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 …

Al Gore, the poster boy for the definition of a pea-brained egotist.

About 30yrs ago, Larry O’Connor, owner of the the general store at Bearbrook, Ontario informed me that a farmer neighbor of mine, the late, great Bill Hamburg, had won the Nobel Prize. He said they found him out standing in his field. And that was when they gave out real NPs. Al’s prize is several rungs below those awarded in the fine product Cracker Jack(TM).

My son Doug just showed me a classic clip – Jonathan Pie on how “the left” caused the upset Trump victory

Wow! Thank you. I enjoyed that. 🙂

I enjoyed it as well, even if you left out all the profanity John Pie is actually dead on the mark. ( except for the Trump thing, I hope he’ll eat a bug on that one) No matter which way you look at it the point he made about discussing things on an adult basis and trying to come to mutual agreements is precisely where we need to go. Trump has always been a master negotiator, in that way he is exactly what Pie is asking for. Sorry Pie you actually got what you asked for.

The petard does the hoisting. It’s a small bomb from the same root as French ‘peter’ to fart.

At risk of Godwinning the tread up, Gore is beginning to resemble Hitler in the bunker in 1945. He knows the allies are entering his fortress city but is still delusional enough to think some phantom army is going to come and save him.
Either that or, like Hermann Göring, his galactic-sized ego fondly believes that even after all of his endless hideous war crimes he can simply do a deal with the allies because of who he is.
Sadly for you Al my friend – ze var is over – heh heh heh.

Gore’s offer of help, merely drives another nail into the coffin of CAGW.

Robert W Turner

He clearly misspoke. What he meant to say is, “I hope that he will work with the overwhelming majority of us, that are out of touch with reality, whom believe that the climate crisis is the greatest threat we face as a nation.”

And where is “The Environment” on the priority list of concerns to the average American voter? 13th. was it?

I’ve been conditioned to feel a sense of unease laughing at the discomfort of others. In this moment, and after this election I have finally been cured and have consequently enjoyed a long cathartic belly laugh at the expense of the Lefties, the Lefty Conversationalists and their tertiary institutions sucking on the teat of Leftist largesse with their safe spaces, the preoccupation with impoverishing the planet not saving it, George Soros and his henchmen and women, UN defined ‘climate change’, solar panels and windmills, the DEMS and their treasured, precious, delicate, victimized minorities, Holly Wood, which should be cut down and used as a renewable energy source at Drax since British power stations are handily burning wood from US forests – to meet renewables targets. It’s finally coming to a screeching halt. It’ll be utterly superb to see a scientific landscape populated by discussion founded in real science and genuine empirically based debate once again.

The reason for the tears, the reason why they are afraid, the reason why they make nice is simple. They judge us by their standards.

“the reason for the tears, the reason why they are afraid, the reason why they make nice is simple. They judge us by their standards.”
Yes, that *is* a brilliant comment. They think we are like they are. They are scared of themselves.
We are not like they are. When was the last time you saw the Right out tearing up the streets of the United States? Answer: Never.
The Left are the violent ones, as they are demonstrating daily now. Let’s hope all those confused people out there who don’t know which side to take, can see a little more clearly now.

Al Gore deserves no such consideration after spending a decade overtly abusing any American who wasn’t on board with his self-centered groupthink. How many times over the years did we see Gore and other Democrats, and the media pile on people who aren’t part of their groupthink, telling everyone in the world our voices should be ignored because we weren’t part of their groupthink? Treat him the same way please.
Gore’s present demand illustrates he’s a hypocrite and a narcissistic abuser, as he still wants and expects a different set of rules for himself than everyone else. Trump shouldn’t waste one second on Al Gore.
President Trump should establish a platform where a real public debate on the climate can happen, fairly.
That’s all we ever asked for before under Obama, and we were roundly and often told to piss off.
Al Gore, I have nothing but utter contempt for you. After all your years of suppressing skeptics and having the stage all to yourselves, I think DJ Trump will put you at the very bottom of a very long list of people far more deserving than you. You are nothing but a self-selected self-interested propagandist for stupidity.
Al Gore is going to learn the hard way like the rest of the warmists that it is sunspot activity after all…
Trump’s first term is all solar minimum, with solar cooling (from low TSI) already underway.
C/AGW is history.

I think AlGore is needed at the North Pole to help the freezing with the Gore effect. It has been rather warm the last weeks (-10 instead of -20C).
When he visited Antarctica in 2012 or so, it was colder than normal, so we heard very little of his trip.

Not only do I not believe that weather is the greatest crisis humans face, I believe it is well-established that Mr. Gore is a liar.
Kind of past the need to consider his hucksterism, as much money as it made him.
Unfortunately we’ve reached the stage where people believe whatever tribal nonsense they’re given, and just ordinary debunking is expected to be a full-time job.

The vertiginous sense of deja vu sometimes just overwhelms me. For those of you who were not around in 1980 when Reagan took office, the parallels are just mind-boggling.
In this specific case, Reagan came in declaring that there was no oil shortage, and the 55 mph speed limit, the 69 deg thermostat settings, and all the other hairshirt regulations that had been instituted to combat it were a bunch of hooey.
For this insult to the all-knowing, all-seeing class, he was widely derided and mercilessly mocked. The rest is history – 36 years later, we are swimming in an ocean of oil.

Gore is absolutely the LAST guy who Trump should “work with” in regard to climate. On the contrary, perhaps the DOJ should be investigating Gore.

The Swamp they talked about includes Gore . So he will see what inclusive means . Trump has real problems to address and other than charging the global warming industry for fraud.
Gore knows any remaining influence he may have had is over .
Having Gore campaign with Hillary was as stupid as the Deplorable attack on voters by Hillary . Bernie and others got it right .How could anyone screw this up so bad . Her $$billionaire backers should demand a refund .
Trump will make mistakes but he will never sell out the USA interests . The arrogant Democrats
choose to work for their billionaire donors instead of their blue collar base . Never ever underestimate your opponent . Trump didn’t win Hillary blew it .
Good riddance . Let’s see now how much influence peddling business the Clinton Foundation does .
The jig is up .

Gore must have some kind of an angle here that will allow him to get more money and buy bigger jets.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Trump should give him a job. Make him spokes person to report on the Science of Climate change, as per actual scientists. He could be responsible for press releases to the media, and communicate the message ” Good news folks…”
