Al Gore: ‘Once We Reach True Net Zero ... the Temperatures Will Stop Going Up Almost Immediately’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GORE: "Thank you, Christiane, for devoting the time and attention you are to this crucial issue. I remember when you were covering the earth summit back in 1992. I think Bill Weir is doing an outstanding job and I think he’s got it about right. It’s tricky to balance the dire warnings that the scientists have been trying to get us to listen to for a long time, and of course you know the scientists turned out to be spot on correct in what they warned about years ago. So we should pay for attention to the warnings they’re issuing now. If we do not sharply reduce the burning of fossil fuel, the climate crisis is really a fossil fuel crisis, that’s 80% of it. And we have this mandate now to transition away from fossil fuels. If we do not do that quickly, what the scientists are telling us is that things are going to get a lot worse and cause great havoc. But there’s great hope. You have to balance the warnings with the fact that there is really good news, as bill says, people are working on it. But here is some good news from the scientists as well.”
