Al Gore urged dozens of leaders at the recent climate summit to cooperate on the issue of climate change giving world leaders an ultimatum. "Choose life over death," he said, "it is not time for moral cowardice." 1
This rhetoric is typical of Gore.
Al Gore spews false prediction after false prediction on climate change. He then labels those who expose how often he's wrong as buffoons or terrorists. Gore is using scare stories to profit and gain power, and he's doing it by trying to terrify the public. 2 He has even compared 'climate change deniers' to the cops who didn't intervene at the Uvalde, Texas shooting. 3
Gore who thrives on bad news and fear mongeringHans Rosling was on a program with Al Gore. Gore suggested to Rosling that he should add some fear to his presentation. Rosling rejected this as being against his principles. Not so with Gore who thrives on bad news and fear mongering. 4
Here's how Gore has responded to criticism: "I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentation on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up to the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." 5
In the 15 years since Gore accepted his Nobel Prize, not a single apocalyptic climate prediction has come true. 'We have a credibility problem,' he said at the opening of COP-27. Indeed he does says Steve Milloy. The entire climate alarmist movement has a credibility problem and Al Gore has contributed much to this problem over the years beginning with his infamously deceitful movie An Inconvenient Truth (2006). 6
Christopher Moncton itemized 35 'inconvenient truths' in the documentary. As the result of a lawsuit in England, teachers have to make clear that the film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 7
One of Gore's favorite tactics is to show something that happens naturally, then claim (or have you infer) that it is due to human greenhouse gas emissions. For example he claims that Miami is being flooded. But Miami is not being flooded. The land under Miami is sinking, and by an amazing 16-24 cm in the last 80 years. In other words, Miami Beach was going to have to deal with increasing flooding from their 'king tides', with or without carbon dioxide emissions. 8
Gore misleads the world and promotes falsehood as science
In simple words, Gore misleads the world and promotes falsehood as science, and he continues to do so while profiting from a renewable industry that is sold as the cure for global warming. Yet, he himself generates carbon dioxide emissions many times higher than an average family. 9
Gore is doing extremely well with his investment firms. A recent example:
His firm raised $55 million in financing for the electric battery company in 2017. He spoke with Joe Biden to lobby the White House on keeping climate policy as a focus of his infrastructure proposal, which is expected to include major subsidies for green energy companies like Proterra. Gore's lobbying efforts came at a crucial moment for Proterra, one of his investment firm's major green energy investments. Proterra began trading publicly on NASDAQ. 10
