Covid was no joke, 3 million people died despite the entire world grinding to a halt and hiding in their houses for months. Sea levels are up 10 cm since Gore was VP and it's accelerating.

  61 milion people died in 2023 with and without covid. Al Gore predicted 20ft by 2016 not 10cm.

    > Al Gore predicted I see no predictions by him. What I do see are examples of him selectively quoting other people and that he was in turn selectively quoted himself. This is also why you shouldn't rely on politicians for anything. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ice-caps-melt-gore-2014/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ice-caps-melt-gore-2014/

        "Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize." Which was extra ironic, given Kissinger reportedly said to Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin "I figure it like Groucho Marx said 'any club that took him in he would not want to join'. I would say that anything Lê Đức Thọ is eligible for, there must be something wrong with it." while Lê Đức Thọ declined the prize, on grounds that such "bourgeois sentimentalities" were not for him and that the Paris Peace Accords (for which he and Kissinger had been awarded the prize) were not being adhered to in full.

    No matter how you spin this covid brought up 25 mln of excess death. That massive event, which is so foreign to "normies" minds that the majority just ignore the number.

  25 mln of excess death.

    Where did you get that number? I initially just looked up WHO's estimate which turns out quite the lowball compared to what everyone else is listing, but most sources I can find seem to say something around 5-9M. I suppose it most depends on just how much China is fudging their numbers since they had the most people exposed at the worst time.
