Or was he paying him to push the truth about how important it is.

The question is why did he do it ? He's a wealthy old man. Did he do it because he has a lot invested in green businesses ? OR is it possible he did it because it matters and because it requires a lot of money to push back against the even bigger monied interests that want to keep us using fossil fuels for too long.

Why ? Why does soros want us to move sooner rather than later on green energy ?

Could it be because he listens to the scientists ?

That was then. Was he wrong?

This is now.

George Soros Paid Al Gore Millions To Lie About Global Warming

If you think the globe isn't warming, you are an idiot. At this point rejecting the thousands of independent verification indicates willful ignorance. And as such, a climate change denier reveals that his opinion on any subject matter should not be taken seriously.

The bottom line is that those who deny climate change should have zero voice in policy making as they have demonstrated beyond any doubt that they prefer to ignore and reject reality.

It's always fun when people who lie for fun find out they can do it for money.

Well said

Newly leaked documents

What documents is that? I don't see any. He said that she said that her cousin's brother's nephew's aunt trudy thinks her fathers mothers second cousin twice removed said. People take this crap seriously? What a joke.

AL GORE WAS WRONG (AGAIN): GREENHOUSE GASSES DROP 3% IN TRUMP'S FIRST YEAR

Yeah a guy that brags about how he brings down countries by destroying their economy is concerned about Global warming. But just couldn't be bothered by the 80% clear and deforestation of the Planets most venerable Rain Forests since 2000.

The same George Soros that had Gab shut down, millions of Republicans thrown off Twitter and Facebook and even threatened Disgus yesterday to make the mention of his name on Breitbart in a negative light as hate speech. This Soros has our best interest at heart.

Regardless of what you believe, the fact remains, Al Gore shouldn't even be a trusted source on middle school science, let alone climate change. The man has zero credentials. I'd love to give him a scientific literacy test to see how he scores.

The joke is on Soros. Gore woulda done it for a case of scotch.

I'll take it! Majored in math minored in physics. After 2 years I walked away. I did like the math of Mo! Money!,
Mo! Money!, Mo! Money!
I'm no genius! I never understood the math of debt & no cash but I'm sure it's for losers.

I would be asking Gore questions such as, what is the atomic mass of carbon-13, and I know he'll get it wrong.

Huh? Didn't you know that Al Gore Jr flunked out of Vanderbilt Law School during his first year?

In fact, since Al Senior was senator of TN, the dean of the law school actually tried to broker a deal, letting Al Junior pass, if he submitted a term paper. Junior, being the lazy shit that he was, didn't even bother with that. If anything, Gore is as dumb as Dubya but gets all these accolades because he speaks well and is reasonably good looking in comparison.

Gore is as dumb as Dubya

Which is why we should not vote in "Dynasties." by electing wives and offspring of the original successful politicians. One Kennedy, Bush, Clinton, Gore is enough. We also do not need any Michele/Malia/Sasha or Ivanka in the future.

Let that sink in. Oil comapnies accept the expert consensus on human-caused global warming
Why are you guys carrying water for the Kochs/KSA/OPEC?
The main show is not about Al Gore or questions of technical depth as a criteria versus leadership.
Steve Jobs was lacking in technical knowledge but he was a great visionary.

I also agree 100% that global humans population growth (83 millions per year) causing current global warming, despite the fact that it may be a normal part of global warming-cooling cycles.

Big oil has modified the Tobacco industry's denial-to-the-end playbook slightly, they are using a two-faced approach.

Lawyers for Chevron, one of the defendants in the case, say the company accepts the international consensus that human activities are a main driver of the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the resulting warming.

The company also stated that it had filed motions to dismiss such cases in other U.S. cities and counties, including in New York City and King County, Washington, although it does support “meaningful efforts to address climate change and accepts internationally recognized climate science.”

San Francisco and Oakland sued Chevron Corp, Exxon Mobil Corp, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, and BP Plc last year seeking an abatement fund to help the cities address flooding they said was a result of climate change.
Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said in the ruling that the dangers raised by the complainants were real and worldwide, and both parties accepted the science behind global warming.

It amazes me how people who completely ignore very valid criticisms are so sure about their position. I found the best video bringing into question the consensus and the data integrity. I have found the best way to obliterate a theory, or in this case, a religion, is to use the proponent's data and facts or scripture to disprove itself. Well, here one will see actual NOAA charts that are now different, one will see how few weather stations there were in the 1800s and one will see the recycled doom and gloom headlines that we see today, only they are from the early 1900s. If someone can watch this and still maintain that someone else who raises these questions must be stupid, or somehow fooled, then I would judge him to be following a cult.

Left wing propaganda to impose a socialist top down government on the people to insure their control over the masses. Once they have your guns and the people agree to trade away their freedoms for safety and supposed clean air, then our fine republic will become a socialist nightmare like Venezuela.

It’s an idea, a hypothesis. But it’s far from reality. GW isn’t real

If you believe in global warming, convert your car to run on natural gas (like a Tesla does).

You can actually do something about it.

If you don’t, you’re a hypocrite.

The biggest proponents of the hoax are riding in yachts and private jets; they are hypocrites too.

It is my lifetime goal to have a smaller carbon footprint than our current climate Czar.

HEY YOU says

That was then. Was he wrong?

Al Gore? Absolutely. Go watch An Inconvenient Truth again.

If you want to spend the time, listen to the predictions, then start checking them. I understand this is a laborious process, but the only way you'll believe that literally NOTHING in that "documentary" was correct is for you to verify yourself.

I was a believer when that film came out. There is no hockey stick, glaciers didn't disappear, it's all bullshit.

Al Gore never believed it, but he convinced a lot of useful idiots. And most people once convinced will never change their mind.

Also get rid of the dryer and use a clothes line.

That doesn't work in most of the country unless you can somehow shield your clothesline from the rain. I also wonder about insects getting on the clothes.

During the '40s. 50s, and '60s, a clothesline was the norm throughout the country. Nobody said a clothesline is better than a dryer, just that a dryer uses a vast amount of energy so any true carbon conscience guy should forgo the convenience of that dryer.

Yeah, you come across as a pretty gullible type.
