HE IS BACK AT IT AGAIN, WITH "AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO
POWER." >> IT IS RIGHT TO SAVE THE
FUTURE FOR HUMANITY. IT IS WRONG TO POLLUTE THIS
EARTH. IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE HOPE TO THE
FUTURE GENERATIONS. IT WILL NOT BE EASY.
>> VICE PRESIDENT GORE, WELCOME BACK.
WHAT HAS CHANGED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PERCEPTION
OF THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THAT TIME?
>> THERE'S BEEN TWO BIG CHANGES, WILLIE.
THE CLIMATE-RELATED WEATHER EVENTS HAVE BEEN MORE
DESTRUCTIVE AND MORE COMMON. IN THE U.S., WE'VE HAD 11 ONCE
IN A 1,000 YEAR DOWNPOURS IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.
SECONDLY, WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS NOP BUT THERE'S SO MUCH
HOPEFULNESS IN THIS MOVIE. PEOPLE CAN BE A PART OF SOLVING
THE CRISIS BY GETTING INVOLVED. USE YOUR VOICE ON THIS ISSUE.
USE YOUR VOTE. USE YOUR CHOICES.
THE TRUTH IS ABOUT THE CLIMATE
CRISIS IS STILL INCONVENIENT. WE NEED TO BE INCONVENIENT FOR
THEM. AND ACTUALLY PUSH THE RIGHT KIND
OF POLICIES. IT CREATES MORE JOBS IN THE
PROCESS. >> I WAS WATCHING THE FILM.
AND YOU SAID OVER THE LAST DECADE, YOU'VE BEEN FRUSTRATED.
YOU SAID YOU VIEWED IT AS ALMOST A PERSONAL FAILURE THAT MORE
HASN'T BEEN DONE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
>> THE LARGE POLLUTERS, TRYING TO PULL THE WOOL OVER PEOPLE'S
EYES. BUT PEOPLE ARE SEEING THROUGH IT
NOW BECAUSE MOTHER NATURE HAS JOINED THE DEBATE.
IT'S BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.
BUT MOTHER NATURE IS PRETTY
PERSUASIVE. I WENT TO MIAMI ON A SUNNY DAY,
NO RAIN. AND I SAW FISH FROM THE OCEAN
SWIMMING IN THE STREETS BECAUSE IT WAS A HIGH TIDE.
>> WHY IS IT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SO DIFFICULT TO SINK IN WITH
PEOPLE? YOU HAD OVER THE YEARS, BEHIND
HEALTH CARE AND TERRORISM AND JOBS AND ALL THE THINGS PEOPLE
WORRY ABOUT. THOSE NUMBERS ARE GONE UP.
45% OF PEOPLE IN A NEW GALLUP POLE BELIEVE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE
IS A BIG ISSUE. WHY IS IT A TOUGH ROAD TO HO?
>> IF YOU SEE A TURTLE ON A FENCE POST, IT DIDN'T THERE GET
THERE BY MYSELF. THEY ARE TRYING TO SQUEEZE AS
MUCH OUT OF THE BUSINESS PLAN. IT'S A GLOBAL ISSUE.
IT'S BIGGER THAN ANYTHING WE'VE HAD TO CONFRONT IN THE PAST.
WE QUADRUPLE THE POPULATION. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS, SOLAR
ELECTRICITY AND WIND ELECTRICITY, HAVE COME DOWN SO
QUICKLY IN PRICE. IN MANY AREAS, IT IS CHEAPER.
THE BATTERIES ARE COMING DOWN IN PRICE.
SOLAR JOBS ARE GROWING IN THE U.S. 17-TIMES FASTER THAN OTHER
JOBS. WE'RE SEEING A SURGE IN
EMPLOYMENT IN THE RENEWABLE SECTOR.
AND THE THINGS WE NEED TO SOLVE THE CLIMATE CRISIS ARE THINGS
THAT NEED TO BOOST THE ECONOMY, AS WELL.
THERE'S A BOOK COMING OUT THE SAME DAY NEXT WEEK "AN
INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER."
YOU JUST TOUCHED DOWN. THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WATCHED "AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH" AND SAID, WE WILL REACH THE POINT OF NO
RETURN. YOUR CRITICS SAY, WE'RE 10, 11
YEARS AFTER THAT AND THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT LOST.
IT'S GETTING WARMER. WE'RE DOING OKAY.
>> REGRETTABLY SUN DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE.
MAJOR SECTIONS OF ANTARCTICA HAVE PASSED A POINT BEYOND WHICH
SOME ADDITIONAL SEA LEVEL RISE IS INEVITABLE.
AND WE'RE SEEING INCREDIBLE DOWNPOURS.
THIS CITY WAS INUNDATED DURING SANDY, AS THE MOVIE A DECADE AGO
PREDICTED. AND IT HAPPENED YEARS
BEFOREHAND. BUT THE OTHER BIG CHANGE THAT I
MENTION, IS GIVING US A LOT OF HOPE.
WE JUST NEED TO PUSH THESE CHANGES THROUGH.
THEY'LL CREATE A BETTER WAY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.S.
AND AROUND THE WORLD. >> VICE PRESIDENT, AL GORE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. "AN
