Ugh: Al Gore Just Had an "Extremely Interesting" Conversation About Climate Change With Ivanka Trump... and Donald Trump Himself

Ivanka's a stone-cold liberal and climate alarmist (naturally), and she's one of Trump's closest advisers. He seems to trust her more than anyone else.

So it's a problem that she was meeting with him.

It's even more of a problem that Trump decided to show up for the meeting himself.

I hope there's enough people warning Trump on this.

s Donald Trump continues to indicate that he might be willing to change his position on climate change, which he has long called a "hoax," the president-elect met Monday with former vice president Al Gore, who has become a prominent activist in the fight against global warming.
Gore was originally scheduled to meet just with Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is not registered with a political party and has already pushed her father to adopt positions usually promoted by Democrats. Gore told reporters that after that meeting, he then had "an extremely interesting conversation" with the president-elect.
"I had a lengthy and very productive session with the president-elect. It was a sincere search for areas of common ground," Gore told reporters after spending about 90 minutes at Trump Tower in Manhattan during the lunch-hour on Monday. "I had a meeting beforehand with Ivanka Trump. The bulk of the time was with the president-elect, Donald Trump. I found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued, and I'm just going to leave it at that."

I've got that queasy feeling coming on again. I knew we wouldn't win.

Winning an election is not the same as actually winning, if the guy who won is actually against you.

What idiots told other people to vote for this guy?

5 Just because someone goes to a meeting doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Remember-- he's a business man, not a politician.

So while Gore is thinking he got a theoretical audience with the Pope, perhaps Trump is just thinking "Yeah, I should sit in on this meeting to see what the Idiot is going to tell my Daughter. That way if we argue about it later, I was in the room and know exactly what ManBearPig said."

Remember: Populist. He's going to do what benefits him the most, and that's going to be what keeps most of his base happy. A lot of people believe in AGW, and so doing *something* (even something relatively minor) or at least not overturning certain things already in place will be good politics for Trump.

Alternatively, he may be building support for nuking the EPA after two (or is it 3?) river spills in Colorado...

Look for Trump to appoint Romney as Special Ambassador to Negotiate a Permanent Peace in the Middle East.

And then Trump will then appoint Al Gore as Special Representative to Negotiate Global Warming with the Sun. Elon Musk will be contracted to build a special spaceship to transport Gore to the Sun.

Posted by: zmdavid

Heh. THAT may actually be what Trump is up to. Brilliant!

In stone-cold reality, if you want to look at which nations are REALLY contributing over 90% of carbon emissions annually, they are:

1. China
2. India
3. Indonesia

Why those three? China has massive amounts of factories and coal power plants; India has almost no pollution controls and 1.4 billions people; and Indonesia not only has factories and no pollution controls and tons of people but they ALSO do a slash-and-burn type of agriculture that sends uncountable tons of soot and carbon into air every season.

Combined, those three nations are responsible for "the problem" (in the hypothetical scenario that you consider it a problem, which I don't).

So, just to troll Gore and the left, Trump might come out and say, "Yes, humankind is pumping too much carbon into the atmosphere. So let's do everything we can to rein in China, India and Indonesia, and move manufacturing back to the US, where we have great pollution controls!"

A large part of why this election is so similar to - yet uglier than - 1980 and 2000.

Our government isn't designed to be trusted, it's designed for verification - which has largely been replaced with dependency in one form or another.

Each instance of that isn't automatically terrible, but as a pattern it's destructive. It's hard (bordering on impossible) not to fall into this trap, as history demonstrates.

It's not that the data doesn't support it, it just that nagging feeling everyone gets when someone is trying to con you. You know something is off and you really don't need the undercoating.

The only thing worse than a con man is the people he has already conned coming to his defense. The true believers know deep down they got conned but need to save face and support the lie.

Agreed. It's not Vulcan chess, but Trump's cultivation of an attention-starved has-been cost him nothing, and gained him "at least Trump is talking climate!" street-cred (read: declawing) with the odd-smelling people.

He can't talk re-industrialization of the Rust Belt and climate at the same time, and I'd wager he's committed to the former over the latter.

But what if we applied Cheney's precautionary principle to AGW, considered the worst-case scenarios and their associated probabilities, and looked into eliminating govt-enabled market inefficiencies that create negative externalities and gutting less-than-useless regulatory agencies like the EPA? Trump's infrastructure program could be an opportunity to reshape the issue.

So, what's wrong with a few carbon credits or cap and trade?

Can laws, treaties, government, transnational actions halt any change in the climate? Doubtful at best. But such laws are a good way to gain control over the human race, which is the goal. One Trump better understand as inimical to freedom and business too.

He's being seen talking to many on all sides of every issue. That's the bringing people together and why would it be automatically thought that those brought up are the changing his mind? Why not the other way around? That he is persuading them to work with and/or for his agenda for America. Or at least not actively oppose him.

Hah. I'm also seeing the news on FB that designer Tom Ford called Melania a glorified escort and is refusing to dress her. I'm not finding any actual quotes on him calling her an escort, I think that is fake news. But he's said he has no plans to dress her and probably would not have dressed Hillary either.

The only time he agreed to dress Michelle was for the queen. I remember that dress, it was tackily horrible. Melania is better off finding her own stuff. But if she buys off the rack Tom Ford to wear for inaugural stuff, just to troll him and tick him off, I would happily hail her as the queen of shade.

268 Not only the data.... but the underlying premise is..... retarded.

Yeah, the math and the science don't add up, the models are skewed, the real world experience shows there's no runaway dangerous warming, the glaciers are growing in a lot of areas, the arctic is sheeting back up, on and on it goes. Every single prediction they've made has been wrong. EVER DAMNED ONE.

Environmental nonsense is a big, festering issue in these communities that is a real job killer. Rural voters USED to be big Democrat voters but the party decided to cast its lot with San Francisco tech moguls instead.

Trump is much better off ignoring Millenial voters that will never cast a vote for him. He's never going to be the guy that wins over this crowd.

331 Relax, Ace. A decade ago I used to love sending people to RealClimate to learn about
global warming, because the behaviour of the people operating it would
turn them into solid skeptics. The actual text of the New York Times interview shows Trump has lots of
arguments from the skeptic side already in his head. It's all he needs,
because the climate warriors are wrong, and there claims are built
around 97% consensus, we're doomed, models prove it, etc, that are not
convincing to people who have heard the other side.

Search for 'Trump Ali G interview'. He is excellent at recognizing a con.

337 (1) Kinda sounds like Trump is looking to appease his daughter and the AGW crazies in some superficial way. Let's face it - they're fools, and are easily impressed by this sort of thing. They assume if somebody will JUST LISTEN, they'll "see the light".

(2) The whole goal of the AGW crazies is to stand in the way of all the things that are critical to Trump's success, so he's not going to pay a damn bit of attention.

(3) All we've heard about the meet is from Gore. All we have to do is take what Gore says, and assume it was the exact opposite. 'Cause Gore's - first and foremost - a lying weasel, and a con man.
