  • Gore: ‘flying rivers, rain bombs’

    Gore travels to Dubai, warns: ‘Global warming’ triggering ‘flying rivers, rain bombs’
    Gore issues new climate warning: Bizarre weather such as “flying rivers” and “rain bombs” are just some of the recent effects of climate change, warned former US vice-president Al Gore at the Global Education and Skills Forum (GESF) in Dubai on Sunday...global weather is becoming “extreme” and “disruptive”, mainly because of global warming, Gore explained.

    I just love this guy!

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    Why? The scientific truths about climate change are not affected by what some ex-US politician says. I could barely care less about him. I've never heard him speak or read anything he's written. I can't recall hearing anyone in my life outside this forum ever mention him.

    I get that because you're a bit of a clown and strongly politically partisan you like pointing and laughing at US Democrat politicians for doing things you think are silly (even if it's usually not silly and you're usually the stupid one and not them in the situation). It's amusing to laugh at you for that.

      Nor did I claim or imply they did.

      If you could care less, then you apparently do care.

      It's not the only area where you are totally ignorant of things American.

      You are such a hypocrite.

        It depresses me that in the US there is such a strong tendency among conservatives to hate and oppose anything a Democratic politician does just because it's a Democratic politician doing it.

        Al Gore left politics and decided to spend his life drawing attention to the problem of climate change. There are many things a politician can do once they're out of politics: In the US most get cushy lobbying jobs, and most of the rest get lucrative positions on boards of private companies. It's somewhat nice, IMO, that Al Gore choose to do charitable work instead and dedicate effort to making people aware of the problems of climate change.

        Unfortunately, I wonder if he does more harm than good, simply because the US conservatives are soooo reactionary. Because he's an ex-Democratic politician, if he says "up", then they'll shout "down". It's depressing and says a lot about the psychological issues of US conservatives. So Al Gore spending his time doing something nice and charitable in practice turns into a strong motivator for US conservatives to be against all ideas of climate change, and associate them with 'liberals'. It's sad.

          It's not because he's a Democrat - That's just your goofus assumption. It's because he's an arrogant ass who wants to get filthy rich(er).

            There's plenty of such people in the world. Some people might even suggest you fall into that category. Why does Al Gore stand out as particularly worthy of comment?

              Well, coming from the likes of you, that's just precious.

              Why does Al Gore stand out as particularly worthy of comment?
              Because I love it when the climate alarmists have to feel obligated to throw him under the bus, denying he's their poster boy. But, again, you're totally ignorant of things American, so...

                  There is no consensus of scientists on how bad effects of AGW, warming will be.

                  So what happened was this famous politician goes about preaching 'sky is falling!!!!' fear, to get people to '''''do something!!!!!' even though science of effects not settled yet. Sad!

                    Why do you love that? It seems a psychologically strange thing to love.

                    Insofar as there can be said to be a poster boy for climate change, I would say it was the IPCC (the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

                      Typical CP snide dishonesty! Why mention it at all, if your intention was not to mock Gore and reinforce your ignorant denial of global warming? Why do Evangelicals deny what most climate scientists say, don’t they care about their grandchildren?

                        I see, so when predictions of decreased rainfall and drought didn't pan out, now it's "flying rivers" and "rain bombs".

                        Have you noticed that any time the weather doesn't cooperate with the myth of global warming, liberals simply give it a name and then dismiss it as not relevant? Record cold temperatures contrary to global warming predictions? No problem, just call it a "polar vortex" or "nor'easter" and carry on with your agenda. Heavy rainfall? No worries! Just whip up terms like "flying rivers" and "rain bombs", and you're in the clear!

                        It's insane.

                          Actually in this case it is just because it is Al Gore. He is a joke, no matter what his political party. He has made a living using fear tactics and going around like Chicken Little crying the Sky is Falling (and I guess in this case of "flying rivers and rain bombs" he is doing it literally) -- all the while wasting energy at his mansion and flying around in jets. A complete hypocrite.

                          Charitable? He has gotten rich off of Global Warming.

                              Ah, here's the hate-filled anti-Christian genius who tried so hard to make similar claims in the ILGA thread while throwing his own under the bus, claiming he was supporting NAMBLA when he was actually making a case for their separation from ILGA.

                              Why mention it at all, if your intention was not to mock Gore
                              That was certainly part of it - he's a doofus and a hypocrite.

                              and reinforce your ignorant denial of global warming?
                              I'm not a global warming denier, anymore than Richard Rosendall was a "defender of NAMBLA" like you ignorantly and falsely accused.

                              Why do Evangelicals deny what most climate scientists say, don’t they care about their grandchildren?
                              Why do you make ignorant jackass accusations you can't defend?

                              In short he’s a civil rights advocate primarily and it was in this capacity that he was defending NAMBLA in the link you posted. Interesting that you find him to be such an admirable man!
