President Donald Trump's Energy Secretary melted down on Fox Business on Friday after the host asked his thoughts on former Vice President Al Gore.
Chris Wright joined Maria Bartiromo on her show "Mornings with Maria," and was asked what he would tell "Al Gore and the skeptics" about climate change ahead of his appearance at an upcoming New York Times Climate Forward event scheduled for Sept. 24.
Wright blasted Gore's "nonsense" that put the United States in a bad position.
"He started pedalling climate nonsense 20 years ago. The Arctic was going to have no ice anymore 10 years ago," Wright railed. "Well, this year, we had more ice than we had 10 years ago in the Arctic. He just started to peddle this nonsense the world was going to heck."
Wright continued his rant, bemoaning that over $5 trillion has been spent across the globe to fight climate change, including "investment in solar, wind and batteries."
"And everywhere they've had high penetration, more expensive prices. A complete trainwreck! And Al Gore, like most people that peddle nonsense, doesn't recant. He's just doubling down on this stuff," Wright added.
