Pirate's Cove

See, we can totally reclaim America’s standing with Modern Socialist nations cracking down on their citizens while the Elites refuse to reduce their own carbon footprints, nations with a heck of a lot fewer speech, protest, and press protections

Al Gore: Where I Find Hope
The Biden administration will have the opportunity to restore confidence in America and take on the worsening climate crisis.

This weekend marks two anniversaries that, for me, point a way forward through the accumulated wreckage of the past year.

The first is personal. Twenty years ago, I ended my presidential campaign after the Supreme Court abruptly decided the 2000 election. As the incumbent vice president, my duty then turned to presiding over the tallying of Electoral College votes in Congress to elect my opponent. This process will unfold again on Monday as the college’s electors ratify America’s choice of Joe Biden as the next president, ending a long and fraught campaign and reaffirming the continuity of our democracy.

Well, Dem voters still whine about this, saying the election was stolen, so, I guess Gore can whine about it 20 years on, eh?

The second anniversary is universal and hopeful. This weekend also marks the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Agreement. One of President Trump’s first orders of business nearly four years ago was to pull the United States out of the accord, signed by 194 other nations to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases threatening the planet. With Mr. Trump heading for the exit, President-elect Biden plans to rejoin the agreement on his Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.

Now, with Mr. Biden about to take up residence in the White House, the United States has the chance to reclaim America’s leadership position in the world after four years in the back seat.

Would this be the same Paris Climate Agreement that almost no nation is even close to being in compliance with?

Anyhow, The Goracle also mentions COVID and inequality stuff and

What lies before us is the opportunity to build a more just and equitable way of life for all humankind. This potential new beginning comes at a rare moment when it may be possible to break the stranglehold of the past over the future, when the trajectory of history might be altered by what we choose to do with a new vision.

Ever notice that these Elites always want to build things, and do not give a flying shit about the opinions of the people they are building it for? Why would we want the Government building our economy?

Mr. Biden will take office at a time when humankind faces the choice of life over death. Two years ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned of severe consequences — coastal inundations and worsening droughts, among other catastrophes — if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced by 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050.

Life or death, people! Life or death!
