America’s passing of its first ever climate legislation will prove a pivotal moment in history that will help bring to an end the era of fossil fuels, according to Al Gore, the former US vice-president.

Climate activist and former Democratic Vice President Al Gore on Sunday said “climate deniers” were comparable to the police officers who failed to act during the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Appearing as a guest on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Gore assailed Republicans and tactics like the Senate filibuster for preventing Democrats from passing legislation to tackle global warming. Gore compared “climate deniers” in Congress to police officers who were equipped and trained to deal with mass shooters, but failed to stop the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

The visitor looked to his left as he stepped onto Fifth Avenue but forgot that in America traffic flows the opposite direction than in his native England. He never saw the car coming.

“I do not understand why,” Winston Churchill later said of being hit by a car that night in New York City in December 1931, “I was not broken like an eggshell or squashed like a gooseberry.”

Cryptic comment made in reference to President Trump

President-elect Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka met with former Vice President Al Gore Monday to discuss climate change. Trump has rejected global scientific consensus and called climate change a Chinese hoax. This comes as the volcano peaks of Hawaii’s Big Island have been hit by nearly three feet of snow—with meteorologists warning more is on the way.

President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has called climate change a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, met on Monday with the climate-activist extraordinaire Al Gore, offering environmental activists a glimmer of hope that the Trump administration’s policies will moderate from his campaign pledges to scrap all efforts to stem the warming of the planet.

Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, was just about to come out. A libertarian think tank had published attack ads against it. My co-facilitator and I brought them together.
