I don't think it's fair to paint nuclear as non-viable. It IS a key to our most prudent path forward. That minimal increase in cost is because the rules and regs around it have TIGHTENED, making it safer. That is a GOOD thing.
In fact, nuclear energy is the BEST alternative for a system to generate enough electricity with less climate impact. Energy production cost is NOT the only factor to consider. What happens when there is not enough Sun? or Wind? Currenlty lot of the Systems based on solar panels use Fossil fuel plants to generate enough electricty at night.... Storage capacity at city or country level is not yet well developed..
Nuclear is good. Problem is cost and speed of install. Switching coal/gas to nuclear is too slow, which is why it isn't emphasised by climate advocates. Both are required but priority is wind solar batteries to decrease greenhouse gases asap

Pretty great speech, even if I disagree on his statements about Capitalism. A democratic economy (beginning in with a democratic workplace) is a necessary tool in solving this problem.
So what about the people that currently have to buy a new vehicle that uses a combustion engine because they can’t afford the expensive electric vehicles at this point in time? It seems like those people are screwed due to rising gas prices and already financing a vehicle.
There will be a ton of stranded assets but that's just how disruption goes. When the car first came along and ended the horse drawn carriage... unfortunately people ate the horses.
That's a legitimate concern. However replacing all ice vehicles with electric won't solve the problem (though it would help).

Nuclear is viable for a period of time. It’s too polemic to say it isn’t. Nuclear isn’t a permanent solution, nor is it a solution for unstable or dangerous nations (due to the ability to produce weapons), but it’s a *very good* solution for the next 75-100 years where we can finally move to a fully sustainable energy generation capability. Said another way: it’s the absolute best choice we have for now and we should just do it and also plan for its retirement. However, that makes for a complex statement and it’s difficult to get people to buy into planned obsolescence-except in this case, the future of the planet depends upon us having enough time to move to 100% green energy that has no negative byproducts. We just don’t have the storage capability to handle power loads at night time, for now. It’s just going to take time to get the battery and energy storage market up to speed, more time than we have. Right now, we have dips in energy generation at night and when the wind isn’t strong. We have to spin up gas turbines to make up the deficit due to that unreliability-because we have no real way to store excess electricity and thus nothing to pull from when there’s a deficit. We have to use nuclear to make consistent power until the time comes that we can store the green energy for access during low production times.
When civilization inevitably collapses, those nuclear plants will melt down. It would be best to dismantle the things safely NOW, before fascists take over and return us to a new Dark Ages.
Gotta stop calling it Nuclear. Gotta start specifying Fission vs Fusion. Grid Fusion will be online before 2026. By-products include helium. Better than relying on sunlight which isn't always available.
Nuclear takes decades from plan to power production. I can go to a shop right now, buy solar panels and generate power in hours. Nuclear buys time for the fossil fuel companies.
Thank you Al. Will join a local chapter for climate activism and only vote for officials who pledge to not take money from fossil fuel industry. This is the greatest opportunity we have to create a clean, healthy climate and one that is equitable for all. Let’s go!
Uploaded 5 minutes ago. 11 comments. 1 denying climate change as fear mongering. 9 denouncing or insulting Gore based on being corrupt or irrelevant. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the science beyond dispute at this point? How is changing to renewable clean energy harmful for anyone?
Because nothing is clean. There’s no scientific evidence to suggest that fossil fuels are damaging to the environment. But you should already know that. Your beliefs are certainly the result of years of work and research. Or do you believe everything you read...
Hi Mike, in case you sincerely asked the question - most folks i know who resist the change only resist it happening quickly. The economic shock of sudden change could lead to crazy amounts of starvation and war. Especially int he developing world. I'm no expert but that's the primary concern as I understand it. Not against the science of climate change - but the estimated rapidity of the change, the drastic nature thereof and the breakneck pace of the recommended changes that could have significant impact on human thriving or suffering.
@@grmpEqweer unfortunately that's not true. They have thought that for decades and we keep developing better and better ways of extracting oil. Plus there is so much we haven't even tapped yet.
Question 1. If we ceased all use of fossil fuels tomorrow, how many millennia would it take to get the climate where you want it? Please answer. Question 2. how much has axis shift effected climate shift? Question 3. why don't we put more of our focus on the development of cleaner use of fossil fuels? especially since you will never get other nations to go along with the plan? Plant trees, God's natural carbon eaters.
Al Gore cannot answer this as he is a dumb plank 1, this is impossible to know it's built from a dumb statement from al gore 2, there hasn't really been any axis shift you prob believe some sort of trash science here, improve yourself 3, we do we are making alcohol based fuels already, sometimes we cannot though turn people's food into fuel for your car

