Al Gore calls for climate action in Rice speech
The Rice Thresher (Student Paper) ^ | October 24, 2017 | by Cameron Wallace

Posted on 10/24/2017 10:18:05 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Former Vice President Al Gore spoke about the dangers of man-made climate change at the Rice University Tudor Fieldhouse on Monday evening.

Gore organized his talk around three big questions: whether society must change climate practices, whether it has the ability, and whether it has has the will. Before the talk got underway, Gore found an opportunity to connect with his Houston audience through his role on the executive board of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders.

“I guess I’m kind of a Rice Owl now,” Gore said.

Gore began the speech with statistics arguing that the world is trending towards hotter temperatures and witnessing more violent storms from India to Texas. Gore said six Texas towns have recently set or tied all time temperature records.

Gore concluded the speech by framing action on climate change as a matter of right versus wrong.

“We are at a tipping point on the climate movement,” he said. “Our home is at stake and if anyone tells you that we don’t have the will to change, let them remember that political will is itself a renewable resource.”

If Gore showed up for a speech, LEAVE at once. Man has a propensity for being at weather problems when he is present, like blizzards when speaking of globull warming.

I’m killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gangway
You better hit bull’s eye the kid don’t play
If there was a problem yo I’ll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Al Gore was speaking on a topic that is his “bread and butter”.

Al Gore, we can stop this whole global warming thing by stuffing a corker in your pie hole.

The man has nothing else to say. That’s it’s historically and scientifically hogwash is of no import to him. I can see the humorous footnote about him in future history books.

The only things that have been drawing electricity today are the fridge, freezer, phones, the microwave to nuke some coffee for 1.5 minutes and the laptop. The house is open for fresh air so no a/c or heat. Pretty much the same most days until evening tv and cooking supper. What’s Algore’s usage today?

This man burned record albums to advance his political career and get in the national spotlight for a 1988 presidential run.

He attacked careers, he saw to it that minimum wage clerks were arrested for peddling dirty records to minors. It mattered not to him.

Same with “globe bull warming”.

It’s a means to an end.
