Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
He's a right dodgy cunt. We didn't even elect the corrupt fuck. Actually fuming. He's completely in the pockets of oil companies. His wife's company made a $1.5bn deal with BP six weeks prior to confirming the new oil and gas licenses.
I can’t find anything corroborating what you said. Do you have a source?
He made one of the biggest early documentaries about global warming soon after losing the election, An Inconvenient Truth, and has devoted his life to climate change activism. All I’m seeing are reports that he spent a lot of effort making sure his investments are green.
edit: Got it, it's about Rishi Sunak! That makes a lot more sense.
itt: you've misidentified "he"
The person you're replying to is talking about Rishi Sunak, not Al Gore.
Between this and Biden and Xi not even attending the climate summit in New York, we're hopeless to actually get the people in charge to do anything real.
We're a train barreling toward disaster with the conductor(s) having drinks in the back.
They weren't invited to speak at the summit because of national emissions.
This week, Mr. Guterres, a seasoned politician from Portugal now in his second and last term as the head of the United Nations, is trying a new diplomatic wink-and-nod tactic. He is hosting a summit on Wednesday at which countries that have accelerated their plans to phase out fossil fuels are being invited to speak, and only if they send cabinet-level or more senior leaders. To show that they take the summit seriously.
This is correct, but the link leads to the wrong article. The one you are talking about is here, I suppose.
When one thinks about it, it's a quite genius move. He can't name and shame, because that would be a breach of diplomatic protokoll, but as the host he can decide whom to give a voice. And by making the demands he is made he exposed those Nations that don't realy give a fuck.
I like him.
Definitely agree that it's an awesome move.
I linked to a live upate article with the part I quoted buried down in it; you need to scroll down to find it. I like your link better, but wasn't aware of it; the past few days have had too much climate news for me to track every article
“Report: Al Gore is still Al Gore”
Sunak still a cunt, more at 11.
I don't know about that. He seems to be turning into Rodney Dangerfield.
When did Al Gore start looking like Rodney Dangerfield?!
He looks like Rodney Dangerfield in the thumbnail.
Boy, I tell ya, this climate disaster gets no respect.
Aw no, now we're gonna get Manbearpig, and the Tories are going to say "well we didn't have Manbearpig under our government".
He was super cereal back then and we just didn't listen.... we said sorry and that Al was right.... manbearpig is real.... and all he said was, " sucks for you" 😞😭
And now, yet again, I am disappointed that the former VP has not been replaced with artificial intelligence "AI Gore"
