An Interview With Al Gore

The Nobel laureate talks false science, oil addiction and why victory is inevitable.

It's time to end our absurd addiction to oil and coal according to Al Gore, the former Vice President of America and environmental campaigner.

In an interview with One Planet, the Nobel laureate also accuses the fossil fuel industry of disinformation and false science when it comes to climate change.

Five years after his oscar winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth pushed the issue up the political agenda, momentum has faded and the cries from sceptics have - if anything - grown louder.

Launching a 24-hour project aimed at winning over the doubters, Mr Gore tells Mike why victory over sceptics is inevitable.
