WASHINGTON (CBS DC) – Former Vice President Al Gore compared the civil rights movement to the fight against climate change while speaking to graduates at Princeton University on class day.
Gore explained that before a change can happen, American society must agree that there is a problem to begin with. The Democrat recalled a moment during his childhood in the South where a friend made a racist remark and his other friends were quick to tell the kid to “shut up.†They informed him that his way of thinking was no longer acceptable.
He then went on to explain that progress can be made for climate change through changing the discussion, much like the civil rights movement.
“After the conversation was changed, the laws were changed,†Gore stated.
Changed with no thanks to his father and lots of other Democrats.
“It took some time, and the administration didn’t want to go along with that, but over time it was seen as the right thing to do,†Gore said. “So there will be a conversation, not only about divestment or the EPA’s announcement today, but about the future of human civilization, and I’m going to ask you to help win that conversation.â€
Well, Gore is certainly winning with all that oil money for selling Current TV, wouldn’t you say?
