JOHN STOSSEM : Al Gore's
movie An Inconvenient Truth
3
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:07,966
won him an Oscar, and yet,
4
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,268
much of the movie is nonsense.
5
00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:13,504
"Sea levels may rise 20 feet" is absurd!
6
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:14,751
MONICA CROWLEY : But this is Al Gore.
7
00:01:14,775 --> 00:01:16,809
He always goes down
the road of hyperbole.
8
00:01:16,844 --> 00:01:18,676
Not only is he losing the argument
9
00:01:18,712 --> 00:01:19,945
on climate change,
10
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:21,446
but he's losing the science as well.
11
00:01:21,482 --> 00:01:23,660
STERLING BURNETT : You don't
go see Joseph Goebbels' films
12
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:25,684
to see the truth about Nazi Germany.
13
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:27,518
You don't want to go see Al Gore's film
14
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:29,220
to see the truth about global warming.
15
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:30,567
SEAN HANNITY : And it's the most severe
16
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:33,459
winter storm in years, which
would seem to contradict
17
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:36,828
Al Gore's hysterical
global warming theories.
18
00:01:36,864 --> 00:01:38,162
STEVE DOOCY : Donald Trump says
19
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:40,765
he's had it up to here with Al Gore
20
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:43,701
and is calling for the
Nobel Peace Prize committee
21
00:01:43,737 --> 00:01:45,170
to take the prize away.
22
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:51,187
JIM INHOFE : Yes or no, do you believe
23
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,044
that human-caused global warming
24
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,847
is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue
25
00:01:55,883 --> 00:01:57,716
affecting our survival?
26
00:01:58,685 --> 00:01:59,785
GORE : Yes, I do.
27
00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:06,335
IMHOFE : Yes or no, do
you believe that reducing
28
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:09,127
fossil fuel-based energy usage
29
00:02:09,163 --> 00:02:12,731
will lead to lower
greenhouse gas emissions?
30
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,833
GORE : Basically, yes.
I don't think we...
31
00:02:14,868 --> 00:02:17,069
IMHOFE : That's... That's
good. Senator Gore...
32
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:18,248
GORE : If I could just, uh, continue...
33
00:02:18,272 --> 00:02:19,605
IMHOFE : Well, you can't.
34
00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:26,911
Now, it seems that everything is blamed
35
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,179
on global warming.
36
00:02:28,215 --> 00:02:30,093
Last summer, we had a heat
wave, and everyone said,
37
00:02:30,117 --> 00:02:31,650
"Oh, that's proof it's global warming."
38
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,652
Then we had a mild
December. "Oh, that's proof"
39
00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:36,421
"it's global warming
that's taking place."
40
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:38,857
Now, I wonder how come you guys
41
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:41,660
never seem to notice
it when it gets cold?
42
00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:53,104
The National Academy of Sciences
43
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,806
here in this country
44
00:02:55,609 --> 00:02:58,176
and in the 16
45
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:00,712
largest or most-developed
countries in the world
46
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:02,980
agrees with the consensus
that I've stated.
47
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,750
IMHOFE : Senator Gore, my time
is almost expired completely.
48
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:08,921
Are you aware of that?
It seems that everybody...
49
00:03:08,956 --> 00:03:11,056
I would like to respond. May I respond?
50
00:03:11,091 --> 00:03:12,669
IMHOFE : ... global warming in
the media joined the chorus...
51
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,025
BOXER : Excuse me, Senator Imhofe.
52
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,160
How can you ask a question
53
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:17,062
and not give the man a minute to answer?
54
00:03:17,097 --> 00:03:18,430
- (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
- Please.
55
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:22,234
Senator, thank you. Um...
56
00:03:24,237 --> 00:03:26,405
I've been sitting here trying to think
57
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,775
what I could do or say
58
00:03:30,744 --> 00:03:31,977
that, uh...
59
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:36,014
That might make it possible
to reach out to you.
60
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,283
And I'm serious about this.
61
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,255
(SIGHS) I'd love to, um,
62
00:03:43,290 --> 00:03:45,123
talk with you without the cameras
63
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:47,492
and without the lights and...
64
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,229
And tell you, uh,
65
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:54,600
why I feel so strongly about this.
66
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:05,277
GEER : And we've got to call the other,
67
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:06,778
I think, three or four speakers
68
00:04:06,814 --> 00:04:09,447
for the Generation
Client Conference, too.
69
00:04:09,483 --> 00:04:13,518
All right, so now back
to the Paris conference.
70
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:17,756
I'd like a briefing on the
must-do meetings in Paris.
71
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,925
And I'll circle back to Christiana
72
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:24,496
well before then on
how I can best help her.
73
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:26,598
I need to talk to Secretary Kerry
74
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:29,401
- about the long-term
goal.
WOMAN : Mmm-hmm.
75
00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:34,372
I want to schedule the
China climate training
76
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:36,707
during the first three
months of the year.
77
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,044
I think it would be
good to lock that down.
78
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,412
Yeah, definitely.
79
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:45,850
GORE : Morning. Morning.
Thank you for your help.
80
00:04:45,885 --> 00:04:49,821
Since An Inconvenient Truth
came out ten years ago,
81
00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:52,157
climate-related extreme weather events
82
00:04:52,192 --> 00:04:54,225
have gotten so much worse.
83
00:04:54,261 --> 00:04:58,096
And so I've continued
to give my slide-show
84
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,165
all around the world.
85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,466
Now, I want to add the latest images
86
00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:06,804
of the flooding going on
right now in Louisiana.
87
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,174
Okay, I think both of
those'll fit really well there.
88
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:13,244
I mean, every week now this stuff
89
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,781
just keeps getting worse and more of it.
90
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:19,150
But...
91
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:22,220
Actually, there were times when
92
00:05:22,255 --> 00:05:26,658
it really looked bleak and dark
93
00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:31,262
because the forces trying
to stop the change regrouped
94
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:33,198
and poured tons of money
95
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,600
in trying to paralyze
the political system
96
00:05:35,635 --> 00:05:38,570
in the U.S. and in other countries.
97
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:43,141
I got really discouraged.
98
00:05:43,177 --> 00:05:46,645
And there came a time for
me when I felt, wow, we could
99
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,414
lose this struggle.
100
00:05:50,316 --> 00:05:52,784
We need to recruit more people.
101
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:59,891
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
102
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:08,166
Thank you. Thank you so
much. Thank you. Thank you.
103
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,469
I hope you're having a productive
104
00:06:10,504 --> 00:06:14,639
and enjoyable, wonderful
time at this training session.
105
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:17,709
I've been doing this a long time.
106
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:19,944
And I was reminded recently
107
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:23,214
of how long it's been
since I started this.
108
00:06:23,249 --> 00:06:25,550
I was sitting in a restaurant.
109
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:28,252
A woman came walking
by in front of my table,
110
00:06:28,288 --> 00:06:30,755
just staring at me.
111
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:33,291
And I didn't think anything of it until,
112
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:35,426
a few moments later,
I saw the same woman
113
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:37,729
coming from the opposite direction,
114
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:39,464
- just staring at me.
- (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
115
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:42,900
So I looked up and I
said, "How do you do?"
116
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:44,669
And she took one step
forward and she said,
117
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:46,671
"You know, if you dyed your hair black,"
118
00:06:46,706 --> 00:06:48,740
"you would look just like Al Gore."
119
00:06:48,776 --> 00:06:50,442
(ALL LAUGHING)
120
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:55,714
- And so I said, "Thank you."
- (ALL LAUGHING)
121
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,849
And she said, "You sound like him, too."
122
00:06:57,885 --> 00:06:59,250
(ALL LAUGHING)
123
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:00,819
But anyway...
124
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:05,557
One of the comedians
on TV said recently,
125
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:07,993
"The way you know
global warming is real"
126
00:07:08,028 --> 00:07:09,460
"is if the hottest year ever"
127
00:07:09,495 --> 00:07:11,663
"is the year you're currently in."
128
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:15,267
Fourteen of the 15
hottest years ever measured
129
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:18,236
have been since 2001.
130
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:21,206
The hottest of all was 2016.
131
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:25,410
This graph shows average temperatures
132
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:28,579
from 1951 through 1980.
133
00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:30,715
The white are the normal days,
134
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:34,652
the blue are the
cooler-than-average days,
135
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:37,489
and the red are
warmer-than-average days.
136
00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:41,726
And in the 1980s, the entire curve
137
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:43,861
shifted to the warm side.
138
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:45,730
And we saw, for the first time,
139
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:48,833
the appearance of a
statistically significant
140
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:52,470
number of extremely hot
days in the lower right.
141
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:56,140
In the 1990s, the curve shifted further.
142
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:57,975
And in the last ten years,
143
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:02,647
the extremely hot days
have become more numerous
144
00:08:02,682 --> 00:08:05,149
than the
cooler-than-average days.
145
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:08,753
We still have cool days.
We still have cold days.
146
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,455
But these extremely hot days
147
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,926
are becoming much more numerous.
148
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:22,667
In April of this year, the
temperature over Greenland
149
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:26,037
was much higher than normal.
150
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:29,774
An engineer on one of the
helicopters took a video
151
00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:33,011
during this temperature spike.
152
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:36,214
Those are parts of the glacier
153
00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:39,851
just exploding with
the high temperatures.

