There are plenty of theories about what led to the Brexit vote. Now, Al Gore, has a new one to add to the pile. The former vice president – who has been busy promoting his new film by labelling those who question him ’deniers’ – says the EU referendum result was brought about because of… climate change.
Gore suggested that the war in Syria was caused by ‘climate refugees’ flooding into the cities. This, in turn, by Gore’s version of events at least, kickstarted the wider refugee crisis – eventually leading Brits to vote out last June. Here’s what Gore told the New European:
‘Long before the civil war in Syria began from 2006 to 2010 80% of livestock were killed by the drought, 60% of farms were destroyed, 1.5 million climate refugees were driven into their cities where they collided with another 1.5 million from the Iraq War… And soon thereafter the civil war – which had other causes as well – erupted and opened the gates of hell, and the refugee crisis, which also had other causes, began to shake the foundations of the European experiment.
Of course there were many causes of Brexit, but one of them was this, and the most powerful ad in the campaign was that billboard showing the endless lines of refugees at the borders of Europe with the implicit message ‘do you want them coming here?’

All of the surveys done since the Brexit Referendum have shown that the key reason for the public voting to leave the EU was to restore sovereignty to the UK.
We have had enough of our laws made elsewhere. We have had enough of electing politicians who are then unable to make the 70% of our laws and policies dictated to us by the unelected and unaccountable in Brussels.
I have long believed that the EU is the ‘dry run’ for creating the unelected and unaccountable World Government that the UN and the Liberal Elite crave and are trying to create off the back of the climate change scare. The EU has rehearsed the mechanisms for removing true decision making from the nation state whilst leaving the appearance of democracy as a sop to the disenfranchised voter.
Returning to Al Gore it reminds me of the old joke about how do you know someone is lying and the answer to which is ‘their lips are moving’.
“Al Gore says Brexit was caused by… climate change” — Al Gore.
Absolutely correct. Day in day out, every hour on the hour Britain heard how the EU was going limit their lives with this or that and all because of climate change.
The British got pig-sick of it! And at the next opportunity voted YES to BREXIT and away from the EUs dumb Climate Change excuse for putting the shackles on its citizens.
Some truth to it.
I already feel sorry for Gore’s descendants. Decades from now, Al Gore will be embarrassingly synonymous with “Chicken Little” or “Henny Penny”.
He just keeps doubling down on his stupidity.
To our consternation it appears all he learned in divinity school was “How to Fleece the Flock”.
And Al Gore wonders why he has no credibility? What a shameless huchster and self-serving charlatan. The only warming comes from the hot air out of Al’s big mouth.

Al Gore describes the size of his ‘carbon footprint’.
As usual, he’s got it wrong.
The screen isn’t wide enough.
Al says this represents the length of the number of zeros behind the non-zero number behind the dollar sign on your energy bill due to (My) climate policies.
Nah, he’s just showing how long his nose grows to when he tells porkies!
But the climate change we have been experiencing is cauaed by the sun and the oceans over which Mankind has no control. So go ahead ahd litigate against Mother Nature for causing warms in the middle east. Lots of luck on collecting on a judgement.
The prospect of Al Gores lining up to enter any country is reason enough to explain a loud choking noise that can be heard far across the Atlantic ocean.
Climate change being blamed for ISIS, immigration, women forced to prostitution (resulting in more abortions), etc, are attempts at influencing people on the right. Not working.
I am surprised Al Gore hasn’t blamed man made up global warming on the Ruskies . They are blamed for everything else by Democrats .
Brexit was caused by climate change policy. According to a Lord Ashcroft poll study, 70% of leave voters ‘saw green measures as a force for ill’.
Seems to me drought and famine were endemic to Africa during the 70’s and 80’s when the planet was much cooler. Why is the drought in Syria blamed on global warming but the unprecedented crop yields around the world the last decade not?
Because he’s a hypocrite second, willingly ignorant second, and a money grubber first.
Only a dung beetle should be swallowing all the bullshit served up to it. This should be an Emperor’s new clothes moment. It is time to stand up to this BS peddler and call him out on his flagrant garbage. How lame is it that people are bullied in to silence (silence=consent) because they do not want to be labelled “deniers.”
Very similar to the “Emperor’s new clothes” tale-too similar.
Who shall be the one to prick the bubble of lies.
Sinclair Lewis had Al (Elmer Gantry) Gore pegged over ninety years ago.
Elmer Gantry is a satirical novel written by Sinclair Lewis in 1926 that presents aspects of the religious activity of America in fundamentalist and evangelistic circles and the attitudes of the 1920s public toward it. The novel’s protagonist, (the Reverend Dr. Elmer Gantry), is initially attracted by booze and easy money (though he eventually renounces tobacco and alcohol) and chasing women. After various forays into evangelism, he becomes a successful Methodist minister despite his hypocrisy and serial …

