Former Vice President Al Gore blasted the Trump administration on Friday for choosing to release a major climate change report on the day after Thanksgiving.
"Unbelievably deadly and tragic wildfires rage in the west, hurricanes batter our coasts — and the Trump administration chooses the Friday after Thanksgiving to try and bury this critical U.S. assessment of the climate crisis," Gore said in a statement.
"The President may try to hide the truth, but his own scientists and experts have made it as stark and clear as possible," the former vice president-turned climate change advocate added.
The congressionally mandated federal report details how climate change will interrupt the way people live day-to-day while impacting human health, posing challenges to the global economy and threatening the world's energy supply.
The report, the first of its kind from the Trump administration, makes clear that climate change is real and human caused and that its effects are getting worse. It states that U.S. officials must quickly respond to mitigate its effects.
"The warming trend observed over the past century can only be explained by the effects that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, have had on the climate," the fourth federal National Climate Assessment reads.
The report contradicts many statements that President Trump has made expressing skepticism about climate change and offers a number of recommendations that are at odds with the Trump administration's deregulatory agency.
Gore wasn't the only one to call out the timing of the report's release on Black Friday, a major day for retailers when Americans are generally more interested in holiday shopping and related festivities.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in a tweet accused the administration of seeking to "bury a new report about the devastating consequences of climate change."
"Why?" Sanders said. "Because Trump's actions are actively making it worse."
“It’s an absolute disgrace to bury the truth about climate impacts in a year that saw hundreds of Americans die during devastating climate-fueled megafires, hurricanes, floods, and algal blooms," National Wildlife Federation President Collin O’Mara said in a statement.
David Easterling, director of the National Centers for Environmental Information Technical Support Unit, said the release date was moved up because the program responsible for it felt it "would be a topic of discussion" at two international conferences coming up.
"We wanted to get this out sufficiently in advance of those meetings to ensure that folks have a chance to review it," Easterling said during a phone call with reporters on Friday.
Al! Give America a break and croak, will ya?
Manbearpig inventing the Internet isn’t visionary?
Like a nasty case of herpes... Gore, Hitlery, the Obama’s, etc. They keep slithering out of the muck into a spot where the corrupt media will happily report on their ad nauseam.
Al Gore = an ant floating downriver on a piece of bark who believes he’s steering....

We’re sorry Algae! We’ll go confess our sins at the DMV immediately.
Lolololol...Mining Al Gore provides a lot of comedy material.
We need to stop illegal immigration in the name of climate change. Just think, when they come to the US the get cars and drive, they increase greenhouse gases, if we rounded up every single illegal and sent them back to their own countries the CO2 would drop incredibly fast. We would have the lowest emissions on the planet.
Hurricanes are “weather”. Wildfires have nothing to do with “climate” and are minimally influenced by weather.
Al Gore is saying that we can control the weather. It may have worked in colonial times with naive tribal members but not now.
He’s serial.
If Gore is pushing it, it needs to be exposed because the data will be bad/made up/changed, the math will be Obama level, the physics will be laughable, the models will be contrived and never correct, and of course, the conclusions are always be that we in the U.S. must do with less so that the monies can be spent on U.N official Lewinskys and third world governments.
No, he’s ignoring stupid contrived and paid for false climate reporting.
24 Nov: Daily Caller: ‘Embarrassing’: Climate Expert Explains What’s Wrong With The White House’s New Climate Report
by Chris White
The scientists who wrote the National Climate Assessment (NCA) used unreliable information that exaggerates the risks global warming poses, University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. noted in a series of tweets. He fears the report will make it easier for critics to dismiss future climate studies.
“By presenting cherrypicked science, at odds w/ NCA Vol,1 & IPCC AR5, the authors of NCA Vol.2 have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” Pielke Jr. wrote in a tweet Friday shortly after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”...
A White House statement Friday said the report was “largely based on the most extreme scenario” of global warming and that the next assessment would likely be more balanced. Pielke agrees...

Well, yes, he did invent the internet, and the book/movie ‘Love Story’ was based on his marriage to Tipper.
Been hearing a lot from him of late. Perhaps he is considering a run for the WH in 2020. He has a better chance than Hilary since all of the Millenials have been sufficiently brain-washing into believing that climate change is the worst problem facing the world.
Correct regarding "climate", but the wildfires are quite a bit influenced by an age old weather pattern. Other than 3 years in Spain, I've lived my life of 68 years in So.Cal, and I can't remember ONE year the dry Santa Ana winds didn't come in as the normal weather pattern and cause wildfires.
I could have missed a year, but I doubt it. Interestingly, while living in Spain, they have the same dry winds blow through every year that are called Levantes. Same east to west dry strong winds as Calif. Because of demographics with lessor population, Spain rarely has such wildfires...if at all.
He proves greed is insatiable just like the Clintons and their “foundation”.
What warming?
Did Al Gore invent the climate,too? I think not. Better he should just keep his pie hole shut about how to fix it,because he really has no clue on that nor does he have any business telling others how it should be done. The president made the right decision ignoring his advice as did most of the citizens. Bernie Sanders is just echoing Gore,which makes his ideas on climate equally worthless.
With the whole 24/7 news cycle, the Friday night news dump is not what it used to be.
They should bury it. It was a non-scientific hack job by a bunch of Global Warming Conspiracy theorists who have never held a honest job. For the last thirty years they have proclaimed their unproven “Chicken Little” the sky is falling in routine and we are still here.
