Gore pleads for unity on climate, despite divide
WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Al Gore, the leading American voice on climate change, urged lawmakers Friday to overcome partisan differences and take action to reduce greenhouse gases…”I wish I could find the words to get past the partisan divide that both sides have contributed to. … It shouldn’t be partisan.”
The man is shameless, among other things. Nobody has done more to poison the debate about the environment, its problems and potential solutions than Al Gore has. Actually, debate is not a word that should be used in association with Al Gore. The word that I should use is debase.
Let’s summarize
Gore calls global warming climate change a “social, moral and ethical issue”, yet it is one not worthy of debate? Al Gore, the man with all the answers, simply refuses to debate anyone with knowledge of climate issues. Don’t you find that curious? When asked to debate by Bjorn Lomborg, Gore replied,
“”I want to be polite to you. The scientific community has gone through this chapter and verse. We have long since passed the time when we should pretend this is a ‘on the one hand, on the other hand’ issue,” he said. “It’s not a matter of theory or conjecture, for goodness sake,” he added.
Tell me again who is “politcizing science”? Science is the process of discovery. It perverts science to claim that a debate about something as dynamic as the environment is “over”. Gore demonizes critics, calling them the modern day equivelent of ‘flat earthers’. He goes on 60 Minutes and equates those who question his world view with those who think the moon landing was staged.
Worse still, Gore attacks the character, integrity and reputations of his critics by saying they are “bought and paid for by the oil lobby”.
To conclude, Al Gore has done more than anyone alive to make the global warming climate change debate a nasty one. It is Al Gore who has done the demonizing, moralizing and vilifing in the name of global warming climate change.

Did you know that air-drying your clothes for 6 months saves 700 pounds of carbon dioxide?
