2026 Could Be the Turning Point on Climate Action, Al Gore Says
Gore said solar, batteries and electric vehicles are accelerating fast enough to help cut emissions by half in 10 years.
- During New York Climate Week on Friday, Former Vice President Al Gore stated 2026 could be a "positive tipping point" as solar and renewable power overtake fossil fuels, though he acknowledged the world remains in "grave danger."
- Reflecting on the 20 years since "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore noted a dramatic shift in global energy investment; ten years ago, 55% of investment went to fossil fuels, while now 65% supports renewables.
- Technology adoption is accelerating globally, with Africa installing 100,000 solar panels daily, 91% of new U.S. electricity generation being renewable, and 30% of all new cars sold globally this year being electric.
- Gore argued that stopping fossil fuel subsidies is key to accelerating the transition, noting taxpayers globally subsidize fossil fuel burning at $4.5 trillion per year—funds he claims could finance the necessary shift.
- Describing the climate situation as a "close race," Gore emphasized the struggle between unfathomable risks and exciting clean alternatives, noting that courage is "the determination to go forward in spite of" fear.
