The United States is at the brink of a widespread environmental revolution, former Vice President and environmental advocate Al Gore said at an event Monday afternoon in Gaston Hall.
“We are now in the beginning stages of a global sustainability revolution,” Gore said. “It has the magnitude of the industrial revolution but the speed of the digital revolution.”
Gore attributed the prospect of a high speed environmental revolution to increased technological capabilities.
“It’s powered by new digital tools like the Internet of Things and machine learning and artificial intelligence that are giving CEOs and executive teams the ability to manage electrons and atoms and molecules with the same precision the IT companies have used in managing bits of information,” Gore said.
Gore’s optimism for combatting environmental change stems from the fact that investments in renewable sources of energy are outperforming those in fossil fuels, he said.
“The bankers and investors are now saying grid parity is here. Grid parity is the line below which unsubsidized renewable electricity, particularly solar, is cheaper than electricity made from burning fossil fuels,” Gore said. “Since 2010, global investments in renewable energy have exceeded investments in fossil.”
At the conclusion of his speech, Gore emphasized the role that individual actions can have on creating environmental change.
“If you are concerned about the climate crisis and you want to play a part in solving it, the single most meaningful thing you can do is to vote, participate, advocate for candidates whose positions reflect your values,” Gore said. “It’s important to change the light bulbs, the windows and the technology and it’s important to change the laws and the policies.”

IIRC, we are entering a 50 year cycle of diminished sunspot activity. Time to revisit the documentary on the Little Ice Age.
The race is on get as much of the AGW agenda shoved as possible so when the truth becomes undeniable they can say these steps saved the day or they don’t get passed and it’s proven that it was all BS.
Reversing Climate Change...
What does that even mean?
More Money ,LOL
This guy becomes a bigger fruitcake every day.
So now that the Sun is going into a sun spot minimum and the earth is naturally cooling the Church of Global Warming frauds are changing their dogmas...again.
There's a book, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", written in the mid-1800s, iirc, whose first ~100 pages covers such grift, including the tulip craze.
Probably available on Gutenberg nowadays.
"Those that do not remember the past..."
#5 Post Is Right On Target
Since their never was “GlobaL Warming “.
“ He’s positioning himself to take credit for the coming Ice Age.”
Can I write a check directly to him? I dont want a single penny wasted on management, but every dollar to be used to save the planet
Well let’s just keep addressing it as we have been (i.e. by doing nothing), and Rev. Algore can take credit for curing the planet. It’s just his kind of fraud.
I wonder if they are trying to set themselves up to take "credit" for the approaching global cooling period?
.
algore has made $300 million off it so far.
