If you’re skeptical of AGW theory then, according to Al Gore, not only are you a “denier” (akin to Holocaust denier) but you’re also much like a racist:
One would think that some of the more intelligent environmentalists would much prefer if Gore just shut up. He truly is hurting “his side” … big time.
Update: Reportedly some aren’t able to watch the video. You can also see it here.
Update 2: Ezra Levant & Lorrie Goldstein discuss Gore’s assertion around 2 minutes into this video. And Charles Adler discusses it here.
I feel your pain Fat Al. What with the big crash in the carbon trading industry and all … with the complete discreditation of the global warming theorists and consensus scientists.
You are going down in history as a Climate Clown. Kinda has a nice ring to it. You and the rest of your carbonista’s can go tell it to China …. they are the the up-an-comers in the pollution arena. But then, they aren’t going to listen to you either Al. No one takes you seriously.
You have had your shot, you got rich NOW SHUT THE F*** UP!
RE oil companies fronting money…
As I said the other day… who knew CERN was in the back pocket of the oil companies. 🙂
Al’s lecturing about racism when he only cares about white polar bears and not black or brown bears? Hater!!!
Equivocating race and agw.
Incredible.
Al Gore and his ilk have been paid by big oil from the start.Not by companys,but by Saudi Arabia and other mid east oil producing regions.The oil sands,baaken and fracking are making an enormous dent in their coffers and they will use any Judas that is willing to sell out their own country for money.Al Gore is number one.He is also the reason that Clinton was never impeached.He was next in line.
Al GWhore invented the internet. So there!
He’s my hero.
Besides Cola bears have black skin under
those white fur coats.
.
Looks like Fat Al_Bert has been hitting the BBQ a little too much.
But he must be buying carbon credits to appease his guilt who he stuffs his gob.
It’s a tough time for the moonbats. AGW theory losing its power, obozo flaming out, and the free spending government idea gradually disappearing.
I enjoy this new reality themed world.
al been knocked down is now only going beind everyones back tipicle of jackels but hey how those wind mills doing in 80 mile hour winds
And to think this clown almost became the POTUS. Although Obozo is just as bad.
The man has to have at least some kind of memory and intelligence.
How else could you organize and string all those lies and concocted theories and stories together and keep regurgitating them and spewing them all over anyone gullible enough to listen?
Just a thought. How would you like to be the reporter who, once again, has to go out and interview this schmo every time he comes to town? How could you stand there with a straight face and let him yak away without bursting out in laughter and calling him a dufus to his face?
But, then again, turning your brain off is a regular part of the job over at the CBC, which happens far too often (“Just hit the record button and let the man spew…drop by the office and pick up the paycheck…go get some tequila and have a few shots before supper…”)
A bit picky perhaps, but when you say: “…environmentalists would much prefer…”, you really mean “warmists” instead, right?
Many like myself would consider themselves to be environmentalists, and have little/no use for most AGW alarmists, in particular Mr. Gore.
Environmentalists are found on hiking trails, in duck blinds, in church basements leading Scout meetings. I have never seen a real one on the rock star speaking circuit.
“Equivocating race and agw.
Incredible.”
Hey Mark, It’s humor ….. but lefties don’t have much of a sense of humor … Neither do Muslims …. C’mon if you believe in AGW … you must believe that Israel is bad. Let me know if I am right … be honest now ….
You understand now why “Ol’ Treestump” flunked out of seminary, don’t you?
He couldn’t sell sugar to ants.
Note it’s all about the ‘strength of your passion’ and ‘the depth of your belief’. Forget scientific fact; the man’s peddling a new religion.
Turtle: I prefer the term conservationists, as I feel it presents things in proper priority order: nature is something that man conserves, prudently, for his own long-term benefit. “environmentalism” implies environment uber alles to me.
Dissenting scientific opinion = rascism ???
Gore, you’re finished. Only a delusional huckster would resort to such morbid sophistry.
Let’s All throw Al under the back of the bus.
Al Gore defines hypocrisy. On a personal level, he doesn’t practise what he preaches and his businesses and investments have made him many millions off the carbon credit and offset schemes he ‘invented.’ The guy is a shyster.

Decades ago, when those of us to could see truth from fiction commented that Mugabe was going to be a terrible Prime Minister, maggot-infested left-wing types of the likes of Gore and others said we were racists.
This is the classic approach of the left. When you cannot win on facts, then used distorted language to beat your opponent. These jerks all use the same playbook again and again and again.
Terrorists are “freedom fighters”, those who do not buy the global warming scam are racists, and so on it goes. The fact that Gore is digging deep into the left-wing playbook suggests he is worried that the fraud is unravelling.
What starts out as a joke:
“the definition of a racist is anyone who disagrees with me”
becomes reality. This is how civilisations die.
Funny that he even began to lose the all too sympathetic interviewer once he started drawing parallels to racism.
Chief Running Joke should retire, then he can become a Crazed Sex Poodle full-time, or maybe just Crazed….
Scientists have a duty of skepticism – about their
own results (especially!) and about those of others.
To be told that the exercise of that duty is morally
equivalent to racism is profoundly
deplorable and utterly disgusting.
My Mother used to hate it when I referred to these people as ‘Global Warming Creeps’. She said it was hurtful and was a smear.
My liberal mother, God bless her, she actually called Al Gore a creep last spring at something stupid this man said.
If decent good willed liberals like my Mother are aware the global warming creeps are creepy, then you know they are beginning to become desperate.
@11:17 – “…the depth of your conviction and the strength of your passion.”
He’s really just an Oprah wannabe, isn’t he? Seriously, they should give him a talk-show.
