Former Vice President Al Gore claimed 10 Republican senators are ready to turn on President Donald Trump on global warming policy.
“There’s a new development, there are now 30 Republican members of the House of Representatives who have changed sides on this issue and have become part of a group committed to solving the climate crisis,” Gore told The Independent. “There are about 10 Republican senators who right now are considering changing sides, a couple already have.”
Gore did not identify who these ready-to-defect Republican lawmakers are, but said with their help, “we are going to win this, there’s no question about that,” and that “[h]istory is on our side.”
He made these remarks at an event in the United Kingdom, where he previewed his new film, “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.”
Gore also argued Trump wouldn’t be able to stop the environmental movement.
“He [Trump] is seemingly determined to eliminate all of the Government programs that he can eliminate that would help the US reach its goals but the speed and force of this transformation underway in the West may lead to the achievement of the US goals regardless of what he does,” Gore said.
Gore … solve the “climate crisis”, what a joke . How is that ice free Arctic looking ?
He is right about one thing Trump is stopping the whole sale robbery of it’s citizens
based on an overblown con game .
Citizens are going to vote any clowns out of office that pursue a fuel poverty agenda .
I’ll bet most of them told Gore what he wanted to hear so he’d leave.
They all know that when he had been among them,
that he was neither the smartest nor honest among them.
Even Joe Biden knew that .
To quote An Officer and a Gentleman, (Al Gore) is “a slick little hustler”.
He’s not only a dim bulb, but he appears to be border-line psychotic. After his bitter presidential loss he put on 40 pounds and looked like his own fan-boy, Ted Kaczynski for a year or two. Later, it seems he’s decided to assuage his ego by becoming the Jim Jones of the climate change cult.
Don’t drink the Kool Aid.
“Gore also argued Trump wouldn‚Äôt be able to stop the environmental movement.”
Climate and environment are two different things. Everyone wants a clean environment. That we can do something about. We can do nothing to stop climate change – if indeed it’s changing. All I’m seeing are cyclical changes. Nothing more.
