The Twilight Zone in Washington!? Whodathunk?
Ja-mata TosaInu
Gore's inconvenient truth was the introduction to climate change for the majoirty of the population, his over eagerness to present an end of the world scenario allowed false predictions to be put alongside actual fact and by association tainted the entire idea in many people's minds when his predictions didnt come true:
"Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro."
"Whoops"
It is not exaggeration to say that Gore delivered kick to the nut's of climate change's credibility in the eyes of the public, a kick that is still hurting advocates to this day.
I do find this site to be interesting.

I dislike Scott Pruitt and coal.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Yeah... on second thought, the US is actually not out of the agreement. Unless they want to break international law.
The Paris Agreement stipulates that a member cannot get out of the agreement until after 4 years.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

The flagship was a lemon and the fleet suffered from it's example. Every redneck hick who looks at that picture and every other failed prediction his movie made of the last 10 years is saying to themselves "well if gore's movie was full of shit the rest of the people claiming climate change is real cant be any better".
No amount of hand waving and "you dont get it"s are ever going to recover from that dent to credibility in the eyes of the american voter.
