Gore Offers To Work With Trump On Climate

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach

Man, there is just no end to Gore’s hubris. From his website, which I’ll pass on linking to for obvious reasons …

Last night President-elect Trump said he wanted to be a president for all Americans. In that spirit, I hope that he will work with the overwhelming majority of us who believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation.

I wish him well in these efforts and intend to do everything I can to work with him and his administration to ensure that our nation remains a leader in the global effort to meet this challenge. Moreover, there is reason to believe that it is not naive or Pollyannaish to hope for more than what we fear.

al-gore

Despite his generous offer, I don’t think the White House will be calling him soon …

“I hope that he will work with the overwhelming majority of us who believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation.”
No, I think you’re all simply misinterpreting his intent. This is a desperate plea for help to be straightened out on the science. /s

Leftist: politicians, crony crapitalists, grant-grubbing “scientists”. and NGOs are absolutely terrified the CAGW scam they’ve so meticulously concocted is imploding, along with their fame and fortunes…
After decades of calling skeptics every vile name in the book, now they wish to be conciliatory.
Not so much.
Bad decisions, bad science and good election results have consequences.
Leftists need to deal with it…

Its ok to use the word “communist” or the like.
Thats what these people are.
They are not “progressives”, they are not “liberals” they want to rule the country and the world with most of us being treated as serfs or indentured laborers.

“I hope that he will work with the overwhelming majority of us who believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation.”
Sure, Al. That’s why Hillary won by an “overwhelming majority”.
The greatest threat our nation and The Constitution and Bill of Rights faced this election was if Hillary had won.

Once Trump has been briefed by the experts in the Pentagon and the US Department of Defense on the real risk to national security from AGW watch him pack peddle on his promises. Trump is going to have one heck of a reality check over the next few months….

You have won this month’s dumbest post award.
O’Bummer, the Commander In Chief, wanted the armed forces to promote climate change. Good soldiers obey even bad orders. Even embarrassing orders. Believe me, Martin, Trump will get no briefing about the “real risk to national security from AGW”. The military knows AGW doesn’t exist.

Martin, what on earth is ” the real risk to national security from AGW” that you are so convinced of? From my POV, the real risk is the measures being taken to ‘combat’ it. Like forcing the USN to fuel its ships with bio-fuel. Will the tanks have to be carbon-neutral? AGW is a means to an end: the end being the emasculation of our forces.

Obviously Martin has not had his reality check yet. There is no national security risk from CAGW, it was a scam to waste military budget on a something that makes no sense at all.

A year ago i said that I thought that Al Gore could see the handwriting on the wall and was slowly going to distance himself from the climate war — sort of an old soldier just fading away — before the surrender and war crime trials.
I was wrong. Al Gore feels so self-important that he thinks Trump will actually invite him to the White House and listen in awe to his bullshit. Whatever smarts Gore once had he has obviously lost. He seems the poster boy for self-destructive ego-mania.
Thank you Willis for posting this.

Gore was IMO just being sarcastic in response to a tempting “peg.” If one of us had done it in response to an invitation from Obama, say, we’d see this.

Just last spring AlGore granted an audience with a believer at WIRED – it’s an interview in which Al holds forth on his views of the future. Interesting to read in his own words…
https://www.wired.com/2016/05/wired-al-gore-climate-change
Wired:”So, looking toward the future, what do you think will happen to the climate conversation under the next administration?”
Gore: “Whoever becomes president, whatever party controls the White House and Congress, the fact that renewable energy is now getting cheaper than fossil fuel energy will shape choices and policies. The difference would be how quickly the change will take place.”
Really?!

Al Gore is not a climate scientists but rather a salesman politician and con artist. The reality is that the climate change we have been experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans over which Mankind has no control. There is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate and plenty of scientific rational to support the idea that the climate sensitivity of CO2 is zero. For example, if CO2 really affected climate then the increase in CO2 over the past 30 years should have caused a measurable increase in the dry lapse rate in the troposphere but such has not happened. Fundamental to the AGW conjecture is a radiant greenhouse effect caused by gasses with LWIR absorption bands but there is no evidence of such an effect on Earth or on any planet in the solar system. There are many good reasons to be conserving on the use of fossil fuels but climate change is not one of them.

My first reaction was, Bwahahahaha! And then, when I read:

I hope that he will work with the overwhelming majority of us who believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation.

I wondered just how he was able to test that ‘majority’. I just trust and hope that Trump will not back-track on his AGW plans with Ebell as he seems to be doing with Obamacare.
PS: Willis (if you’re reading) I have failed to find your wonderful essay on free trade which you wrote earlier this year(?). Any chance you can point me to it? TIA

Gore is merely being disingenuous with his “offer”, which actually contains lies couched within lies, which is the typical Warmunist tactic. He used Trump’s words, and twisted them to his own ends. Nothing more than a ploy by a serial liar, ginormous hypocrite who has profited mightily from those lies, and a puffed-up, pompous ass.

Hey Griff, Al and the others you reference should be represented in exactly the same way that Anthony and all the rest of us here have been “represented” for the last 8 years by Obama and his crowd.

We all in the West need, as a matter of fundamental urgency, to put measures in place so that it is impossible for science to get hijacked by politics ever again in the way it has over previous decades through the grotesque vector of voodoo climate pseudoscience.
