Transition spokesman Jason Miller told reporters on a conference call Monday that President-elect Donald Trump is not scheduled to meet with Gore.

The President-elect claimed in 2012 that climate change was a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese government in order to undercut the American economy. He later called this claim a "joke."

1. We know about this, but the point is that even though we're dealing with Trump, if...

Gore can in the door to talk to anyone it's at least a tiny step.

[LuckyLib]

2. He's meeting with the daughter of the pResident-elect. Of course. Trump's attention

span wouldn't survive 10 minutes on this topic. I hope Al puts aside the polite and tells Ivanka what she needs to hear -- blatant disregard for science is just plain stupid behavior.

[justhanginon]

11. Gore uses words with way too many syllables and sentences

that continue on longer than a tweet allows. Just out of the morons comfort range and beyond his intellectual capacity. Maybe he'll have his daughter 'splain it to him..

[StevieM]

43. In this case it's dangerous. Game over dangerous. (eom)

[SpankMe]

3. Pure symbolism.

Gore meeting with anyone in the Trump camp is like my Jewish dentist meeting with the Third Reich in Germany, circa 1941. There is no intention by Trump's humpers ("Trump-humper" is my new name for Trump supporters and appointees) to take climate change - or science in general - seriously.

[LenaBaby61]

34. Pure symbolism.

Agree.

SAD to see Gore play himself. She's AS bad as her predator.

Nothing of value comes out of that tower belonging to that racist, p***y-grabbing criminal.

[BeyondGeography]

4. And the thought bubble over his head says

The shit I've got to do...

[4139]

5. Beware of Trumpets bearing gifts!

😮

[kacekwl]

40. AL AL AL , Two things

One Please bring someone with you to records this meeting on video and Two check your watch and wallet are still there before you leave. I seen no upside meeting with any of the Manson family before they take office. Be careful.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. How utterly demeaning.

[niyad]

7. exactly what qualifications does this clothing designer (stolen designs, no less) have to

discuss climate change with former president gore?

[underpants]

9. I remember Repub hating when family members are in the policy game

yeah I seem to remember how up in arms they were about it.

[niyad]

10. anything goes if one is a puke, apparently.

[geek tragedy]

15. access to the president-elect nt

[tinrobot]

18. Who should she discuss it with? Calvin Klein?

If you're going to discuss climate change, Al Gore is a good choice.

She certainly has the ear of her father, so Vice President Gore should certainly have the conversation.

[hamsterjill]

28. Exactly.

This makes me sick. Poor Al is always just getting shit upon.

His meeting with her legitimizes her, and I don't like it. I don't like a lot of what is going on, of course, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop saying it.

[Cha]

41. I hear she likes the environment wants to save it.

[niyad]

45. will take your word on that.

[Sunlei]

12. Because Ivanka Trump said she wants to "play" First Lady with "climate change" as First Lady "cause"

Climate change is not a cause.

[niyad]

16. except that melania will be (barring a miracle) the first lady.

dear ivanka will be first daughter.

(her comment makes me think that everything we think about donnie and ivanka is true)

[Sunlei]

19. melania will not be allowed to leave donalds tower or his direct control.

[Dr. Mullion Blasto]

35. I think Ivanka becomes First Daughter and Melania is rarely seen again.

With her shady past and strong accent - not such a good optic for the Orange Menace.

Plus she's a tad long in the tooth now, too, not young and gorgeous like Ivanka.

Can you imagine the competition for his attention between those two women? I bet they despise each other.

Tiffany is lucky she's "out in the cold." One thing I noticed at the rethug convention - real genuine smiles were exchanged between Tiffany and Barron - maybe they both feel like outsiders.

[niyad]

42. well, tiffany has blathered about what a loving, involved dad he was. choke!!

did you notice at the end of the rnc when barron was standing in front of the persimmon pussygrabber, donnie put his hands on barron's shoulders--he shrugged them off and stepped away.

somebody is going to repost all those nude pics of melanoma.

[Javaman]

13. the should have been president meeting the real unelected president.

after the orange psychopath is sworn in, he will just phone it in, while his daughter actually runs things.

[wordpix]

22. "he will just phone it in, while his daughter actually runs things"

So true. And who knows what Ivanka stands for on any issue?

