Surprise: Gore praises fossil fuels for having ‘tremendous benefits’ – ‘Poverty has declined, living standards increased’
Gore: "We have had tremendous benefits from our reliance on fossil fuels. Poverty has declined, living standards have increased and we still depend on them for more than 80% of world's energy," Gore opened his talk stating. But then he added, "Must we change?"
Aussie Herald Sun newspaper: 'Audience members were physically stopped from recording the speech' - "The former US vice president said in his speech that man-made pollution was equivalent to 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs every day. He says the world is only getting hotter, with 2016 the hottest year on record and Australian heatwaves now five times more likely due to global warming."
