‘We need to stop using the sky as an open sewer’: Former US Vice-President Al Gore on unprecedented climate danger

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore emphasized the urgent need to address climate change during an interview with CNA in Singapore. He stated that predictions made in his 2006 documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' have proven accurate, highlighting the reality of rising global temperatures, melting ice, and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. Gore warned that the world emits 175 million tonnes of greenhouse gases daily, leading to extreme environmental impacts such as intensified water cycles, severe downpours, prolonged droughts, and the rapid loss of polar ice. He specifically mentioned the potential disappearance of 80% of Himalayan ice by the end of the century and the increasing contribution of Greenland and Antarctica to sea-level rise. These factors pose significant risks to coastal regions like Singapore and could lead to a surge in climate refugees.
