Al Gore’s Latest on Global Warming

In his interview with Charlie Rose last night, Al Gore mentioned that the Scripps Institute has released new evidence proving that increases in global warming pollution are now coming at an accelerated rate. Gore said that scientists are yelling but the government isn't listening and "the habitability of the planet is at risk."

Rose asked, "Do you think we have begun to turn a corner?"

Gore said, "No." He then described us as "whistling past the graveyard."

Although we still have a long way to go, due in no small part to the current administration, Gore concluded, "we're close to the tipping point."
