Al Gore’s Rx for Climate Change

From ABC News:

 ”March 21, 2007 — Former Vice President Al Gore — a politician turned crusader against global warming — returned to Capitol Hill today, asking lawmakers to consider their place in history when rising to the challenge of fighting what he calls a “climate crisis.”

Among Gore’s comments was this gem:

“Twenty of the 21 hottest years ever measured in the human record have been in the last 25 years.  The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor.  If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don’t say, ‘I read a science fiction novel that says it’s not a problem.’ If the crib’s on fire you don’t speculate that the baby is flame-retardant.“

I think Melvin (Jack Nicholson) says it best in “As Good as It Gets.” (from reelways.com)

I like his intentions, but it’s all in the delivery.  I think climate change needs a new face.  Is Obama available?
