Gore preaches climate urgency at seminary: Allowing global warming is ‘Heaping contempt upon God’s creation’

Former Vice President Al Gore spoke in New York City to the Union Theological Seminary in advance of the People’s Climate March.

“There is a confusion between dominion and domination,” Gore told the seminary on September 18, 2014 on the eve of the People’s Climate March in New York City. Gore addressed the Interfaith Leaders Climate March Breakfast which included clergy from across New York City.

“We now face an issue of environmental justice on a global scale,” Gore said.

Gore warned of more snow due to global warming.

“If it is season of snow, there is much more snow, you know about Snowmageddon here in New York City,” Gore explained, claiming that global warming was increasing storms.

Gore ended his speech sounding a doomsday climate prophecy and warned: “There will be a day of reckoning and years from now. The next generation will have an opportunity, depending on the circumstances upon which they find themselves to look back and ask one of two questions.

“If they find themselves in a world of despair with even stronger storms, and mudlslides and deeper droughts and shortages of food and failing political systems and climate refugees and if they live in a world where they look at …
