Re: what, again?
Gore has played the hyper-environmental game at least one too many times.
What has bothered me, is that the Clinton/Gore administration did so little during their 8 years in office.
​
Now that Gore is no longer running for political office, apparently he can now come out and say what he should have said long ago. In short, Gore has demonstrated the kind of integrity we have come to expect from politicians.

Re: Somewhat off toic discussion of Clinton admin actions.
Did so little? What do you mean?
Am I supposed to catalog all that was not done?
​
Clinton/Gore managed to postpone action on the most politically sensitive issues until after they were out of office.

Re: Somewhat off toic discussion of Clinton admin actions.
I guess I'd like you to explain how the administration I remember as the most evironmentally-conscious one in my lifetime somehow represents the one that did "so little."
I am not denying that they were environmentally friendly. I am saying that they did little to specifically address the problem of global warming.
​
What legislation did Clinton veto? What specific policies were reccommended but ignored?
That's where I found them disappointing. There were no bold initiatives, no strong recommendations.