Hey, Eric. How you doing?

00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:22,693
Yes.
159
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:26,530
That Grey line is where
the ice surface was
160
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:27,732
back in the '80s.
161
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:30,302
- Not so long ago.
- Not long ago at all.
162
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:36,174
It's amazing to think
that just 30 years ago,

00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:37,809
where we are right now,

168
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:11,109
- Thank you, Bianca.
- Yeah, no problem, Al.
169

STEFFEN : Welcome to Swiss Camp!
170
00:10:14,047 --> 00:10:15,246
(ALL LAUGH)
171
00:10:19,819 --> 00:10:22,420
We have 20 automatic weather stations
172
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:23,588
measuring the climate.
173
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,890
Swiss Camp is just one of them.
174
00:10:25,926 --> 00:10:30,328
This is the cumulative
height change of melt.
175
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:31,563
GORE : Yes. I see.
176
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:35,800
STEFFEN : Since 2000 to
now, we lost 12 meters
177
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:38,202
- of ice at that elevation.
- GORE : Wow.
178
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:42,273
That was our former station,
level with the surface.
179
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,175
- Yes.
- Very deep pillars.
180
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:46,710
We came back next season.
181
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:48,680
That's where we are now.
182
00:10:53,753 --> 00:10:55,186
(STEFFEN SPEAKING)
183
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:59,124
GORE : This is okay here?
184
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:02,881
- GORE : Around there?
- Yes. Yeah.
185
00:11:05,264 --> 00:11:07,332
(STEFFEN SPEAKING)
186
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:23,815
GORE : That would be a hole you don't
187
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:25,450
- want to step in, right?
- STEFFEN : Yes.
188
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:32,257
GORE : So, it's going
straight down there?
189
00:11:56,649 --> 00:11:58,683
STEFFEN : So the water rushes down.
190
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,652
And since it's heavier than ice,
191
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:03,521
it pushes its way
underneath the ice sheet.
192
00:12:03,557 --> 00:12:06,824
And we can measure how
the ice is lifted up
193
00:12:06,859 --> 00:12:08,960
a few millimeters to a centimeter.
194
00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:13,264
And then the ice moves fast
and you reduce the friction.
195
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,834
And, in effect, the ice
sheet starts speeding up
196
00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:18,503
in its flow toward the ocean.
197
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:19,738
That's correct.
198
00:12:22,609 --> 00:12:24,308
GORE : So this makes the ice mass
199
00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:25,343
like Swiss cheese.
200
00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:30,048
(LAUGHING)
201
00:13:25,005 --> 00:13:29,807
GORE : It is frustrating
that for many years,
202
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:33,044
I've tried to communicate
203
00:13:33,079 --> 00:13:36,047
that we've got to act
on the climate crisis.
204
00:13:37,751 --> 00:13:41,186
But it's not happening fast enough.
205
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:46,457
If I said there weren't times when
206
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:47,758
I felt this was
207
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:51,863
a personal failure on
my part, I'd be lying.
208
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:17,889
So where is all that water going?
209
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:22,059
I'll tell you where some of it's going.
210
00:14:22,095 --> 00:14:25,630
It's going into the streets
of Miami Beach, Florida.

GARY NELSON: Experts
say in 30 years or so,
217
00:14:41,247 --> 00:14:45,917
a drive along Ocean Drive
could be a drive in the ocean.
218
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:48,453
Downtown Miami could be awash.

(GORE SPEAKING)
221
00:15:12,512 --> 00:15:15,045
LEVINE : We're showing you
an area that hasn't been
222
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,147
actually fixed at all, as you can tell.
223
00:15:17,183 --> 00:15:19,316
And then, on Wednesday,
we're gonna show you
224
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:21,251
some of the areas that
used to be like this,
225
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,521
but now we raised the
road and put in pumps.
226
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:26,124
We've seen dramatic
results. It's so much better.
227
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,026
GORE : So you raised the road with
228
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:31,362
saltwater-resistant materials?
229
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:32,329
LEVINE : Yes.
230
00:15:32,365 --> 00:15:34,265
GORE : And what level of sea level rise
231
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,935
is this designed to protect against?
232
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:40,504
We are building in about
a foot of sea level rise.
233
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:45,075
And I'm sure the projections
are gonna continue to move.
234
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,711
Kinda hard to pump the ocean.
235
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:49,891
CARPENTER : That's why
we've got to raise above it.
236
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:51,282
- Yeah.
- LEVINE : Yeah.
237
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:54,519
Yeah, it's not easy.
238
00:15:54,554 --> 00:15:57,588
It's not easy. This is not a simple fix.
239
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:58,755
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
240
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,159
You can only raise so much
241
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:03,261
before you change
everybody's lives around here.
242
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:04,195
GORE : Yeah.
243
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:06,964
MORALES : Scott and I grew up here.
244
00:16:06,999 --> 00:16:08,433
This wasn't the case 40 years ago.
245
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:11,836
So if anyone wants to argue
that it's not happening...
246
00:16:11,871 --> 00:16:13,371
(LAUGHS) It's happening.
247
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:15,173
It's happening.
248
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:29,153
GORE : It's coming out of the manholes,
249
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:31,122
coming out of the drains.
250
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:34,625
And this is while the pumps
251
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:35,993
are operating at full capacity.
252
00:16:36,028 --> 00:16:37,929
This is a stopgap measure at best.
253
00:16:37,964 --> 00:16:40,164
Look, it's coming out
into the street there.
254
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:52,075
Well, I've got to go
onstage in about 15 minutes.
255
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:53,211
- So...
- MARTIN : Right.
256
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:54,745
Show me where the new slides are,
257
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:56,147
and then try to fix these videos.
258
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:57,326
Put them on a stick, and I'll try
259
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:58,882
to download them to my computer.

