And I'm sure the projections

are gonna continue to move.

Kinda hard to pump the ocean.

That's why

we've got to raise above it.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's not easy.

It's not easy.

This is not a simple fix.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You can only raise so much

before you change

everybody's lives around here.

Yeah.

Scott and I grew up here.

This wasn't the case

40 years ago.

So if anyone wants to argue

that it's not happening...

It's happening.

It's happening.

It's coming out of the manholes,

coming out of the drains.

And this is while the pumps

are operating at full capacity.

This is a stopgap measure

at best.

Look, it's coming out

into the street there.

Well, I've got to go onstage

in about 15 minutes.

- So...

- Right.

Show me where

the new slides are,

and then try to

fix these videos.

Put them on a stick,

and I'll try

to download them to my computer.

Okay.

I thought those boots

were gonna be high enough,

but they weren't.

All right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I am so excited to be here

and so excited

that you are here

for this training.

I'm a little bit late

getting here

because I got up early

and put on some wading boots

and went over to

a couple of the streets

that are filled up

with water this morning.

Miami, in terms of

assets at risk,

is the number one city at risk

in the entire world

for sea level rise.

This is a major crisis.

Projected sea level rise

in South Florida,

possibly seven feet

or more in this century.

By population,

the top ten cities at risk:

Kolkata, Mumbai, Dhaka,

Guangzhou, China, et cetera.

West Africa.

A lot of people at risk there.

And, of course,

the low-lying islands,

the Maldives have an enormous

amount at risk.

Kiribati has

already purchased land

to move its entire population.

And again, this is from

the city we're in right now.

I mean, I just wonder

how the governor

sloshes through this and says,

"I don't notice anything.

Do you notice anything?"

So, Florida...

- Florida.

- ...is a challenge, and so...

- I can confirm that.

- Okay.

So, that's the big question

we have.

I cover the climate,

environmental stuff

all the time,

and you have a state

with a governor

who wouldn't even

meet with scientists

- to talk about climate change.

- Yeah.

How do you move forward on it?

In order to address

the environmental crisis,

we are gonna have to

spend some time

fixing the democracy crisis.

Because big money

has so much influence now,

our democracy has been hacked.

Large contributors

call the shots.

Have you ever thought about

running for office again?

I've used this line before,

so forgive me,

but I am

a recovering politician.

Al Gore

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. (born March 31, 1948) is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Gore was Bill Clinton's running mate in their successful campaign in 1992, and the pair was re-elected in 1996. Near the end of Clinton's second term, Gore was selected as the Democratic nominee for the 2000 presidential election but lost the election in a very close race after a Florida recount. After his term as vice-president ended in 2001, Gore remained prominent as an author and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism earned him (jointly with the IPCC) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Gore was an elected official for 24 years. He was a Representative from Tennessee (1977–85) and from 1985 to 1993 served as one of the state's Senators. He served as Vice President during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001. The 2000 presidential election was one of the closest presidential races in history. Gore won the popular vote, but after a controversial election dispute over a Florida recount (settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 5–4 in favor of Bush), he lost the election to Republican opponent George W. Bush in the Electoral College. Gore is the founder and current chair of the Alliance for Climate Protection, the co-founder and chair of Generation Investment Management and the now-defunct Current TV network, a member of the Board of Directors of Apple Inc., and a senior adviser to Google. Gore is also a partner in the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, heading its climate change solutions group. He has served as a visiting professor at Middle Tennessee State University, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Fisk University, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He served on the Board of Directors of World Resources Institute.Gore has received a number of awards that include the Nobel Peace Prize (joint award with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007), a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album (2009) for his book An Inconvenient Truth, a Primetime Emmy Award for Current TV (2007), and a Webby Award (2005). Gore was also the subject of the Academy Award-winning (2007) documentary An Inconvenient Truth in 2006. In 2007, he was named a runner-up for Time's 2007 Person of the Year. more…
