Al Gore: Crusader against the climate crisis

Lee Cowan interviews the former Vice President and Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore on his second career as an advocate against climate change – and against climate change deniers. Gore, who is featured in a new documentary, “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” talks about his efforts to sway President Donald Trump to maintain America’s participation in the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, and how advances in energy technology make him more optimistic about changing the course of the Earth’s future.

  1. Does Al Gore realize that before he (a politician) got into the debate, it wasn't political? Can't be upset that its political when your a politician.

  2. he crusades only on things with a questionable basis… he never points to anything on the same scale as Hansen's 2016 ACP study…. or he employs misdirection… talking about Fires in Indonesia or "ice slowly melting" when it ain't about that…. the oil guys are happier with Gore (and CBS News) than they are with Cruz. make it political instead of science.

  3. Whatever you think of Al Gore, I appreciate the he continues to fight to take action on climate change. We need to motivate millennials to take up the cause

  4. "I think I'll leave my huge, energy-eating mansion and hop into my private jet and go somewhere and give a speech on how we should care more about reducing CO2 than we do about those in 3rd world countries who would starve without fossil fuels." Al Gore

  5. Al Gore wants more of our money.
    he may get that that money over the short term but ashot time after that he will ether be murdered or just be painted in a very bad light

  6. global warming is a false narrative being used to usher in the carbon tax. The only warming taking place is the intentional spraying of aerosols in the atmosphere which prevents the suns rays from reflecting off of the earth and trapping the generated heat beneath the aerosol layer.

  7. Conservatives being so butthurt that anybody dares speak up against pollution and wanting to protect our environment speaks worlds about how pathetic and ignorant they are.

  8. Good grief…. There has been NO global warming measured over the last 19 years! So where's he get…. 'has increased since 2001'? I have no idea other than to call him a bald-faced LIAR. And what happened to his Arctic ice completely melting by 2014…? That did not happen…. GEESH ! when is this man gonna quit and hand back his Nobel prize ? Profiteering scare monger. The ISPP have been using computer models which other REAL scientists are saying are woefully inaccurate, GEESH these folks even have to corrupt their data to fit their own agenda… I have ascertained that this planet (and solar system in general) is cyclical, and no matter what we do here on Earth, things heat up and things cool down ( I would direct your inquisitive minds to new and previous research which has and does state that our Sun is now entering a cooling down period and that we will be experiencing a coming ice age; Further to that, ice core samples from Antarctica show periods in our past with much higher levels of C02 than todays level. Now THAT should worry you, because should that much ice melt it will release vast quantities of methane trapped in the ice as well as C02. but it beats me as to how the methane got into the ice to begin with, shrimp farts maybe…..? And it is not a virtual unanimous scientific community, far from it . You should INVESTIGATE that claim of a 99% consesus.. it's a blatant fraud..There has been NO increase in global Tornadoes, Floods, Droughts, Rainstorms et et… It's all well documented, Satellite imagery and measurments over last 25 years show NO increase in global temps, so, the climate change bureau of misinformation 'adjusted' those figures to fit their own thesis. also the Medieval warm period has been 'squashed' to produce their 'Hockey stick' graph for the same reasons. CONCLUSION: There has been a rise in man-made C02 but nowhere near enough to affect global temperatures, we see, instead, a general world wide greening and higher crop yields. which is quite a benefit, that for all recorded levels of C02 over our entire history these times are still its lowest. When dinosaurs lived there was 80% more C02 than today, maybe more…. INvestigate these things yourself.. and NEVER believe what a self-serving politician tells you. Oh! And…… Have a Nice Day…..

  11. I WANT AL GORE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD !!!!!!! This Bastard is now $300 Million dollars richer because of this global fraud. There needs to be a thorough international investigation into how Al Gore got his money.

  12. You've got to be out of your mind to believe that there's nothing wrong with pumping shit into the atmosphere! You wouldn't put your nose to an exhaust pipe unless you were suicidal. So why would you want to breathe in just a small fraction of that.

  15. How the sea level rises depends on where you live. Where I live in Stockholm, until now we still had the land rising after the last ice-age, but now the sea level rises faster than the land. And in south Sweden and also in Central and south Europe there is definitely a rise of sea level. Indisputable facts .

  16. Hey dumb ass, go to Florida and check out hurricane Irma and see if the sea level is rising, you stupid red-neck shit.
