Al Gore Launches African Climate Change Programme

Posted March 13, 2014 10:55 AM

From Engineering News 2013 | Home:

Former US Vice-President and climate change lobbyist Al Gore has launched the African branch of the Climate Reality Project, which aims to mobilise individuals and organisations to implement climate change mitigation measures and spread the truth of climate change to communities on the continent. Addressing over 700 delegates at a three-day Climate Reality Project workshop, in Johannesburg, on Thursday, Gore said the African division of the organisation would look to collaborate with climate leaders, African governments, nongovernment organisations (NGOs) and scientists across the continent to identify continent-specific solutions to global warming and carbon emissions.

Funny.

I guess they must be the last people on earth, that don't know that Al Gore is a selfish political hack, and a liar.

It's not just the white guys. Obama also told them "the planet will boil over" if people in Africa attain air conditioning, automobiles and big houses.

You got him nailed. He uses a private jet to fly to these events. My favorite story about a rotten to the core greenie was John Denver who preached abstaining for using energy but kept 20,000 gallons of gas at his house just so he and his guests could thumb their noses at gas lines.

He and his friends were above the common riftraft.

Well, you guys just may be wrong about this whole thing. Just you wait another 200-500 years and you'll see.

It makes sense to start there though, since they've already been forbidden from having cars and air conditioning.

https://www.sodahead.com/united-states/president-obama-tells-african-youth-if-you-have-air-conditioning-and-cars-the-planet-will-boil-over/question-3781046/

Why indeed?

Starving people don't give a damn about the AGW hoax!
