It’s always amazed me how one man took climate change to the level it is. Al Gore’s one issue in 1988 and 1992 was global warming. Once he became veep he never mentioned it again. Nor did he mention it when he ran for president in 2000. All he talked about then was a SS lockbox. Then he loses and goes back to global warming and becomes a billionaire.
Actually, as VP Gore hosted a closed meeting for about 500 environmental journalists, a large number of which were and remain the eco-crazy wing.
