Former Vice President Al Gore raged against \u201cpolluters\u201d during an address at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, demanding that people listen to scientists about climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COP29 summit<\/a>, which started Monday, previously featured speakers who proposed<\/a> taxes on the meat and dairy industry and \u201cclimate finance\u201d initiatives<\/a> for less-developed countries. While addressing the conference, Gore claimed that predictions by climate scientists had been proven to be \u201cdead right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact that the scientists who predicted all of this decades ago have been proven dead right should cause the rest of us to pay more attention to what they\u2019re telling us now!\u201d Gore vehemently told the crowd, eliciting cheering and applause from attendees. \u201cDo we listen to the polluters, who don\u2019t want to do anything meaningful that might reduce fossil fuels, or do we listen to the scientists who have been telling us what we need to do?\u201d (RELATED: Speaker At UN Summit Claims \u2018Naming Extreme Heat Events\u2019 Will Help Fight Climate Change)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
