Al Gore: This Is the Moment to Take On the Climate Crisis | TED



Lighting up the TED stage, Nobel laureate and climate advocate Al Gore takes stock of the current state of climate progress and calls attention to institutions that have failed to honor their promises by continuing to pour money into polluting sectors. He explains how the financial interests of fossil fuel companies have blocked the policymaking process in key countries — and calls for a global epiphany to take on the climate crisis. “Do not give up hope,” Gore says. “And remember always that political will is itself a renewable resource.”

  1. Funny all the tree huggers hold this man in their keepsakes as a great climate activist. He only helped create the massive legislation to keep other oil producers from gaining a foothold while giving his family and friends who were heavily invested in Occidental Petroleum access to public lands to drill for oil. The first time public access was granted in our history. And it continues.

  4. Between Al Gore and John Kerry, Climate Czar, it's a contest to see who has the largest carbon footprint and burns the most fossil fuels private jetting around the world. We still have winters and snow, Al. The Inconvenient truth is your 10 years were up in 2016. We either use fossil fuels to supply around the clock energy or nuclear power, because the sun doesn't shine nor the wind blow all the time. And we didn't forget your carbon offset ponzi scheme.

  5. 🆘 Remember, when Al Gore and all the Democrat global warming alarmist told us, this was going to happen.⬇️
    1960’s oil will be gone in 10 years.
    1970’s another Ice Age in 10 years.
    1980’s acid rain would destroy all crops in 10 years.
    1990’s the ozone layer will be destroyed in 10 years.
    2000’s the ice caps will be gone in 10 years.
    Well folks none of these predictions by liberal global warming alarmist and Al Gore happened. But Al Gore became a $multimillionaire$ telling the lies.

  6. Al Gore doesn't understand that fossil fuels created the modern world and it's the modern world that keeps us safe. Fossil fuels mitigate and neutralize threats from warming. All of his policy demands create poverty and poverty is the threat not warming.
