Al Gore on Apple, Google, and the “Broken” U.S. Political System - Peter Kafka

10:38 am: Walt: OK, let’s talk about the climate. This ties into tech: We love all these devices. Walt gestures to writers sitting in the front row, and Gore notes “All Apple — almost all Apple”. But it seems like people in the developed world have all these great devices, but people in the rest of the world deal with the pollution. Here in Hong Kong, there’s a lot of smog, and I’m told that much of it comes from over the border in mainland China, where much of this stuff is made.

Gore: About two percent of global warming comes from this stuff. “It’s a non-trivial factor”.
...
Except for this massive disinformation campaign, reminiscent of the tobacco industry in the 1950s telling us that smoking didn’t cause cancer, that tells us this stuff isn’t a problem.

10:48 am: Gore: Meanwhile look what’s happening in Pakistan, Thailand, Russia, Colombia, all facing terrible crises because of the climate. Columbia has had 5x its normally rainfall this year. The Philippines have had massive series of downpours for the past two years. Nashville, my hometown, just had “once in a thousand year rainfall… at some point there has to be a reality check.”

10:49 am: Walt: And this is all because of pollution?

10:49 am: Gore: Yes.
