Some Good News for a Change
Is there reason to be optimistic about global warming?
Writing in Salon, Kevin Sweeney thinks so.
He's also one of a number of people in the chattering classes who are talking about Al Gore's global warming road-show...something I've come across in my reporting as political editor of
Plenty magazine. I've even heard a rumor that Vanity Fair is trying to land Gore for the cover of an upcoming issue. Sounds farfetched at first...but in a way, you could see it.
Is Gore the best alternative the Democrats have to Hillary Clinton? Quite possibly. Because they desperately need an alternative to Hillary—she's just too much of a lightning rod to win the presidency, no matter how badly the Bush administration has screwed things up.
Incidentally, you can read some of my latest for Plenty—
it's the cover story!—on whether gender plays a difference in people's attitudes towards the environment.