Those of us that are not science deniers heard Al Gore decades ago say, "CO2 goes way up into the atmosphere and stays there for thousands of years", and immediately knew he was lying and have ever since been trying to figure out WHY.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHO CREATE THE ICE AGE CLIMATE CHANGE ……THE ICE MEN CREATE IT. HOW STUPID PEOPLE ARE IN MY OPINION TO FOLLOW ANY LOWLIFE CON ARTIST LIKE A DOG IN HEAT.
He wrote once about my country: "We learned, for example, that in some areas in Poland, children are regularly taken underground into deep mines to gain some respite from the buildup of gases and pollution of all sorts in the air. One can almost imagine their teachers emerging tentatively from the mine, carrying canaries to warn the children when it’s no longer safe for them to stay above the ground." - I was growing up exactly in the region he mentioned and I've never heard a bigger fake news. I can't check the rest of his 'knowledge', but for me it's truly difficult to believe in what he says.
Where are all these comments coming from? Are we so lost? I really wonder who gains by getting people to think the climate crisis is not a serious problem? Do rich big ego's not want their children to prosper as well? Or do they have a space ship?
I'll show how old I am. Mr. Al spoke about rising sea waters, global warming, and land being eaten up in Florida by rising seas... where he seems to have a number of properties. Anyway, I know he's smart, etc. but I don't feel he represents many of us, and I never will. Nobel Laureate... I always respected that title, but Mr. Gore makes me question it at least a little bit... albeit, I probably have more media facts than actual ones. I'm just tired of the rhetoric I guess at this point.
He's more optimistic than I am. I really hope he's right that we can solve this problem and prevent our own extinction. How do we get people to work together? We can't even solve the pandemic because of widespread disinformation about vaccines, and lack of distribution to other countries. We are too incoherent as a species.

The earth is supposed t be two thirds water. The ice caps are only tiny compared to the land mass across the. Continents and when ice melts in water the level stays the same due to displacement . So how much ice would have to melt to make the Pacific and Atlantic rise enough to cover Europe China, Africa and America etc 🤣
"Multi-stakeholder capitalism" is just another way of saying same old shareholder capitalism. So Al Gore believes a good way of solving the problems that our capitalist system has caused is just to do some more capitalism? Isn't that one of the definitions of insanity?
15:00 what is he talking about? How can he compare rules of society with natural laws? Energy has to come from somewhere. Even making glasses for solar pannels,monitors on phones etc. need temperatures over 1000 degrees, how can you achieve that,how can you mine for materials? With Electrial drills powered by solar panels? You can drive for 2km with car with just few drops(150ml) of fuel,there is nothing that can replace fossil fuels completely in that efficiency.
Thank you Al Gore for continuing to tell the inconvenient truth that I have enjoyed sharing starting with your book "EARTH In THE BALANCE" from 1991. SInce I live in Sweden I have had the chance to participate in the demonstrations with Greta Thunberg and Fridays For Future. I hope you will join us for the actvities around Stockholm+50 in June 2022.
The way to deal with climate change is to focus on the source: over population. We have the resources to support about 10 billion people, but the changes in the environment cannot be stopped or reversed without reducing the population and the damage it causes.
@@RichardTavillaWhen I was a little boy, we used to get 2 to 3 feet of snow several times every winter. Now, it is rare for us to get 2 to 3 inches once or twice. I have traveled all over the world for the past 45 years. I have personally seen changes in the climate that would surprise you.
On June 24, 1986, Gore introduced S 2594, Supercomputer Network Study Act of 1986. So, yes... it was his foresight for the funding. And it is Al Gore's foresight today about the plant you personally are destroying for future generations.
You Bozo's are the ones who turned it into him inventing the technology, but don't stop there, he went to the school where it was happening at the same time...

