One day climate change skeptics will be seen in the same negative light as racists, or so says former Vice President Al Gore.<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with former advertising executive and Climate Reality Project collaborator Alex Bogusky\u00a0broadcasted on <\/span>UStream on Friday<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Gore explained that in order for climate change alarmists to succeed, they must \u201cwin the conversation\u201d against those who deny there is a crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI remember, again going back to my early years in the South, when the Civil Rights revolution was unfolding, there were two things that really made an impression on me,\u201d Gore said. \u201cMy generation watched Bull Connor turning the hose on civil rights demonstrators and we went, \u2018Whoa! How gross and evil is that?\u2019 My generation asked old people, \u2018Explain to me again why it is okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different?\u2019 And when they couldn\u2019t really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The former vice president recalled how society succeeded in marginalizing racists and said climate change skeptics must be defeated in the same manner.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSecondly, back to this phrase \u2018win the conversation,\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cThere came a time when friends or people you work with or people you were in clubs with \u2014 you\u2019re much younger than me so you didn\u2019t have to go through this personally \u2014 but there came a time when racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just natural. Then there came a time when people would say, \u2018Hey, man why do you talk that way, I mean that is wrong. I don\u2019t go for that so don\u2019t talk that way around me. I just don\u2019t believe that.\u2019 That happened in millions of conversations and slowly the conversation was won.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe have to win the conversation on climate,\u201d Gore added.<\/span><\/p>\n When Bogusky questioned the analogy, asking if the scientific reasoning behind climate change skeptics might throw a wrench into the good and evil comparison with racism, Gore did not back down.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s the same where the moral component is concerned and where the facts are concerned I think it is important to get that out there, absolutely,\u201d Gore said.<\/span><\/p>\n Gore also took shots at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has\u00a0<\/span>lambasted<\/span><\/a>\u00a0climate change alarmists on the presidential campaign trail, and at other politicians who dare to question the veracity of global warming science.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole, to attack their integrity, and to slander them with the lie that they are making up the science in order to make money,\u201d Gore said.<\/span><\/p>\n
