Al Gore explains why he’s optimistic about stopping global warming
Washington Post ^ | August 21, 2013 | Ezra Klein

Posted on 08/22/2013 6:05:59 AM PDT by artichokegrower

Ezra Klein: In 2005, when “An Inconvenient Truth” came out, I remember that the hope was we could keep the carbon load in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, and the fear was we would hit 400ppm. Now we’ve hit 400ppm and people are hoping to avoid 450ppm. This seems to be getting out of hand, and fast.

Al Gore: We have already crossed the 400 parts per million mark. We crossed it earlier this year. The question now is how high it will go before we begin bending the curve. But in spite of the continued released of 90 million tons of global warming pollution every day into the atmosphere, as if it’s an open sewer, we are now seeing the approach of a global political tipping point.

"Gore likens 'global warming' skeptics to racists, supporters of apartheid, homophobes..."

So if you were a gay black guy who did not believe in man made global warming then what?

Living proof that in America, being a complete and utter moron does not deter you from attaining high office and becoming rich and famous.

Gee, he’s optimistic about stopping something non-existent. So, when nothing happens, he takes credit!

Yep, straight out of the Liberal Democrat playbook. . .

AG: Well, I think the most important part of it is winning the conversation. I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, hey man, we don’t go for that anymore....

....The conversation on global warming has been stalled because a shrinking group of denialists fly into a rage when it’s mentioned. It’s like a family with an alcoholic father who flies into a rage every time a subject is mentioned and so everybody avoids the elephant in the room to keep the peace

It seems, according to this POS, that I am a racist and an abusive father.....Algore needs a straight jacket and Thorazine.

Al Gore is a wealthy neo pagan earth worshiper. Unfortunately he is not alone and is a real threat to the material well being of most Americans.

Gore is the definition of stupid.

He was the child of a sleazy senator.

So - since he had no moral upbringing coupled with the IQ of a democrat - he had no choice but to also be a senator.

God made politics in order to support such low achievement life forms.

He knoweth not science.

He knoweth well women other than his wife.

He is a walking fat globule...controlled by one cell.

Hey, Goredork, I’ll debate you any time, any place on your “climate change” bull Obama.

Be prepared to get your scrotum handed to you, idiot.

...and Ezra Klein is an idiot.

He's worst than an idiot, he's a propagandist masquerading as a journalist.

Never forget he was the chief of the Democrats' media strategy organ "JournoList".

Keen grasp of inertia there Al.
Easy to stop something that isn't moving.

Al is living proof that being a heavy dope smoker all of your life can lead to mental imbalance in some.
