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.

Al Gore for all his big words personally creates more emissions than thirty villages in the global south or even a hundred greedy westerners. #DeedsNotWords

I thought when the press did the recount he still lost by like 300 votes or so in Florida?

We need regulation and government intervention now! Even though those may completely destroy the possible upcoming innovations that could be the possible answer. Hopefully North Korea figures it all out for us!

Nah he’d done nothing either

I didn’t think elections could be rigged. Looks like Voter ID could have been useful for 2 decades

There was oil under that foreign sand, and Cheney and company wanted it. Nothing would get in their way.
