Al Gore pressed Iowans on Tuesday to make climate change a major issue in the next presidential election. Since Iowa holds the first presidential primaries in the country, candidates have campaigned heavily in recent years to win the hearts and minds of the residents of the Hawkeye State.

“More and more Iowans care about the climate crisis. Iowa is a leader in renewable energy. And Iowans can exert influence in their conversations with candidates,” Gore said at Climate Reality Project′s leadership training event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The three-day event from May 5-7 is designed to bring together a global network of activists to train them to be exceptional climate science communicators and political organizers to tell the story of climate change and inspire communities everywhere to take action. “We’ve got to put a price on carbon in the marketplace and put a price on denial in politics,” Gore told the roughly 400 people attending the summit. He listed a number of recent climate-related disasters and presented climate scientists’ very bleak projections for the end of the century.

Gore is optimistic though that a wider understanding of the issue, coupled with the increasing cost effectiveness of renewable energy, “can turn our most serious challenge into our greatest opportunity.”
Gore has become known for his advocacy since the 2006 Oscar-winning documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth. He founded the Climate Reality Project to mobilize action on climate change. At SXSW in March, he urged the mostly Millennial audience to harness technology to launch a grassroots movement to tackle climate change and call out climate deniers for rejecting “accepted science.”
Gore in Iowa? Winter weather now on the way...
Sorry Al, but there’s no controlling legal authority that can do what you demand.

LOL...the Gore Effect.
The high-priest of the climate cult has spoken!
That no good snake oil salesman needs to GO F’nn HOME!
I believe Al Gore had a nervous breakdown or worse after the 2000 loss to Bush, and remains a deeply disturbed man.
Low of 46 monday...LOL
And to think this petty fool, clown, buffoon, poltroon, and ultimate idiot came within a few hundred votes of becoming president. The country is very lucky this pothead is chasing a fable instead of winning the oval office. Thank God.
How did Gore travel to Iowa?
1. Walk
2. Bike
3. Gulf Stream 4
He looked bad . I think that's why the elites ponied up the Nobel and the Oscar for him. Consolation prizes to keep him from doing anything rash.
I think his biggest problem, though, was that he had made promises to some not-so-nice moneymen that he'd deliver the goods upon becoming President. Failing to keep those promises would make anybody a little crazy.
Remember the goatee and the brief teaching stint? Dude ain’t playin’ with a full deck.
There should also be a “price” in politics for being a lying buffoon who is pushing a theory that has been completely discredited by observational data.
Right - and send me the money
If your accepted science has been rejected, it is no longer accepted science. Al Gore does not even understand the words coming out of his mouth.
If he was series, he would fly commercial, and reside in one house of approximately 2000 sq. ft.
Nobody is having Goregasms anymore, Al.
Pack it in. Go join the Green Cross, you friggin idiot watermelon.
Not the least of which was membership on the Apple Computer board, with stock options that have put something in the neighborhood of $100 million in his pocket.
