Al Gore video posted on eve of Iowa caucuses
Watch this video on [shorts] of Al Gore posted just minutes ago on YouTube by WarnerBrosRecords on the eve of the Iowa caucuses. The video and timing of the post raises Gore’s environmental cause as Democrats and Republicans face voters tomorrow in Iowa.
In the video, Al Gore talks about “the seven point pledge.” He stopped counting, but there is an inaudible moment in the video. What did he say?
“I pledge: 1) to demand my nation join an international treaty within two years to cut global warming polution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half world wide. Now the second part of the pledge is a little more personal. 2) I pledge to reduce my CO2 polution as much as I can and offset the rest in order to become carbon neutral. The other parts of the pledge focuses on things like renewable energy, conservation, planting trees, and protecting rainforests, fighting for legislation, new laws, new policies to greatly increase energy efficiency. Also, on the personal side the focus is on my home, my school, my work, my place of worship, [—-inaudible—-] to make sure those changes are underway there as well.”
