Al Gore: battle against climate change is like fight against slavery
The Guardian ^ | June 21, 2017 | by Damian Carrington

Posted on 06/21/2017 7:03:20 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Former US vice-president says green revolution is bigger than industrial revolution and happening at faster pace than digital revolution.

“The climate movement should be seen in the context of the great moral causes that have transformed and improved the outlook for humanity,” he told the Ashden green energy awards ceremony. “It was wrong to allow slavery to continue, it was wrong to deny women the right to vote, it was wrong to discriminate on the basis of skin colour or who you fell in love with.

Gore acknowledged there was opposition to strong action on climate change, but cited the US civil rights movement as an inspiration: “During some of the bleakest days of the civil rights movement, Dr Martin Luther King Junior was asked by one of his fellow advocates how long is this going to take and he famously answered, not long because no lie can live for ever.”

Gore told his London audience he was optimistic of success, despite the recent US withdrawal from the global Paris climate accord: “No one person can stop the climate movement or the sustainability revolution – we are going to win no matter what President Donald Trump tries to do.”

Senile dementia is a TERRIBLE THING! Almost as bad as being a One-World Globalist lackey!

In an act of rebellion to Trump's pulling out of Paris (the bad deal, not Hilton), the sun just pitched a fit. When notified of the recent sunspot activty, Algore, who was at the Bay of Fundy fine tuning his newly perfected device for controlling those troublesome 50+ foot tides, announced that he and his team of crack scientists led by Bill Nye, will depart sometime Monday to the sun to install his recently developed Sunspot Containment And Management Unit (SCAMU).

Those fans of Algore who might be worried about his safety were reassured to know that he will be going at night! (This message created in full compliance with Rule #5 dealing with ridicule as a valid political tool found in “Rules for Radicals” by leftist icon Saul Alinsky.)

In case you’re wondering why Algore requires such a large aircraft, it’s because he takes his ego, his banking records, several pallets of currency and 3 tons of gold coins with him wherever he goes.

Gore and friends want to make us all slaves to a global government and are using global warming as the current reason for us to submit.

We are fighting that. Holding our own in the US, but not so lucky in other countries where they suffer higher taxes, higher energy costs (and fewer jobs) to please the masters. And in developing countries people literally do not get energy they need in the name of “global warming” as Gore fights to keep them in “slave-like” conditions.

It can’t be that Algore’s Climate Gravy Train is drying up? Did he spend all his money on “environmentally friendly” products and services?

AL GORE - DOPE SMOKING FOOL

Connoisseur of the Herb Superb

John Warnecke Interview With Al Gore

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2000/gore/warnecke.html

"Before we move on, can we say something more about the pot smoking days. What was it like? You'd go to his house or you'd go to his house? What would you do?"

"We smoked a lot of grass. Far more than he's acknowledged... Al and Tipper would come over, and the first thing Al would do, usually, to check outdoors, look out the windows, roll down the shades. You know, ask me if I had any marijuana and joints. I always had. I had good connections in San Francisco, so I always had the best dope in town and I never charged him for it. I always gave it away. We had a sort of a motto in the hippie culture that you shared your dope..."

"Why did he like to smoke dope? Did it relax him? Did it make him more--"

"I think it relaxed him, but you wouldn't notice it if you looked at him. He was still a pretty stiff person. He wouldn't loosen up and crack a lot of jokes and get silly. That's not-- First off, that's not Al. He's a very serious person. I mean, everyone keeps saying-- I keep reading, "Well, you got to see Al when he lets his hair down. He's really funny." Well, occasionally he does-- But it really isn't Al. Al is a very serious guy and he's always thinking about serious issues and about serious matters. And I think the marijuana stimulated that, stimulated our conversations about different things, political things."

"At that time, I think, if I can remember correctly, he was for the legalization of marijuana as I was, as was everybody in America who smoked grass. College kids. But the stories that are out now about Al not smoking very much grass just aren't true. We smoked a lot of grass, and he smoked a lot of grass. He didn't just try it a few times."

"What's the first time you guys smoked dope together?"

"I think we first smoked grass-- I think my reputation preceded me as this sort of legendary hippie who had been with the Grateful Dead from San Francisco. We had a lot of grass. And Al sought it out. I think he wanted good grass. I think that's what he wanted. And I always had it, and I was always giving it away. We probably first smoked grass when he first came back from Vietnam. Maybe before he went. And we continued to smoke on a constant basis. And when I say constant, I don't mean every day, but we smoked several times a week."

"We would smoke at his farm, we would smoke in the car. We would smoke-- I remember one big long drive to Memphis to get a certain kind of barbecue for a lunch we were having...and smoking grass all the way down and all the way back in the car. I remember going to beer parties at my neighbor's house and Al always hitting me up for joints... I was his source. Mainly because he always knew I always had grass on me. I always had a rolled joint, usually shoved behind my ear. And I always was willing to share it with my friends. So Al knew I could get him high..."

Translation: Al Gore isn’t happy just being a millionaire, he wants to be a multi-billionaire from his carbon credits scheme and all the other crap he’s pushing related to this “climate change” bullcrap hoax.

Yeah, they want to make us slaves.

i.e. he’s doing what liberals do; projecting.

Truth is, the fight against the AGW hoax is a fight against becoming slaves.

“Climate change” was a Russian disinformation scam to bankrupt capitalist countries... get us to throw money away on a ‘goodie-two-shoes’ fantasy.

If Russian politicians were as stupid as Al Gore we could tell Russia the world will end if they don’t ‘un-thaw’ the land under Siberia. Then let them pour billions into a rat hole...

Too bad they’re not stupid enough to fall for it.

You mean like the segregation era system your father fought to maintain, Al?
