While I've not been excited about Kerry, Hilary or Obama, every time I read something from Gore, I feel like the US missed out on being able to count him among its presidents. This article exemplifies why: he's taken an issue that is central to our times and approaching it with reason and passion.

Wait, you usually flag the articles that show the science for climate change, or the science against climate change - you flag those, but you upvoted a political call to action written by a non-scientist?
- wheels 17y agoThe overwhelming majority of posts here on climate change are mediocre editorials by non-scientists: http://searchyc.com/submissions/climate+change?sort=by_date http://searchyc.com/submissions/climate+change?sort=by_date I don't flag the ones that are data-oriented, but do flag most editorials. This one, specifically, was a mark above most of those enough that I found it worthwhile. While Gore is obviously partisan, I find it disingenuous to lump him in with the bulk of partisan hackery on the topic.
