FOCUS | Al Gore: The Senate May Convict Trump After Impeachment
Madeleine Carlisle, TIME
Carlisle writes: "Former Vice President Al Gore told former TIME editor-in-chief Nancy Gibbs that he thinks that, while unlikely, there's a possibility that the Senate could vote to convict and remove President Donald Trump from office if he's impeached in the House of Representatives.

EXCERPT:
"When you burn, coal or gas or oil, we're putting 142 million tons of man made global warming pollution into the sky everyday," he said. "We're using it as an open sewer basically." Gore added that those pollutants trap as much accumulated heat every day as 500,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs would release.
The former Vice President also stressed the need for policy changes, and praised Scandinavian countries and some U.S. states like California and New York for leading by example.
"The green economy in the U.S. is now many times larger already than the fossil fuel economy," he said, adding that the fastest-growing job in the U.S. is solar panel installer. "We are now in the early stages of a sustainability revolution."
He in turn criticized the Trump Administration's rollback of regulations intended to curb climate change. "It's dangerous and shameful what we've done," he said.
"It is not fair to put the burden on individuals to solve this climate crisis... as important as it is to change your lightbulbs to LEDs, it's way more important to change your governments policies," Gore said.
