Paris Attacks: Al Gore Pulls Plug on Eiffel Tower Climate Telethon After 5 Hours
The Wrap ^ | November 13, 2015 | Matt Donnelly

“Our thoughts are with all who have been affected and the entire nation of France,” former vice president says of benefit concert which had started when attacks got underway

Former Vice President Al Gore pulled the plug on a live benefit for climate change some five hours into a 24-hour streaming show from the foot of the Eiffel Tower on Friday evening.

“Out of solidarity with the French people and the City of Paris, we have decided to suspend our broadcast of 24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth. Our thoughts are with all who have been affected and the entire nation of France,” Gore said in a statement. “We send our condolences to the families of those who have been killed or injured.”

Musicians Elton John and Bon Jovi were slated to play at the event, which did see a performance from Duran Duran, according to a Gore tweet.

“Thank you @duranduran for performing live in Paris at #24HoursOfReality. You were tremendous!” Gore wrote.

The event made it through roughly 4.5 hours before the live feed was pulled, leaving the homepage of Gore’s site with nothing but a backsplash of an animated Paris, with the phrase, “The World is Watching,” scrawled across.

“Our thoughts are with all who have been affected and the entire nation of France,”

Atheistic Marxist speak for you’re simply collateral damage, don’t take our policy for world destabilization personally - we’ll have achieved our goal soon.

How could the Goracle not have foreseen that going ahead with this telethon in the first place was in incredibly poor taste?

Oh, never mind.

I wonder how much money Al Gore was looking to make from this telethon. After all, Al Gore does nothing for free.

Another Al Gore Inconvenient Truth.

The mgmt of the Eiffel Tower cut the lights to the Tower that night for security reasons. It will remain dark indefinitely.

But don’t they believe global warming(climate change) is causing terrorism?

so, it looks like Al Gore agrees that Climate Change is NOT the most dangerous problem in the world.

‘“our thoughts are with” What exactly does that mean?’

If they said, “prayers,” they would be admitting that there is a God above and they can’t have any of that. What would their Leftist friends think?

Talk about inflaming the crisis.
