Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday that now is the time to act on climate change as the U.S. experiences record heat and wildfires rage across Europe.
"They're saying that if we don't stop using our atmosphere as an open sewer, and if we don't stop these heat trapping emissions, things are gonna get a lot worse," Gore told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "More people will be killed and the survival of our civilization is at stake."
Gore said global warming pollution is trapping the heat equivalent of 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs.
"That's why the heat records are being broken all the time now," he said. "That's why the storms are stronger, why the ice is melting and the sea levels rising and why the droughts and fires are hitting us so hard and so many other consequences."
But Karl noted a recent focus of the Biden administration has been lowering gas prices, which has meant asking countries to ramp up oil production.
"Isn't this counterproductive in terms of the climate agenda?" Karl asked.
Gore said people need to avoid "confusing the short term with the long term."

100 years ago, he would have been selling bottles of elixir out of a wagon.
This is the guy who wanted a 50 cent tax on every gallon of gasoline.
He’s a con artist, a huckster, a fraud.
Go tell China and India you dork. Gore is a has been. Lower than whale dung on the bottom of the ocean.
Precisely. These people have been with us forever. Unfortunately, now they sell through mass-media to the public for political power.
“That’s pretty rich.”
Right, just like Gore. He should just STFU and go count his money he has made off of this scam.
Still waiting for Al Gore to live within his recommended carbon limits. Also waiting for Obama to sell his Martha’s Vineyard estate because is fearful of rising sea levels.
Go to China and India and tell them that, Al.
Did this dumbass just pop up and see his shadow again?
Sure fat Albert!

“Come on, baby, release my chakra!”
Man bear pig refers to ‘THEY SAID’.. must be part of his animal circus act.
I’m normally not one to defend Al Gore, but he’s right about this. As Mr. Gore noted previously, if we don’t take strong action now by 2014 there will be no more polar icecaps.
Oh, wait. It’s 2022 and the polar icecaps are still there. And they are as big as ever. Never mind.
ThuperstormThandy!
Should we try a rain dance, Al?
When Al Gore was born there were 8,000 polar bears. Today only 30,000 remain.
