Al Gore has spent decades lecturing the world about climate change from the comfort of elite globalist gatherings.
Now the failed presidential candidate just got a taste of what happens when someone fights back.
And Al Gore threw a tantrum when Howard Lutnick exposed him face-to-face in Davos with this ugly truth.
Trump's Commerce Secretary Crashes the Davos Party
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick traveled to Davos, Switzerland this week for the World Economic Forum's annual gathering of global elites.
The Trump Administration didn't go there to kiss rings.
Lutnick made that crystal clear during a Tuesday night dinner hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
More than 100 world leaders packed into the invite-only event expecting the usual Davos platitudes about cooperation and multilateralism.
They got something completely different.
Lutnick tore into Europe's energy policies and economic underperformance compared to the United States.
The Commerce Secretary hammered European countries for abandoning reliable energy in favor of green fantasies that left them dependent on China.
"We are here at Davos to make one thing crystal clear: With President Trump, capitalism has a new sheriff in town," Lutnick declared.
He warned that the days of America subsidizing failed globalist experiments were over.
That's when Al Gore couldn't take it anymore.
The Climate Crusader Loses His Cool
Gore sat in the audience listening to Lutnick dismantle everything the former Vice President spent decades promoting.
Multiple witnesses confirmed Gore started booing during Lutnick's speech.
The 76-year-old climate activist couldn't contain his outrage at hearing someone challenge the green energy orthodoxy.
Gore tried to spin his tantrum later by claiming he "sat and listened" without interrupting.
That's not what other attendees saw.
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde walked out of the dinner entirely during Lutnick's remarks.
BlackRock's Fink ended up shutting down the entire event before dessert was even served.
The Commerce Department later confirmed that Gore was the only person who booed.
"During Secretary Lutnick's three-minute speech, no one left hastily," a Commerce Department spokesperson stated.
"Only one person booed, and it was Al Gore."
Gore defended his outburst by attacking Trump's energy policies.
"It's no secret that I think this administration's energy policy is insane," Gore said.
"And at the end of his speech I reacted with how I felt, and so did several others."
Follow the Money to Gore's Climate Empire
Gore's tantrum makes perfect sense once you see what Lutnick actually threatened.
The failed 2000 presidential candidate built a fortune off climate activism after leaving office.
He co-founded Generation Investment Management, an investment firm focused on "sustainable" businesses that depend on government mandates.
Gore also chairs The Climate Reality Project while jetting around the world to lecture working families about their carbon footprints.
His 2006 propaganda film An Inconvenient Truth won an Academy Award and helped Gore collect the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
But Gore's climate predictions have been spectacularly wrong.
He claimed during a 2009 Copenhagen speech that there was "a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years."
That prediction failed.
The ice cap is still there.
Gore compared climate change to "Thermopylae, Agincourt, Dunkirk, the Battle of the Bulge, and 9/11" at Davos in 2020.
The man has been predicting apocalypse for decades while getting richer every time governments implement his policies.
Lutnick showed up and exposed the whole racket.
The Commerce Secretary wrote that Trump came to Davos "not to uphold the status quo" but "to confront it head-on."
"For far too long, the fate of the global economy has been decided by an international establishment who took America's economic power and gave it to the rest of the world," Lutnick wrote.
Gore is that establishment.
He convinced Europe to abandon coal and natural gas for windmills and solar panels that don't work when you need them.
Germany followed Gore's advice and ended up dependent on Russian natural gas while their energy costs skyrocketed.
American factory workers lost jobs to regulations Gore championed while he collected speaking fees and investment returns.
Lutnick called out this scam in front of the same elites who profited from it.
That's why Gore lost his cool.
Trump's America First energy policy threatens to unravel Gore's entire climate operation.
The Commerce Secretary told the Davos crowd that globalization "has failed the West and the United States of America."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent piled on by mocking European leaders panicking over Trump's policies.
"Calm down the hysteria," Bessent told them.
The Trump Administration is destroying decades of globalist schemes that enriched people like Gore while crushing American workers.
Gore's childish booing at a dinner for billionaires shows you everything you need to know about whose side he's on.
