Former Vice President Al Gore called President Donald Trump the “global face of climate denial” in an interview with “The Daily Show” on Wednesday night.
“It’s really significant, Trevor, that Donald J. Trump is now the face of climate denial. His voice is the voice of climate denial,” Gore told host Trevor Noah.
Gore was responding to Trump’s claim that U.S. air and water quality were at “record” levels of cleanliness. Noah pulled a quote from Trump’s larger statement on why he disagreed with dire predictions made in National Climate Assessment(NCA) released Friday.
“As to whether or not it’s man-made and whether or not the effects that you’re talking about are there, I don’t see it,” Trump told The Washington Post in an Oval Office interview Tuesday.
Indeed, NCA critics pointed out the report relies heavily on an “exceptionally unlikely” worst-case scenario that projects four degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century.
Gore, who built his life around global warming activism after a failed 2000 presidential bid, said he understood why some people are still loyal to Trump but claimed the “vast majority” of Americans have “had it with constant craziness.”
“When he’s the principal global face of climate denial, I think that’s a cue,” Gore continued. “You know, in physics, there’s this well-known principle — for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.”
“I think that some of the mobilization that is really building — we saw it in the election three weeks ago with the blue wave. I think part of that is a reaction to what Donald Trump is saying and doing,” Gore said.
While Gore was critical of Trump’s dismissal of the NCA’s findings, the former vice president has also come under fire for misrepresenting the climate science and making fantastical predictions that didn’t come true.
Most famously, Gore predicted in 2008 the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. That prediction has not yet come to pass. Gore also claimed Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro would have no snow at its peak by 2016 — there’s still snow.

is the face of
Climate FRAUD !
Al Gore is a Con Man a Snake Oil Salesman and the #1 Hypotcrite selling his phonie elxier Manbearpig Climate Change
And you can add my face right along with. I am the biggest denier on Earth. CO2 is irrelevant below 12,00 feet because of water vapor is the ONLY greenhouse gas. Above 12,000 the air is so thin that there are NO greenhouse gases.
Of course Gore understands Trump. Hates him, too. Trump is not the leader of climate deniers, he’s the personification of success , the antithesis of sloth. Gore wants to join the Billionaire Boys Club, one sucker at a time.
Blue wave? Nancy Pelosi should try it. Grecian Formula for women is true denialism.
Does Al Gore REALLY want to open this discussion and invite speculation about what he is the face of globally? At the very least he will go down in history as the Laughing Stock of Science in the early 21 Century. This is the best he can ever hope for.
Nobody in the world denies the climate is changing. That is what it does. The argument is that humans are the cause and can control it. Has anyone ever asked him to prove humans cause the climate to change? What is the perfect climate? Why is the earth cold at the poles and hot at the equator? How doe these idiots, including Trudeau and his climate barbie, plan to have a perfect climate covering the entire earth?
What is the perfect climate?
I’ve never heard a warmist talk about it. Millions of people seem to think that the southern USA is it. They’re willing to pull up stakes and move there for retirement.
Trudeau and Climate Barbie are so far out of touch they think Canada would suffer from a warm up . Why does 90% our population live within 100 miles of the southern border with America?
