When all the votes were actually counted Al Gore had won the election in 2000. The Supreme Court basically stopped the Florida count and gave Bush the presidency. Had Gore won we would have started a needed war against climate change and not a tragic war against Saddam Hussein.

We need climate action NOW. We cannot rely on vague pledges with distant deadlines. We need concrete plans to phase out fossil fuels in the near term. As the scientists at the @IPCC_CH make clear: there is no time left to waste.

Thank you Marianne! Al Gore would have tackled climate crisis. So tragic that so many are stuck.

Thank the Lord Gore lost. By the way it is 2021 and the North Pole still has ice.

Over 9 trillion was spent on that war. Imagine if it had been spent on climate. Imagine is the key word. Most elected officials do not imagine or think outside the box and have an infatuation with status quo.

Explain to me how you can start a war with earth?

As was then, more probably that, being neo-liberal, he would just have created the "carbon footprint market" as a "solution", AND, foreign policy being "bipartisan", he would have started the said war.

I hate to say it but conceding was the right thing. For the country, and peaceful transfer of power. Think if that happened today? It would be insane
