What would an election be without faux scientist Al Gore scaremongering about “Global Warming.” Yep, the false prophet is back and his rhetoric is once again warming the planet. Gore was on his TV channel that no one watches bloviating about the upcoming presidential election. He expressed dismay about the lack of “Climate Change” questions being directed at Republicans in any of the recent debates. He went on to mischaracterize various natural disasters around the world as “climate related disasters” and even trotted out the debunked notion that Arctic ice is melting at a record rate. He then finished by warning that civilization itself is at risk if we don’t get serious about his phony science.
Though in recent years the climate change issue has disappeared from the forefront (and former Vice President Al Gore has found himself criticizing Democratic President Barack Obama for not being more aggressive on the issue), on Tuesday night’s coverage of the New Hampshire primary on Current TV, Gore insisted it should be part of the 2012 campaign.
“It should be in the presidential campaign,” Gore said. “And it is not at present. Not a single question was asked about climate in any of the numerous, multitudinous debates that these candidates have had. And yet in the year 2011, the United States of America had more than 12 climate-related disasters that cost over a billion dollars. The state of Texas has had the worst drought in its history. It is climate-related. Out of 254 counties, 252 are on fire. 2010 was the hottest year ever recorded. We have record melting of the volume of ice in the Arctic Ocean, dramatically powerful storms, in Pakistan, Australia, the Northeast. Record flooding in the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers, and the list goes on. And it’s consistent with what the scientific community has been warning us.”
Gore added that the future of civilization was “at risk” if the issue continues to be neglected.
I actually think we should have a national dialogue about global warming. Maybe we can come to a consensus on how best to get Al Gore to shut the f*ck about it.
