Former Vice President Al Gore characterized change in the climate as a crisis akin to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the siege on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Gore, 71, kicked off a climate activism campaign called, “24 Hours of Reality,” with harsh words for anyone pushing against proponents of climate alarmism. At Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, Gore asserted that change in the climate was a crisis that should be compared to the al Qaeda attack of 9/11 and World War II battles such as Midway, Dunkirk, and the surprise attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor. Gore said that climate change was “the life and death struggle of people alive today.” The terrorist attacks and battles mentioned by Gore amounted to tens of thousands of violent deaths.
