myP-NV C1 G07U4A GOREVIDEO

Gore's purpose in giving the Nobel speech was to raise awareness about the growing threat of climate change and urge listeners to take action to address this problem. He distinguishes his position by arguing that climate change poses severe risks that require global cooperation, in contrast to those who deny or downplay the scientific consensus on human-caused warming. The ideas presented in the video help explain the issues of climate change and why swift action is needed to transition to renewable energy and reduce emissions.
