<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Gore addresses mayors via satellite]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by caniscandida http://www.grist.org/article/us-mayors-climate-conference-gore-i/ Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:43:01 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/us-mayors-climate-conference-gore-i/1 Gore and Clinton

Well, whose fault is it, if their relationship is "fraught"?  It was Gore who put Clinton at a distance, in the 2000 campaign.  Lately, they have been civil enough to one another, if from afar.  In explaining why the Clinton-Gore administration may seem to have accomplished not much regarding global warming mitigation, neither one has been willing even to suggest assigning blame to the other.

So I am puzzled, if it is true that they are purposely trying to avoid one another.  If Al shook Bill's hand on stage, would that be interpreted as an endorsement of Hillary?  And then, if later Al decides to endorse another candidate, would the Clinton people drag out the shot of the handshake so as to make Al look like a slimy, unbelievable two-timer?

Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.

I can't think of a single thing that Gore has done to reduce greenhouse gases.

He was given ultimate power: the Senate and the White House, and yet he failed miserably.

Meanwhile, real and effective legislators have been doing the dirty work of prosecuting polluters, promoting new technologies like fuel cells, and helping business become more efficient by reducing tax and regulatory burdens.
