In Climate Speech Former VP Al Gore Draws Parallels between MAGA and Nazism

Former Vice Pres. Al Gore was the keynote speaker at a special Climate Week event at The Exploratorium in San Francisco on April 21. He kicked off the event with a speech criticizing the Trump administration’s approach to climate change, comparing it to the Third Reich and highlighting the need for action.
AL GORE: It is abundantly clear, after only three months and one day, that the new Trump administration is attempting to do everything it possibly can to try to halt the transition to a clean energy future and a deep reduction in the burning of fossil fuels. The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis, basically 80% of it.
Many of you here today have likely felt the chilling effect of the policies and the rhetoric coming from Washington, D.C. and what the effect has been on businesses and investors and far beyond.
The Dow Jones, of course, today fell another thousand points and since Donald Trump’s inauguration it’s gone down six thousand points. But while the most visible impacts of what the new administration is doing may be in the market for stocks and bonds, that’s not the only thing that he has caused to crash.
