Climate Talk - Crabber says water is at same level as 1970. Gore has no answer.

YouTube Vid of CNN Town Hall

Guy asked a legit question to Al Gore and Gore deflects like crazy because he can't answer it. Starts acting like erosion and the need for seawalls are clear proof of rising tides when the guy clearly stated that it's at the exact same level from 40-50 years ago.

Gore is not a scientist. He is an opportunistic pseudo-environmentalist parasite capitalizing on an emotional topic that he doesn't even seem to personally believe in, judging from his laughably energy-inefficient lifestyle.

so we have a crabber, who is just going off his own observations, with no real proof to back those observations up...

...and then we have Al Gore



this is why we can't have serious discussions about climate change

Gore clearly does not know what he is talking about WRT the climate. He is a good example why a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

If you are going to parade around the world as the face of climate change, you better have a damn answer. Period.

The crabber wasn't initiating debate. He was asking a question and it made Gore look like a fool for not being able to answer him.

Hint..... take the guy with decades of experience whose observations literally are earned by the fact he's still alive making a living doing it.

This whole charade has made Al Gore a Billionaire.

Shouldn't someone who has become a Billionaire off of a topic be an expert at it?

LOL! So take the word of an ignorant, conservative crabber who has no experience doing anything except fishing for crab, over 97% of the world's scientists and NASA, who have spent decades of peer reviewed research, and actually measured the oceans? Sure thing chief.

This says a lot about you. What makes him ignorant? The fact that he asks a question? Because he's a crabber?

What makes him conservative? It was never said that he was. He was just part of a CNN town hall and he had a question.
