Al Gore clobbers Abbott - climate change

Well there's at least one person in the US that's not buying Abbott's bullshit he's feeding them over there; that he takes climate change "very seriously".

“I don’t pretend to know what the basis of [Abbot's] thinking is, but Mother Nature has a louder voice.” he continued.
