Statement from Al Gore

[McCamy Taylor]

There is no earthly reason for Trump to join Syria (too close to violent death to care about global warming) and Nicaragua (thinks the Paris Accord is too weak) in dumping the Paris Accord----

Unless he is hoping to get Al Gore so angry that he decides to run for re-election.

“Removing the United States from the Paris Agreement is a reckless and indefensible action. It undermines America’s standing in the world and threatens to damage humanity’s ability to solve the climate crisis in time. But make no mistake: if President Trump won’t lead, the American people will.

Civic leaders, mayors, governors, CEOs, investors and the majority of the business community will take up this challenge. We are in the middle of a clean energy revolution that no single person or group can stop. President Trump’s decision is profoundly in conflict with what the majority of Americans want from our president; but no matter what he does, we will ensure that our inevitable transition to a clean energy economy continues.”

Run, Al. Run. Re-elect Gore in 2020

6. I'd happily vote for Al Gore

[Warren DeMontague]

8. For years I wanted nothing more than for Al Gore to run again. Still, I think that time has passed.

But he could probably convince me if he really wanted to throw his hat back in the ring. I don't think he does, however.

Kudos to Al for speaking out. I know these developments tear him up in a big way.

9. Al always has my vote!

He had it in 2000, he would have it in 2020.

10. Since Al Gore won't run again (although I wish he would), I really hope that Governor Jay Inslee

of the state of Washington will run. He would also tackle climate change in a big way.

11. Great statement

I like that obama, Jerry Brown, Kerry and Gore have all referenced that states, cities and companies should, can and will step up.
