SAN FRANCISCO — Having climate change skeptic Donald Trump in the Oval Office won’t stop the U.S. from mounting an effective fight against rising global temperatures, former Vice President Al Gore argued at an event here on Monday.
Trump has yanked the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement and quickly dismantled environmental regulations. But America will continue to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions “regardless of what President Trump says or does or tweets,” Gore said during a talk sponsored by the Commonwealth Club.
He struck an optimistic tone, telling attendees they should take hope from both the swiftly dropping costs of renewable energy technologies like wind and solar power as well as local and state leaders who were picking up the mantle of addressing climate change.
Gore shouted out Gov. Jerry Brown, who he said won an “amazing legislative victory last week” when the state Legislature passed Brown’s plan extending California’s signature cap-and-trade system.
