Al Gore: Climate-Change Fight Like Battle Against Nazis Service_times_36

Al Gore on Tuesday compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.

The former vice president said the world lacked the political will to act and invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill by encouraging leaders to unite their nations to fight climate change.

He also accused politicians around the world of exploiting ignorance about the dangers of global warming to avoid difficult decisions.

Speaking at Britain's Oxford University at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by the Times of London, Gore said, "Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilization in World War II."

He added, "We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource."
Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany.

I agree with AL-Gore when he says that fighting global warming is like fighting against nazis, It certainly is tough to control global warming. Having a cap on emmission on co2 is just not acceptable to some country's which they say would halt there econmoic development.

I think world leaders should join hands in curbing the emission of co2. so that a world could be a better place to leave.

It certainly is a tough task for the developing world to curb the emission of co2 has it would be an obstacle to development and industrialization. I think only innovation could curb the global warming. What sort of invention it's for the innovators to decide and there respective government. I think there should be a body who would take care of inventing new ways to solve the problem what the world face today
