Gore Out To Change The World
Brownstein, Ronald
National Journal, November 13, 2009, v41, #46, pp57-58
"With the domestic and international debates over climate change reaching a critical point, former Vice President Gore is back with a book on the issue. In Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, Gore argues that the prospect of disruptive climate change presents "a unique and unprecedented challenge" because its impact will unfold over decades and affect societies worldwide. Those are bigger units of measurement than political leaders usually work with when trying to build coalitions for action. "In other words, because of its planetary scope, this crisis masquerades as an abstraction," Gore writes, in one of his book's most memorable passages. [...] Gore spoke with Atlantic Media Political Director Ronald Brownstein [...] about his new book, the Senate climate debate, and the prospects for the international climate-change meeting that will open in Copenhagen on December 7."
Ronald Brownstein is the political director of Atlantic Media Company, publishers of The Atlantic Monthly, National Journal, and The Hotline, among other publications. He was national political correspondent and columnist for The Los Angeles Times.
