...Gore's Next Step Al Gore should not run for President [May 28]. For several decades, scientists have known that something potentially dramatic was happening with our climate. But it was Gore who almost singlehandedly succeeded in bringing the issue to the front pages. More important, he got policymakers around the world to accept climate change as a problem needing urgent attention. But until countries like China, India and the U.S. take serious action to curb climate change, Gore's mission is not yet accomplished. He should not waste his time in being just President of the U.S. Arthur...

As Noah, he aspires to save humanity from the impending great flood. Unlike Noah, though, he has not been empowered to build an ark.

Recent history has shown that a man like him can be cheated out of an election victory by a much less capable contender. Norio Ohta, Takatsuki City, Japan...
...senior politicians can lose their jobs once problems are reported in the papers-regardless of whether the politicians are capable. I am not a fan of Blair's, but I wish he could stay on as Prime Minister. After he leaves office, I hope he can serve like Al Gore, as an environmentalist and observer of world politics.