Albert Gore hasn’t been the same since the details of the Clinton scandal came to light. Albert always thought of himself as one of the good guys; always trying to do the right thing (as much as circumstances allowed). Then things changed … big Al changed.
To begin with, poor Al was always a bit self conscious … he had always known that he didn’t quite fit in anywhere, but he couldn’t figure out why. Albert carried himself well (he knew was of course from a good, strong family), but there was always an underlying insecurity that gnawed at him. And he didn’t know why.
Bill Clinton was too cool to be a friend. Even when Albert joked to Bill about his massage “victories”, the closeness & comradery that he hoped to elicit was still lacking. Bill would smile and slap him on the back, but Albert still felt like an outsider.
Then one day Albert saw buddy Bill Clinton, big-shot Jeff Epstein, and token Vernon Jordan standing together laughing/sniggering & smoking cigars. Big Albert, feeling overly confident for some explainable reason, walked up and said Hi. All three welcomed him with smiles and accepting laughter, and even though he missed the joke Albert joined in the laughter. Bill slapped him on the back and said “Hey Al, have a cigar”. Emboldened even further Albert chewed the crispy plastic wrapper off the cigar and told Bill to give him a light. Albert noticed how the other guys looked at him with joyful admiration. All in high spirits they finished the cigars, joking, laughing, all together. For once Albert felt like one of the guys.
Then, less than a month later Albert Gore heard the Monica news, and all the lurid cigar details. “Damn”, he thought, “They never liked me. They were all laughing at me. Bill is an asshole. No one ever has liked me.”
That was the moment Albert went over to the dark side. He never again cared about being one of the good guys … always trying to do the right thing. Circumstances be damned, everyone be damned. Big Al changed; all because of one slightly used cigar and the joker that gave it to him.
I’m a bit surprised he hasn’t blamed his failed run for president on Global Warming. Chad is an oil rich nation. If they hadn’t hung back….
(Yes, I know foreign donations in US elections are illegal, but that never stopped the Clintons. Just don’t make them “overt”.)
We all laugh at how stupid we think Gore is. Of course, the agenda that he’s pushing is, I believe, going to one day be looked at as one of the greatest scams perpetrated on the gullible. He knows this though, but it is the vehicle that has enabled him to accumulate many hundreds of millions (and many others behind this agenda). The Chicago Climate exchange alone likely made more millionaires than we can imagine. Gore is the typical career politician and saw an amazing opportunity to enrich himself. One only has to become familiar with Maurice Strong to understand that C02 was the vehicle to push an agenda.
The drought actually lasted from 2006-2009. Gore has gotten his facts wrong – AGAIN
The drying up of the rivers is directly attribted to the enormous increase in the number of wells dug for irrigation and teh subsequent withdrawl of vast amounts of water (232 in 1984 going to 2,391 in 2006)
He is a total stacker
I’ve eaten more intelligent donuts.
“These things have been caused by reason A, but they have also been caused by B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X, Y, Z and the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10. We MUST do something about A, and you can start by reading my book and watching my movie”
Once a tougher, always a trougher.
Here’s this week’s ridiculous climate-change claim:
