Mr. 80 SPF Sunblock Wearer". "It blocks all the sun's rays, and any stray rays from distant suns, in distant galaxies...."

My fav is "Mr. Homemade Pontoon Boat Maker". "What do you have when you take some discarded 55-gallon drums, some plywood, a stereo system, a blender, and a string of lights? Way TOO much electricity over a whole lot of water..."

[dirtbiker]

"acid rain".... that is caused by Pine Needles!

I bet she'd have a cow when I drive by in my diesel truck....Taking the sulphur out of diesel fuel cost me $650 bucks to have my fuel pump and injectors rebuilt....thanks to Al and Bubba, and I also pay an extra 6 cents/gallon federal taxes on my fuel....

Question: Why are "Big Oil" company exects before Congress for making a profit margain of 7-10 cents/gal, when federal, state, and local governments made more than 4 times that?

[hinckley buzzard]

Guess the stockholders of Golden West grew tired of wasting piles of money on Fat Albert to hang around and do nothing.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Al Gore is not scary. Scarey is the number of people that voted for him and still wish he had won the election. That's scary.

[Hunble]

Facts are facts. The decomposition of pine-needles will always acidify the water that has trickled through it.

Everything else was an environmental and political HOAX, and these people must be held accountable for their actions.

[jimfree]

In the words of the immortal Bugs Bunny "What a maroon!"

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Global warming not only blows up hotels and flies planes into skyscrapers, it also enriches uranium and manufactures WMDs!

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

Hey, how many of you remember "Acid Rain?"

How about "Nuclear Winter," which was the hysterical future scenario that would be caused by all the hydrocarbons and soot resulting from burning cities. Funny, these nuts don't realize that they're now arguing a position that's 180 degrees opposite, but based on the same cause!

[cubreporter]

Al ... lie down and rest dear. All will be better in the morning. Nite, nite.