were gonna be high enough,

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
265
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,308
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
266
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:27,912
I am so excited to
be here and so excited
267
00:17:27,947 --> 00:17:32,049
that you are here for this training.
268
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:33,618
I'm a little bit late getting here
269
00:17:33,653 --> 00:17:35,920
because I got up early
270
00:17:35,955 --> 00:17:37,622
and put on some wading boots
271
00:17:38,691 --> 00:17:43,327
and went over to a couple of the streets
272
00:17:43,363 --> 00:17:46,063
that are filled up
with water this morning.
273
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:48,298
Miami, in terms of assets at risk,
274
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:50,668
is the number one city at risk
275
00:17:50,703 --> 00:17:53,671
in the entire world for sea level rise.
276
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:55,373
This is a major crisis.
277
00:17:57,143 --> 00:17:59,677
Projected sea level
rise in South Florida,
278
00:17:59,712 --> 00:18:03,081
possibly seven feet or
more in this century.
279
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:08,252
By population, the
top ten cities at risk:
280
00:18:08,287 --> 00:18:13,057
Kolkata, Mumbai, Dhaka,
Guangzhou, China, et cetera.
281
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:17,695
West Africa. A lot of
people at risk there.
282
00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:21,198
And, of course, the low-lying islands,
283
00:18:21,233 --> 00:18:26,237
the Maldives have an
enormous amount at risk.
284
00:18:27,206 --> 00:18:29,707
Kiribati has already purchased land
285
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:32,310
to move its entire population.
286
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:38,215
And again, this is from
the city we're in right now.
287
00:18:38,251 --> 00:18:40,784
I mean, I just wonder how the governor
288
00:18:40,819 --> 00:18:42,453
sloshes through this and says,
289
00:18:42,489 --> 00:18:44,856
"I don't notice anything.
Do you notice anything?"
290
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:51,328
JENNY STALETOVICH:
So, Florida... (LAUGHS)
291
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:55,099
- GORE : Florida.
- ... is a challenge, and so...
292
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:57,200
- GORE : I can confirm that.
- Okay. (LAUGHS)
293
00:18:57,236 --> 00:18:59,336
So, that's the big question we have.
294
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,571
I cover the climate,
295
00:19:00,606 --> 00:19:02,339
environmental stuff all the time,
296
00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:04,008
and you have a state with a governor
297
00:19:04,043 --> 00:19:06,010
who wouldn't even meet with scientists
298
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:08,146
- to talk about climate change.
- Yeah.
299
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:11,281
How do you move forward on it?
300
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,918
In order to address the
environmental crisis,
301
00:19:13,953 --> 00:19:16,420
we are gonna have to spend some time
302
00:19:16,456 --> 00:19:18,789
fixing the democracy crisis. (CHUCKLES)
303
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:22,259
Because big money has
so much influence now,
304
00:19:22,294 --> 00:19:24,896
our democracy has been hacked.
305
00:19:24,931 --> 00:19:29,266
Large contributors call the shots.
306
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:31,635
Have you ever thought about
running for office again?
307
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:35,238
I've used this line
before, so forgive me,
308
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:38,308
but I am a recovering politician.
309
00:19:38,344 --> 00:19:40,377
And the longer I go without a relapse,
310
00:19:40,412 --> 00:19:42,546
the less likely one becomes.
311
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:44,182
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
312
00:19:46,085 --> 00:19:47,484
HAYES : So, I just wanted to say,
313
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,464
we'll probably do, sort
of, three buckets of stuff.
314
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:50,621
- All right.
- So, there's...
315
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:51,800
- Is one of them climate?
- Yes, climate.
316
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,824
- (LAUGHS)
- Yes. One of them is climate,
317
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,594
one of them is sort of
broadly like how politics
318
00:19:56,629 --> 00:19:58,061
are different now than they were,
319
00:19:58,096 --> 00:19:59,730
- say, 15 years ago.
- Sure.
320
00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:01,298
Citizens United...
321
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,200
I'm interested to hear
your thoughts on that.
322
00:20:03,236 --> 00:20:05,469
- Okay, yeah.
- And then some 2016 stuff.
323
00:20:05,505 --> 00:20:07,271
(CHUCKLES) Okay. But I'm not gonna...
324
00:20:07,306 --> 00:20:08,416
You can decline. I
know you're not gonna...
325
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,673
I'm not gonna commit news.
326
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:12,343
Yes, I know. But I'll try to get you to.
327
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,211
- Okay.
- (LAUGHING)
328
00:20:14,246 --> 00:20:15,357
But we will talk about climate?
329
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:16,647
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
330
00:20:16,682 --> 00:20:19,350
I got to feed the beast,
Mr. Vice President.
331
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,821
GORE : Sometimes it seems to me that
332
00:20:23,856 --> 00:20:28,025
the climate crisis is simply
not getting the kind of
333
00:20:28,061 --> 00:20:30,227
coverage in the media that it should.
334
00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:32,563
HAYES : You have a
Republican Party right now...
335
00:20:32,598 --> 00:20:34,464
Historically large field, right?
336
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,099
There's no one on climate...
337
00:20:36,135 --> 00:20:37,375
GORE : Yeah, it's odd, isn't it?
338
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,936
HAYES : ... in the entire lineup.
339
00:20:38,972 --> 00:20:42,940
Since when did the United States
340
00:20:42,975 --> 00:20:46,610
abandon its traditional
world leadership role?
341
00:20:46,645 --> 00:20:49,980
Especially at a time
when, just this past week,
342
00:20:50,015 --> 00:20:51,915
the President of China says,
343
00:20:51,951 --> 00:20:55,352
"Okay, we're going to adopt
a cap and trade program,"
344
00:20:55,387 --> 00:20:58,556
"and we're reducing our CO2 emissions,"
345
00:20:58,591 --> 00:21:00,524
"and we want to create jobs"
346
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:02,993
"in solar and wind and efficiency."
347
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,829
This is the most serious
348
00:21:04,864 --> 00:21:07,164
global challenge we've ever faced.
349
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,532
No other country can play the role
350
00:21:08,568 --> 00:21:10,368
that the U.S. can play.
351
00:21:13,539 --> 00:21:14,816
VANESSA HAUC : Do you
think that we're reaching
352
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,108
that tipping point to the point that
353
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:19,009
it's not going to be any more denial?
354
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:21,345
We are at a turning point.
355
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:24,448
And we can successfully
reach an agreement
356
00:21:24,484 --> 00:21:27,518
in this big global negotiation in Paris
357
00:21:27,553 --> 00:21:29,753
at the end of November
358
00:21:29,789 --> 00:21:33,357
to have a real meaningful
turn in the right direction.
359
00:21:33,393 --> 00:21:35,659
At what moment did you decide
that you wanted to leave
360
00:21:35,695 --> 00:21:40,497
politics aside and
actually move into this, uh,
361
00:21:40,533 --> 00:21:42,566
new career that you have? (CHUCKLES)
362
00:21:42,601 --> 00:21:45,369
Well, to be honest, that
decision was one made
363
00:21:45,404 --> 00:21:47,638
by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
364
00:21:47,673 --> 00:21:48,505
(BOTH LAUGH)
365
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:53,443
I enjoyed politics,
but this is a mission
366
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:56,746
that I have dedicated myself to.
367
00:21:56,782 --> 00:22:01,285
And there's a hunger for information
368
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:03,420
about what's happening,
why it's happening,
369
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:05,456
and how we can fix it.
370
00:22:15,401 --> 00:22:17,234
GORE : I usually start
with a black screen.
371
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:18,735
And, trust me,
372
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:21,972
after only two or three times through,
373
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:26,443
you will associate your own
way of telling each story
374
00:22:26,478 --> 00:22:29,546
with the picture, and
it'll come so easily.
375
00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:31,915
The way the memory works...
376
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:35,085
GORE : Ten years ago, I made the decision
377
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,420
to launch a training program,
378
00:22:37,456 --> 00:22:41,625
so that anyone who wanted to learn
379
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:45,696
the skills to communicate
to thousands of others
380
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:48,332
could come and get trained.
381
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,967
... 'Cause really, all we're trying to do
382
00:22:50,002 --> 00:22:51,301
is get the first stage going,
383
00:22:51,336 --> 00:22:54,137
which is just waking people up.
384
00:22:54,173 --> 00:22:56,873
GORE : There were only 50
of them in the beginning.
385
00:22:56,909 --> 00:22:59,610
But I look back on that first training
386
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,678
and it makes me smile,
387
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:04,548
because they were real pioneers,
388
00:23:04,584 --> 00:23:06,717
in my way of thinking about it.
389
00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:09,386
This is the first picture
that any of us ever saw
390
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,255
of the Earth from space.
391
00:23:11,290 --> 00:23:14,358
It was taken on Christmas Eve, 1968,
392
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:16,694
during the Apollo 8 mission.
393
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:19,863
And this was the first
time that human beings
394
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:23,667
left near-Earth orbit and
went far enough into space
395
00:23:23,702 --> 00:23:27,938
to see the planet whole,
floating in the void.
396
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:36,480
GORE : And I've always
started my slide-shows
397
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:39,183
with those pictures.
398
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:45,489
When people can see
the Earth from space,
399
00:23:45,524 --> 00:23:48,992
they naturally find it
easier to feel a connection
400
00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:51,896
to our shared home.
401
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,535
And the last image
from the Apollo program,
402
00:23:58,571 --> 00:24:00,004
The Blue Marble,
403
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:04,908
the one picture of the entire
Earth fully illuminated,
404
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:10,848
completely changed the way
people think about the planet.
405
00:24:10,883 --> 00:24:14,051
It energized the modern
environmental movement.
406
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,589
I put that picture on my office wall
407
00:24:18,624 --> 00:24:21,224
in the West Wing of the White House,
408
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:23,060
and I looked at it every day.
409
00:24:24,729 --> 00:24:27,064
I called up NASA and I said,
410
00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:29,766
"Hey, I've been looking
at this same picture here,"
411
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:33,637
"and I'm just wondering
if there's another one."
412
00:24:33,673 --> 00:24:37,974
I thought, what if we could
have images on a daily basis?
413
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:42,446
Might that help to build
the commitment people have
414
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:44,949
for saving the climate balance?
415
00:24:45,785 --> 00:24:47,350
And that's when I learned
416
00:24:47,386 --> 00:24:49,669
there's really not another one.
417
00:24:50,722 --> 00:24:56,093
That's what led to the idea
of the DSCOVR satellite.
418
00:24:56,128 --> 00:24:58,962
Not only for these
pictures, but because of
419
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:02,565
the amazing scientific data
gathering that you can do
420
00:25:02,601 --> 00:25:04,835
from that special point in space.
421
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:08,872
There was opposition in the Congress.
422
00:25:08,908 --> 00:25:11,041
I was about to run for president,
423
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:13,644
and that may have had
something to do with it.
424
00:25:15,414 --> 00:25:18,648
But once I finally got it approved,
425
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:21,151
other instruments
started being added to it.
426
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:24,088
And one was the crucial
427
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:28,592
early-warning device for solar storms
428
00:25:28,627 --> 00:25:32,062
that threaten electric
utility grids and pipelines.
429
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:37,034
And NASA built the satellite,
gave it a launch date.
430
00:25:38,671 --> 00:25:41,771
And then after the
Supreme Court decision
431
00:25:41,807 --> 00:25:45,676
and the inauguration of Bush and Cheney,
432
00:25:45,711 --> 00:25:48,312
they canceled the satellite launch.
433
00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:54,818
SENATOR MCCONNELM : Please
stand for the invocation.
434
00:25:55,454 --> 00:25:56,820
Reverend Graham.
435
00:25:58,624 --> 00:26:01,692
GORE : The new administration,
436
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:04,894
they didn't really realize
they were also canceling
437
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:08,665
this solar storm early-warning system.
438
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:12,336
And the businesses that depend on it
439
00:26:12,371 --> 00:26:15,739
started making a lot of noise.
440
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:20,077
And they proposed to
resolve that quandary
441
00:26:20,112 --> 00:26:25,082
by taking all of the climate instruments
442
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:28,185
and the camera off of the satellite,
443
00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:31,722
replacing them with the
equivalent of sandbags
444
00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:34,091
and only leaving the one instrument
445
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:38,762
that these powerful industries
wanted to be put into orbit.
446
00:26:39,565 --> 00:26:44,768
I thought, "Wow, that is extremism."
447
00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:48,605
By the end of it,
448
00:26:48,641 --> 00:26:52,242
this satellite was put in storage.
449
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,649
We had a real opportunity
450
00:26:58,684 --> 00:27:01,818
to start building enough public support
451
00:27:01,854 --> 00:27:05,055
to really get on track to
solving the climate crisis.
452
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:08,625
But we lost that opportunity.
453
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:12,830
And now, we cannot
afford to lose it again.
454
00:27:24,743 --> 00:27:25,943
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
455
00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:29,246
Okay, Bo.

