Civil unrest has a role in stopping climate change, says Gore

Amid increasing incidents of climate protesters disrupting the operations of fossil-fuel industries and airports in Britain and elsewhere, Gore suggests the scale of the emergency means non-violent lawbreaking is justified. "Civil disobedience has an honourable history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite understandable, and it has a role to play," he says. "And I expect that it will increase, no question about it."

[Kartographer]

What the hell is this after all the bashing and wailing by the 'Dims' about the Teaparties and now Gore avocating civil unrest for leftist causes!

Can a real revolution of right against the left be far away?

[SueRae]

And civil unrest will also stop this BS of a bill and those behind it, Big Al. Follow the money....

[Nat Turner]

I think we need “sit-ins” every time ALGORE goes out for a steak...

[repentant_pundit]

Better yet, civil unrest has a role in stopping Gore and his comrades

[johniegrad]

This idiot is certifiably insane.

[SoldierDad]

Al Bore wants the Earthers to disrupt production of fossil fuels so that people like him will have adequate supplies while the rest of us go back to the horse/buggy.

Hey!...Jackass! Glad you agree! More Tea Parties to come!

[sportutegrl]

Is he insane? Civil unrest is not simply protesting. It is a willful breaking of laws. I think Gore is saying that this case is so hopeless this is the only way to win. (It won’t work.)

Civil unrest has a role in stopping climate change, says Gore

If algore is push "civil unrest" to stop climate change, then surely civil unrest by those put out of work by his whack-job science is justified.

[paul in cape]

How about a group of us get together and storm Gore's Palace in Tennessee?

[KarlInOhio]

Would he feel the same way if the civil unrest lit his Gulfstream or limo on fire?

[colorado tanker]

If these idiots actually succeed in some of the stupid schemes they've got that damage the economy and deprive people of the energy they need in their homes and jobs, Algore might be surprised which side the civil unrest would target.

[devistate one four]

Yeah, and they still let him in the whitehouse and capital hill!

[broken_arrow1]

He should do his part to stop global warming by keeping his big fat mouth shut!! A lot of CO2 comming out of that fat ass blow hard!

[technically right]

I used to run a coal fired power plant in West Virginia. Ahh,I would strongly advise against any “civil unresting” down in that neck of the woods.

[A_Former_Democrat]

This guy was actually VP and also within a whisker of President?

Unreal.

[RichInOC]

“A riot is an ugly ting...und I tink it is chust about time ve had one!”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Bring it on! Nothing would please me more than daily news coverage of the trials of little eco-terrorists who are all using the “Al Gore Told Me to Do It” defense

[Sacajaweau]

I’m turning my heat up to 75. If I gotta go neked...so be it!! I will not conform!!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Except during townhall meetings on healthcare I guess.

“Civil disobedience has an honourable history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite understandable, and it has a role to play,” he says. “And I expect that it will increase, no question about it.”

We can say the same thing about using it to overcome the healthcare debate.

[liberateUS]

"Civil unrest has a role in stopping climate change hysteria, says Gore liberateUS."

There, fixed it.

[denydenydeny]

So can we occupy and confiscate Al’s mansion now? In the name of stopping climate change, of course.

[Nervous Tick]

How about some civil unrest in the form of patriots trashing Algore’s energy wasting mansion? Would that be OK?

[denydenydeny]

China leads the world in the opening of new coal plants. I invite Al and his friends to see what "nonviolent civil disobedience" gets you there.

[backwoods-engineer]

To quote Robert A. Heinlein from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress: "Certain kinds of loudmouthism should be a capital crime among decent people."

[Teotwawki]

So back when they had that lights out for an hour stunt, and he kept his mansion all lit up, we should have smashed all his lights with rocks? Sounds good to me. Maybe we can permanently disable his fleet of SUVs while we’re at it.

[theDentist]

Hey Al, just STHU.

[Dutch Boy]

Yup... a little civil unrest directed at those that are calling for civil unrest in the name of this fraud.

Time to use their tactics against them.

[pallis]

When enough people are cold, hungry, and deprived of energy because of Gore’s greedy scam, there will be a lot of civil unrest over the his changing of the climate. I would like to see a mob round him up, and toss him into a prison with the rest of the climate scam creeps. He and Soros should share a 4X8 cell with no running water and no lighting.

[Hot Tabasco]

If I'm not mistaken, that Hanson guy from NASA said the very same thing in speeches in Europe this past year or so......

[cvq3842]

My favorite “civil unrest” was those protestors shouting “let us in” when the Florida Dems tried to steal the 2000 election.

[Ditto]

If I'm not mistaken, that Hanson guy from NASA said the very same thing in speeches in Europe this past year or so......

Yes he did. And he also called for the jailing of anyone who disagreed with his lunatic opinions.

[IrishCatholic]

bookmark.

[norwaypinesavage]

I guess Al will just have to hold his breath until he turns blue. This will have two purposes: it will express his civil disobedience, and will prevent his CO2 pollution.

[Prospero]

Sauce for the Goose.

[Publius6961]

Listen, loser...

As soon as you abandoned "Global Warming" for "Climate Change," your credibility plummeted below zero.

Just go away!

What's next?
The war on clouds?
The war on rain?

The war on ocean waves?

What a miserable existence this true moron must have, becoming a millionaire on the backs of the gullible and the ignorant.

[lionheart 247365]

Gore is absolutely correct ,, if they attempt to pass cap and tax after passing healthcare ,,, there will be civil unrest .

[lionheart 247365]

Gore is absolutely correct ,, if they attempt to pass cap and tax after ramming the healthcare bill through ,,, there will be civil unrest like they haven’t seen to date .

[Eagle Eye]

Fine, algore. How far are you willing to go?

I am willing to use lethal force to defend my rights.

Are you willing to use lethal force to take my rights away?

[sergeantdave]

Al Gore’s house, plane and crooked business need to be shut down.

[SaraJohnson]

I would love to see Al’s head bashed in as he conducts “civil unrest” for the cause of filling his bank account with the proceeds of his global carbon scam. Come on, Al, get out of that private Jet and into the streets. Lets see your fat fanny out there rioting for the rich socialist guys!

[steelyourfaith]

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[opentalk]

From article:

Nevertheless, there are "surprises … in store" on a potential Senate bill, Gore says, citing confidential conversations between Democrats and Republicans in which he has been involved.

What is that suppose to mean? Cap and Trade would destroy jobs. They cannot be that brazen.
