In Denmark we have a Minister for Climate. Her name is Connie, she loves to hear herself talk. As an ex-talkshow host that would come naturally.
Connie loves Al Gore. She thinks Al is a really insightful guy. Connie loves to talk the tough climate talk just like Al.
All that’s ok, I guess, if you keep in mind that Al Gore is a self serving dufus who can’t explain the simplest little fact without exagerating it into some sort of catastrophe or another. Here lies the problem, Connie doesn’t think Al exagerates, even a teensy weensy little bit.
So the combination of chatty ex-talkshow host and failed president candidate looking for something to do (thanks Al, we could have done without Bush) makes for some interesting rhetoric.
Take for example her first radio interview where she called CO2 for air pollution. I’ve heard this one before and let it pass. But does the minister for climate really think that plants regard CO2 as air pollution?
