A billion individuals will become “climate refugees” if the international community does not adopt the political Left’s climate agenda, former vice president Al Gore predicted in an interview over the weekend.
During a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with presenter Jake Tapper, Gore made the aforementioned prediction.
“We still have the ability to seize control of our destiny. If we stop adding to the overburden of these greenhouse gas pollutants in the sky, if we reach what they call true net zero and stop adding to the heat-trapping capacity up there, the temperatures will stop going up right away. And if we stay at true net zero, half of the human-caused greenhouse pollution will fall out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to 30 years.” Gore said.
“We can do this if we just overcome the greed and political power of the big fossil fuel polluters, who’ve been trying to control this process. We have to make a decision to get past fossil fuels and start accelerating the shift over to renewable energy and efficiency.” he continued.
“The scientists who warned us of these megastorms, and the floods, and mudslides, and droughts, and the ice melting, and the sea level rising, and the storms getting stronger, and the tropical diseases, and climate migrants crossing international borders in larger numbers, they were dead right when they warned us about this. And so we need to pay more attention to them now. Here’s one thing they say. If we don’t take action, there could be as many as one billion climate refugees crossing international borders in the next several decades.” Gore added.
