Former Vice President and climate advocate Al Gore met with Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York City today.
Gore said he had a "lengthy and very productive session" with the president-elect, who has previously called climate change a "hoax."
"I found it an extremely interesting conversation and to be continued and Im just going to leave it at that," Gore told reporters of the meeting with the president-elect "... It was a sincere search for areas of common ground."
Gore also met with Trumps daughter Ivanka Trump.
The meetings with the two Trumps came against the backdrop of a New York Times report that the future first daughter also last week met with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, an outspoken advocate on climate change issues. According to that report, the actor gave Ivanka Trump a copy of his documentary Before the Flood.
Politico has also reported that Ivanka Trump intends to make climate change one of her signature issues with her father in the White House. The transition team has yet to specify what role the future first daughter may play in a Trump administration but has referred to her as an adviser to the transition.
While the specifics of Ivanka Trumps views on the issue of climate change are not publicly known, the Trump transition made clear as recently as Friday that the future administration will take a different approach to the issue than the Obama administration has.
On Friday, a leaked internal memo said that the president-elect supports the completion of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, which the Army Corps of Engineers on Sunday blocked from running through a disputed piece of land. Native Americans and environmental advocates say the pipeline threatens sacred sites and a local water supply.

I hope Ivanka either gets on the right side of things, or becomes a mother full time.
There’s a Trojan Horse in here somewhere, I’m just not sure who’s delivering and who’s inside?
Politico has also reported that Ivanka Trump intends to make climate change one of her signature issues with her father in the White House....
Oh good.
What I loved about Rudy when he took office the first day: #### you al sharpton, #### you jesse jackson and #### you arafat.
These (Gore included) are not allies in any way or sense. They are enemies.
Keeping in mind how many Fake Jobs there are presently in the Climate Change business.
And all those student loans for Environmental Scientists
That.
Is that a tail I see between his legs??
There shouldn’t be much common ground on global warming.
But Gore was big on “reinventing government” and automating it’s processes. I don’t know how much he accomplished or even whether he helped or hindered the automation process. But he talked a lot about it. And they could have common ground there.
Who do you think was the lightweight in the conversation between Algore and Donald Trump?
Right.
So, not to worry.
Come on man. Any NYer who follows anything knows that Ivanka is at BEST slightly left.
So when can we expect Donald to meet with Lord Moncton?
Politico trying to divide. There is no way in hell that Trump backs down from his stance that global warming is a hoax.
Algore = Global Warming = Marxist/Socialism/United Nations
No thanks. Please Mr. Trump. Stand firm against these vermin.
So why dud ge want to meet with Gore?
“Un huh. Uhhh huh. Uh huhhh. In. ter. es. ting. Interesting.”
“Thanks for stopping by.”
“Remember to wave and tell everyone how well the conversation went.”
Trump does not seem to possess any fixed idealogy and just touts himself as a deal-maker. Even so ... I don’t see how he could buy into the GW agenda if he knows it hurts the economy and jobs. One concern might be if GW gets embedded into some larger deal. But all this is speculation. We will see what he does.
It could be just a smoke screen by Trump to appear open-minded.
> So why dud ge want to meet with Gore?

Trump is not stupid.
He didn’t overcome massive opposition from the demonrats, the press, and his own bloody party to become president only to give away the farm.
“Politico has also reported that Ivanka Trump intends to make climate change one of her signature issues with her father in the White House.”
Politcio? Seriously? This is the source being used to verify Ivanka’s supposed climate change activism?
I’d like to hear it from the horse’s mouth myself cause sometimes what a person says and what the media says the person said are two different things. I’m sure that’s never happened before... /sarc

Ivanka has a sizeable clothing and accessory business and is personally worth $500 million.
She should be helping her two brothers run and manage their father’s multi-billion dollar worldwide businesses, too.
Plus, she has two small children.
I can’t believe she would want to spend any time, or have any time, to involve herself in this “climate change,” “global warming” hoax.
