As Al Gore prepared for the Glasgow climate summit, Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC devoted an episode to her anti-fossil fuel view.
MSNBC host laughed at Gore because he helped make alarmism more popular, according to polls. She also worried about Trump’s interference in her efforts to save humanity.
Mitchell opened the segment by calling attention to anti-fossil fuel sentiments that lead countries to reduce consumption.
More countries have pledged to reduce coal use and increase green energy deployment in the face of climate change. But, noticeably absent from that pledge, the world’s top coal burners, including the U.S. At the U.N. conference in Scotland today, the United States and 20 other countries did agree to end public financing of international fossil fuel projects starting next year.
Mitchell started by asking Gore whether he was concerned that his efforts might be undermined by Democratic losses. “Nancy Pelosi simply acknowledged it was bad — clearly this week has been bad for Democrats. Small Democratic margins in both the House and Senate Now, is it going to be a lot harder to get significant legislation passed?”
She continued to follow up
Do you worry that if — if Democrats lose the midterms, that what the President will now have to do through regulation — through executive order because he didn’t get the major part of his climate agenda into the legislation that they are now proposing — that that will be reversed by the next Congress?
Mitchell thanked her liberal guest for pointing out that the ex-Vice President had noted that young Republican groups and businesses have shifted left over the topic of global warming. All polling points in this direction: young people support this change, as does the business community. This has changed. The change is largely your responsibility.
Soon, she invoked Gore’s alarmist An Inconvenient TruthDocumentary from around 15 years ago, as she worried that Trump would thwart the liberal agenda this discredited film promoted:
Since then, it’s been fifteen years An Inconvenient TruthIt was published. How much ground have we lost because of inaction and the rollbacks under President Trump — former President Trump — over the past 15 years, you know? Are we going to lose so much time?
Not mentioned was that many of the movies’ predictions haven’t come true. Mt. Kilimanjaro still has plenty of snow. Glacier National Park quietly removed a sign warning that the ice would disappear by 2020.

ANDREA MITCHELL : More countries are taking the stand to decrease their dependence on coal and boost green energy use in the face of fast climate change. But, noticeably absent from that pledge, the world’s top coal burners, including the U.S. At the U.N. conference in Scotland today, the United States and 20 other countries did agree to end public financing of international fossil fuel projects starting next year.
Al Gore, a former vice president and climate activist from Glasgow will be joining us. … I understand you have a busy life, but I would love to hear your thoughts on this. U.S. commitment to combatting climate change and how that could be effected by the Democratic election losses. Nancy Pelosi admitted it was a terrible week for Democrats. Small Democratic margins in both the House and Senate Now, Is it likely to be harder for significant legislation to pass?
(AL GORE).
Do you worry that if — if Democrats lose the midterms, that what the President will now have to do through regulation — through executive order because he didn’t get the major part of his climate agenda into the legislation that they are now proposing — that that will be reversed by the next Congress?

AL GORE, AN EX-VICE PRESIDENT: Mother Nature speaks very convincingly to people.
MITCHELL
GORE: — all over the world, including in our country. Both political parties are united in their desire to solve the climate crisis. Recenty, on 55 campuses the young Republican clubs gathered to petition the Republican National Committee for a change in its climate policy. This was to prevent the party from losing a generation. Business leaders, investors, activists and others across all walks of society are expressing their agreement that the time is right to end using the atmosphere to drain the environment.
MITCHELL You are absolutely right. Polling shows that young people are keen to see change. The business community is also in favor of this. This has changed. The change is in your hands, and you are responsible.You can read more. Now you say that sustainability is on the rise in this world. What are your hopes and dreams for the world?
(GORE)
It has been 15 years has passed since then. An Inconvenient TruthIt was published. How much ground have we lost because of inaction and the rollbacks under President Trump — former President Trump — over the past 15 years, you know? Are we going to lose so much time?
GORE: It is possible to recover. We did lose some time but states such as California, New York, and several dozen other kept moving in spite of federal government fallbacks. Many companies made promises — especially those that were directly addressing their customers — to use 100 percent renewable energy. Most of the pledges have been fulfilled, and there is a tremendous shift to solar and wind power, as well as battery-power. We are now seeing green hydrogen grow faster than we thought possible.
We are seeing the decline of coal production in America and other countries. Now, the emphasis is shifting to oil and gas. For almost two decades, oil and natural gas have been among the worst investments in stock markets. The green energy businesses are growing strong and investors in financial institutions are now recognizing that there is a risk of a subprime bubble in carbon of around $22 trillion. It’s similar to what happened in the subprime housing market in 2007/2008. Because a large number of fossil fuel assets will be ineligible, they don’t want them to get left behind.
MITCHELL – It is a stunning change. Looking back at Copenhagen and other summits in the past, you can see that this summit has more energy and more vitality.
