NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.
The former U.S. vice president, whose climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award, told a philanthropic meeting in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the climate crisis."
"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore told the Clinton Global Initiative gathering to loud applause.

When does he start campaigning for Osama? I think he should start in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

And when someone acts on this advice, I believe Algore will have incited them.
In a functioning representative republic, such a man would be jailed. In our evolving communist state, Algore is part of the ruling class. No action will be taken.

Good God!
And think about what Biden was saying, let CHINA have the clean coal energy! Not us. That really is the liberal plan. Starve America of energy and give it to our enemies. Frightening.

I would say that Al has opened himself up to a whole raft of criminal charges including racketeering.

His new yacht (complete with two jet skis on the back) runs on gas, so he has no need for coal.
If he need coal for any other toys, China will provide.

Socialist rats are the last ones who should be inciting people to engage in civil disobedience . Respect for the laws of this nation and belief in God's laws are the only things standing between rats like Gore and a measure of justice dispensed by the citizenry .
