Al Gore endorses a fictional penguin for Congress (yes, really)

As if the left couldn’t possibly become anymore absurd after the Kavanaugh hearings, we have Al Gore leading the way. Video follows.

On Tuesday, Mr. Gore released a video formally endorsing a surprising candidate for Congress: a penguin.

Yes, you read that right. In a video he posted to Twitter, Gore stared awkwardly into the camera while delivering his classic robot-like monologue supporting a fictional cold-weather bird in the upcoming mid-term elections.

Here is his video, endorsing the penguin:

It’s just another climate oriented PR stunt by Gore. He apparently spent some big coin to have this video produced, which can be found at the earthforamerica.com website:

Let’s play along; here’s some fictional Penguins in their natural habitat: Photoshop:

I didn’t know Gore was released from the Home for Twits. I wonder if it’s permanent or on a day pass basis?

One of the main problems is that some enthusiastic people have absolutely zero grasp of the reality of trying to replace the level of comfort and convenience to which they are accustomed because of fossil-fuel energy, .. replace that with an equivalent level of comfort and convenience using wind and solar energy.

These people only see the words, “wind” and “solar”, used in association with some imagined scenario, where they ignorantly imagine that an equivalent transition is possible, when, by all accounts that I have read, such a transition is technologically IMPOSSIBLE, given the current mechanisms by which wind and solar energy could be produced.

Seeing this reality requires a considerable intellectual investment in looking at the numbers, which most of these people seem to lack any commitment to doing. Hence, they speak from their ignorant, child-like fantasies.

The scary thing is that these ignorant, child-like fantasies are being allowed to stand as practical, functioning alternatives. These fantasies are being allowed to stand by media writers who are equally ignorant and child-like in their reporting of information.

Somewhere there is a vast failing of the educational system to teach children and adults what reality they are living in. This is the real crisis.

Is Tipper still afraid to write the tell all book?

“Approved by Earth”

Yet more evidence how modern enviromentalism has morphed into a religion. “God told me to do it” has always been a favored way to justify doing bad stuff by religious fanatics. Want to kill unbelievers, or steal other people’s stuff and control their lives? Tell that god commanded you do it. Who would want to disagree with god after all? Want to win an election? Tell that the Planet supports you and if you don’t get elected the Planet dies. Who in their right mind would want to destroy their planet anyway?

Of course the obvious problem is that you can claim pretty much anything with this logic. These kind of tactics need to be ridiculed and condemned.

The recent split of Kleiner Perkins VC, one of Gore’s cash lines, may be the reason to the “Tux” candidate as a GoFundMe mascot for Gore to fraud some cash from people.

Only if the penquin gets a fictional vote.

A refresh on the mascot . Sorry Polar bears your growing population is too easy to count and you just don’t look good chowing down on poor little seals . Time for a new campaign mascot and maybe a movie .
Al Gore wouldn’t last 10 minutes in Antarctica visiting his new mascot . – 43 F just isn’t fun and it’s a F of a long way from melting .

Probably the very same penguin from “the wrong trousers.”

I did wonder just how long it would take for Gore to make a complete =SS of himself in public.

It’s what – 4 years now? 5 years?

Thanks for the article, Anthony. I know people who will get a tremendous kick out of it.

What the ….. ?
Truly unbelievable, okay not really.
Al Gore is such an incredible fraud. After his “predictions” in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ have been completely laid waste as complete “quackery”, here he is trying to con another generation of Western peoples — likely targeting 15 year-olds with this crap.
Maybe they will grow up and vote democrat so they can help Uncle Al save the world.
Critical thinking skills are essential to a prosperous society, but Al Gore wants people to take his word for it.
People, people……. Al Gore is a con-man — who of course, would like you to believe that he invented the internet.
Stop the madness — and the mad-men, and mad-women.

Hey Al Gore! HANDS OFF OUR PENGUINS. You keep to your roly poly bears and Leave Our Penguins Alone.
You can’t have any for your Congress, because they are native to my Southern Hemisphere and some are Native to MY country .

Member of Congress is not a Good or Sufficient Reason for an application for an Export Permit to be successful. It would be adjudged Cruel and Unusual Treatment.

Because they are not and never can be US citizens, they can’t serve in your Congress, not even the Gore OurRageous Experiment one. Try and they would be impeached and all Export Permits withdrawn. Instantly
