Gore and Wallstrom, who wrote the forward in the Swedish translation of โAn Inconvenient Truth,โ which was also made into an Oscar-winning documentary, spoke at the International Writersโ Stage lecture series inย Stockholm.
Gore said the truth of climate change already is known. Wallstrom agreed, adding that โWe may not know every little detail but we know enough to give advice toย politicians.โ
She said people need to understand itโs not just a temperature change , citing a conversation with a woman in Russia who didnโt think a few degrees warmer would be such a bad thing in a place where it was -41 degrees Celsiusย outside.
โYou have to start explaining the difference between weather and climate,โ sheย said.
