According to the UK’s Times Online, Al Gore has been comparing the need to fight climate change with the fight against Nazism:
Speaking in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by The Times, Mr Gore said: “Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource.”
Mr Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as that from Hitler.
Perhaps it’s difficult because it’s completely ridiculous.
