Former Vice President Al Gore said he believes some Republicans are growing weary about how many of their colleagues deny climate change.
A lot of Republicans have shared with me privately their growing discomfort with the statements of some of the deniers in their ranks. Even though theyre not yet willing to come back to advocate constructive policies, there is definitely movement, Gore said in a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Post
published Wednesday.
Many congressional Republicans are at odds with the scientific consensus that human activity, largely from burning fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gases, is driving climate change.
Gore, a vocal advocate on climate change, touched on a variety of issues regarding global warming, policy and renewable energy in the interview.
He also waxed philosophic on his Oscar-winning climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
The single most common criticism from skeptics when the film came out focused on the animation showing ocean water flowing into the World Trade Center memorial site. Skeptics called that demagogic and absurd and irresponsible. It happened last October 29th, years ahead of schedule, and the impact of that and many, many other similar events here and around the world has really begun to create a profound shift, Gore said.
Gore was referring to Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the East Coast including New York City last fall and raised the profile of climate change discourse on the national political scene.
While scientists generally avoid linking individual extreme weather events to climate change, they agree its effects such as warmer waters and higher sea levels can exacerbate storms.
Those types of events could prove a watershed moment in discussing climate change and its impact, Gore noted.
But theyre stronger now, he said of storms. The extreme events are more extreme. The hurricane scale used to be 1-5 and now theyre adding a 6. The fingerprint of man-made global warming is all over these storms and extreme weather events.

He might speak occasionally with Howard Baker who did as much to make algore senator in 1984 as GWB did to make Obama president in 2008.
By the way, algore’s Senate predecessor, H. H. Baker, Jr., is the one who blocked Reagan from abolishing the Department of Education, which Baker’s henchman Lamar! filled in the GHWB administraton.
Maybe the 'Republicans' Gore's talking to are the hotel women who give him 'massages'... "Yeah Al, you're right about everything... is that hot for you?"

Thanks for conveying simple CLARITY that should help anyone to understand the true situation.
Al is working on the wrong thing, if he trully cares why isn’t he trying to move all those people to higher ground.
Be a lot cheaper.
Algore is an imbecile of the highest sort. A commie pig who doesn’t understand his 15 minutes came and went. Without him.
BTW, his daddy was a racist pig.
Europe and America are suffering from the tyranny of green energy policies
Leaked draft of climate report struggles with drop in warming

As a Tennessean, I can say that Gore is Tennessee’s greatest embarrassment. Keep in mind, he LOST Tennessee when he ran for POTUS.
FUAG!!!!!!!
Ha....that’s exactly what I said about him when he ran in 2000.

- Newt Gingrich is one of those that have written books pushing Global Warming to line his pockets
GOOGLE it, read, educate yourself about squishy creep that will say or do anything to make a buck or get his latest girl friend into his wife’s bed while his wife is out of time
.

Out in the real world, the world from which folks like Al Gore are so disconnected, Al Gore and global warming are the butt of jokes from sea to shining sea, whenever the weather changes. Which is pretty much every day.
I don’t know how he’s managed to avoid permanent reassignment to a padded cell
Gore is such a loser...