Talking about it ain't gonna fix the issue. We've been talking about it my entire adulthood life, 39 years I've been hearing the same story & every year things are getting worse, sigh. Like millions of people, I've just switched off, because i really don't care anymore. I've seen the ugliness of humanity for far too many years, to care anymore. We deserve what we get, because the majority of humans are assholes, greedy, selfish, ignorant, arrogant, living in our bubbles. We have become so disconnected with the natural world & possessed by the comforts of technology. I feel sad & upset mostly for the wild animals, because they didn't participate in all of this insanity, yet are suffering because of our stupidity. I don't feel sorry for Earth, because she will survive our stupidity once we humans are extinct & trust me, that day is coming. Planet Earth will survive us after we are gone. Trying to educate humans & the filthy rich, is like giving a teenager your credit card & hoping they will spend wisely lol sigh A foolish fantasy Perhaps Neil Armstrong should have said "one small step for man, one giant disaster for mankind "
You are young and don't realize it was much worse in the 60's when rivers were catching on fire and people were having seizures from car fumes in traffic, while toxic pesticides were sprayed at schools with children present. People have taken the generation that made significant changes for granted. I felt gloom and doom until I watched a documentary that showed how the environmental movement succeeded back then. By contacting our elected officials who are working for us and pressuring them positive results will ensue, as evidenced by the millions of dollars being spent by my state to clean up Lake Erie and it's aquaducts. Unlike previous generations, people today complain but do not demand action. We demanded it and now something is being done with the Governor backing it up too which is their job (& is a Republican btw). I tell people plant a garden or put up a birdfeeder and do a birdcount once a year with Cornell University, plant some trees, and I can promise you the naysayers will get a wake up call and take action. Good always takes longer to work but eventually overcomes evil.
Right on. I feel the same way but at the end of it, I always say 'well, why not care?' I got rid of my car years ago and adjusted my life to suit a vehicle-less existence. I've actually saved a ton of money from that alone.
I feel the same way at times but like Jane Goodall said: "You won't get anywhere just talking to people - you have to connect through the heart for change". I tried her approach and it does work. Mostly I have gotten people off pesticides, to create wildlife habitats and recycle. It's a wake up call especially when you get into the estrogen / testosterone issue, but all in all the environmental movement changed things because back then people spoke up and contacted their state representatives and held them accountable. It was the minority that got it going. Today we are in a more apathetic society which gets you no where. Lastly, I can attest to the small changes I have made have made a big difference.
Anybody remember how angry Senator Gore got when Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister suggested during a Senate hearing that if Senator Gores wife Tipper found his lyrics to be suggestive of bondage ,domination and humiliation then maybe that is what she was yearning for. LOL Look it up! Google is our friend!

Vatican is the result. Al Gore got super rich on the back of preaching doom and gloom climate change. Yet himslef has one of the biggest seaside mansions etc.
And so much has changed, during covid when people were locked up in their houses and nobody was driving but it got hotter. So the more we drive the cooler it was actually making it.

Gotta stop calling it Nuclear. Gotta start specifying Fission vs Fusion. Grid Fusion will be online before 2026. By-products include helium. Better than relying on sunlight which isn't always available.
Nuclear takes decades from plan to power production. I can go to a shop right now, buy solar panels and generate power in hours. Nuclear buys time for the fossil fuel companies.
I hear you can stop sea level rise by buying and living in ocean beach front estates, he's doing so much for the planet. Lol
Tldr: I'm sorry that all of the predictions I made in my movie an inconvenient Truth have not come true, but this time im sure I'm right
Thank you Al. Will join a local chapter for climate activism and only vote for officials who pledge to not take money from fossil fuel industry. This is the greatest opportunity we have to create a clean, healthy climate and one that is equitable for all. Let’s go!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the science beyond dispute at this point?
How is changing to renewable clean energy harmful for anyone?
Because nothing is clean. There’s no scientific evidence to suggest that fossil fuels are damaging to the environment. But you should already know that. Your beliefs are certainly the result of years of work and research. Or do you believe everything you read...
Hi Mike, in case you sincerely asked the question - most folks i know who resist the change only resist it happening quickly. The economic shock of sudden change could lead to crazy amounts of starvation and war. Especially int he developing world. I'm no expert but that's the primary concern as I understand it. Not against the science of climate change - but the estimated rapidity of the change, the drastic nature thereof and the breakneck pace of the recommended changes that could have significant impact on human thriving or suffering.
Reminder: Fossil fuels aren't an endless supply. We have hit global peak oil, now. Oil will keep getting more expensive.
Just keep reminding yourself that the TH-cam comments section is not a valid cross-section of humanity.
It's the only thing keeping me sane.
@@grmpEqweer unfortunately that's not true. They have thought that for decades and we keep developing better and better ways of extracting oil. Plus there is so much we haven't even tapped yet.
Climate change issue is no longer only a worry, but a huge business market that employee millions and cannot be stopped.
Maybe a good place to start would be to stop flying everywhere in your private jet.
Rules for the plebs but not for me! It's disgusting how many morons are still in love with him.

