Thursday at the annual U.N. Climate Change Conference, former Vice President Al Gore told “Democracy Now” anchor Amy Goodman that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline is comparable to a desperate junkie using toe veins after blowing out their arm and leg veins.

Gore said, “I think its a terrible idea. You know junkies use veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and legs collapse Thats my view of it.” adding, “I kinda think he [Obama] will not approve it.”
