Al Gore China Climate Remarks: ‘Didn’t See This Coming

According to Al Gore,stopping ⁣the measurement of ⁢gas emissions – the problem we’re trying to solve – ⁢is a deliberate tactic⁤ to make the crisis seem to disappear by making the information about the⁢ crisis disappear. He frames this as part of an intentional effort to downplay the severity of the⁣ climate crisis.

however, he immediately⁤ counters this with positive news: initiatives like Climate TRACE are working to continue measuring emissions, even in real-time, covering a vast majority⁤ of global sources. He emphasizes the importance of measurement,⁢ stating, “you can only manage what you measure.”

The article highlights a concerning trend: while measurement efforts exist, powerful interests (like⁣ the fossil fuel industry) are⁣ actively working to prevent accurate assessment and regulation, as seen in the example of the⁣ Tennessee law restricting local interference with fossil fuel infrastructure and Elon Musk’s xAI operating without ⁢permits.
