Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday that those who deny or question the science behind climate change are comparable to the law enforcement officials who failed to take down the shooter who killed 19 elementary students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, in May.
“You know, the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers … who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred,” Mr. Gore told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Confronted with this global emergency, what we’re doing with our inaction and failing to walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what we are capable of as human beings.