Can Al Gore PLEASE run for president again?!?! Old, yet still sharp. Also, he knows Washington bureaucracy. LIKE if you agree
Question 1. If we ceased all use of fossil fuels tomorrow, how many millennia would it take to get the climate where you want it? Please answer.
Question 2. how much has axis shift effected climate shift?
Question 3. why don't we put more of our focus on the development of cleaner use of fossil fuels? especially since you will never get other nations to go along with the plan?
Plant trees, God's natural carbon eaters.
Al Gore cannot answer this as he is a dumb plank
1, this is impossible to know it's built from a dumb statement from al gore
2, there hasn't really been any axis shift you prob believe some sort of trash science here, improve yourself
3, we do we are making alcohol based fuels already, sometimes we cannot though turn people's food into fuel for your car
How should we approach the inevitability of the MBP event?

Very common knowledge, the higher in elevation you are the less oxygen there is. Mountaineers carry their own above 20,000'. This is because O2 is slightly heavier than N2. CO2 is O2 attached to a deenergized carbon atom making it much heavier than O2.
Those of us that are not science deniers heard Al Gore decades ago say, "CO2 goes way up into the atmosphere and stays there for thousands of years", and immediately knew he was lying and have ever since been trying to figure out WHY.
Then finally early this year the billionaires announced their agenda to start a new evil world economy. They claimed that we are not doing our part to stop climate change so they have to take over with, "The Great Reset, you will own nothing and be happy", AKA

It may well catch fire if we keep filling it with our trash ☹️
We need to concentrate on reducing our waste and protecting our ecosystems.
Goddammit....I waited 15 minutes for Al Gore to start talking about the real issue on this planet....... ManBearPig
He wrote once about my country: "We learned, for example, that in some areas in Poland, children are regularly taken underground into deep mines to gain some respite from the buildup of gases and pollution of all sorts in the air. One can almost imagine their teachers emerging tentatively from the mine, carrying canaries to warn the children when it’s no longer safe for them to stay above the ground." - I was growing up exactly in the region he mentioned and I've never heard a bigger fake news. I can't check the rest of his 'knowledge', but for me it's truly difficult to believe in what he says.

How in the world can you get up and talk about the climate crisis for more than 15 minutes without so much as a mention of animal agriculture?
Maybe he reeeeeeaaaaaaaalllly likes beef.
Where are all these comments coming from? Are we so lost? I really wonder who gains by getting people to think the climate crisis is not a serious problem? Do rich big ego's not want their children to prosper as well? Or do they have a space ship?
It's no problem at all.
I'll show how old I am. Mr. Al spoke about rising sea waters, global warming, and land being eaten up in Florida by rising seas... where he seems to have a number of properties. Anyway, I know he's smart, etc. but I don't feel he represents many of us, and I never will. Nobel Laureate... I always respected that title, but Mr. Gore makes me question it at least a little bit... albeit, I probably have more media facts than actual ones. I'm just tired of the rhetoric I guess at this point.
You’re just not educated about him.
The Nobel committee gives peace prizes to war criminals, so YMMV.
@@Suzanne333333I used to believe this crap. Why doesn’t it bother you that nothing he said came true?
1 thing you'll never see -- let's do less wars
There is no profit in peace...
He's more optimistic than I am. I really hope he's right that we can solve this problem and prevent our own extinction.
How do we get people to work together? We can't even solve the pandemic because of widespread disinformation about vaccines, and lack of distribution to other countries. We are too incoherent as a species.

