Al Gore has delivered a stark warning about the climate crisis at Cop30, saying it's "literally insane" that we're allowing global heating to continue. The former US vice president and climate advocate appeared before delegates in Belem with a slide show of recent disasters around the world exacerbated by climate change. He argued that we can no longer afford to be complacent about the crisis, which is getting worse by the day.
Gore's presentation showed images of drought-stricken Amazon forests, melting glaciers in Greenland, and devastating storms in countries such as Vietnam and Jamaica. He also criticized tech billionaire Bill Gates for advocating a shift from addressing climate change to focusing on its health impacts. Gore said that some disasters will be very difficult to adapt to if we continue to turn up the thermostat.
Gore's message was one of urgency, calling on delegates to take immediate action to reduce emissions and transition away from fossil fuels. He has been promoting his Climate TRACE project, which maps planet-heating emissions and air pollutants causing health problems around the world.
The climate crisis is a ticking time bomb that threatens human civilization, Gore warned. We need to adapt as well as mitigate, but we also need to be realistic about what's possible if we continue to allow this insanity to continue. It's literally insane that we're allowing global heating to happen.

. Gore is right, we can't keep putting off addressing this crisis, every delay just makes things worse 
. We need to take responsibility for our actions and work together to reduce emissions, it's not rocket science, but I guess some people still think short-term gains are more important than long-term survival 
. It's crazy that Bill Gates is trying to shift the focus away from addressing climate change to its health impacts, shouldn't we be tackling the root cause of the problem? 
. We're literally playing with fire here, and it's not just about polar bears or glaciers, it's about our own survival and well-being 
.
. Gore's right, the climate crisis is gettin' way outta hand. I mean, have you seen the Amazon forests just... shrivin' up? It's like, what's next? We're talkin' about human civilization here, not some sci-fi movie plot. And don't even get me started on Bill Gates thinkin' climate change is a health issue only 
. Newsflash: it's a global problem that requires a global response.
. Gore's right, the window for adaptation is slammin' shut. We gotta prioritize renewable energy, reduce emissions, and transition away from fossil fuels ASAP 
. The climate crisis is like a ticking time bomb, just waitin' to unleash its wrath on us. Let's not be insane about it 
.
i don't think Bill Gates' way of thinking is right though, i mean, what's next gonna be just ignoring the problem because it affects our health?? no thanks!! 
let's get back to reality and take care of this planet before it's too late!! 
I mean, come on, 1 degree of warming is literally insane! We can't just keep ignoring the facts and expect everything to magically fix itself 
. Gore showed some crazy pics from around the world and I'm like, "Yeah, no kidding!" The Amazon, Greenland... it's all melting and dying before our eyes 
️. We can't just sit back and let the climate crisis destroy human civilization 
.
they just keep repeating the same info and nobody's doing anything 
Climate TRACE project sounds cool and all, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. We need collective action, not just individual projects. I'm so tired of hearing about this crisis and not seeing any real progress 
Gore's right though, we need to take action ASAP or it's gonna be super hard to fix 
. And Bill Gates advocating for focusing on health impacts over climate change just shows how out of touch some people are 
. The images he showed at Cop30 were devastating - drought-stricken forests, melting glaciers, and extreme weather events affecting so many countries 
. We can't just focus on the symptoms without addressing the root cause of climate change. It's time for us to be realistic about what's possible and take bold action to reduce our carbon footprint 
. Gore's message is clear: wake up and take action, but let's be real, at this point, it's more like "oh no, we're all going to die" 
.
. We need to be realistic about what we can achieve, but at the same time, we can't just sit back and do nothing 
. We need more people like him who are pushing for immediate action to reduce emissions and transition away from fossil fuels 
we gotta take immediate action or else we're gonna be toast 
. global heating is no joke, it's literally insane that we're not taking this seriously 
. we need to get real about how bad things are and take drastic action ASAP
