Reply #5: Wasn't there a July 2005 Senate floor speech (I think on the energy bill) [View All]

where Kerry did in one part of the speech do almost what Reid did. From memory, he said that the polar ice caps are melting, that the Greenland ice sheet will follow. He spoke of the ports, such as Boston and (a list of others) would be undersea. He then spoke of many other .

I know there was a recent speech where he mentioned the intense draught in Africa that was devasting to people who didn't cause it.

I think part of it is that it is one of many thinks Kerry has spoken of - and he has connected to people's lifes - mentioning that dads can not take their kids fishing and eat the fish in 30 some states etc - that really didn't get covered.

The one way that he msy be working to address this is he said something about writing a book on the environment. I assume he will talk about it when the book comes out. (If this comes about, he really should include the cute picture from Butler's book, where JK while vacationing with friends organized everyone to collect the garbage on the beach and make boats - then had a race with them. It is hands on environmental clean up - won't fix global warming - but did help a little and likely influenced each of those kids.)

The other issue with the article is that I also don't see that these issues even belong on the same axis, although there is an overlap you can speak about both. Kerry and Gore actually both do.
