Keep in mind Al Gore is a politician not a scientist.
He ran for president. His talking points were listening to scientists and not spending the budget surplus gained in the Clinton years when Al was vice president.
He won the popular vote, lost Florida which was governed by Dubbya’s brother and we got Dubbya in the white house.
Over the next few years we got the SUV, Iraq war and warrantless wiretapping of US citizens. Climate scientists were labeled the enemy, EPA was turned into a joke and Haliburton and Petro comanies were doing better than they ever dreamed.
politicians only role is to be against the person in charge, even just out of spite to look like they are aware of the shortcomings of said governing body; they just like to stir things up in order to stay relevant, while in fact they dont really add any value to society. Just another middleman between imperialists and the bottom 80%.
Yea i know: in a former post, american ‘lemmies’ ? argued that 100k$/year salary puts you in the top 10% of american society, and apparently 75k$ earners are just homeless people, hence the 80%…
I keep forgetting Al Gore is still kicking around.
Human Gore is long gone. This is AI Gore, it says so in the title.
Will someone remind Al that there’s too much profit to be made to stop now?
Reminder, Al Gore has made a shit load of money talking about how humans have fucked the environment. He has also used that money to buy houses that consume more energy than a city block, and flies around the globe for talks weekly, causing more emissions while making money off taking bad about people who destroy the planet.
So he’s well aware, great!
Um that is way off. Most of his money including to buy houses come from his wife.
He has a personal fortune of $300 million+, and gets paid roughly $100k per speaking engagement or appearance. If his wife makes more money than him then their household wealth is rubbing close to the billion mark.
Sounds like a real every man, environmental hero…
yeah she is some candy heiress. can’t recall which one

But do they have the will?
It seems to be business as usual.
If they don’t today then they will once things get weird
Yep, but this won’t be as easy as today.
I mean, we’ll never do it under capitalism, Gore. So you good with dismantling capitalism?
(Crickets, I’m sure.)
decentralize governance, fediverse style. Senate my ass.
