Al Gore Hits Obama for Not Acting on Global Warming: ‘We Cannot Have 4 More Years of Mentioning This Occasionally’

Getty Images
Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday knocked President Barack Obama — his fellow Democrat — for not doing enough to combat climate change, saying “we cannot have four more years” of the same.
“I deeply respect our president and I’m grateful for the steps that he has taken, but we cannot have four more years of mentioning this occasionally and saying it’s too bad Congress can’t act,” Gore told the New York League of Conservation Voters.
Gore praised New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — whose city was slammed by Hurricane Sandy — for “leading this effort,” but said it was imperative to “take steps to reduce the chance that even worse impacts [than Sandy] will happen in the future.”
“This storm was related to global warming,” Gore said. “The scientists used to say some years ago that you can’t blame any single extreme weather event on climate. Now many of the leaders…are saying no, we’ve gone beyond that now, it’s gotten too far.”
He continued, “We’re putting 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every single day, spewing it up there as if the atmosphere of the planet is an open sewer — free to use, free of charge, just put as much junk up there are you want to, notwithstanding the fact that it is causing these extreme weather events. Dirty energy causes dirty weather and we have to come to our senses and do something about it.”
Asking “what will it take for the national government to wake up” as Bloomberg has, Gore said America’s democracy “has been hacked” by “large carbon polluters” who essentially control members of Congress on the issue.
“We need leadership in the executive branch as well,” Gore said. “I know how tough it is — [Obama's] done more in his first four years than any other administration has ever done and I respect that and acknowledge that, but the time has long since passed for us to get moving. This country is the only nation that can provide global leadership, and the dysfunctional governance globally is directly related to the dysfunction of the government here in our own country.”

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 8:10pmAccording to the Mayan calendar prophesy the end of the current age is December 23, 2012. This will be when the new age is supposed to begin with major earthquakes, volcanism, and the world will go into a warmer period, which it had done repeatedly in the past. Will it happen? We’ll see.
But the important data is that the world has repeatedly gotten colder, and warmer.
This has nothing to do with man. Al and the little communist are both major “investors” (crooks) in the carbon exchange. They figure they can rip Americans off for a few billion every year. I figure it’s past time to bring the Smithsonian’s guillotine out and dust it off.

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 8:30pmI would approve of bringing back the use of frontal [icepick] lobotomy especially for Al Gore.
The world would be a better place if he was reduced to the capacity of a turnip.

Late 1980″s—There is a hole in the ozone layer and it will kill us all.
Early 1990′s—Global warming gonna get ya. Only have 5 years to stop it. It’s mean old man’s fault.
Mid 1990′s–The SUV causes global warming. Only have 5 years to save the world.
Late 1990′s–The science is settled. Man is killing mother earth with it’s fossil fuels. We’re dead in 5.
Early 2000′s–C02 is the cause. And cows. We will all catch fire in 5 years if we don’t start jogging.
Mid 2000′s—Now we call it global climate change. Still man’s fault, got 5 years to reverse it.
Late 2000′s–Uh oh. Fudged data, we have actually been cooling. Still mans fault, dead in 5.
Early 2010′s—Cooling or warming, no matter the C02 level it’s still mans fault, still dead in 5.
And we find out that just below the earth’s surface it’s shockingly several million degree’s. And it’s mans fault. Dead in 5.
What would we do without Nobel prize Al Gore. We would never have realized that we’re all dead in 5 years….20 years ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~
What he doesn’t tell you is that they (his puppetmasters) are spraying 20 Million TONS of Aluminum in
our atmosphere to combat global warming. They call it “Geoengineering”.
They say that by filling the atmosphere with Aluminum, Barium, strontium and other toxins, that it is blocking the sun that reaches earth.
These SOBS are commiting ASSAULT !!!!
They prime the atmosphere with metals so that their big microwave machine that can heat the uppermost layer of our atmosphere to 100 degrees fahrenheit is more efficient.
It is called HAARP – High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project.
This can be used to steer the jetstreams.

Posted on December 7, 2012 at 10:22pmi believe the only time gore shows any signs of life [from his typical totem-like demeanor] is when anyone dares to blaspheme the Green goddess by not getting worked up enough over ‘climate change’ or whatever the Greenies call it this week. its all a hoax, like much of the PC laundry list of sacred cows and gore cannot deal with reality. no wonder even tipper’s bailing out on him. gore invented the internet, remember? but really, go easy and pity the fanatical sucker. when the climate hoax is officially debunked, then he will hang himself. between you and me, though, i do suspect the old boy’s throwing his hat into the ring for 2016. too bad rainforest trees cannot vote.

Do you see whats going on here? Everyone with a real brain knows weather events are ACTS OF GOD.
But progressive/atheist radical wing-dings want God erased. They promote themselves as gods with the answers to all man’s problems.
Everything that is happening right now is interconnected. Thats why they’re trying to eradicate everything religious now.

Posted on December 7, 2012 at 12:17pmGore makes carnavel barkers look respectable. His closest association with the carvavel is in his thinking. He subscribes to P.T. Barnum’s saying: “there’s a sucker born every minute,” which is sometimes thought to have been said by another famous con artist Joe Bessimer. It doesn’t matter who came up with it, Owl now owns the saying. In Owl’s world, for those who don’t qualify as suckers to his BS, he uses his influence to have his crap force fed.
In short Owl Bore is a swindler and a huge one at that. He needs to be challenged, sued, stripped of his ill gotten gains, thrown in jail for his lying, cheating, stealing and stinking up the environment. Where is the Occupy crowd when you need them? They’re going after the wrong people. This fruitcake is having an impact on how we live, how we’re taxed, our freedoms. The Occupiers should show up at his palatial Montecito estate, burn it down then run him out of this country on a tramp steamer after they’ve decorated him in tar and feathers.
While Owl is laughable, he’s laughing at us all, while on his way to the bank.

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 8:03pmGore’s invested a lot of money in carbon credit exchanges. And, darn, he was so close to collecting wads of money. But alas, people came forth with questions, followed by skepticism. What a nerve. Now he’s afraid he might die before the whole thing pays off. You folks gotta buy this ointment that cures everything right now. It’s a limited time offer.
Right. We all know Al Gore will be back with the same phony sales pitch tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

Posted on December 6, 2012 at 7:54pm“we cannot have four more years of mentioning this occasionally” Global warming is all about government control, not about protecting the environment. This is a backhanded way to eventually tax all of us for breathing. First off Al Gore (POS) does not own the air to sell it (carbon credits). If he cared so much about the environment he would walk the walk, not talk the talk. His carbon foot print is HUGE. He wants us to walk to work and live in a shack so he can fly around in his jet and live in a mansion.
My dad told me about a comic book (Orphan Annie ? ) that was out in the the 1940′s that was making fun of an air tax. Who would have thought that 60 years later this joke would become a reality.
