From EcoWatch:
For the third time in the last few years, Al Gore, founder and chairman of the Climate Reality Project, spoke at the festival on Friday. Naturally, his interactive discussion focused on addressing the climate crisis. The former vice president focused on the need to “punish climate-change deniers, saying politicians should pay a price for rejecting ‘accepted science,’” said the Chicago Tribune.
Gore said forward-thinking investors are moving away from companies that invest in fossil fuels and towards companies investing in renewable energy. “We need to put a price on carbon to accelerate these market trends,” Gore told the Chicago Tribune, referring to a proposed federal cap-and-trade system that would penalize companies that exceeded their carbon-emission limits. “And in order to do that, we need to put a price on denial in politics.”
He called on the tech-minded SXSW crowd, which is dominated by Millenials, to harness technology to launch a grassroots movement to tackle climate change and call out climate deniers. “We have this denial industry cranked up constantly,” Gore said. “In addition to 99 percent of the scientists and all the professional scientific organizations, now Mother Nature is weighing in.”
Years from now, Gore said the next generation will look back at us and ask: “How did you change?,” according to Macworld. “Part of the answer may well be that a group of people came to South by Southwest in Austin, Texas in 2015 and helped to make a revolution,” Gore said.
Gore wanted these young, tech-savvy attendees to start a grassroots movement using social media like they did when “net neutrality was threatened or when the Stop Online Piracy Act threatened to blacklist websites that offered so-called illegal content,” said Macworld. That means signing petitions to fight climate change, utilizing social media to call out climate deniers in Congress and streaming the Live Earth Road to Paris concert on June 18, an event designed to draw attention to the climate talks in Paris this December.
The former Veep even gave a nod to Pope Francis during his talk, showing a slide of the pontiff and saying “How about this Pope?” Pope Francis celebrated his two-year anniversary as Pope on Friday, riding a wave of popularity “that has reinvigorated the Catholic Church in ways not seen since the days of St. John Paul II,” said the Chicago Tribune. Gore said he was looking forward to the Pope’s highly anticipated encyclical on the environment which is due to be released in June or July. “I’m not a Catholic,” Gore said, “but I could be persuaded to become one.”
Mr Mega bucks Al Gore seeks to back up lies
over global warming by locking up all the opposition.
ie anyone who could call him out on his lying he
wants to give life long sentences until they
repent.
In the past folk might have been burnt at the
stake for predicting the weather. But for
Al Gore he wants to send to hell all those
who don’t predict the weather.
Everyone must pass through some so called truth
filter, questioning and if they don’t agree
that Gore is right even if they know nothing about
the subject then Gore wants to send them to
the gas chambers.
This strange behaviour from the eco nazi Gore
is all the more strange as he himself has
got weather predictions wrong, like his
7 foot sea level rise.
And if we’re talking about the science is all
in and getting things a 100 percent right,
then a recent paper about solar zenith calculations
should send most weather scientists to jail for
being wrong.
But the absurdity doesn’t end there. Gore, a religious
nut with religious zealot like solutions doesn’t apply this
same logic to his own unproven god. And seeing as
he is denying the science on God, shouldn’t he be
locking himself up, and everyone who ‘believes’
in a god?
Now is there anyone still left in any doubt
that they are following a religion and the
rich prophet Al Gore?
Clearly no real science came come from such
a climate of fear. That the hysterical propagate.
Hi Big Al, I’m a denier, so how about you fly in on your private jet and try and punish me. Come armed.
Prepping the public for a Gore presidency?

And Paul Watson will be his running-mate?
Methinks….!
Yuck! It is embarrassing to remember myself watching and believing his movie!
If he’s talking to the tech savvy and they’re buying it, the “savvy” part left the room. Elmer Gantry on stilts.
The ‘tech culture’ lacks sufficient female membership to reproduce itself. Al Gore ‘works’ in this setting, in significant part thanks to its massively-distorted gender-distribution.
This is indeed a ‘tragedy’ for the tech-world … even well-funded tech-entities that can throw serious money at female workers and attract more than their share, suffer from ridiculous gender (and race) imbalances.
Girls tend to dislike Al Gore a lot more than boys … their antipathy approaching revulsion.
Biden, Gore! Moar in four! USA! USA! USA!
I’d vote for that, the dissolution of the Untied States would be worth a Mass.
(Or as Gandalf would put it, there are fouler creatures than Orcs, in the deep.)
Pray enlighten the unacronmyied , Single Chromosome Short Wits?
Even worse. It’s just an art, music, film festival thing.

