GORE LIED: Jonah Goldberg: "...Gore is, without question, the most successful fearmonger in America, if not the whole world"

In 2008, when Gore endorsed Barack Obama in part because the Illinois senator represented a break with the "politics of fear."

What's hilarious about this is that Gore is, without question, the most successful fearmonger in America, if not the whole world. He is constantly spinning climate change in the most horrifying terms possible. He asserts global warming as the author of nearly every calamity, inflating threats in order to bully people into agreeing with him. There's no time to argue, do what I say or we're all doomed, is the central message of Al Gore's environmental shtick. And it works for him. It's made him both hugely wealthy and popular in the circles he cares about and it has advanced his agenda further than fair-minded persuasion would.
