What university did Al Gore get his degree in climatology from?

He got the word out anyway. Not that it really helped much. We have gone from 350 ppm to over 410 nowadays. There was no other person out there telling us about the problem at the time. Bill McKibben is the person howling in the wilderness right now. They are learning about how it works, kinda like us Peak Oil people learned how little anyone cares about our cause 10 years ago. We are going to see climate change happen, and nobody is going to make much of a dent in it until the economy crashes.

Revi - Not that I'm giving either the R's or the D's a pass buy they are just following the pulse of the voters. Instead of just talking the game voters could elect strong green candidates. Consider this: how many votes would President Trump not have gotten had he pledged to raise fuel taxes significantly? He's talking about it now; how significant and will be do it remains to be seen. But even if he does do something meaning it will bed for the sake of getting his hands on more infrastructure building $'s and not to battle climate change.

I agree. Neither party can get much traction for action on climate change because nobody's going to accept the idea of doing something about a worldwide problem. They will talk about it, but nobody's doing anything about it.
