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.

I think about this a lot…how much better off we would be.
Replying to @marwilliamson
To whom much is given, much is required. When you know better and do nothing, you're as much if not more to blame as those who don't know and don't care. You've been proven factual in your lifetime. #FixUSA my prayer is you @algore already have a project in motion. God Bless!

China needs to be the global focus on global warning. We can lead the charge in the US and California, but we’re not the heart of the problem, with the exception of methane and whatever’s oozing from our landfills.

I doubt that. They all talk big shit when they run and then answer to their corporate overlord once in office. he would have ended up just like Biden is. He only continued his activism to avoid slipping into obscurity. Remember, his former boss was the king of the 3rd Way Dems.

Gore was eager - he couldn’t wait to give up without a fight.
Replying to @marwilliamson
But would he have started a departed of peace and love???Actually he probably would have too, he’s a cool guy. It was my first taste as an adult that some teams don’t play by the same rules and then 8 painful years of Bush & the jump to for profit only Republicans. #factsmatter

I would argue that if the Supreme Ct hadn’t “appointed” Bush... there would not have been a 9/11.

Gore is a snake oil salesman and you know it. He has been a terrible voice and example for climate efforts. Carbon offsets? Give me a fucking break.
