I'm Sort Of Optimistic About What We Could Do, But I'm Very Pessimistic About What We Will Do. I Can't Tell You That Al Gore's 10-year Plan Is Impossible. I'm Old Enough To Remember The Second World War - If We Had A World War Ii-type Mobilization, We Might Accomplish Gore's Plan.

People Have Not Made The Connection That The More Of Us There Are, The More Greenhouse Gases Go Into The Atmosphere. The Chinese Have. They, Unlike Us, Have A Population Policy. The Right Wingers Just Don't Understand That The Country They're In Is Probably The Most Overpopulated In The World, The One Doing Most Of The Destruction, And The One With Horrendously Bad Leadership.

There Are A Lot Of Signs. One Of The Things That Makes Me Most Nervous Is The Disappearance Of The Frogs. They're Going Downhill All Over The Planet. Frogs Are Susceptible To All Kinds Of Problems, Because They Require Water To Breed And Their Skin Is Very Porous. Their Condition Is Nerve Racking.
