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.
Robb876,
Anthony doesn’t confuse weather and climate. He comments on weather events because that is relevant to this site, as you can read on the mast head.

You have it backwards. Climate doesn’t control anything. Climate is simply average weather. If there are lots of eg floods they will eventually show up in the climate as a change in rainfall (not necessarily at the place where the floods happen).
What a shock, who would have thunk Albert Gore was a Neo Malthusian?
algore is correct in that the way to limit the population of any species is to kill the females.
It works for deer, bear, coyotes, and multiple other species.
Earlier, the Millenium Bug Hoax …
Then, the Global Warming Hoax …
And now, Birth Control … What’s he up to now then? (Bilderberg?)
Something more …?
Isn’t fraud illegal anymore?

I’m sure you meant to say something intelligent and interesting. Please go to the top of the page and under Watts Up With That? (black on white) read what it says after the word Commentary (white on black). Then return and try again. Did you not know that folks like to talk about the weather? That is why hitching posts were invented. And saloons, water coolers, park benches, stop lights and stop signs, the telephone, the internet, blogs, and coffee, hot chocolate, . . .
Not interested in Al Gore enough to watch the videos. These people have fallen so hard so fast.
Excuse me, but exactly how much credibility does Gore have left with women, anyway?

I find myself not entirely unsympathetic to Gore’s arguments. As Dr. Dave says, ” decrease poverty, provide abundant, affordable electricity and enhance education”. These are the drivers for population control. Not quite what Gore said, but something of the ilk.
Gore has, I think, good anecdotal arguments for a changed climate. However, these are short term events–more weather than climate. But at least he has some arguments.
Alan Grayson channeling the Green Lantern today too. Awesome Crazy…

What scares me is the number of people that actually voted for this twit.

Now we know why Dr. Al-Mengele is retreating from AGW into his bunker.

“Hopes fading for climate agreement ”
“Ask for a camel when you expect to get a goat,” runs a Somali saying that sums up the fading of ambitions for United Nations talks on slowing climate change — aim high, but settle for far less.
Developing nations publicly insist the rich must agree far deeper cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, but increasingly believe that only a weaker deal can actually be achieved to keep the existing Kyoto Protocol, or parts of it, alive beyond 2012.
“They have to ask for a camel … but will settle for a goat,” Mohamed Adow, of Christian Aid, said of poor nations’ strategy at a just-ended session of 180 nations in Bonn.
Hopes for a treaty have dimmed since U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders failed to agree a binding pact at a summit in Copenhagen in 2009.
Rich economies are reluctant to make substantial cuts in their emissions beyond 2012 without commitments from big developing economies like China and India to also curb their fast-rising emissions.
At issue now is what can be salvaged from the talks.
“This process is dead in the water,” said Yvo de Boer, the former head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat who stepped down last year to work at KPMG, a consultancy and auditing firm.
“It’s not going anywhere,” he said during the June 6-17 talks in Bonn among negotiators trying to avert more heatwaves, floods, droughts and rising sea levels.”

There is something wrong with most any woman that listens to Al “touch my chakra” Gore.
But what is it with it women looking to be empowered, flocking to listen to an obvious manBearPig?
In video 2 the goracle says most of Colombia has been under water for the last year. That just cant be true.

I thought population in the ‘western world’ was already in decline.!? Who does he think should go first?
When a free people want advice they will ask for it. I don’t recall there being a demand for Al Gore to give advice to anyone on family matters. Besides it is none of his business how many kids a family should want or have.
just love the “dressed in black” look (high water anticipated by Al?)
So, this seminary dropout is proposing eugenics? VERY Christian. One of the interesting side stories to me about this whole environmental cause is that although many Christian groups are getting involved in the whole “save the Earth” campaign (rather than save your soul!- imagine that! Christianity without personal overhaul – VERY interesting!) – but the thing is that the Save the Earth ideology invariably involves population control, which invariably involves eugenics. Eugenics has a lot of great references as a practice, let’s see – Nazi Germany, Chinese Communism, Some really wackadoo groups in the USA, and any other group that has either tried to create a master race or to breed infirmity or inferiority out of the Human species. And AGW walks with this idea hand-in-hand. The more I read and research this topic, the more I see how dangerous it is on social and religious levels. I am not trying to proselytize here, but if you happen to be a Christian believer, eugenics is historically verboten! (That’s forbidden, for those who don’t know German) – and this whole save the earth campaign is a massively powerful and insidious attack against the Church. Try that on for size, if no one has thought about that….
Al Gore’s extreme weather comments sound exactly like what people said of the Dust Bowl 1930’s and entering the LIA. Exception is they did not ignore the harsh winters and the ice & snow storms like Al Gore does.
I did a quick calculation to see how much space the world’s population would take up if they all stood side-by-side. Take a population of 6 billion, multiply by 3sq ft (space for them to stand) divide by 43560 (# of sq ft in an acre) then divide by 640 (number of acres in a sq mile) and it would only take 646 sq miles to hold the earth’s population.
Makes the over population argument seem a little silly.
Agree with your sentiments 100% Disagree with the use of the word earn though. Maybe filches instead?
In Western countries, girls and women have as much access to education as men. Admittedly, the quality of this education is often more than dubious — the very idea of “education” has been subverted by the wannabe bismarcks of Al Gore’s totalitarian persuasion — but boys and men are no less suffering from public education and tenured professors than girls and women. No discrimination there.
Why, then, ex-vice-president Gore thinks women would need an extra help? Because he thinks women are stupid? His former boss, Bill Clinton, was of the same opinion. Almost got him impeached, if I recall correctly.
Unless you’re the one in the middle.
Actually I find little exercises such as yours silly. Are you going to volunteer to live in a 500 sf apartment with 50 people? Didn’t think so.
What a moroon….