And who is the interviewer?
The interviewer is Alex Bogusky, “a designer, marketer, author, and consumer advocate”. Algore is desperate. Bogusky has a blog, which I’ve only skimmed, but somehow I don’t get the sense that he spends a lot of time focused like a lazer on scientific data.
Global warming is the last refuge of the failed political scoundrel.
This is the man who said, on a talk show, “the center of the earth is very hot, millions and millions of degrees”.
The surface of the sun is ~10,000 degrees.
Yeah. Keep talking, Al Gore. Keep talking.
With all due respect to Abe Froman, I want Gore to keep talking (although I completely understand Abe’s desire to never hear Al’s grating voice again). Every time Gore opens his mouth and reveals the utter emptiness of his Global Warming – oh, excuse me, I mean Climate Change – scam, another person who was sitting on the fence thinks, “Hmmmmm……”
When I try to run the video I get a message ‘video not found or access denied’. Is the video still there or has it been withdrawn to avoid embarassing Fat Al?
albertaclipper, the video is still there.
Al says to “assert your beliefs”….Some scientific argument!
The thing that surprised me as I watched the video was how he takes the time to stop stuffing his pie hole long enough to talk! That internet thing that Fat Al invented has come back to bite him in the ass, for in spite of the best efforts of the MSM we can see how he lives, and his total disconnect with reality. The Biblical prophets walked around in rags eating locusts and wild honey as they spread the message of impending doom, at least they had some credibility.
Daniel Ream @ 11:12, exactly, although I expect that is what Turtle meant.
Sorry Robert, but I did not take the time to listen to the complete video. Can’t stand to hear him spout his idiocy.
Philanthropist, I thought his name was Chief Walking Eagle.
Oh, yeah, Al? Please explain the morality of your trading your vote for the ’91 Gulf War, a matter of life and death, for a few minutes on television?
Are you playing the same double game, this time?
Can also explain away those embarrassing encounters you had with a few unfortunate young women. What did you mean by ” take care of this”.
What exactly, made you think your wedding vows to Tipper were optional?
Has anyone else noticed his creepy little giggle when he talks about racism? He’s such a bull s**t artist.
Al’s lost a bit of weight and a lot of gravitas.
Doesn’t get any better than this – being called a racist by cheap white trash.
The only side Gore is on, is the one on which has certain American Presidents on them.
Next it will only be whites that are polluters just like their the only true bigots.
Thisis the greenies version of the race card.
Al Gore is Koo koo with the biggest hypocracy of them all & thats saying a lot.
Did the government force all the racists to pay Al Gore billions of dollars in the 60’s too?
Al sure looks sweaty and overweight.
Y’know, for some reason, I keep thinking of Rodney Dangerfield.
Winning … the conversation?
I thought a conversation was a respectful exchange of pleasantries and viewpoints.
But I ‘spose if you can’t win the debate, winning the conversation will have to do.
Winning = silencing.
“I have a scheme …”
I think Tipper must be beating the h3ll out of Fat Al in divorce court:-)
The whole AGW fiasco has accomplished it’s true goals. It was never much more than a ‘red herring’ to distract people away from fighting TOXIC pollution. Guess who benefits most by allowing toxic pollution to continue? Follow the money; the polluters have been funding the AGW movement. What a scam.
“The fact that Gore is digging deep into the left-wing playbook suggests he is worried that the fraud is unravelling.”
Gore is obviously too stupid to quit while he’s ahead. The wheels are quickly falling off his AGW wagon and he will probably end up being a target of scorn and ridicule down the road but let’s not forget that he has emassed tremendous wealth at the expense of the gullible and equally stupid.
Scorn and ridicule are appropriate and just rewards for Gore’s behaviour, however I, for one, will not be satisfied until his assets are seized and he does some hard time with cellmate David Suzuki spending his final days in abject poverty.
If you think Al Gore and minions calling GW deniers racist is bad, wait until they get their way and have some real control over your lives.
Imagine the racist hunters showing up at your door to see if you’re in violation of using incandescent light bulbs. What about not taking sponge baths 4 times a week as Prince Charles suggests of the common people?
If they think your racists now for a thought crime wait until they catch you doing something REALLY bad.
“If you think Al Gore and minions calling GW deniers racist…”
It’s this kind of blatant lying that I come to SDA for 🙂 Always good for a laugh!
Alex – he compares “deniers” – an offensive term in itself, with the deliberate allusion to Holocaust deniers – to people who supported Bull Connor etc. Just not seeing the big picture, and morally crippled. Stop playing dumb. (Phantom might possibly suggest that you don’t need to play dumb. I wouldn’t, ’cause I’m nice most of the time. But Phantom…)
“Alex – he compares ‘deniers’ – an offensive term in itself, with the deliberate allusion to Holocaust deniers”
If that’s how you want to see yourself, that’s your issue; the word “denier” means simply “someone who denies”.
“to people who supported Bull Connor etc. Just not seeing the big picture, and morally crippled.”
Yes, I agree, you’re not seeing the big picture. He’s making an analogy to explain how best to fight against the kind of blind denial being leveled at climate research, while you fools are claiming he’s calling you racist. Now, the way I see it, there are only two possibilities which can account for that:
1. You’re intentionally lying.
2. You’re so delusional that you don’t even realize you’re saying things which are completely untrue.
Which is it? Personally, I’m convinced it’s #1, but if you can present a convincing argument for #2, I’m willing to reconsider.
So you agree he’s making the analogy? A fairly loaded analogy, n’est pas?
And personally, #2. Now please don’t respond.
