Sky News host Chris Kenny says Al Gore and Prince Charles "are quite frankly nuts," following the climate-focused speeches they delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Former US vice president Al Gore had compared the current climate crisis to historic events such as the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Battle of Dunkirk.

While Prince Charles had said climate change, global warming and the loss of diversity are the "greatest threats humanity has ever faced," as he also met Swedish activist Greta Thunberg for the first time. "They are just so desperate to get their political agenda ahead," Mr Kenny told Sky News host Paul Murray. Mr Kenny said Al Gore's address was "pathetic" and hypocritical. "I hate the hypocrisy; Al Gore's got the carbon footprint of Tuvalu".
