We previously noted how Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry told attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that they were a “select group of human beings” who got to talk about saving Mother Gaia from global warming climate change emergency, something about which Robert Stacy McCain wrote in more detail. Not unexpectedly, Mr Kerry was not the only former Democratic presidential nominee to go off anything that could have been considered a preplanned script. Mr Kerry’s remarks were certainly impolitic, as talking to other patricians about how they need to guide the plebeians’ actions is not something which is likely to endear the commoners to Mr Kerry’s, and the other Davos denizens’, ideas, but at least he didn’t go off on an unhinged rant.

Al Gore goes on ‘unhinged’ rant about ‘rain bombs,’ boiled oceans, other climate threats at Davos

Gore claimed climate change could ultimately end mankind’s ability for ‘self-governance’

Climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore recently went on an “unhinged” rant on the dangers of climate change at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Gore’s speech, which involved him yelling about climate change “boiling the oceans,” causing freak weather occurrences like “rain bombs” and ultimately affecting humanity’s ability for “self-governance,” made for quite the spectacle on the world stage and on social media.

The former U.S. leader and current WEF agenda contributor spoke on the Davos stage in front of the global community urging drastic action on protecting the environment and combating climate change.

One thing is certain: for all of his other faults, we owe the younger George Bush an incalculable debt of gratitude for keeping Messrs Gore and Kerry out of the White House!

You can watch Mr Gore’s rant on the video, below the fold:

He blamed this phenomenon for a host of problems he claimed humanity is currently facing. Raising his voice, he said, “That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!”

He then latched on to the notion of a climate-induced refugee crisis, noting that the number of refugees is “predicted to reach 1 billion in this century.” He further blamed authoritarianism on climate change, as it has been a response to these climate migrations.

Gore added, “Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees.” He screamed, “What about a billion?! We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world! We have to act!”

That’s just it: it isn’t the evil reich-wing Republicans who have been moving to authoritarianism: in the United States, that would be the left, the ‘progressives,’ the Democrats. Conservatives and libertarians aren’t the ones telling you that you must go to plug-in electric cars, and get rid of your gas appliances; the evil reich-wing Republicans aren’t pitching new #MaskMandates, but the it’s-for-our-own-good Biden Administration trying to do that, despite the fact that almost every other civilized nation has ceased such things . It wasn’t Governor Matt Bevin (R-KY) who ordered lockdowns and the closure of churches when the COVID-19 panicdemic^[1]This was not a typographical error; panicdemic is exactly the word I meant to use, because that’s exactly what it was. began, because he was already out of office; that was Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat. It wasn’t authoritarian of President Trump to more strictly enforce our existing, passed-by-Congress immigration laws; it is authoritarian of President Biden to stop, on his own say-so, enforcing the existing laws.

The elites, the patricians, have never liked the idea of populism, because the riff-raff are supposed to be governed, not governors, and that’s why they so virulently hate Donald Trump, born into privilege and an elite if there ever was one, tapping into the populist spirit. That’s why they hated “Brexit” and Viktor Orban and Benjamin Netanyahu.

To John Kerry and Al Gore I say, “Not just no, but Hell no!”
