The Republicans wouldn't admit there was any such thing as Global Warming. There were just cyclical climate shifts, they said. George Bush and his group wiped out references to it. There was some references to Alternative fuels, but nothing much done. Now, suddenly, at a Global Conference, he changes his mind. It may be too late, the tipping point may have passed, but now he's decided that the scientist may be right after all. One representative said to the U.S...."If you aren't going to lead, get out of the way!" Al Gore joined those willing to halt the effect of Greenhouse Gases on climate.
Now that extreme weather patterns are prevailing, polar bears and seals face extinction, and the glaciers are going..going..gone, do Republican owe Al Gore...the man they have treated with contempt and ridicule...a heartfelt apology? Can they admit they were wrong? Can they finally admit that Gore is right, the earth is warming and nations must work to halt catastrophic change?
