Al Gore pops his head up at Davos…say, how’d he get there? A fossil fueled flight?…to make a racist pronouncement (via Climate Depot)
(CNBC) Stopping overpopulation is one way the dangers of climate change can be mitigated, according to two of the most prominent believers in global warming.
Former Vice President Al Gore and Microsoft founder Bill Gates (how did Gates get to Davos? Anyone think he flew commercial?) said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that contraception is a key in controlling the proliferation of unusual weather they say is endangering the world.
“Depressing the rate of child mortality, educating girls, empowering women and making fertility management ubiquitously available, so women can chose how many children and the spacing of children… is crucial to the future shape of human civilization,” said Gore, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work on global warming.
Gore said Africa’s population is expected to surpass India’s and China’s by the mid-21st century and will be more than both combined by the end of the century.
The video of him speaking is here, starts at the 15 minute mark. Had anyone on the political Right said this, much less a former US Vice President, they would immediately be labeled a racist for wanting to reduce the population of Africa, which is largely populated by Black people and Arabs.
(The Reference Frame) Al Gore started to talk around 14:55 in the video above and advocated “fertility management” in Africa, something that sounds scary. You could think that he has explicitly talked about forced sterilization but he actually hasn’t – he has left the issue of the methods ambiguous. At any rate, it is very clear that he is obsessed with the idea of the reduction of the number of Africans and in this sense, he is no different than the German Nazis who wanted to gradually phase out Slavs on their stolen territories.

It is impossible not to think that there’s some racism and stunning hypocrisy if a jerk who has produced four children is “working” on the reduction of the number of newborn babies in a completely different nation.
Warmists have long advocated for population reduction for Other People, being extensively linked to the rest of the Progressive agenda, which includes abortion on demand and forced sterilization along racist lines, as the early founders of this movement were eugenicists and racists, particularly against Blacks. Yet, these same Warmists mostly refuse to take themselves out of the gene pool. Many have several children.
“These extreme weather events which are now 100 times more common than 30 years ago are really waking people’s awareness all over the world, and I think that is a game-changer,” Gore said.
Except they aren’t. Unless you count below average temperatures as extreme. And the Gore Effect is in play in Davos, with the daily high temperatures being below average (around 32F-42F for this part of January, depending on the source) for the past few days and expected to be below 27F as a high for the next ten days, with many days into the teens. And snowing every day, which isn’t that unusual.
Anyhow, no one should be surprised that Gore has gone racist.
I’m gone to tell my little brother, that he should also pay a visit this blog
on regular basis to take updated from most recent news update.
Our former Vice President and his lovely (former) wife Tipper produced not one, not two, not three, but four children to consume Gaia’s precious resources. Not only has our Nobel Peace Prize laureate failed to take himself out of the gene pool, but he and his lovely (former) wife added rather significantly to it.
You are so silly. Do you think a rapid increase in the populations of the underdeveloped nations is a good thing for human civilization? Western nations and China have already reduced their fertility rates. Now you’re advocating that we add more disadvantaged people to the parts of the world where the effects of climate change will be the worst! Please be honest for once. Are you driven ideologically to oppose contraception in extremis or do you dislike Al Gore so much that you oppose anything he says?
And your best arguments are: “Al Gore has 4 kids” and “Al Gore flew to Europe”.
I know you’re not interested in facts or evidence or something but here’s a brief primer:

And to think your level of thought permeates half of our elected officials…
Jeff,
You remember your comments about David Duke. Well, you have obviously been listening to the guy. He came out with your exact same observations and it was called ethnic cleansing. Me thinks you are a little more than the average socialist. Oh, I know he said these things as we heard this and more at LSU at noon while we ate. Had little choice in the matter.
According to the Pirate, here’s what former Vice President Gore said regarding population control in Africa:
“Depressing the rate of child mortality, educating girls, empowering women and making fertility management ubiquitously available, so women can chose how many children and the spacing of children… is crucial to the future shape of human civilization,†said Gore.
Making contraceptives ubiquitously available is racist? You guys are silly.
Jeff,
That was David Duke’s exact response to criticism.
What part of Had anyone on the political Right said this, much less a former US Vice President, they would immediately be labeled a racist for wanting to reduce the population of Africa, which is largely populated by Black people and Arabs. did you not understand, Jeff?
100 times more common than 30 years ago????
Gore has got to be the boldest liar in American politics and climate change ‘science’. Thirty times????? WTF does that mean? I know what he wants us to think it means: thirty times the number of hurricanes, thirty times the number of drought days, thirty times the number of storms, or thirty times more powerful storms. All of which are utterly absurd science fiction fantasy ideas. There aren’t even 1% more of any of those things.
Pirate,
This is a tired tactic, not falsifiable, used by the far right ad nauseum. “If a Republican/Conservative/Tea Partier/FOX News had said this…. blah, blah, blah.”
Translation: How dare you call our hypocritical actions hypocritical!
Except that doesn’t reduce populations, but increases them.
Idiots and Communists every one of them.
gitar,
Another non sequitur. You guys are like a textbook of logical fallacies! Criticizing Pirate’s tactic has nothing to do with hypocrisy.
Gumballs,
Yet, those characteristics of advanced nations accompany lower birth rates. Go figure.
Gumballs comes out four square in favor of child mortality!
Educating girls increases the population? The higher the education level the lower the birth rate.
Empowering women increases the population? How?
And you call others idiots.
And are reducing child mortality, educating and empowering women characteristics of communism or were you just blurting out something idiotic?
“Africa is projected to have more people than China.” “fertility management in Africa.”
Channeling Margaret Sanger (who wanted black babies killed) much Al? Where is the media screaming “RACIST” at him???
Sanger quote: We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
And that is just one of her, the founder of Planned Parenthood, nasty little woman that she was.

Actually J, you jump from 3rd world population growth to a population growth model of an established 1st world economic powerhouse. You can’t do that.
Reducing child mortality does not reduce the population as Al Gore and you propose. When one reduces mortality, you increase the number of people living. I know science is hard for you, but do try and keep up with what 1 plus another 1 equals.
When 3rd world girls are given an education, they go through a “freedom” stage. The populace also becomes a bit more enlightened and more healthier. The people demand better living conditions and better health care. People begin to live longer and reproduce more. Again, this is opposite what Al Gore and you state.
it is when it is the government trying to dictate how people live, who will live and who will die. It is also evident from this and your previous posts that you are anti-woman, and more specifically anti-freedom.
That is the position Socialism and Communism takes. They know best who should live, who should be able to defend themselves, and who should die (as this post is all about).
Capitalism and christianity are about making lives better for people. It is about giving them the tools that THEY need to make their own life choices, to make their own reproduction decisions. It is about lifting people out of the morass of gov’t slavery and human bondage.
This is of course completely counter to what you always propose.
