As Vice President he didn't value global warm as a worthy cause. It was never mentioned it. I guess now that he gets the big bucks for personal appearances and being the GW "spokesperson" it suddenly is very important. The more this Global Warming hoax gets pushed down the throats of the American People, you can guess what will follow in years to come -- get ready all you middle class working stiffs -- new Global Warming taxes. And just so you know, if we never started another gasoline engine or manufactured another product, or mowed our grass, or if nary another cow made another "cow chip" we could not stop Global Warming.