(BO BARKS)
457
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:41,691
GORE : This house was my home
458
00:27:41,727 --> 00:27:43,527
when I was growing up as a boy.
459
00:27:43,562 --> 00:27:46,330
My mother and father built it.
460
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:50,267
LBJ came to this farm.
461
00:27:50,302 --> 00:27:54,104
He fell out with my dad
when my dad became one of
462
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:57,340
the leading opponents
of the Vietnam War,
463
00:27:57,375 --> 00:28:02,045
but they served in the
Senate together a long time.
464
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,382
Here's a picture of my dad
doing Meet the Press, and...
465
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:08,919
Then, many years later,
me doing Meet the Press.
466
00:28:10,489 --> 00:28:11,855
Here's a, uh,
467
00:28:13,959 --> 00:28:17,594
handwritten note that my
second-oldest daughter,
468
00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:21,732
Kristin, wrote back in 1987,
469
00:28:21,767 --> 00:28:24,067
when we had a family meeting to go over
470
00:28:24,102 --> 00:28:26,937
whether or not I should
run for President.
471
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:30,306
It's divided into good parts
and bad parts. (CHUCKLES)
472
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:32,909
Number 1: Wants to do it.
473
00:28:32,944 --> 00:28:36,746
"Number 2: Has a good chance."
474
00:28:36,782 --> 00:28:38,849
"Number 3: A lot of people"

00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:41,852
"who know the other
candidates don't like them."
476
00:28:42,287 --> 00:28:43,420
Um...
477
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:44,521
"He might get elected."
478
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,123
"It would be a good time to run things."
479
00:28:46,158 --> 00:28:49,125
"He thinks he could solve problems."
480
00:28:49,161 --> 00:28:53,797
"The bad points. Number 1:
He would not be here a lot."

00:28:53,833 --> 00:28:55,865
"Number 2: Uh... "

Meaning the Secret Service, of course.
488
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:22,659
GORE : Just moments ago, I
spoke with George W. Bush
489
00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:24,161
and congratulated him on becoming
490
00:29:24,196 --> 00:29:27,297
the 43rd President of the United States.
491
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:31,802
Neither he nor I anticipated
this long and difficult road.
492
00:29:32,804 --> 00:29:34,537
Let there be no doubt
493
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:38,575
while I strongly disagree
with the court's decision,
494
00:29:38,611 --> 00:29:40,377
I accept it.
495
00:29:40,412 --> 00:29:42,813
I accept the finality of this outcome,
496
00:29:42,848 --> 00:29:44,481
which will be ratified next Monday
497
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:46,449
in the Electoral College.
498
00:29:46,485 --> 00:29:49,085
And tonight, for the sake
of our unity as a people
499
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:51,388
and the strength of our democracy,
500
00:29:51,423 --> 00:29:53,490
I offer my concession.
501
00:29:53,525 --> 00:29:55,125
(CAMERA CLICKING)
502
00:29:58,363 --> 00:30:01,565
GORE : I had a detailed plan for my life.
503
00:30:03,102 --> 00:30:07,304
But it turned out that life
had a different plan for me.
504
00:30:12,177 --> 00:30:15,244
You know, anybody who
decides to be a part of
505
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,280
helping to solve the climate crisis has
506
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:21,217
a constant struggle
between hope and despair.
507
00:30:21,252 --> 00:30:25,888
Uh, and so when you
see these slides about
508
00:30:25,924 --> 00:30:28,258
all the damage that's
being done, hang on,
509
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:31,994
because hope is coming.
Don't sink too low!
510
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:35,365
Despair can be paralyzing.
511
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,668
But we're building up
speed and we're seeing
512
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:43,340
a tremendous amount of positive change
513
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:47,010
that gives me the optimism
that I feel about this.
514
00:30:47,046 --> 00:30:50,280
Let me give you some exciting
examples. Look at wind.
515
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:52,015
One day this month,
516
00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:55,919
Scotland got 100% of its
electricity from wind.
517
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:58,855
In Portugal, they had four days straight
518
00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:01,824
last May on renewable energy alone.
519
00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:05,128
And on a global basis,
wind alone can supply
520
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:10,433
40 times the entire
global demand for energy.
521
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:12,169
But let's look at solar.
522
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:15,205
This, to me, is the most
exciting new development.
523
00:31:15,241 --> 00:31:19,876
Fourteen years ago the
best projections available
524
00:31:19,911 --> 00:31:23,446
were that we would be
able to install worldwide
525
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:27,117
one gigawatt of solar
electricity per year.
526
00:31:27,152 --> 00:31:29,286
Well, when 2010 arrived,
527
00:31:29,321 --> 00:31:32,989
we beat that goal by 17 times over.
528
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:37,226
Last year, we beat
that goal 58 times over.
529
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:42,132
This year, we're on track to
beat that goal 73 times over.
530
00:31:42,167 --> 00:31:46,970
This is an exponential
curve, and it is astonishing!
531
00:31:47,005 --> 00:31:49,840
And it continues to
go up at a steeper rate
532
00:31:49,875 --> 00:31:52,843
because the cost of silicon solar cells
533
00:31:52,878 --> 00:31:55,312
continues to go down.
534
00:31:55,347 --> 00:31:59,349
I wish that every state
would encourage solar.
535
00:31:59,384 --> 00:32:00,416
Including Florida.
536
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:03,620
You know, Florida's
called the Sunshine State?
537
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:07,290
The head of the second-biggest
fossil fuel utility there
538
00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:09,660
was actually quoted as saying,
539
00:32:09,695 --> 00:32:11,061
"Yes, we're the Sunshine State,"
540
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:13,496
"but, remember, we're also
the partly cloudy state."
541
00:32:13,532 --> 00:32:17,234
And they have lobbied
the state legislature
542
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:20,503
to basically make it illegal
543
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:24,074
to lease a solar panel for
your rooftop from anybody
544
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:27,244
but the fossil fuel-burning utility!
545
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:30,246
And they're trying to use
their legacy political power
546
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:33,450
to bend the politicians to their will.
547
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,620
What the public wants
doesn't seem to matter.
548
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:39,089
It's pathetic!
549
00:32:44,730 --> 00:32:46,863
BILL O'REILLY : In Campaign
2016 segment tonight,
550
00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:48,431
an interview with Donald Trump.
551
00:32:48,466 --> 00:32:50,200
TRUMP : Not a believer in global warming.
552
00:32:50,235 --> 00:32:52,068
Obama thinks it's the number one problem
553
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:53,536
of the world today,
554
00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:56,339
and I think it's very low on the list.
555
00:32:56,374 --> 00:32:57,974
O'REILLY : If you were President,
556
00:32:58,010 --> 00:33:00,643
would you invest a lot of money in
557
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:03,346
alternative energy to get
away from fossil fuels?
558
00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:05,716
TRUMP : Now solar always
sounds better than it is.
559
00:33:05,751 --> 00:33:08,585
You know, you get your
money back in 36 years.
560
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:09,986
The problem is the panels
561
00:33:10,022 --> 00:33:12,222
destroy themselves after ten years.
562
00:33:13,459 --> 00:33:16,226
... you know, one of the
top, top professors at MIT.

