"You know, the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred," Gore, 74, told Meet the Press host Chuck Todd Sunday.

"Scientists have predicted these extraordinary and catastrophic events for going on decades now," the former vice president said.

"They're saying that if we don't stop using our atmosphere as an open sewer, and if we don't stop these heat trapping emissions, things are gonna get a lot worse. More people will be killed and the survival of our civilization is at stake."
