Climate change used to be a bipartisan issue, and legislators in Congress are getting closer to finding the center on environmental issues again despite the Trump administration’s efforts to halt progress, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said.
“Even people who don’t like to use the term ‘climate crisis,’ they say, ‘Well, this weather’s sure getting weird,’" Gore said Thursday at the Bloomberg Sustainable Business Summit in Seattle. “The scale of the climate crisis is far beyond what people can comprehend -- areas around the world will become uninhabitable and will see a large influx of climate refugees.”