00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:20,096
Hey, Mr. Vice President,
thank you so much for coming.
565
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:21,564
GORE : Thank you.
566
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,578
ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN : So, we're
in relatively early stages
567
00:33:23,602 --> 00:33:25,101
of the investigation, but
568
00:33:25,136 --> 00:33:28,037
some of these companies
and the denial organizations
569
00:33:28,073 --> 00:33:30,073
and groups like the
American Petroleum Institute
570
00:33:30,109 --> 00:33:32,542
have been actively seeking
to distort the market,
571
00:33:32,577 --> 00:33:34,944
to suppress investment in renewables
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:37,947
through this relatively
new line of propaganda,
573
00:33:37,982 --> 00:33:39,549
which is,
574
00:33:39,585 --> 00:33:42,585
"Even if everything"
575
00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:45,255
"Al Gore's been saying
since the '80s is true,"
576
00:33:45,290 --> 00:33:46,333
"it's gonna cost so much money,"
577
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:47,757
"it's gonna cripple the economy."
578
00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:50,326
It's an insidious theme
that we've seen before,
579
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:51,961
but it's coming back with a new force.
580
00:33:51,997 --> 00:33:54,631
And I think that
581
00:33:54,666 --> 00:33:56,544
this is something we're
focusing on very intently.
582
00:33:56,568 --> 00:33:58,446
We want to know who the
groups are who are doing this,
583
00:33:58,470 --> 00:34:00,303
what is their analysis,
what's the science,
584
00:34:00,338 --> 00:34:03,273
and what are the government
actions that are being taken?
585
00:34:03,308 --> 00:34:04,607
Assuming for the moment
586
00:34:04,643 --> 00:34:08,011
that the facts prove
that's what they did,
587
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:10,080
that's a violation of the law, isn't it?
588
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:11,681
That's consumer and securities fraud.
589
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:15,385
But it's clear that what they've done is
590
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:20,356
essentially tried to cripple
591
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:22,959
our ability, mankind's ability,
592
00:34:22,995 --> 00:34:25,662
to respond to this existential threat.

