As Gore gave his Nobel lecture, some things occurred to me… maybe they did to you as well.
- It was not only a great and well-informed speech, but it was obvious that Gore WROTE it. What do you suppose a speech actually written by George W. Bush would sound like?
- Gore was not afraid to point the finger at the USA as well as at China as the biggest problems in the climate crisis. How would Bush have handled that issue?
- Gore SOUNDED like a man who both knew what he was talking about and knew who he was talking with. Bush rarely sounds like he knows what he’s talking about (except maybe who he has branded with which comic nickname) and it’s never really clear who he is talking to.
How much different our world would have been if there was actually a recount in the 2000 election and the Supreme Court had stayed out of it.
