Al Gore: Critics 'immoral, unethical and despicable'
Climate crusader rants: 'The future of civilization is at stake'

Al Gore, known for wild rants about global warming, including one where his foul language earned him the description “mentally unstable,” is at it again.

Only this time he’s complaining about those who put up “barriers” to his agenda that critics say includes cracking down on carbon emissions, buying and selling credits for that activity and putting the American coal industry out of business.

“The ‘barriers’ to doing something about climate change are business and political interests that profit off of fossil fuels – ‘dirty energy that causes dirty weather,’” he said, according to an online report about a recent speech he made.

“He compared fake science from polluters stating that humans are not to blame for the climate to tobacco companies that used to hire actors to play doctors who denied cigarettes were dangerous,” the report said.

“That’s immoral, unethical and despicable,” he said of both.

Gore spoke recently to a crowd at the Stan Sheriff Center at the University of Hawaii.

Speaking largely to supporters and fans, Gore said climate change, the newest evolution of what started out as global warming, is getting worse.

The Civilbeat blog that reported on his visit to the island state said, “Gore’s talk was an updated version of the one he’s been giving for years and that he first laid out in his 1992 book ‘Earth In the Balance.’ The planet is in trouble because humankind burns too much coal and oil, which is trapping greenhouse gases and raising temperatures.”

Gore blamed that for “famine, drought, floods, refugees, species extinction, to name just a few.”

Gore claimed that the number of hotter days over the past 80 years has been growing “alarmingly disproportionate to the number of cooler days and days with average temperatures,” the report said.

“The way we have to respond to this is going to require a set of changes that are beyond our routine,” he said, his voice growing to a shout. “I know that we are capable of that. Our way of life is at stake, our grandchildren are at stake, the future of civilization is at stake.”

The 66-year-old Gore was vice president under Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001. His 1988 and 2000 presidential bids failed.

WND reported earlier on an earlier Gore rant that prompted Brian Sussman, author of “Eco-Tyranny,” to conclude, “He’s clearly becoming mentally unstable.”

Sussman, a weather expert turned journalist, cited an August 2011 speech Gore gave in Colorado to a gathering of elites at the Aspen Institute, an address that turned into a wild rant filled with repeated obscenities...
