"We need a new president, and we need a president committed heart and soul to the climate crises," Gore said during an activist training conference in Atlanta hosted by his nonprofit, nonpartisan Climate Reality Project. "I'm very happy that so many of the Democratic candidates have made it clear that's the way they would intend to govern if they won."

Trump's presidency "is unfortunate in so many ways," Gore said, but he also credited Trump's open contempt of the scientific consensus that human activity affects the Earth's atmosphere with pushing many moderates and even some conservatives toward the more traditional liberal activists on the issue.

Gore, 70, added that public opinion is moving so quickly that a new president could find the political muscle for sweeping action. "Even people who used to want to deny it in the past are saying, 'Hey, hold on ... I've had enough of this,'" he said, citing rising sea levels, droughts and an uptick in "once-in-1000-year" storms.

Stalin had scientific “consensus” too.

It was called Lysenkoism, and it set Russian agriculture back a thousand years.

According to his prognostication, we should be dead by now...

Weird Al has got dollar signs in his eyeball sockets. He’s getting ready to clean up. Kind of like hitting the global warming lottery.

[Captain7seas]

The eyes are dead. His soul is possessed by demons.

[Star Traveler]

He (and they) are delusional. They really believe their own crap.

[rbg81]

It’s not about Global Warming or Climate Change. Never was. It’s about using a nebulous boogeyman to effect all kinds of economic and social changes in the name of “Science”. And make Al Gore another ten billion $$ along the way.

[BenLurkin]

He looks like he belongs in the bunker at 10 Cloverfield Lane

[DoughtyOne]

No kidding, and that ignores the fact he’s getting part of the carbon credit payouts from corporations.

He drives SUVs, flies corporate jets, and airlines. He has a massive home using plenty of things that dirty up the planet.

His worshipers don’t have any problem with this.

Man what saps this guy and guys like him have found.

This pathetic hypocrite should go scuba diving in the Ganges River and then lecture the Chinese and Indians.
