Looks like Al wants some attention paid to him and his screwball global warming crap
Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday knocked President Barack Obama — his fellow Democrat — for not doing enough to combat climate change, saying “we cannot have four more years” of the same.
“I deeply respect our president and I’m grateful for the steps that he has taken, but we cannot have four more years of mentioning this occasionally and saying it’s too bad Congress can’t act,” Gore told the New York League of Conservation Voters.
Gore praised New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — whose city was slammed by Hurricane Sandy — for “leading this effort,” but said it was imperative to “take steps to reduce the chance that even worse impacts [than Sandy] will happen in the future.”
“This storm was related to global warming,” Gore said. “The scientists used to say some years ago that you can’t blame any single extreme weather event on climate. Now many of the leaders…are saying no, we’ve gone beyond that now, it’s gotten too far.”
He continued, “We’re putting 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every single day, spewing it up there as if the atmosphere of the planet is an open sewer — free to use, free of charge, just put as much junk up there are you want to, notwithstanding the fact that it is causing these extreme weather events. Dirty energy causes dirty weather and we have to come to our senses and do something about it.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/al-gore-hits-obama-for-not-acting-on-global-warming-we-cannot-have-4-more-years-of-mentioning-this-occasionally/
