Gore will forever deserve credit for moving American opinion by incredible efforts at education. Kerry both had a closer friendship with Biden and his work as SOS that was essential to getting the Paris Accord - which was a big deal.

Why not find someone whos currently deep in the struggle, someone with some charisma who can get people to pay attention when they talk, and to see things a new way, to open up their minds. This is going way too far in trying to restore a lost status quo that wasnt working anyway.
For full disclosure Im the same age as Kerry, this is not about age.
