Al Gore: Climate Change Means Worse Weather Ahead - The Daily Beast
As a brutal hurricane season bears down, former Vice President Al Gore says there will be worse disasters ahead if we don’t act soon—and when it comes to national security, Mother Nature is as fearsome as terrorists.
...we emailed former vice president and Nobel laureate Al Gore several questions about the risks ahead. These are his responses:
[Gore] Scientists have been warning for years that extreme weather will become even more extreme. So, we know that we must prepare for the impacts of the climate crisis that are already taking place now—bigger and more extreme floods, longer droughts, more damaging wildfires, more intense hurricanes—and we have to cut the pollution that is driving the climate crisis in the first place. To do anything less is to put children, our grandchildren and ourselves in great peril.
