Al Gore tells jonkarl that climate change is 'getting worse faster than we are mobilizing to solve it,' but the 'good news' is that 'we now have an upsurge in climate activism at the grassroots in all 50 states... and in every country in the world.'
Former Vice President Al Gore called for unity and urgency in the American response to climate change, saying he was encouraged by growing climate activism around the world, but alarmed by what he said is the imminence of irreversible, continuing environmental damage.
"The United States of America -- and only the United States of America -- can provide the necessary leadership to rally nations around the world to do the right thing," he said. For the Trump administration, however, the approach to climate change has included rolling back environmental protection policies, including those implemented under President Barack Obama, from repealing Obama-era regulations on methane in September 2018 to relaxing safety measures on offshore drilling in May. In 2017, Trump announced his intention to pull out of the landmark Paris climate agreement, saying it crippled American job growth and manufacturing.
In the same interview, Karl asked Gore about the possibility of impeachment proceedings against Trump. The Judiciary Committee, led by Rep Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., is investigating whether to recommend articles of impeachment for what Nadler has said is"the obstructive conduct described by the special counsel." Gore, during his vice presidency in the Clinton administration, saw impeachment proceedings from up close and said he supports the course of action Nadler has decided to pursue.
