Asked about presiding over electoral certification for George W. Bush's 2000 victory after challenging some results, former Vice Pres. Al Gore tells jonkarl: “The Constitution required what I did and there's nothing really extraordinary about it.”
"They're saying that if we don't stop using our atmosphere as an open sewer, and if we don't stop these heat trapping emissions, things are gonna get a lot worse," Gore told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "More people will be killed and the survival of our civilization is at stake."
Al Gore speaks during the"Destination 2030: Making 1.5C A Reality" event on day six of the Cop 26 Summit at the SEC on Nov. 5, 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland.President Joe Biden recently announced several executive actions to address climate change but didn’t include what activists sought most: a declaration of a national climate emergency.
But Karl noted a recent focus of the Biden administration has been lowering gas prices, which has meant asking countries to ramp up oil production.Gore said people need to avoid "confusing the short term with the long term."
