Durante los 2000, el negacionismo atacó continuamente el mensaje de Al Gore. El tiempo le dio la razón globalmente y en casi todos los detalles y al negacionismo se la quitó globalmente y en casi todos los detalles.

Gore tiene una nueva charla TED y en 20m hace un fantástico resumen de las políticas de mitigación y la obstrucción continua de la industria petrolera.

Maybe Al Gore ought to do something about this - he or any of the other millions of so-called Americans who swore mighty oaths to protect and defend that which is considered less important than a good supply of toilet paper.

Ukraine has leadership. Not us. We have corruption everywhere we look. 45 years of rightward march because a fraud stole an election in 1980, and the corrupt Republican party and all of hate radio and the ensuing fake news empire minted millionaires and billionaires off of Republican party lies.

We're the people who slaughtered Native Americans to steal the land they lived on. We're the people who kidnapped Japanese Americans and interred them in WWII. And we are the people kidnapping people "who look like" immigrants, throwing them into a goddamned gulag. Into concentration camps. We are the people who look the other way as cops bust into the wrong homes in the middle of the night and shoot to kill. We are the people with right-wing militias hiding under ICE uniforms.

That isn't Nazi Germany. That's fascist America.

That's what the Constitution has brought us, Al. Where is your 'lock box" for Social Security now?

All of the old politicians pretending they didn't build this empire of hate with every wretched decision made since the Civil Rights Act was signed into law are lying to us. How do I know? They do nothing.

It's all racism, all the way down. And it's the handiwork of that glorious Constitution, Al.

You took an oath. Prove me wrong. Do something besides run your mouth and wring your hands, you who capitulated and gave George W. Bush the White House so he could appoint Samuel Alito to SCOTUS.

Do something!

On second thought, don't. Capitulation to a fascist Republican machine won't help us.

#Maddow last night reported on the unprecedented power-grab the incoming T**** Administration is already planning. 😱

THIS is one of the things that reinforces my belief that the #election was stolen (not by hacking, but by good old #VoterSuppression & #UncountedBallots.) Just like they did in 2000 vs #AlGore when everyone voted on old fashioned punch cards.

And considering the MAGNITUDE of the THREAT facing us in barely 56 days, #Democrats should not just accept.

"Al Gore thought stopping climate change would be hard. But not this hard."
by Kate Yoder for Grist [Oct 07, 2024] [Audio avialable]

Quotes:
"Gore has been talking about carbon emissions for more than 40 years. Now he includes a "hope budget."

"At a congressional hearing on the greenhouse effect in 1981, Al Gore, then a member of the House of Representatives from Tennessee, remarked that it was hard to come to terms with the fact that rising carbon dioxide emissions could radically alter our world. “Quite frankly, my first reaction to it several years ago was one of disbelief,” he said. “Since then, I have been waiting patiently for it to go away, but it has not gone away.”

"More than four decades later, the problem still hasn’t resonated with many of them, even as the devastating weather changes scientists warned about have become reality. Wildfires have turned towns to ash, and the rains unleashed by storms like Hurricane Helene have left even so-called climate havens like Asheville, North Carolina, in a post-apocalyptic state, with power lines tossed around like spaghetti."

"So he isn’t exactly surprised that the issue is on the back burner this election season. When asked about their plans to fight climate change in the presidential debate last month, Vice President Kamala Harris assured voters she wasn’t against fracking for natural gas, while former President Donald Trump went on a tangent about domestic vehicle manufacturing."

"..Roger Revelle, a climate scientist who had played a pivotal role in setting up experiments to measure rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It was the 1960s,./\..Gore was stunned by the evidence Revelle presented, but “never imagined for a second that it would take over my life.”

"He’s spent the decades since advocating for climate action. As vice president under President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, he unsuccessfully pushed to pass the Kyoto Protocol, the first international attempt to push countries to limit their greenhouse gas emissions. Six years after he lost the presidential election to George W. Bush in 2000, An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary that turned his traveling climate change slideshow into a hit"

"...why climate change is politically contentious in the first place. “Even when Pope Francis, for goodness’ sake, speaks out on it, they attack him and say that he’s meddling in partisanship.” If there’s anyone to blame for polarization, he said, it’s the fossil fuel industry, which has tried to take control of the conversation about climate change."

“This is the most powerful and wealthiest business lobby in the history of the world, and they spare no effort and no expense to try to block any progress,” Gore said. “Whoever sticks his or her head up above the parapet draws fire from fossil fuel polluters, and they use their legacy networks of economic and political power to try to block any solutions of any sort that might reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.”

"..he says he’s learned a few things. You have to keep in mind a “time budget” that people will give you to speak with them, as well as a “complexity budget” so that you avoid dumping facts and numbers onto people. Finally, he says, you need to allot a “hope budget” so they don’t get too overwhelmed and depressed."

"Gore sees signs that things are moving in the right direction. Last year, 86 percent of new electricity generation installed worldwide came from renewables, for example. Not to mention that Congress, where climate legislation had long gone to die, finally managed to pass a landmark climate law in 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act, which aims to drastically trim U.S. emissions through green incentives and rebates."

All I can say about #USElections is that with #Harris2024, you *might* be able to get her to change her policies on #Israel or #Fracking. With #Trump2024, you won't be even be able to protest those policies. Seriously... And yes, I catch flack from other #Greens (not usually the #DemocraticSocialists) who think I should vote for #JillStein again. Yeah, I understand voting with your conscience, but I also understand that sometimes that choice has consquences. I voted #NaderLaDuke in 2000, and we all saw what happened under #GeorgeWBush. Just saying... (#AlGore would have brought so much progress when it comes to #ClimateChange and the #Environment). That's why I'm voting for #HarrisWalz. They're not perfect, but they're not #ChristoFascists.

Former vice president #AlGore said he applauded President #Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, calling the move “selfless.”
“He helped our nation navigate a global #pandemic, ushered in an #economic recovery that has created good-paying #jobs for Americans across the country, & restored America’s standing abroad,” Gore said in a statement.