(WHIRRING)
594
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:35,505
GORE : A few days ago,
595
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,141
the Attorney General
of the State of New York
596
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:42,179
launched an investigation
of Exxon-Mobil
597
00:34:42,214 --> 00:34:48,284
for fraud and funneling money
to this new form of denial
598
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:50,953
where people are out there
minimizing solar, saying,
599
00:34:50,989 --> 00:34:52,289
"It's not going anywhere.
600
00:34:52,324 --> 00:34:55,258
"Why are you wasting your
time on this?" Et cetera.
601
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:59,195
Utility monopolies really,
really fear disruption,
602
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,230
and have woken up and said,
603
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:03,099
"Wow, this solar thing,"
604
00:35:03,134 --> 00:35:06,569
"I need to crush it before it kills me."
605
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,838
The last two weeks, we had 55,000 people
606
00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:11,041
sign up in Nevada to say, you know,
607
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:13,342
"I want choice, I want energy freedom."
608
00:35:13,377 --> 00:35:14,878
RIVE : What happened in Nevada
609
00:35:14,913 --> 00:35:17,080
will send a massive message
to the rest of the country.
610
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:18,882
GORE : Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
611
00:35:18,917 --> 00:35:20,350
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
612
00:35:23,488 --> 00:35:24,966
GORE : Thank you. Will
there be bumps in the road?
613
00:35:24,990 --> 00:35:27,023
You bet there will be.
614
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:29,292
But, at the end of the day,
615
00:35:30,161 --> 00:35:33,362
you really are on the front lines.
616
00:35:33,397 --> 00:35:36,599
On the rooftops, if you will.
617
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:41,271
And we're seeing this play
out in every part of the world.
618
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:49,613
We've had 150 years
of burning fossil fuels
619
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:51,514
with the many blessings,
poverty's gone down,
620
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:54,417
living standards have increased.
621
00:35:54,452 --> 00:35:57,187
So naturally, there still
are some people that say,
622
00:35:57,222 --> 00:36:00,990
"Well, we just have to
keep relying on oil and gas"
623
00:36:01,026 --> 00:36:02,559
"and even coal."
624
00:36:02,594 --> 00:36:04,961
But it is worth pointing
out that in northern China,
625
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:08,898
life expectancy has gone
down five and a half years
626
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:10,533
because of air pollution.
627
00:36:10,569 --> 00:36:13,036
And in Beijing, the mayor said,
628
00:36:13,071 --> 00:36:14,604
"My city is not livable."
629
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:18,641
But in many parts of China
630
00:36:18,676 --> 00:36:21,711
it is already cheaper to get electricity
631
00:36:21,747 --> 00:36:23,746
from solar and wind.
632
00:36:23,782 --> 00:36:27,583
So this is the time
when your presentations
633
00:36:27,618 --> 00:36:31,221
can provide support for your
government's determination
634
00:36:31,256 --> 00:36:34,591
to do even better with renewable energy.
635
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,231
Fine. How are you?
636
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,433
GORE : There are so many commitments
637
00:36:43,468 --> 00:36:47,469
that governments are thinking
about making right now
638
00:36:47,505 --> 00:36:51,440
for hundreds of new coal plants.
639
00:36:51,476 --> 00:36:56,812
Even as the revolutionary
drop in cost from renewables
640
00:36:56,848 --> 00:36:58,380
is picking up speed.
641
00:36:58,416 --> 00:37:00,216
China's one of these countries.
642
00:37:00,251 --> 00:37:03,552
And there are numbers
of others. India, others.
643
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:07,090
Unfortunately, they've
looked at the price of coal.
644
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,625
They see the price low,
645
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:10,627
and they feel they're compelled
646
00:37:10,662 --> 00:37:13,563
therefore to try to
provide for their people.
647
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:17,200
So if India proceeds to
build the number of plants
648
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:20,169
it is currently planning,
and they are coal fired,
649
00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:22,639
it can erase everything everybody else
650
00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:24,674
is trying to do in terms of reductions.
651
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:26,876
We've got to figure out
a way to crack that nut.
652
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:27,911
KERRY : Absolutely.
653
00:37:32,851 --> 00:37:34,161
MAIREAD DUNAS : Now,
climate change is high
654
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:35,518
on world leaders' agendas.
655
00:37:35,553 --> 00:37:38,388
And that's because the
crucial U.N. talks in Paris
656
00:37:38,423 --> 00:37:40,489
start in less than two months,
657
00:37:40,525 --> 00:37:42,725
when the world gets
together to try to agree
658
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:43,859
on a global deal.
659
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:46,596
One of the sticking
points remains financing.
660
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:51,500
GORE : My agenda is dominated right now
661
00:37:51,536 --> 00:37:54,871
by the preparations for the
climate conference in Paris.
662
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,975
The world's been preparing
for it a long time.
663
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:06,449
And the main objective is to speed up
664
00:38:06,485 --> 00:38:08,517
the transition to renewable energy,
665
00:38:08,553 --> 00:38:11,320
so that the entire world
666
00:38:11,356 --> 00:38:14,691
can bring down the pollution levels
667
00:38:14,726 --> 00:38:18,061
while continuing to reduce poverty.
668
00:38:18,096 --> 00:38:21,330
But there is still a big divide
669
00:38:21,365 --> 00:38:23,867
between rich countries
and poor countries.
670
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:27,203
GORE : So, thank you for arranging this,
671
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,539
and for the privilege
of talking with you.
672
00:38:30,575 --> 00:38:33,876
As you know, I have this passion for
673
00:38:33,912 --> 00:38:38,515
solving the climate crisis
that goes back 40 years. And...
674
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:43,786
Because I have studied it
so closely, I'm hoping that
675
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:47,389
the United States and
India will accelerate
676
00:38:47,425 --> 00:38:52,494
our transitions to
renewable energy together.
677
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:54,464
India has always looked
at the United States
678
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:57,967
as a valuable partner.
679
00:38:58,002 --> 00:39:02,905
But sadly, the Western
world, the developed world
680
00:39:02,941 --> 00:39:06,442
does not seem to be coming forth with
681
00:39:06,478 --> 00:39:08,878
significant amounts of support.
682
00:39:08,914 --> 00:39:11,847
And seems to be creating
more impediments.
683
00:39:11,883 --> 00:39:15,051
All this talk about
supporting climate change
684
00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:16,252
seems to be only talk,
685
00:39:16,287 --> 00:39:18,421
and there's hardly any action on that.
686
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:20,356
- GORE : In the U.S.?
- Yeah, from the U.S.
687
00:39:20,391 --> 00:39:21,735
GORE : (STAMMERS) I
don't think it's fair,
688
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:23,359
with all due respect, if you may?
689
00:39:23,394 --> 00:39:26,296
- GOYAM : Sure, please.
- Well, in the U.S.
690
00:39:26,331 --> 00:39:30,266
in calendar year, uh, 2015,
691
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:32,835
if you look at the
investments in the U.S.
692
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:36,939
in the building of new, uh,
electric generating capacity,
693
00:39:36,975 --> 00:39:39,675
three-quarters is from solar and wind.
694
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:41,745
- May I respond to that?
- Yes. Please.
695
00:39:42,981 --> 00:39:46,215
I'll do the same thing after 150 years.
696
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:48,117
After I've used my coal.
697
00:39:48,153 --> 00:39:49,919
After I've got my people jobs.
698
00:39:49,955 --> 00:39:51,954
After I've created my infrastructure
699
00:39:51,989 --> 00:39:53,923
and highways and roads.
700
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:55,524
When I have technology.
701
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,860
When my people earn
702
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:59,829
$50,000
-$70,000 per capita income,
703
00:39:59,864 --> 00:40:03,332
using low-cost fossil
fuels-based energy.
704
00:40:03,368 --> 00:40:06,136
The way the United
States did for 150 years.
705
00:40:07,438 --> 00:40:09,305
It's very easy to say now that,
706
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:11,073
"Oh, we are not using coal!"
707
00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:12,708
What about in the past?
708
00:40:12,744 --> 00:40:15,111
So I'm only asking for that carbon space
709
00:40:15,147 --> 00:40:18,514
which you utilized for 150 years.
710
00:40:18,549 --> 00:40:22,017
GORE : My point is not to deny your right
711
00:40:22,053 --> 00:40:25,454
to make your own choices as to
what kind of energy you want.
712
00:40:25,489 --> 00:40:27,390
Obviously you have that right.
713
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,725
But what I am saying,
714
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:32,061
when is the sun coming up today?
715
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:35,130
I don't see it anywhere.
716
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:36,900
I don't see the blue sky.
717
00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:51,046
GORE : When any of us walk outside
718
00:40:51,082 --> 00:40:52,782
and look up at the sky,
719
00:40:52,817 --> 00:40:55,318
our natural impression is
720
00:40:55,353 --> 00:41:01,057
that the sky looks like it's
a vast and limitless expanse.
721
00:41:01,092 --> 00:41:03,593
Goes on forever.
722
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:06,061
Actually, the atmosphere of the Earth
723
00:41:06,097 --> 00:41:11,034
is a very thin shell
surrounding the planet.
724
00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:14,170
And, of course, right now
725
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:18,941
we are putting 110 million tons
726
00:41:18,976 --> 00:41:21,844
of heat-trapping
global-warming pollution
727
00:41:21,879 --> 00:41:26,248
into that space every single day.
728
00:41:26,284 --> 00:41:29,752
We're using this as an open sewer
729
00:41:29,787 --> 00:41:34,523
for all of the gaseous waste
in our global civilization.
730
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:37,860
Agriculture is a big cause of it.
731
00:41:37,895 --> 00:41:41,097
Burning of forests and
burning of cropland.
732
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:44,900
But still, the main part of the problem
733
00:41:44,936 --> 00:41:47,570
is the emission of carbon dioxide
734
00:41:47,605 --> 00:41:50,806
from the burning of coal, oil, and gas.
735
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:54,944
And that builds up heat
energy and raises temperatures.
736
00:41:56,614 --> 00:41:59,815
India just set their
all-time high temperature
737
00:41:59,851 --> 00:42:04,787
record in May. 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
738
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:08,591
The streets are melting.
739
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,728
We have built a
civilization for conditions
740
00:42:12,764 --> 00:42:16,633
that we are now in the
process of radically changing.
741
00:42:17,702 --> 00:42:19,802
All-time records have
been broken this year
742
00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:23,272
in Thailand and Cambodia and Laos.
743
00:42:23,307 --> 00:42:27,910
In Pakistan, over 1,200 people
died in the heat wave there.
744
00:42:27,946 --> 00:42:32,948
This year, they have dug
anticipatory mass graves
745
00:42:32,984 --> 00:42:35,217
for the people they fear will die
746
00:42:35,252 --> 00:42:37,953
in this year's heat waves.
747
00:42:37,989 --> 00:42:42,425
And we're seeing that
the higher temperatures
748
00:42:42,460 --> 00:42:46,329
are shifting the
balance between microbes
749
00:42:46,364 --> 00:42:48,197
and human beings.
750
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:51,334
The transportation revolution
has a lot to do with this.
751
00:42:51,369 --> 00:42:52,668
Air travel.
752
00:42:52,703 --> 00:42:56,806
But the climate conditions
have a big impact on that.
753
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:58,774
Let's look at Zika.
754
00:42:58,809 --> 00:43:01,978
Here is the range of the one mosquito
755
00:43:02,013 --> 00:43:03,813
that they're most worried about.
756
00:43:03,848 --> 00:43:06,382
And warmer conditions
757
00:43:06,417 --> 00:43:09,985
increase that range considerably.
758
00:43:10,021 --> 00:43:12,821
But here is the kicker on this.
759
00:43:12,857 --> 00:43:15,624
It's not just the
mosquito, it's the virus.
760
00:43:15,659 --> 00:43:18,795
And the warmer temperatures speed up
761
00:43:18,830 --> 00:43:22,031
the incubation rate inside the mosquito.
762
00:43:22,066 --> 00:43:26,736
So we get an explosion
in the number of cases.
763
00:43:26,771 --> 00:43:29,639
And now it's spread to Miami, Florida.
764
00:43:29,674 --> 00:43:33,008
And for the first time in history,
765
00:43:33,044 --> 00:43:35,111
pregnant women have been advised
766
00:43:35,146 --> 00:43:38,348
not to go to part of the
United States of America.
767
00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:40,817
In many areas of
768
00:43:40,852 --> 00:43:42,952
Central America and South America,
769
00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:44,820
the doctors are delivering a message
770
00:43:44,855 --> 00:43:46,288
that I've never heard in my life.
771
00:43:46,324 --> 00:43:49,324
They're telling women,
"Don't get pregnant"
772
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,729
"for two years, while we
try to get a handle on this."
773
00:43:52,764 --> 00:43:56,432
That's something new in the
history of the human race.
774
00:43:56,468 --> 00:43:58,401
How long can we just sit back and say,
775
00:43:58,436 --> 00:44:02,405
"Oh, well, maybe some genius
will think up some miracle"?
776
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,841
I'm sorry, I'm getting all, um,
777
00:44:04,876 --> 00:44:06,542
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
778
00:44:06,578 --> 00:44:08,343
fired up here.
779
00:44:08,379 --> 00:44:10,046
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
780
00:44:14,886 --> 00:44:18,387
But let's step back
and take a global view
781
00:44:18,422 --> 00:44:22,057
of the increasing temperatures
and the extra heat energy.
782
00:44:22,093 --> 00:44:27,796
93% of all this heat energy
is going into the oceans.
783
00:44:27,832 --> 00:44:29,398
And it has several consequences.
784
00:44:29,433 --> 00:44:31,066
A direct consequence is
785
00:44:31,101 --> 00:44:36,172
that when ocean-based storms
cross much warmer ocean waters
786
00:44:36,207 --> 00:44:39,675
the storms get stronger
and more destructive.
787
00:44:39,711 --> 00:44:40,842
Just a few years ago
788
00:44:40,878 --> 00:44:43,379
Super-storm Sandy in the Atlantic
789
00:44:43,414 --> 00:44:47,516
crossed areas of the
ocean 9 degrees Fahrenheit
790
00:44:47,552 --> 00:44:49,752
warmer than normal.
791
00:44:49,787 --> 00:44:52,454
And it caused tremendous destruction
792
00:44:52,489 --> 00:44:55,291
in New Jersey and in New York.
793
00:44:55,326 --> 00:44:57,760
And, by the way, ten years ago,
794
00:44:57,795 --> 00:44:59,896
when the movie An Inconvenient Truth
795
00:44:59,931 --> 00:45:04,734
came out, the single most
criticized scene in that movie
796
00:45:04,769 --> 00:45:07,770
was an animated scene showing
797
00:45:07,805 --> 00:45:11,240
that the combination of sea
level rise and storm surge
798
00:45:11,275 --> 00:45:16,812
would put the ocean water
into the 9/11 memorial site,
799
00:45:16,848 --> 00:45:19,148
which was then under construction.
800
00:45:19,183 --> 00:45:20,349
And people said,
801
00:45:20,385 --> 00:45:24,087
"That's ridiculous. What
a terrible exaggeration!"
802
00:45:25,322 --> 00:45:27,189
DIANE SAWYER : Something
happened last night
803
00:45:27,224 --> 00:45:29,926
at one of the most iconic
locations in New York
804
00:45:29,961 --> 00:45:32,661
the World Trade Center, Ground Zero.
805
00:45:32,697 --> 00:45:35,865
A flood of water with
a current so strong
806
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:38,266
it flooded the reconstruction.
807
00:45:38,302 --> 00:45:40,135
ANDREW CUOMO : There
is a wake-up call here,
808
00:45:40,170 --> 00:45:46,108
and that is climate change
and our vulnerability to it.
809
00:45:46,144 --> 00:45:49,578
It was true ten years ago,
it was true five years ago.
810
00:45:49,614 --> 00:45:52,014
It is undeniable today.
811
00:45:57,422 --> 00:45:58,487
Years before,
812
00:45:58,523 --> 00:46:02,024
the scientists predicted
that this would happen.
813
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,926
One year later,
814
00:46:03,961 --> 00:46:06,495
in the Philippines, Super Typhoon Haiyan
815
00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:08,330
crossed areas of the Pacific
816
00:46:08,365 --> 00:46:11,467
three degrees Celsius
warmer than normal.
817
00:46:11,503 --> 00:46:12,802
And it became
818
00:46:12,837 --> 00:46:15,838
the strongest and most
destructive ocean-based storm
819
00:46:15,873 --> 00:46:17,773
ever to make landfall.
820
00:46:17,809 --> 00:46:20,910
Uh, in the city of
Tacloban and nearby areas
821
00:46:20,945 --> 00:46:24,981
there were 4.1 million climate refugees.
822
00:46:26,217 --> 00:46:28,818
Thousands of people were killed.
823
00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:45,846
CRISTINA ROMUALDEZ : Even
just remembering it now,
824
00:46:45,870 --> 00:46:49,104
after more than two years,
825
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:52,174
just remembering the sound of the wind.

