That's a lot of punishment. Will he punish his own fleet of private 737s?
People have been punishing one another over the use of scarce resources for many, many thousands of years.
I don't know that we ever talked so much about it, though.
Hey, Al. Describe what climate change means. Seems to me that climate change has always been around. It isn't going to be as warm today as it was yesterday. It will however, be warmer than it was 15,000 years ago when there were glaciers here.

Margaritas please.
My fear is these climate zealots are going to exhaust the skeptics until they get their way.
Fear and intimidation is their stock in trade.

Al would love to have his own climate enforcing agency with the authority to make laws and punish people. I'd hate to see him acquire that kind of power but he does seem to be trying to.

Frankly, hearing that Al Gore died in some fashion would be a good day.
If there is ANY poetic justice in this world, the Goracle will die of hypothermia. Or slip and fall into an oil well which is where is real fortune, the one he's currently exploiting, comes from. He can take Tom Steyer with him. Fucking oil barons.
