Al Gore urges world leaders, says 'it is not time for moral cowardice'
AP , Monday 7 Nov 2022

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore urged dozens of leaders on Monday to cooperate on the issue of climate change giving world leaders an ultimatum, "Choose life over death" he said, "it is not time for moral cowardice".
 
Leaders of poorer climate-struck nations were also eager to have their say, pointing their fingers at richer countries saying the should be held accountable for their actions.

Most of the leaders who pleaded for action came from poor nations that caused little of the pollution but often get a larger share of the weather-related damage. Several called on developed nations for reparations, which in climate negotiations is called "loss and damage." Many were from Africa and small island nations.

"Africa should not pay for crimes they have not committed,'' Central African Republic President Faustin Archange Touadera said, adding that rich nations were to blame for the climate problem.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Has ManBearPig been right about any of his scaremongering, even just a tiny little bit? He is the original Greta, ignorant and controlled by others. Hey Algore was life good when your family was getting all that Occidental Petroleum cash, what exactly was daddy doing to get all that Hammer money?

From which one of his mansions did he make his declaration
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