(WIND HOWLING)
827
00:47:01,051 --> 00:47:03,018
ALFRED ROMUALDEZ : And
then the water came after.
828
00:47:03,053 --> 00:47:06,222
Like a wall of water just rushing in.
829
00:47:16,934 --> 00:47:19,635
That's why we had to climb to the roof.
830
00:47:19,671 --> 00:47:22,171
In fact, I was shouting,
giving them orders
831
00:47:22,206 --> 00:47:23,416
"Break that ceiling, we've gotta"
832
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,120
"get out of here and
we've gotta climb up."

(PEOPLE WHIMPERING)
834
00:47:39,924 --> 00:47:42,391
If we went to any other
place, we would have died.
835
00:47:42,427 --> 00:47:45,094
Because that had a concrete structure,
836
00:47:45,129 --> 00:47:47,630
and that's where we
were able to climb up.

JOHN LEONARD CHAN : People
are running, are crying
838

because they don't know what
happened to their family.

- GORE : Recover the bodies?
- To recover the bodies.

00:48:22,567 --> 00:48:23,499
Sorry. (SOBBING)

of this and empower them

00:50:22,452 --> 00:50:24,386
and delivered a very
powerful message that
865
00:50:24,421 --> 00:50:26,888
"the gravest effects
of the climate crisis"
866
00:50:26,924 --> 00:50:31,126
"are visited upon the poorest people."
867
00:50:31,162 --> 00:50:34,163
This is true everywhere in the world.
868
00:50:37,101 --> 00:50:39,001
Now, the second order consequences
869
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:40,502
of the warming oceans
870
00:50:40,538 --> 00:50:42,905
include some that we're all experiencing
871
00:50:42,940 --> 00:50:45,040
on a regular basis now.
872
00:50:45,075 --> 00:50:47,342
When the temperature goes up,
873
00:50:47,377 --> 00:50:50,246
the water vapor coming off the oceans
874
00:50:50,281 --> 00:50:54,416
into the sky is
increasing significantly.
875
00:50:54,452 --> 00:50:59,521
This means that every
storm is different now
876
00:50:59,556 --> 00:51:04,627
because it takes place in
a warmer and wetter world.
877
00:51:07,130 --> 00:51:09,764
Water vapor is often funneled
878
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,702
thousands of kilometers from
the oceans over the land,
879
00:51:13,738 --> 00:51:18,374
and then much more of it
falls at the same time.
880
00:51:19,543 --> 00:51:23,412
Look at this downpour
that hit Tucson, Arizona,
881
00:51:23,447 --> 00:51:26,749
and watch the water splash off the city.
882
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:32,121
They're now calling
these things "rain bombs."
883
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:36,058
Houston's been hit
between May of last year
884
00:51:36,093 --> 00:51:38,227
and May of this year.
885
00:51:38,262 --> 00:51:43,565
Two 1-in-500-year floods and
one 1-in-1,000-year downpour.
886
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,536
Now, that's unusual. Almost Noah-like.
887
00:51:49,206 --> 00:51:51,507
This was in Spain last fall.
888
00:51:52,877 --> 00:51:56,445
In Chile, last year. Epic event.
889
00:51:57,781 --> 00:52:00,415
And now, today,
890
00:52:00,451 --> 00:52:03,185
there are water rescues underway
891
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:06,655
in southeast Louisiana.
892
00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:08,691
RESCUER : Give me a
knife, give me a knife.
893
00:52:27,678 --> 00:52:30,512
Now, the same heat
894
00:52:30,547 --> 00:52:33,515
that is bringing all that
water vapor off the oceans
895
00:52:33,550 --> 00:52:36,752
is sucking the soil
moisture out of the ground.
896
00:52:36,787 --> 00:52:40,756
And it's making the
droughts deeper and longer.
897
00:52:41,625 --> 00:52:44,759
In China, in Vietnam, in Thailand,
898
00:52:44,795 --> 00:52:47,196
and all around the world.
899
00:52:47,231 --> 00:52:49,965
And where there is drought,
900
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,067
the vegetation dries out
901
00:52:52,102 --> 00:52:54,570
and the fires increase.
902
00:52:57,474 --> 00:52:59,975
Every night on the evening
news is like a nature hike
903
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,444
through the Book of Revelations.
904
00:53:02,479 --> 00:53:07,183
But the dots are very seldom
connected in the media.
905
00:53:07,952 --> 00:53:10,785
This is global warming.
906
00:53:10,821 --> 00:53:15,357
When we have scientists
tell us the dots connect,
907
00:53:15,392 --> 00:53:19,995
we need to have in our
democracy a conversation
908
00:53:20,030 --> 00:53:21,930
about cause and effect.
909
00:53:21,965 --> 00:53:23,264
Let's look, for example,
910
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:25,868
at the story of what
has happened in Syria.
911
00:53:27,137 --> 00:53:30,372
From 2006 to 2010,
912
00:53:30,407 --> 00:53:32,740
they had a record-breaking drought.
913
00:53:32,776 --> 00:53:37,146
This farmer is one of
many who lost his farm.
914
00:53:37,181 --> 00:53:41,449
60% of all the farms
in Syria were destroyed.
915
00:53:41,485 --> 00:53:44,987
80% of all their livestock were killed.

923

worst in at least 900 years.

well, Prime Minister Modi,
1168
01:08:04,647 --> 01:08:08,149
has been very, very clear
that their concern is
1169
01:08:08,184 --> 01:08:10,284
not just the existence of technology,
1170
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:12,353
but their access to that technology.
1171
01:08:12,388 --> 01:08:15,656

When India goes to borrow money

to build solar farms or wind farms,
1190
01:09:06,543 --> 01:09:10,678

plus an FX uncertainty.

renewables as cheap as coal,
1197

NARAIN : The reason
that talks are stalled?
1220
01:10:18,414 --> 01:10:20,481
Because the U.S. government
1221
01:10:20,516 --> 01:10:23,317
put countries like India as culprits,
1222
01:10:23,353 --> 01:10:25,953

01:18:42,284 --> 01:18:46,219
By the end of 2014,
more than 400 megawatts.

By the end of last year,
more than 800 megawatts.

under construction this year
1393

soon begin construction.

that are poised for
this kind of breakout.

We are seeing a real turning here.
1400
01:19:26,462 --> 01:19:27,928
On a global basis,
1401
01:19:27,964 --> 01:19:32,899
the world gets more energy
from the sun each hour
1402
01:19:32,934 --> 01:19:35,369
than the entire global economy
1403
01:19:35,404 --> 01:19:37,872
uses for an entire year.
1404
01:19:37,907 --> 01:19:40,574
If we increase the fraction of that
1405
01:19:40,610 --> 01:19:43,477
that we harvest and use productively,
1406
01:19:43,512 --> 01:19:47,448
then we can solve that
part of the climate crisis.

