If Al Gore thinks global warming is true, then why didn't he do something about it when he was V.P ?

Question

>>Being behind the Kyoto protocol is one thing ,ratifying it is another, and the U.S along with most countries did not the deal is now dead.Thank you for showing us Al gore's election brochure(???), but what I'm trying to get across here is why wasn't there legislation passed to cut the carbon emissions of major polluters by say 50% ?

Answer 1

Because basically Al Gore and Clinton knew the economics and science around Kyoto were suspect (at least a competent scientist, economist or mathmatician would pointed it out), and there was no political benefit to do anything about it. \

Now that he has tranformed into an eco-evangalist preaching to the masses and making it a political issue, his previous (and current) record is not important, what is important to the converts is that he can talk the talk and use global warming as a boogie man to distact the people of the true political issues.

Answer 2

Global warming is a bunch of crock......a pathetic attempt by jealous third world nations to try to get the USA to cut down on it's progress. If that really happens guess who suffers first...the stupid 3rd world nations because the rich nations then will not be as rich to help.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Actually Al Gore did a lot about global warming when he was Vice President. Al Gore the principal person behind the Kyoto Protocol, which is really the only substantive thing that anyone has done about global warming so far.

Take a look at the first link below. It is the text of a speech given by Al Gore at the Climate Change Conference in Kyoto, Japan on December 8, 1997, WHILE HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT. Al Gore has arguably done more to advance the cause of dealing rationally with Climate Change than any other person.

Answer 8

Who cares what Al Gore thinks?

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command
