Al Gore Will Cap Off A Disappointing Year With A 24-Hour Global Warming Broadcast

Former Vice President Al Gore is preparing to host another 24-hour-long broadcast to to sound the alarm on manmade global warming, capping off a disappointing year for the world’s most famous climate activist.

WATCH GORE’S LAST GLOBAL WARMING TOWN HALL FIASCO:

Gore’s environmental group will put on “24 Hours of Reality” broadcast in early December, which will feature celebrity guest appearances, including actress Helen Hunt, musical performances and segments on what different parts of the world are doing about global warming.

As in past years, the Climate Reality Project, Gore’s activist group, claims millions will tune in to the broadcast, which will be hosted by Gore himself from New York City — ironically, labelled the world’s most wasteful city.

Gore’s 24 hours of global warming activism will cap off a rather disappointing year for the former vice president.

For starters, President Donald Trump completely ignored Gore’s advice and announced that he would withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord. Gore was a major backer of the Paris accord, which the Obama administration joined in 2015. Gore met with president-elect Trump in Trump Tower in 2016, where he personally implored him to stay in the Paris accord.

Gore even told reporters as late as April 2017 there was “a better than 50/50 chance that the Trump administration will decide to stay in the Paris Agreement.” His optimism was dashed in June.

If that wasn’t enough, the next installment of Gore’s “Inconvenient” films performed poorly at the box office, and was even panned by liberal critics.

Critics relentlessly attacked “An Inconvenient Sequel” as a self-indulgent tribute to himself. For example, famed movie critic Roger Ebert’s website said the film’s “other subject — the planet he’s trying to save — is pushed to the side every time his travails take center stage.”

AND WATCH A LIST OF SOME OF THE LATEST GLOBAL WARMING FAILS:

The Daily Caller New Foundation’s own review of the film came to this conclusion: “Al Gore’s New Movie Is 100 Minute Tribute To Al Gore.”

Moviegoers seemed to be harsher critics. Gore’s film tanked at the box office, finishing 16th at the box office in its second week in theaters — the first weekend in August, the film opened up to 180 theaters from just four in July.

In total, “An Inconvenient Sequel” earned just $5.4 million in theaters around the world, according to Box Office Mojo. Gore’s 2006 film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” earned nearly $50 million.

Adding insult to injury, the e-book accompanying Gore’s film was outsold by an e-book debunking “An Inconvenient Sequel.” Climate scientist Roy Spencer published his book in August, and it quickly overtook Gore’s place on Amazon’s Kindle store.

Spencer’s book reached 17th on Amazon’s best seller list for nonfiction books for the week of Sept. 10.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
