Reply #44: I don't think we'd have appreciated it

back in 1999, the way we could today. Our knowledge and acceptance of global climate change has come about slowly.

Only since Gore became the leader in stopping climate change, has it been brought to our collective attention seriously. And there is still plenty of denial, backed by corporate interests.

Too often we humans have to find ourselves smack in the middle of a crisis before we act, rather than taking preventative steps.
