Here’s some breaking news from Reuters. We’re not sure where they picked it up; they don’t mention a climate conference or anything similar, only that “Gore told Reuters.” So we’re guessing Gore’s Generation Investment Management sent Reuters a press release letting them know that the world is at a tipping point for climate action, and if we don’t act now, the planet will become uninhabitable sometime after he’s dead and won’t be around to ridicule.

So, what’s new from Gore?
The world is at a “positive tipping point” in the fight against climate change as surging oil and gas costs spur governments to decarbonise faster, former U.S. Vice President and co-founder of Generation Investment Management Al Gore told Reuters.
He pointed to the Inflation Reduction Act signed in August, a $430 billion bill seen as the biggest climate package in U.S. history, as well as a pledge by Australia earlier this month to cut carbon emissions by 43% by 2030 and to net zero by 2050.
…
“There are signs absolutely everywhere around the world” of the pace of change picking up, he noted, adding that the need to act was also being driven by worsening weather events.
“Mother Nature has joined the discussion about the climate crisis,” Gore said, citing heatwaves in China, floods in Pakistan and drought in Europe.
Gore’s Oscar-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” came out in 2006 and found its way into the schools.
Again?

Is this the same tipping point Gore said we reached 10 years ago? And 15 years ago?

We always seem to be at a ‘tipping point’…

“Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.”

According to Al Gore, my coastline home should be underwater by now. However I just looked out my window at the same shoreline I looked at in 1995. Weird huh?

That wind bag has been flying (private) all over the world saying that for the last 20 years

Holy crap. It's 2006 again.

He said this 16 years ago.

So all is lost because there's nothing going on around the world that will prevent his idea of "tipping point."

Didn’t he also say the world would end from global warming like 10 years ago? I’m gonna go with he’s probably wrong again

It’s not.
That’s it, that’s the tweet.

Good grief, not again. How many tipping points must there be before people realize he’s full of shit?

For real this time, honest.

Where have I seen this before…
Oh yeah, Al Gore in 2006👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/dQlRvK2dKs

And yet he maintains a carbon footprint the size of a third world nation.
None of his predictions have come remotely true and he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Gore is a snake oil salesman & a fraud.

I've heard this my entire life. It has no meaning anymore.

Translation: Al Gore reaaaalllyyy wants you to invest in his carbon credits scheme so he can buy another oceanfront property.

He's super cereal.

Seriously, Reuters, how is this news? Gore called you up and told you he had an important new warning?
