Al Gore, Climate Activists Use Louisiana Floods To Push Narrative Without Evidence Of Link

August 25, 2016 Al Gore , Climate Activists Use Louisiana Floods To Push Narrative Without Evidence Of Link 0 Comments


By Washington Times, Aug 22, 2016 

Few would be surprised if President Obama took aim at climate change during his visit Tuesday to survey the Louisiana flooding, which is why global warming skeptics are already raining on his parade.

The climate blame began in earnest last week with former Vice President Al Gore, who described the deluge as an example of “one of the manifestations of climate change.” Those remarks were followed by a rash of supportive articles.

“Flooding in the South looks a lot like climate change,” said an Aug. 16 headline on an article in The New York Times.

Gore Calls Arctic Drilling "Insane"

Al Gore Criticizes Obama On Climate Change And 'Insane' Arctic Drilling

By Suzanne Goldenberg , July 16, 2015
The Guardian

The former US vice-president and climate champion Al Gore has made a rare criticism of Barack Obama as Royal Dutch Shell prepares to drill an exploratory well in the Arctic Ocean, denouncing the venture as “insane” and calling for a ban on all oil and gas activity in the polar region.

With Shell planning to begin drilling in the oil-rich Chukchi Sea within days, Gore said in an interview with the Guardian that Obama was wrong to ever allow drilling in the Arctic.

It was the only real point of criticism from Gore of Obama’s efforts to fight climate change, at home and through a global deal to be negotiated in Paris at the end of the year.

Mr. "Planet Has A Fever" Holds Back

Al Gore: ‘Too Early’ To Back Hillary Clinton 

By Emily Smith, Jun. 26, 2015, Page Six

Al Gore declined to back Hillary Clinton for president when asked who he thinks would be next in the White House.

When questioned by WPP founder Sir Martin Sorrell at the Cannes Lions festival of creativity about whom he would back for 2016, Gore — Bill Clinton’s vice president from 1993 to 2001 —notably didn’t take the chance to praise Hillary.

In a packed Cannes Lions session Friday, Sorrell asked Gore, “Would you refuse to answer the question [who will be the next president of the United States]?”

Gore responded, “I wouldn’t refuse to answer that question, I would try to cleverly dodge the question … I would say it’s actually too early.”

Gore merely smiled, but didn’t comment further, after Sorrell added, “I think Hillary will win and it would be great to have a female president of the most powerful nation on the planet.”

Gore has reportedly had a complicated relationship with the Clintons since 2000. Political insiders speculate Gore may be remaining neutral for now but would eventually back the Democratic nominee.

Fighting over "dirty oil money," right Al?

Dispute Between AL Gore And Current TV To Go To Trial

By Randall Chase, Feb. 3, Associated Press

A trial will be needed to resolve a dispute between former Vice President Al Gore and Al Jazeera America over tens of millions of dollars held in escrow as part of the news network's $500 million acquisition of Current TV, a Delaware judge ruled Tuesday.

Attorneys for Gore and former Current Media CEO Joel Hyatt had urged Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock II to rule in their favor without a trial, saying Al Jazeera is not entitled to $65 million being held in escrow and that it should be returned to Current shareholders.

"The case should end now, not at trial," Attorney Greg Varallo told Glasscock.

The judge denied the motion, however, citing factual disputes regarding language in the merger agreement.

"It can be interpreted in two different ways," said Glasscock, who also said factual determinations will be needed on Al Jazeera's claims to the escrow money and whether its actions have prejudiced Gore and Hyatt.

Al Gore’s Movie Vs. The Brilliant ‘Climate Change Skeptic’ -- Who Wins?

November 08, 2014 Academia , Al Gore 2 Comments
Freeman Dyson, Professor of Physics
By Larry Elder, Apr. 20, 2014
This piece is about the power of the Axis of Indoctrination, which consists of Media, Academia and Hollywood. In this case, we focus on the power of Hollywood -- and how it not just reflects, but shapes perception and opinion on culture and politics.

We start with a man named Freeman Dyson. Who is Freeman Dyson? How smart is he? And why has this Obama-supporting liberal become one of the world’s leading “climate change skeptics”?

Here’s what The New York Times magazine said, in 2009, about this world-renowned physicist:

“Dyson is a scientist whose intelligence is revered by other scientists -- William Press, former deputy director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and now a professor of computer science at the University of Texas, calls him ‘infinitely smart.’ Dyson -- a mathematics prodigy who came to this country at 23 and right away contributed seminal work to physics by unifying quantum and electrodynamic theory -- not only did path-breaking science of his own; he also witnessed the development of modern physics, thinking alongside most of the luminous figures of the age, including Einstein, Richard Feynman, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Witten, the ‘high priest of string theory’ whose office at the institute is just across the hall from Dyson’s.”

You get the point.

At 90, Dyson’s mind remains vital. A few years ago, he began to examine the widely accepted notion that man-made “global warming” or man-affected “climate change” represents a threat to our existence. He soon became what many call a “climate-change skeptic.” The Times said:

“it was [in 2005] that Dyson began publicly stating his doubts about climate change. Speaking at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University, Dyson announced that 'all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated.' Since then he has only heated up his misgivings, declaring in a 2007 interview with Salon.com that “the fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn’t scare me at all” and writing in an essay for The New York Review of Books, the left-leaning publication that is to gravitas what the Beagle was to Darwin, that climate change has become an ‘obsession’ -- the primary article of faith for ‘a worldwide secular religion’ known as environmentalism.

“Among those he considers true believers, Dyson has been particularly dismissive of Al Gore, whom Dyson calls climate change’s ‘chief propagandist,’ and James Hansen, the head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York and an adviser to Gore’s film, ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’ Dyson accuses them of relying too heavily on computer-generated climate models that foresee a Grand Guignol of imminent world devastation as icecaps melt, oceans rise and storms and plagues sweep the earth, and he blames the pair’s ‘lousy science’ for ‘distracting public attention’ from ‘more serious and more immediate dangers to the planet.’”

Dyson is married. His wife, accompanied by him, goes to the theatre to see Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.” Her reaction? Did she immediately dismiss it as propaganda? After all, she alone is in unique position to listen to and benefit from the musings on the subject from one of the world’s smartest minds, right?

But, no, she felt Dyson had been deceptive:

“A particularly distressed member of that public was Dyson’s own wife, Imme, who, after seeing the film in a local theater with Dyson when it was released in 2006, looked at her husband out on the sidewalk and, with visions of drowning polar bears still in her eyes, reproached him: ‘Everything you told me is wrong!’ she cried.

“’The polar bears will be fine,’ he assured her.”

If a one-sided, propagandistic documentary by a grade-D science student can, in 100 minutes, undo the brilliant Dyson’s influence on his own wife, Lord help the rest of us.
