Former Vice President Al Gore has one message for President Donald Trump: "Resign."
Gore made the comment in an interview with Los Angeles news station FOX 11 on Wednesday, saying, "I don't mean to be flippant about this, I think everyone knows to discount what this current administration is doing and saying: 'They've made the [Environmental Protection Agency] the CPA! The Coal Production Agency! Instead of protecting the environment.'"
He added, although he met with Trump shortly after the election to make suggestions on environmental issues, "I don't think he's prepared to listen to advice about the importance of clean air and clean water."
The former Democratic presidential nominee also said climate change "is a global emergency. It truly is! Look at the temperatures going to record levels, look at the fires!"
He also said to anyone who doubts or denies climate change: "Don't take it from me. You don't even have to take it from me or even have to take it from the scientists, who are virtually unanimous, take it from Mother Nature! Every night on the TV is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation."
Gore said, although he is frustrated with the Trump administration, progress is still being made.
"We're not moving fast enough, but we're continuing to move in the right direction," Gore said.