I have a comment on the sign Al Gore is holding in the cartoon, “The sky is falling.”
Of course it’s falling. It’s always falling. If it wasn’t falling, it would float off into space and that would be a really, really bad thing.
Right, we should all follow a known sexual predator, whose wife left him as a result, in his mad dash into false science and oblivion.
Is he actually saying that people should be jailed, fined or otherwise punished in the courts for stating their beliefs? I was unable to determine that.
Gore has become a mostly irrelevant gas bag, pandering to a smaller and smaller audience. He doesn’t deserve this much attention.
So – if the President had dropped down dead – you guys would have got……. HIM..??
Carbon credits are falling with the temperatures, the real temperatures and not the ones the tech savvy crowd are making. Along with his uncanny ability to invent the internet, who would have thought? He’s losing money. Of course we should be punished… Let’s get those carbon credits back up to $35. The upkeep on the house he bought at the beach back in the early 2000’s is being swamped by rising sea levels. No? … Just us poor, stupid flat earthers, wouldn’t know which end of smart phone to talk into… I’m sure dear al would like to keep us poor, (mostly poor, how else can you be rich)) and ignorant (swallow any tale told) we’re doing this for your own good … and the official reports say so. How dare we question officialdom!!!!! The Holy Father of AGW has SPOKEN!!!
gore has made a living goring and boring us with this stuff.
I actually thought the alarmists were right and reflecting the science until I watched gores movie, knew many things claimed were false, then went in for further study.
As a Millennial I’m often surprised at just how many people in my generation who grew up steeped in an education system loaded full of crap like this think it’s nonsense at worst and exaggerated at best. I suspect these out of touch politicians aren’t aware of just how skeptical a generation of people are. But given that Gore and his ilk only seem to care what we think when it comes to the environment it doesn’t surprise me that their selective hearing has them way off base.
the young are not as naïve as the think. after generations of lies the no longer belive just nod and say yes
Come and get some Al, you big fag !
[mod] attention. delete this too.
The first day of spring.

Al Gore should explain how he proposes to punish people that don’t share his perspective .Over 30,000 scientists signed the Oregon Petition ,9000 with PhD’s , and they don’t share his perspective .
How exactly does he propose to punish people and who is he threating to punish ?
Should people that lie to children in movies being presented as fact also be punished ?
Algoreium- a noxious, hot ignoble gas; Atomic Weight of at least 300 lbs and growing; known to readily combine with ozone and carbon dioxide to form gases that have been proven toxic to freedom and truth. Persons in proximity to this gas have been known to experience perverted levels of sexual harassment as well as climatic hallucinations. While limited in quantity, the media feedbacks resulting from outgassing of Algoreium amplify its effects at inexplicably exponential levels.
I would agree with him on the condition that the science is examined by outsiders and unless proven to meet the normal quality conditions for life critical applications the climate scientist get an punishmen that is at least ten times as high, this should possibly include manslaughter charges for the deaths from fuel poverty in the UK.
Here’ s video with an Al Gore segment from, of all places(!), The Global Warming Policy Forum, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Global Warming Policy Foundation – http://www.thegwpf.com/24007/#sthash.oGwPiwWH. “Polar Ice Caps More Stable Than Predicted.” Good news, folks!
Al Gore is just embarrassed that his predictions aren’t playing out as he said, so he wants to shut up everyone (even scientists that WERE on his side, but are working to be SCIENTIFIC and keep up with the FACTS). Witness the wrath of a man who had power and adulation and is losing it. Very dangerous.
