Al Gore: 'extreme weather has made people wake up to climate change'

       Last Friday, The former US vice-president Al Gore discussed how recent years extreme weather events such as typhoon Haiyan and Superstorm Sandy  are proving a "gamechanger" for public awareness on the threat posed by climate change. Al Gore explained, "it comes about, of course, because we continue to put 90 million tones of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every day, as if it's an open sewer."
       Also, This fall for the first time in several years, leaders from across the world will discuss efforts to tackle climate change at a meeting convened by Ki-Moon in New York . It comes ahead of a key UN summit in Paris in 2015 to agree on international deal on cutting carbon emissions.
