interesting article - don't know that I agree with the premise - but I do like Gore's quote:

“The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity.”

Sometimes it's better to be in a postion of power without the influence of corruption.

true Simon - I think Jimmy Carter has accomplished so much more since he left the WhiteHouse. I'd be the first to agree that he probably wasn't one of our best presidents as far as politics go - but he has accomplished some amazing things due to his influence after being president.

Probably a very silly question - but what is the Norwegian primary? I take it it's nothing to do with the country of Norway? Remember that like quite a few readers here I'm not American.

Tongue-in-cheek reference to the Nobel Prize being awarded in Norway...

way too many "amazings" flying about! JC was amazing alright!
