Al Gore Gives McCain A Boost

Through his spokeswoman Kalee Kreider, Al Gore states that John McCain is just as trustworthy on the signature issue in his portfolio as is Barack Obama:

“Former Vice President Gore thinks that both candidates are very strong. Both of them have offered plans to address the climate crisis … as has Senator McCain,” she said.

I asked Kreider why she is praising McCain, considering that Bush lied in 2000 about his intent to deal with climate change. Here’s her response.

The key threshold issue for most NGO’s and people working on climate, ourselves included are: Does the policymaker, work, support, vote in favor of, introduce legislation for mandatory reductions in pollution or not. McCain has, Bush has not.
