Gore: Anti-climate lobbies were backed by billions of dollars

India can lead in green energy: Al Gore - The Economic Times

When pointed out that the US, a major polluter, was still lagging behind in implementing green laws, Gore sought to put the blame on anti-climate lobbies active in his country.

"There are six anti-climate lobbyists for every member of the Senate," he said, adding that such interest groups were making an organised attempt to change the public opinion on climate change by creating false doubts on climate science.

Gore, who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize joint award with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the anti-climate lobbies were backed by billions of dollars from the carbon polluting industries in the US.
