First, it was a second impending ice age. Then, we were going to fry the Earth to a crisp.
Now, as the saying goes, what’s old is new again, and Al Gore needs everyone to be afraid of “global cooling.”
Speaking at an event co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, Gore was part of an on-stage interview where he reminded people about the Sword of Damocles otherwise known as global warming.
You can watch the entire discussion below, which The Hollywood Reporter uploaded Friday:
“And by the way, that move that I mentioned, ‘The Day After,’ about the Gulf Stream shutting down, well, this morning in one of the English newspapers is a whole big article summarizing the recent dire warnings of the scientists who found yet more confirmatory information that this is a very real threat within the next 25 years,” Gore said.
The interviewer eventually followed up with: “And if there is a tipping point here, where the gradual threat of climate change becomes immediate, where if that happens and the Gulf Stream ceases to exist as we know it, we’re in an ice age in like 10 years.”
“No, no, no,” Gore responded. “But, it would be bad. It would be very bad on a scale that is beyond anything we can compare it to today.”
So there you have it. It’s time to update the doomsday clock.
Look, I’m not going to pretend to know nearly enough about climate science to proffer an actual take on the substance of Gore’s remarks.
But what I do know, especially as a Christian, is that we should, in fact, do everything we can to best steward the Earth that God has given us. Up to that point, I actually think Gore and I are somewhat aligned.