@@ZennExile I agree with basically everything you said in paragraphs one and four except for the "people like you" part.
And would you mind sharing some sources so I can learn more about what you proposed in paragraphs two and three? Believe it or not I'm open to any potential solutions to our problems.
@@ZennExile No sources?
@@ZennExile I'm willing to research your proposed solution, but I'm going to need some sources. I'm not just going to take the word of some random youtube commenter who claims they have the solution to all of the world's problems. So until you provide at least one source, I'm going to assume you're full of it.
@@ZennExile @Zenn Exile @Zenn Exile I said nothing about you being on the other team. In fact I said I agreed with most of what you said in your first response. It seems as though you're projecting onto me an argument you must have made up in your head. You're the one who has convinced yourself that I'm on the other team. I asked you for more information to support your claim and your response to me is "you're too stupid to understand anyway". You're clearly a very stable genius. And based on your "previously foretold prophecy" comment, you must think very highly of yourself. A rational genius like yourself should want to share their solutions to all the worlds problems so the dummies like me can get to work on implementing your masterful plan, right?

Gore predicted would be underwater now. He’s rich. Manhattan still stands.
I miss when TED talks were actually credible.
Well I guess if that 1 prediction by Gore was wrong then all climate science is wrong...
@@mlgtactics9911 Of course it is.
And because LeBron James hit another player we exactly know he will probably from now on hit other players in EVERY game.
The earth is supposed t be two thirds water. The ice caps are only tiny compared to the land mass across the. Continents and when ice melts in water the level stays the same due to displacement . So how much ice would have to melt to make the Pacific and Atlantic rise enough to cover Europe China, Africa and America etc 🤣
The dude was slightly off, so we should totally ignore him and dismiss the current evidence.
Gotcha. 😆
@@mlgtactics9911 go look back 50 years and find ANY prediction that came true. You can’t.

I wonder what the like to dislike ratio is...too bad youtube removed it to save channels like this
What? To save educational channels? Optimistic channels?
In conclusion, humanity and other species in the same food chain, are doomed unless change is implemented today.
Technically, the time to change our ways was about forty years ago, but we might as well keep trying.
5:00 talk about a monster
That was a seriously missed opportunity
"Multi-stakeholder capitalism" is just another way of saying same old shareholder capitalism. So Al Gore believes a good way of solving the problems that our capitalist system has caused is just to do some more capitalism? Isn't that one of the definitions of insanity?
We cannot change the entire system in the time required. Make your peace with that or don’t, but I promise, you can help a lot more if you do.
Another way of saying it is Market Socialism, but he has to frame in a way that doesn't frighten the capitalists too much.
pollution is a problem in any economic system
15:00 what is he talking about? How can he compare rules of society with natural laws? Energy has to come from somewhere. Even making glasses for solar pannels,monitors on phones etc. need temperatures over 1000 degrees, how can you achieve that,how can you mine for materials? With Electrial drills powered by solar panels? You can drive for 2km with car with just few drops(150ml) of fuel,there is nothing that can replace fossil fuels completely in that efficiency.
Thank you Al Gore for continuing to tell the inconvenient truth that I have enjoyed sharing starting with your book "EARTH In THE BALANCE" from 1991. SInce I live in Sweden I have had the chance to participate in the demonstrations with Greta Thunberg and Fridays For Future. I hope you will join us for the actvities around Stockholm+50 in June 2022.
Turns out it was all a lie
i thought this was about AI creating gore or something...
It is.
The way to deal with climate change is to focus on the source: over population. We have the resources to support about 10 billion people, but the changes in the environment cannot be stopped or reversed without reducing the population and the damage it causes.
you reduce first
We had one boy. He died 10 years ago. Is that enough for you?
@@jlshoem my condolences but presumably your son was not the one parroting Gore's garbage

@@RichardTavillaWhen I was a little boy, we used to get 2 to 3 feet of snow several times every winter. Now, it is rare for us to get 2 to 3 inches once or twice. I have traveled all over the world for the past 45 years. I have personally seen changes in the climate that would surprise you.
Does he mention his oceanside mansion?
Hey isn’t that the guy who invented the Internet?
On June 24, 1986, Gore introduced S 2594, Supercomputer Network Study Act of 1986. So, yes... it was his foresight for the funding. And it is Al Gore's foresight today about the plant you personally are destroying for future generations.
You Bozo's are the ones who turned it into him inventing the technology, but don't stop there, he went to the school where it was happening at the same time...
You people lack any nuances of human intelligence... Oh, there is no god, your wasting your time.

