Former Vice President Al Gore said today on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the climate continues to warm, we “would lose our capacity for self-governance,” Breitbart reports.
Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “What happens if the world doesn’t react? What’s the worst-case scenario?”
Gore said, “The scientist who has warned us of these mega-storms and the floods and mudslides and droughts and the ice melting and the sea level rising and the storms getting stronger and the tropical diseases and climate and migrants crossing international borders in large numbers. They were dead right when they warned us about this, and so we need to pay more attention to them now.”
He continued, “Here is one thing they say: if we don’t take action, there could be as many as 1 billion climate refugees crossing international borders in the next several decades. Well, a few million have contributed to this wave of populist authoritarianism and dictatorships and so forth. What would a billion do? We can’t do this. We could lose our capacity for self-governance.”
Gore added, “Already, we’ve seen people driven from the places they’ve always called home, and we’re seeing an expansion of areas in the world that are physiologically unlivable now because of the combination of heat and humidity. They’re relatively small areas now, but if we don’t act, they will expand to include most of India, large parts of Northern and South America, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, the list goes on. The survival of our civilization is at stake. And it sounds dire, but it is dire.”

Here is a fun fact regarding the inventor of the Internet.
“Armed with Gore’s utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president’s 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.”
Yawn. Typical wealthy white elitist pig. Do as I say not as I do!

Gore, how much tax do people have to pay for it to go away?
Methane and nitrous oxide found in human exhalations are worse for the environment than carbon dioxide, scientists say.
At what point will we collectively realize that climate catastrophism is the new face of a very old death cult, and WE are the carbon they want to reduce?
