Al Gore's Long-Term Environmental Strategy

Al Gore's environmental advocacy is traced back to his 1992 book "Earth in the Balance," suggesting a decades-long orchestrated strategy. While Gore appears to be a "true believer," his efforts have resulted in a tradable commodity system based on atmospheric emissions. The hosts suggest that if the environmental crisis were truly dire, major cities like San Francisco would be forced to turn off their lights.
