Former Vice President Al Gore warned of a potential crisis, suggesting that failure to adopt the political Left’s climate agenda could lead to a billion “climate refugees.”
He emphasized the need to achieve true net zero greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources.
Gore criticized the influence of fossil fuel companies and stressed the urgency of addressing climate change to avoid catastrophic consequences predicted by scientists. (Trending: Trump Releases Must-See Christmas Message)
Gore said, “We still have the ability to seize control of our destiny.”
“If we stop adding to the overburden of these greenhouse gas pollutants in the sky, if we reach what they call true net zero and stop adding to the heat-trapping capacity up there, the temperatures will stop going up right away,” continued the former Vice President.
“And if we stay at true net zero, half of the human-caused greenhouse pollution will fall out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to 30 years,” said Gore.
Gore claimed, “We can do this if we just overcome the greed and political power of the big fossil fuel polluters, who’ve been trying to control this process.”
“We have to make a decision to get past fossil fuels and start accelerating the shift over to renewable energy and efficiency,” added the former politician.
“The scientists who warned us of these megastorms, and the floods, and mudslides, and droughts, and the ice melting, and the sea level rising, and the storms getting stronger, and the tropical diseases, and climate migrants crossing international borders in larger numbers, they were dead right when they warned us about this,” insisted Gore.
“And so we need to pay more attention to them now. Here’s one thing they say. If we don’t take action, there could be as many as one billion climate refugees crossing international borders in the next several decades,” concluded Gore.
