Gore Calls Out Fossil Fuel Industry 'Shamelessness' in Lying to Public

In reflecting on nearly 50 years of climate advocacy, former Vice President Al Gore said that he had 'underestimated' the greed of the fossil fuel industry. The remarks came in an interview published in USA Today on Sunday. When asked if he had any regrets, Gore responded that he had 'put every ounce of energy' he had into climate advocacy, but added: 'I was pretty slow to recognize how important the massive funding of anti-climate messaging was going on.

' In December, he lamented that the industry had 'captured the COP process,' referring to the appointment of the United Arab Emirates national oil company CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber to preside over the United Nations' COP28 climate conference in that country. In the USA Today interview, Gore also named the fossil fuel industry when asked about his greatest frustration.
