To this day, I can’t read the Joy of Tech comic because I remember their response to Al Gore’s climate activism: “Al Gore is fat, haha”.

Keep watching your cartoons and let the adults do climate politics.

They did try to back peddle in later episodes, but their apology amounted to mostly "we were a little bit wrong, but you (Al Gore) weren't completely right!"

The irony is that he literally helped bomb Iraq (he was Clinton's vice president) for the same oil he's critical about now... What solutions he suggests besides green capitalism ? Hypocrisy is an art

Are you talking about the First Gulf War that he was Clinton's VP for?

The one where Iraq invaded Kuwait, and we freed Kuwait from the Iraqi army, destroyed their scud missiles they rained on civilians, and then left keeping Iraq intact?
