Al Gore Warns of ‘One Billion Climate Migrants’—Blames Trump for Undermining Climate Agenda

Al Gore accuses the Trump administration of undermining efforts to combat the "climate crisis", predicting "one billion climate migrants crossing international borders... if we continue driving temperatures and humidity higher".

"The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality... They say the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing."

"Is it realistic... for governments to manage one billion climate migrants crossing international borders in the balance of this century?"

"We've already seen... how populist authoritarian leaders have used migrants as scapegoats, and have fanned the fires of xenophobia to fuel their own rise to power."

"Imagine what the demagogues would do as we continued toward a billion migrants crossing international borders. We could face a grave threat to our capacity for self-governance."