Mr Gore, Lead by example. Stop flying all over the place on private jets. There is no reason for you to be there in person. You can telepresence. Rid yourself of multiple homes and downsize to a reasonable sized house designed with efficiency at the forefront.
Then I'll listen to you. Until then you are the poster boy for do as I say, not as I do.
Why?

I agree with him
Talking about it ain't gonna fix the issue. We've been talking about it my entire adulthood life, 39 years I've been hearing the same story & every year things are getting worse, sigh.
Like millions of people, I've just switched off, because i really don't care anymore.
I've seen the ugliness of humanity for far too many years, to care anymore.
We deserve what we get, because the majority of humans are assholes, greedy, selfish, ignorant, arrogant, living in our bubbles.
We have become so disconnected with the natural world & possessed by the comforts of technology.
I feel sad & upset mostly for the wild animals, because they didn't participate in all of this insanity, yet are suffering because of our stupidity.
I don't feel sorry for Earth, because she will survive our stupidity once we humans are extinct & trust me, that day is coming.
Planet Earth will survive us after we are gone.
Trying to educate humans & the filthy rich, is like giving a teenager your credit card & hoping they will spend wisely lol sigh
A foolish fantasy
Perhaps Neil Armstrong should have said "one small step for man, one giant disaster for mankind "
I both agree and disagree with your belief because your use of foul language but I respect it at the same time because it's your opinion
All he said was "assholes"! 🤪
You are young and don't realize it was much worse in the 60's when rivers were catching on fire and people were having seizures from car fumes in traffic, while toxic pesticides were sprayed at schools with children present. People have taken the generation that made significant changes for granted. I felt gloom and doom until I watched a documentary that showed how the environmental movement succeeded back then. By contacting our elected officials who are working for us and pressuring them positive results will ensue, as evidenced by the millions of dollars being spent by my state to clean up Lake Erie and it's aquaducts. Unlike previous generations, people today complain but do not demand action.
We demanded it and now something is being done with the Governor backing it up too which is their job (& is a Republican btw). I tell people plant a garden or put up a birdfeeder and do a birdcount once a year with Cornell University, plant some trees, and I can promise you the naysayers will get a wake up call and take action. Good always takes longer to work but eventually overcomes evil.
Right on. I feel the same way but at the end of it, I always say 'well, why not care?' I got rid of my car years ago and adjusted my life to suit a vehicle-less existence. I've actually saved a ton of money from that alone.
I feel the same way at times but like Jane Goodall said: "You won't get anywhere just talking to people - you have to connect through the heart for change".
I tried her approach and it does work. Mostly I have gotten people off pesticides, to create wildlife habitats and recycle.
It's a wake up call especially when you get into the estrogen / testosterone issue, but all in all the environmental movement changed things because back then people spoke up and contacted their state representatives and held them accountable. It was the minority that got it going. Today we are in a more apathetic society which gets you no where. Lastly, I can attest to the small changes I have made have made a big difference.
Takes a private jet from his coastal mansion to lecture normal people about BTU's. Yeah, that's the left for you.

Hey Al, I noticed Florida isn't under water yet.

He aint what he preaches. Look him up . He is the fat priest of old preaching to the starving belivers to give to the church ( so they can look after the poor) and earn paradise.

And so much has changed, during covid when people were locked up in their houses and nobody was driving but it got hotter. So the more we drive the cooler it was actually making it.
That is completely incorrect. The temperature has been increasing the whole time cars have been on the road going back a hundred years.
Do you ever take the time to read back what you write before you post it? Because you should start doing that.

Ah, so because we weren’t driving, all the CO2 got sucked back into the ground ;)
