NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Former Vice President Al Gore is knocking on wood.
Seated in front of portraits of Johnny Cash and Prince inside The Pinnacle, a Nashville music venue, Gore told Inside Climate News that despite the current state of both national and global politics, he believes humanity can and will surmount the challenge of human-induced climate change.
But that’s not the whole story, he said.
To meet the challenge presented by a rapidly warming world, Gore said it will take more than cheap talk. It will take action.
Just before sitting down for a conversation at the beginning of May, Gore presented his climate change slideshow, its delivery perfected over two decades, to a room of hundreds of members of the Climate Reality Project, a Gore-led nonprofit that focuses on recruiting, training and mobilizing people to help speed the transition to a clean energy future.
