Al Gore writes “it would be an enormous relief” if the science behind climate change was discredited. There would be no need to make major changes to protect civilization. Alas, there is no relief. Gore points out we would still need to change. Sending billions to unstable regions overseas for oil poses great risk. Moreover, the Nobel winner points out the scientific evidence remains overwhelming. “The reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed by the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.” Rather than wishing the crisis away, Gore urges that we face climate change head on and take decisive action.