[geek tragedy]

14. if this is how the planet is saved, so be it, nt

[think]

25. Yup...

[OKNancy]

17. Ivanka and her husband are unfortunately the best hope we have

Formerly both Democrats, friends ( or former?) with Chelsea Clinton....
less crazy that the Don. Perhaps a calming influence.

It's terrible isn't it?

[C Moon]

20. I'm sure there were several others either there, or on a speaker phone.

[jg10003]

21. Al is humbling himself in order to save the world, thus showing what a great man he is.

Gore is very rich; he could just say "fuck it all, I'm going to buy a 200 foot yacht and spend my life sailing around the world." Instead he subjects himself to the indignity of trying to explain to Ivanka Trump that science is real. Bravo Mr. President.

[wordpix]

23. Ivanka, please nominate Pres. Gore for Sec. of Energy

He would be a great one!

Of course, we're likely to get Sarah Palin and her ilk instead

[Yorkist]

31. Or....

......Sarah Palin and her elk ?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. She's Gloria to Trump's Archie?

Doubt it.

[kebob]

26. WTF?

Al, this is beneath you!

[FreeStateDemocrat]

27. Report: Al Gore's net worth at $200 million - CBS News

Global warming is good business for the one percenters!!!

Great "optics" Al keep up the work and make him appear legitimate.

I don't buy this BS move on his part, he ain't dumb, so it must be good for his business interests.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-al-gores-net-worth-at-200-million/

[jg10003]

38. Al always said that environmentalism is good business

Big business has long claimed that environmentalism costs jobs and is not profitable. Gore's success proves otherwise.

[McKim]

29. I am Deeply Disappointed

I am deeply disappointed with Al Gore. It should be beneath his dignity to meet with these idiots. Let them flounder and screw up.

[jg10003]

39. I don't want them to screw up the environment

Maybe Al feels that climate change is more important then his dignity. Maybe he thinks that he has to at least try to make Trump understand how important climate change is.

[B2G]

30. He met with Trump.

[MFM008]

32. very very disappointed

the only reason maggot wanted to have him come there was to bow to the king and rub in what happened to him in 2000.
Thats it. He has NO INTEREST IN CLIMATE CHANGE.

[hamsterjill]

37. Dems need to be very careful how they characterize any meeting with the orange maggot.

Anything that they say about Trump that is positive will be used down the line to show submission and agreement.

When they come out of ANY meeting, the standard response needs to be "no comment" until such time as the true purpose of the meeting is known and any opportunity for Trump to spin the results of the meeting has passed.

Give it a few days and ask Romney about this!!! I fully believe he was set up by Trump, and when Romney came out and praised Trump subsequent to their meeting, he lost all relevance. If Romney now goes back and tries to criticize Trump, no one will ever listen to him again because he caved and kissed Trump's ass. Which is exactly what Trump wanted him to do before Trump reaches out and squishes him.

[alarimer]

33. Nobody elected her to do shit.

She needs to go far away. Although those who say she is more, er, moderate on things are probably right.

This whole family belongs in prison. Nothing but grifters.

[LiberalLovinLug]

36. I was thinking just how different the other side and the MSM would be reporting this....

....if Hillary had won, and before she was even sworn in, Chelsea was appointed some position that oversaw some department that the right feels threatened by, like gun control. And she was meeting with Wayne LaPierre to hear an opinion from the other side.

[Generator]

44. I will say something positive

U never know what insane thing you are going to read next. At least these aren't boring times oh no no no thank you Chinese curse. Weird fucking reality man.l

[niyad]

46. according to various news feeds I read, former president gore actually met with

persimmon pussygrabber after speaking with ivanka.

[DeminPennswoods]

47. At least she's sane

And she's good buds with Chelsea Clinton.

I wish the grifter was wasn't going to be president, but since he is, I welcome any and all sane people he surrounds himself with, including Ivanka.

[TuslaUltra]

48. if there's just one or two climate deals not torn up

because of something Gore said, or some implicit threat he made, then the world will be all the better for it. Fact is that Trump will be POTUS on January 20, so best try to ameliorate it the best we can, rather than deny it or try futilely to stop it (like hoping the EC stops him; its a rubber stamp)
