RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HOST: "So we heard the reverend earlier speak a little bit about morality. Do you feel that the climate issue is a moral issue as well?" 
GORE: "Absolutely. At its heart it never should have been a political issue or an ideological issue. It is a moral issue. It is a spiritual issue. Of course it is. And on the other side of what's -- of doing what's right is greed. Greed and the manipulation of facts, to conceal the truth, in order to distort what our democracy ought to be deciding, in order to serve the city of these these a these special interest. So of course, not long from now txz next generation will ask one of two questions depending on the decisions we make in this time period. If they have tropical diseases spreading northward, in the southern hemisphere southward to where the big populations are. If there is chaos and civil unrest because governments can't govern themselves in these conditions, if there are stronger floods and deeper droughts and more powerful storms and the melting ice and sea level, all of that stuff, what would they think about what we did to leave them with that? That's a moral question and we would see it, if we had a time machine and could go into the future and be with them, when they are just asking, what in the world? Why?"
