Former US vice-president says green revolution is bigger than industrial revolution and happening at faster pace than digital revolution.
“The climate movement should be seen in the context of the great moral causes that have transformed and improved the outlook for humanity,” he told the Ashden green energy awards ceremony. “It was wrong to allow slavery to continue, it was wrong to deny women the right to vote, it was wrong to discriminate on the basis of skin colour or who you fell in love with.
Gore acknowledged there was opposition to strong action on climate change, but cited the US civil rights movement as an inspiration: “During some of the bleakest days of the civil rights movement, Dr Martin Luther King Junior was asked by one of his fellow advocates how long is this going to take and he famously answered, not long because no lie can live for ever.”
Gore told his London audience he was optimistic of success, despite the recent US withdrawal from the global Paris climate accord: “No one person can stop the climate movement or the sustainability revolution – we are going to win no matter what President Donald Trump tries to do.”

Al’s playing with his lower chakra again.
Dictatorship more like
This is what I can’t stand is the hypocrisy. Every celebrity from All to George & Leo have homes that rival small hotels that obviously cost a fortune to heat,cool & maintain. They do everywhere....often in private jets & live an expensive lifestyle. Yet they want to this all us average people how to live. You live a normal life & don’t live in a palace....I would at least be willing to engage you. The “Let them eat cake,” schtick is old. Nine bathrooms All, really??? And you want to lecture me?! I think not.
One Hollywood person who walks the walk, in the little I have seen him & read about him is Ed Begley, Jr.
But of course!
Can't have those climate deniers, Bitter Clingers and baskets of Deplorables wandering in and out as if it was the Trump Tower.
You can see the driveway gate in both pictures and the wall is hidden in the landscaping.
Hey fat boy, what was your grade in the one survey of fifth grade science that you cheated in whilst at college?
This sounds like I am in my cups. I am but it’s coffee. It is so messed up please forgive me.
Big AL has a real problem when it comes to speaking TRUTH. He’s right up there with a carnival barker, but not to denigrate carnival barkers of course.
With a "Carbon Footprint" larger than a lot of cities in California.
nine bathrooms
Hmmm... could this be necessary due to all of the B.S. he's been throwing out there for years?
All of his malignant, worthless life ALGORE has fought against truth, integrity, honesty and civility. What a rich putz loser. I laugh at his worthless life.
They buy 'carbon offsets' and claim it equalizes their pollution, energy consumption, etc. and gives them a zero carbon footprint.
But it's just an accounting gimmick, otherwise known as a scam.
Paying money to some corporation for a "permission slip" to pollute doesn't undo the pollution created, the energy consumption, aircraft exhaust, etc., etc.... 
Algore might be on to something. After all didn’t his family own slaves?
5.56mm
Lol.... borders for me, but not for thee. If I lived in a border town I would be ticked off.
I wish it was worthless. For him, it's certainly enlarged his bank account and his gut.
I honestly think that, 50 years from now, Algore and his quixotic quest on "Climate Change" will be considered to have a more damaging effect on humanity than Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring", which lead to the banning of DDT.
Except slavery was real.
The man is insane as McCain
The battle against Dhimmicrts is like the battle against Flesh Eating Nazi Zombies from Mars.
And except that this is a fight to get us INTO slavery
That IS a completely pathetic scam. So where do these faux carbon offset $$’s go????? Mars? So it really is a different case for the average human. “You plebeians will cut your use of all things & live simply. Me, not so much!”
Yeah? And the demonRATs led the fight in that battle, too, you fat piece of Obama.
