Gore: Global warming skeptics are this generation’s racists | The Daily Caller:
One day climate change skeptics will be seen in the same negative light as racists, or so says former Vice President Al Gore.
In an interview with former advertising executive and Climate Reality Project collaborator Alex Bogusky broadcast on UStream on Friday, Gore explained that in order for climate change alarmists to succeed, they must “win the conversation” against those who deny there is a crisis.

“My generation watched Bull Connor turning the hose on civil rights demonstrators and we went, ‘Whoa! How gross and evil is that?’
My generation asked old people, ‘Explain to me again why it is okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different?’
And when they couldn’t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.”
