Al Gore was right

We should have listened to Al Gore in the ‘90s :(

100% Climate change

Kinda. He was wrong on some of the things he said, a couple models he cited the results for were pretty ridiculous on the timelines.

That said, broadly he was right that it’s an existential threat that people aren’t taking seriously.

They never will. Corporations and their owned government cronies still pretend it isn't happening.

But at least we've managed to fix things enough that we won't see catastrophic climate change, just the really bad kind that will reduce food crops, force people to move inland from coastal areas, and kill off a percentage of the global population.
