Al Gore branches out into population control theory

Not content to make a fool of himself confusing weather and climate, Al has now decided to lecture empower women on how to reduce the population for the benefit of the planet. Watch the video below, now we know why he doesn’t allow recordings of his lectures. Darn those Flip Video Cameras.

Al Gore How Empowering Women Fights Climate Change

And here is his wisdom of weather and climate

Al Gore Talks Extreme Weather, Climate

Recorded June 20th by Brian Merchant, hat tip to Chris Horner.

UPDATE: Tom Nelson on his blog points out the bottled water next to Gore.

Flashback: Pour the bottled-water trend down the drain

it’s time for those of us who care about the environment and are concerned about global warming to stop buying and drinking bottled water.

2007: Bottled Water Ban Not Enough

Following the radically liberal traditions of San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom banned municipal departments from purchasing bottled water, even for water coolers.

Seems we have been told that a warmer world would lead to increased likelihood of major floods and draughts

Yeah, the draughts help cool us down again.
Did you hear the one about the guy carrying the cardoor through the desert?
He said it was so he could wind the window down when he got hot…

“Dr. Dave says:
June 21, 2011 at 2:51 pm
The best way to control population is to decrease poverty, provide abundant, affordable electricity and enhance education. It works like a charm everywhere it has been tried…”
I agree,
but having a well educated population would not be in the self serving interest of Al Gore and the rest of these popularized modern megalomaniacs because very fue educated people would believe a word they uttered.
There are too many political figures, royalty etc.. on the world stage who are qualified in anthropology who love nothing more than to push their misanthropic Ideological beliefs on the uneducated, trusting and gullible public.
Last week I read about plans to reduce world population through vaccines, How does that work? are they actually calling the sterilization of millions of woman and children “a vaccine”? does this mean these nut jobs see babies as a disease or some kind of virus??
People should be allowed to control their own destiny and have the same freedoms and opportunities that has allowed this modern band or merry grim reapers to become wealthy and look down on the rest of mankind with utter contempt and disgust.

Show me one warmist prediction of increased flooding prior to 2005.

The ‘filter bubble’ is a sinister phenomenon. But Eli Pariser’s alternative sounds even worse.
That’s the title of an article I found today at the telegraph

In his new book, it is this world that Eli Pariser names the “filter bubble” – a place where a hidden code decides what you can and can’t see..

…and aimed directly at Facebook and Google for filtering our search:

to make sure that these algorithms have encoded in them a sense of the public life. A sense of civic responsibility. We need you to make sure that they’re transparent enough that we can see what the rules are that determine what gets through our filters. And we need you to give us some control so that we can decide what gets through and what doesn’t.

I imagine that without a choice to control what information we receive, I doubt we will find videos of this nature.
If Google, Facebook and Al Gore had their way.. they would spoon feed us all the alarmist crap known to man, and hide anything to the contrary.

What Gore means by “empower women” is propagandize them into drinking the Kool-Aid.

To empower educated, successful Western women how to commit demographic suicide.
THAAAAATS the ticket!
Speaking of bat s____ crazy freaks getting attention in the MSM, there have been an unusually high number of warmista pressos going out of late.
Meanwhile not a mention of the fall like cold front digging into the center of the country right now. Or of the fact that leaves are already starting to turn in Norcal. Sure we’re having a couple of summer like (well, really, spring like or fall like) days with an offshore. But it will be back to cold by the end of the week. Actually, that’s very fall like.

I’d be thinking about now that Generation Investment Management now has stock in Planned Parenthood…
Why should we be surprised? Every single thing Gore has advocated the general public to do, he’s done the opposite. He’s the quintessential hypocrite tent preacher/snake oil salesman.

Seems we have been told that a warmer world would lead to increased likelihood of major floods and draughts and we are now experiencing more of these in a warmer world. Climate effects weather events.

Show me your evidence that “we are now experiencing more of these in a warmer world. “? I assume you agree that we have had 30 odd years of global warming.

FLOODS
“Analysis of trends and of aggregated time series on climatic (30-year) scale does not indicate consistent trends worldwide. Despite common perception, in general, the detected trends are more negative (less intense floods in most recent years) than positive. Similarly, Svensson et al. (2005) and Di Baldassarre et al. (2010) did not find systematical change neither in flood increasing or decreasing numbers nor change in flood magnitudes in their analysis.”

STORM DAYS
“However, the global total number of storm days shows no trend and only an unexpected large amplitude fluctuation driven by El Niño-Southern Oscillation and PDO. The rising temperature of about 0.5°C in the tropics so far has not yet affected the global tropical storm days. ”

As for droughts try the biosphere has been greening. Maybe this is droughtflood parchedgreen. ;>)

Sceptical, read……..

“Fluctuations in some climate parameters”
“Here we report results on those parameters of which we have had experience during the last few years: Global surface temperature, Cloud Cover and the MODIS Liquid Cloud Fraction. In no case we have found indications that fluctuations of these parameters have increased with time.”
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jastp.2011.01.021

I assume you agree that we have had around 30 years of global warming. The hottest decade on the record.

The coded words of the eugenics masters, most people are not even smart enough to understand it or the concept. Kinda funny(not really) how open they have become with the concepts of reducing the population of useless eaters(us) and nobody stands up to them and asked the hard question about it.

Gore has 4 kids, but Suzuki has 5. Nyah, Nyah!

He had no choice but to branch out. AGW was not sustainable.
He’s not the first one to exand the horizons. Stephan Schneider was all sold on the Next Ice Age before AGW came along.
Ride the wave.

It took him a minute to say “have less children.” That’s something he should have no say in.

Now that Al is worried about excessive population, I wonder if he would reconsider building the fence along the Mexican border. After all, the USA has done its (Liberal? Modern?) duty and reduced its birthrate to below replacement. That happened more than forty years ago. Except for emigration, the population of the US would be roughly where it was in 1970.

Nice one Anthony… But are you not the guy who all winter long posts articles about snow storms and cold spells… In a single city??? Are you sure your qualified to make that statement?

What would Al Gore say if everyone had 4 kids like him? The Duke of Edinburgh goes on and on about overpopulation yet ignores the fact that he also has 4 kids who consume the world’s resources like there’s no tomorrow. Take Prince Charles who is very concerned about global warming. Now see how he lives with less: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riXrqyGrnCc

This is one reason Prince Charles is certain about man-made global warming – follow the money, lots of it each year.

Sssshhhh! Don’t stop him! Think about it: the more people are exposed to Gramscian indoctrination (ie college) the less they reproduce.
We should encourage this self-selection. We should be happy to see the Gaian secular aristocrats reproducing less. This will leave the rational and civilized people (ie serious Christians and Muslims) reproducing more.

The reason why these hypocrites want fewer people in the world is so that there will be more resources for them. Look at how Gore and the other Watermelons live.
