Al Gore: The Davos Interview

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Al Gore has been the Cassandra of the climate crisis seemingly since the times of Cassandra. Starting in Congress more than 40 years ago, he has been ringing the alarm for more than half his life. Gore was back at Davos this week, and his message remained as stark as ever.

At 71, Gore is still younger than Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders. He has lost none of his passion for climate change, even if he delivers it painlessly in his Tennessee accent.

Speaking during a panel on protecting the Amazon, Gore proclaimed it was later than everyone thought. “The burden to act on the shoulders of the generation of the people alive today is a challenge to our moral imagination,” Gore said. “This is Thermopylae. This is Agincourt. This is the Battle of the Bulge. This is Dunkirk. This is 9/11,” declared Gore. “We have to rise to this occasion.”

On another panel, it was suggested to Gore that a too-rapid change to a green economy could lead to a global financial problem.

“There’s no jobs on a dead planet,” responded Gore.

1. Saw Gore speak at a local college about 5 yrs ago.

He predicted new diseases spreading into many new places i.e. the US.

Too bad most of the filthy rich were more interested in f*cking porn stars and having a Slovenian sex worker in the White House instead of saving the planet.

2. Just think how different things would be now

if the 2000 election had not been stolen from him.
