Al Gore was his charismatic self here… so much so that I fear a lot of facts are lost to his agenda. He is definitely passionate, but maybe too much so. Blinders don’t become anyone.
The day Al Gore is charasmatic, Osma Bin Laden will convert to Judasim. His theories have yet to be proven. Gore is the Alpha male or as he likes to be known as the great inventor-e.g. the internet, the newspapers & a harbinger of global warming.
Thank God he never was elected, he’d be forming committees to study everything
I prefer expertise, learning, research, experience, wisdom, and all of that to this The Decider. (And no, I’m not talking about Gore, I’m talking about the capable scientists and technocrats who used to help inform policy decisions.)
Even if global warming *doesn’t* exist, it cannot be denied that pollution has tremendous effects on human health.
There is a lot we can and should be doing, there is just no political will. Just look at where we compare to much of the developed world.
Everyday I walk to work, I inhale diesel fumes from trucks and have difficulty breathing. I spent a week in Tokyo, a city of 12 million to New York’s 8 million, and the air was so fresh, the streets so clean, I thought I was in the countryside.
Whatever your feelings about Gore, you cannot deny that we can – and should – be doing more.
