As Appearing on The Daily Caller
Al Gore said that climate change could lead to war. That has not happened. Instead, the climate alarm he helped foment has fueled war.
In his 2007 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Gore stated: “Climate refugees have migrated into areas already inhabited by people with different cultures, religions, and traditions, increasing the potential for conflict.”
Less than 20 years later, we are amid two major wars and trying to prevent a third one. But none of these wars have anything to do with the imaginary phenomenon of “climate refugees.” Rather, they all related to energy policy disasters caused by Gore’s climate advocacy.
Europe’s industrial nations, especially the United Kingdom and Germany, were the first major economies to fall for the climate hoax. They created the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the late-1980s that set out to destroy fossil fuel-based energy systems.
