Keep in mind Al Gore is a politician not a scientist.
He ran for president. His talking points were listening to scientists and not spending the budget surplus gained in the Clinton years when Al was vice president.
He won the popular vote, lost Florida which was governed by Dubbya’s brother and we got Dubbya in the white house.
Over the next few years we got the SUV, Iraq war and warrantless wiretapping of US citizens. Climate scientists were labeled the enemy, EPA was turned into a joke and Haliburton and Petro comanies were doing better than they ever dreamed.
I mean, we’ll never do it under capitalism, Gore. So you good with dismantling capitalism?
(Crickets, I’m sure.)

What would one billion do? We can’t do this. We could lose our capacity for self-governance.”
Title is the carrot, this is the stick of what he said.
Will someone remind Al that there’s too much profit to be made to stop now?
I keep forgetting Al Gore is still kicking around.
Human Gore is long gone. This is AI Gore, it says so in the title.
