GORE: “Here is the thing, we are treating the atmosphere as an open sewer. It’s a very thin shell around the planet, and we’re changing it dramatically by dumping 110 million tons of manmade, heat-trapping global warming pollution into it --"
NOAH: "Right."
GORE: "-- every day. The cumulative amount now traps as much extra heat energy every day as would be released by 500,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every 24 hours. It’s a big planet, but that is an enormous amount of energy; that’s why the temperatures are going up, the water cycle’s being disrupted. And the fires -- look at the fires in California just recently. In South Africa, Cape Town almost ran out of water.”