01:19:54,790 --> 01:19:56,322
We know that President Obama
1410

We have, in the spirit of compromise,
1424
01:20:48,710 --> 01:20:51,045

And we have not only
1426
01:20:54,750 --> 01:20:57,384

that Paris will reassure
this future generation

would not have happened
1447
01:22:28,077 --> 01:22:30,244
without President Obama,
1448
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:32,579

Without a lot of people
who worked hard on that.
1451
01:22:39,288 --> 01:22:43,289
Virtually every nation
in the entire world agreed
1452
01:22:43,325 --> 01:22:46,760
to get to net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions
1453
01:22:46,795 --> 01:22:50,631
as early in the second half
of this century as possible.
1454
01:22:50,666 --> 01:22:52,766
This sends a signal to markets,
1455
01:22:52,801 --> 01:22:54,668
sends a signal to investors.
1456
01:22:54,703 --> 01:22:56,036
And it resulted
1457
01:22:56,072 --> 01:23:00,140
in the largest solar loan
in the history of the world
1458
01:23:00,176 --> 01:23:02,943
to help India move forward more quickly
1459
01:23:02,978 --> 01:23:05,312
in its installation of solar.
1460
01:23:06,014 --> 01:23:07,580
It needs continuing work.
1461
01:23:07,616 --> 01:23:10,917
And one of the reasons
your role is so important
1462
01:23:10,952 --> 01:23:13,620
is to hold them to
what they've agreed to
1463
01:23:13,655 --> 01:23:15,522
and to keep the pressure on.
1464
01:23:15,557 --> 01:23:17,858
Because even with all the agreements
1465
01:23:17,893 --> 01:23:20,226
put together, it's still not enough.
1466
01:23:20,262 --> 01:23:23,029
But the basis is there to ramp up
1467
01:23:23,064 --> 01:23:25,432
and make more progress.
1468
01:23:25,467 --> 01:23:28,635
There are cities in the
U.S. that have already
1469
01:23:28,670 --> 01:23:32,539
reached the goal of
100% renewable energy.
1470
01:23:32,574 --> 01:23:35,975
Rock Port, Missouri. Greensburg, Kansas.
1471
01:23:36,011 --> 01:23:38,178
They were destroyed by an F5 tornado,
1472
01:23:38,214 --> 01:23:40,513
and when they built
back, they say, "Hey",
1473
01:23:40,549 --> 01:23:43,450
"let's go 100%
renewable," and they have.
1474
01:23:46,522 --> 01:23:47,487
Right here in Houston,
1475
01:23:47,523 --> 01:23:52,058

oil and gas industry,
1476
01:23:52,094 --> 01:23:53,961
you'll hear a lot of people say,
1477
01:23:53,996 --> 01:23:55,128
"Wind and solar's nice,"
1478
01:23:55,163 --> 01:23:57,865
"but it won't really lead anywhere."

And a lot of people are now saying
1480
01:23:59,367 --> 01:24:04,504
that is a strange new form of denial.

This green energy initiative started
1493
01:24:45,747 --> 01:24:47,881
when I was on council in 2008.
1494
01:24:47,916 --> 01:24:48,982
I remember that. Mmm-hmm.
1495
01:24:49,018 --> 01:24:50,917
And the direction that we gave to Chris
1496
01:24:50,952 --> 01:24:53,486
and crew was, in 2008, we said
1497
01:24:53,521 --> 01:24:56,456
by 2030 we want our energy portfolio
1498
01:24:56,491 --> 01:24:59,092
- to be 30% renewable energy.
- Yeah.
1499
01:24:59,128 --> 01:25:01,028
Well, they've sort of blown by that.
1500
01:25:01,063 --> 01:25:02,662
That was ambitious at that time, anyway.
1501
01:25:02,698 --> 01:25:04,197
It was! Absolutely.
1502
01:25:04,232 --> 01:25:06,099
Currently we're 90% renewable energy.
1503
01:25:06,134 --> 01:25:08,101
We're getting our wind out of Amarillo.
1504
01:25:08,136 --> 01:25:10,437
Our solar farm's being
built out in west Texas.
1505
01:25:10,472 --> 01:25:12,872
It should be up and running next spring.
1506
01:25:12,907 --> 01:25:14,107
GORE : Oh.
1507
01:25:14,142 --> 01:25:17,210
And currently, we will
be the first city in Texas
1508
01:25:17,245 --> 01:25:18,945
to be 100% renewable.
1509
01:25:18,980 --> 01:25:20,714
And when we go 100% renewable,
1510
01:25:20,749 --> 01:25:23,150
we will be the largest
city in the country
1511
01:25:23,185 --> 01:25:25,518
that's renewable energy at 100%.
1512
01:25:25,553 --> 01:25:29,356
So, I assume that the
reason you did this
1513
01:25:29,391 --> 01:25:32,693
is that the two of you are
just rabid environmentalists.
1514
01:25:32,728 --> 01:25:34,127
Well, not exactly, because,
1515
01:25:34,163 --> 01:25:36,363

and I'm a conservative Republican.
1519
01:25:42,404 --> 01:25:43,636
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Okay.
1520
01:25:43,672 --> 01:25:47,174
But our duty to our
ratepayers is to provide them
1521
01:25:47,209 --> 01:25:49,642
with the lowest possible utility cost.
1522
01:25:49,678 --> 01:25:51,111

01:25:52,514 --> 01:25:53,914
from a common-sense standpoint,

01:25:53,949 --> 01:25:57,150
the less stuff you put in
the air, the better it is?
1526
01:25:57,186 --> 01:25:59,052
- Yeah.
- I mean, common sense.
1527

has a CPA as a mayor,

I try to answer to the truth
of what needs to be done.
1629

And each of us, in our own ways,
1630
01:31:25,981 --> 01:31:30,583
has the obligation and some ability

01:31:30,619 --> 01:31:34,687
to feel what is more
likely to be true than not.
1632
01:31:34,722 --> 01:31:35,955

what the right thing is.

that's just a feeling that

very deeply about what
the right thing is.

01:31:58,546 --> 01:32:00,514
I'm not confused about it.

GORE : I remember vividly
1642
01:32:10,058 --> 01:32:14,093

Movement first began to

01:32:14,129 --> 01:32:15,896
pick up steam.
1644
01:32:17,499 --> 01:32:20,333

and we asked the older generation
1647
01:32:25,507 --> 01:32:28,108
why it's just and fair to have laws
1648
01:32:28,143 --> 01:32:30,076
that discriminate on
the basis of skin color.
1649
01:32:30,112 --> 01:32:31,722
And when they couldn't
answer that question,
1650
01:32:31,746 --> 01:32:33,813
the laws began to change.

This movement to solve
the climate crisis

that has advanced the
cause of humankind.
1654
01:32:47,629 --> 01:32:50,396
And every single one of them
1655
01:32:50,431 --> 01:32:53,633
has met with resistance to the point
1656
01:32:53,668 --> 01:32:56,936
where many of the advocates felt despair
1657
01:32:56,972 --> 01:33:00,139
and wondered, "How long
is this gonna take?"
1658
01:33:00,175 --> 01:33:02,909
Martin Luther King famously
answered a question during
1659
01:33:02,944 --> 01:33:05,178
some of the bleakest hours
of the Civil Rights Movement,
1660
01:33:05,213 --> 01:33:08,247
when someone asked, "How
long is this gonna take?"
1661
01:33:08,282 --> 01:33:10,450
He said, "How long? Not long."
1662
01:33:10,485 --> 01:33:12,385
"Because no lie can live forever."
1663
01:33:12,421 --> 01:33:14,487
"How long? Not long."
1664
01:33:14,522 --> 01:33:16,889
"Because the moral arc
of the universe is long,"
1665
01:33:16,924 --> 01:33:18,558
"but it bends toward justice."
1666

We are close in this movement.
1668

We are very close to the tipping point
1669
01:33:26,134 --> 01:33:29,802
beyond which this movement,
like the abolition movement,
1670
01:33:29,838 --> 01:33:31,637
like the women's suffrage movement,
1671
01:33:31,673 --> 01:33:33,440
like the Civil Rights Movement,
1672
01:33:33,475 --> 01:33:35,308
like the anti-apartheid movement,
1673
01:33:35,343 --> 01:33:37,010
like the movement for gay rights,
1674
01:33:37,045 --> 01:33:41,046
is resolved into a choice
between right and wrong.
1675
01:33:41,082 --> 01:33:43,550
And because of who we
are as human beings,
1676
01:33:43,585 --> 01:33:46,151
the outcome is foreordained.
1677
01:33:46,187 --> 01:33:49,689
And it is right to save
the future for humanity!
1678
01:33:49,724 --> 01:33:52,024
It is wrong to pollute this Earth
1679
