More Great News! Al Gore is hung out on his own. It couldn't happen to a better fraudster.
That climate conference is back on… but not at the CDC
POSTED AT 8:01 AM ON JANUARY 27, 2017 BY JAZZ SHAW
Earlier this week we were notified that a long planned, three day conference on climate change and its effects on health, scheduled to be hosted by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, had been abruptly cancelled. At the time they were offering no concrete reason for the cancellation, only saying that they were looking into possibilities of holding it later this year.
What a difference a few days makes. The conference is back on! Well… sort of. There will be a conference, but it won’t be at the CDC. The federal government won’t be involved and it’s being (re)organized by Al Gore. (WaPo)
It turns out there will be a conference in Atlanta next month about climate change and its effects on public health. It just won’t have the federal government behind it.
The reason? Former vice president Al Gore.
“He called me and we talked about it and we said, ‘There’s still a void and still a need.’ We said, ‘Let’s make this thing happen,’ ” said Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. “It was a no-brainer.”
Looking at the details, it’s actually rather misleading to say that the meeting is back on. There will be a meeting, but it’s going to be held at the Carter Center in Atlanta. (Yes, the one founded by Jimmy Carter.) And rather than being paid for on the taxpayer dime, it’s being funded by a group of NGOs including the Turner Foundation, the Harvard Global Health Institute and the Climate Reality Project. (That last one is Al Gore’s own pet project.) As to the CDC, it’s still unclear if any of their staff will be attending or, if they do, whether they’ll be doing it on their own time or as official representatives of the federal government.
Obviously there’s nothing wrong with this in terms of government policy. It’s now a privately owned and operated conference which isn’t taking up any taxpayer money or creating government policy. If they want to have a meeting and pay for it themselves, more power to them. But this rapid evolution does give us the opportunity to ask why the conference was being hosted by the CDC in the first place.
