Al Gore explains why he’s optimistic about stopping global warming
"AG: Well, I think the most important part of it is winning the conversation. I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, hey man, we don’t go for that anymore. The same thing happened on apartheid. The same thing happened on the nuclear arms race with the freeze movement. The same thing happened in an earlier era with abolition. A few months ago, I saw an article about two gay men standing in line for pizza and some homophobe made an ugly comment about them holding hands and everyone else in line told them to shut up. We’re winning that conversation."
He is a prime example of the way the left thinks. To disagree with them is to make you a vile enemy of humanity. Is this the civil discussions we're supposed to have. He's so arrogant I'm not even sure he understands the nastiness of his comparisons.
It's also odd that he would choose the race analogy as his father was a first class racist who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What gall.
