Climate Change Update: Al Gore Compares Climate Change To Civil Rights Fight | FoxNews.com

Al Gore Compares Climate Change To Civil Rights Fight | FoxNews.com: "“And we still have racism, God knows, but it's so different now and so much better. And we have to win the conversation on climate.”

Gore also wants people to give up meat and go organic to combat global warming.

"Industrial agriculture is a part of the problem,” Gore said. “The shift toward a more meat-intensive diet,” the clearing of forest areas in many parts of the world in order to raise more cattle and the reliance on synthetic nitrogen for fertilizer are also problems, he added.

Gore advocated organic farming and relying on “more productive, safer methods that put carbon back in the soil” to produce “safer and better food.”

Gore also railed against the mining industry, calling mountaintop-removal mining a “horrible practice” that is “just incredibly harmful to the environment and to people.”"
