Former Vice President Al Gore blamed global warming for the
devastating natural disasters in the Philippines and northeastern U.S.
in a
Politico interview
published Friday.
The extensive interview, in which Gore calls himself a "recovering
politician" and declines to rule out a Presidential run in 2016, also
focuses heavily on Gore's thoughts on efforts to combat climate change. Gore said he thinks the world is nearing a "tipping point" in which
there would be "shared resolve" to decrease the use of fossil fuels
worldwide. He also said that, if steps are taken now, some
"catastrophic" events might be avoided. But he also made sure to cite
global warming as the cause of other recent high-profile natural
disasters...Gore predicted in the same interview that "hundreds of millions of climate refugees"could be created if action isn't taken soon...
