While speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former Vice President Al Gore made a statement that is causing outrage across America.
During his closing remarks, Gore said, “The burden to act on the shoulders of the generation of the people alive today is a challenge to our moral imagination.”
He then continued, saying “This is Thermopylae. This is Agincourt. This is Dunkirk. This is the Battle of the Bulge. This is 9/11…. We have to rise to this occasion.”
Gore’s comments may come off to many as insensitive, as over 3,000 men and women died during 9/11 and countless others in the historic battles he chose to mention.
Gore also praised 17-year-old conspiracy theorist Greta Thunberg, saying, “struck by her potent and sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does: ‘Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.’”
Gore predicted that the Earth’s ice caps would be gone by 2013-14, which proved false. That is just one of the conspiracy theories he has been wrong about, however, he continues to peddle his agenda.
