Gore absolutely did not make climate change his priority in 2000. That's just a straight up lie. He campaigned almost entirely on the economy and reforming social security and Medicare. Climate change was NOT a top issue for voters or for Gore in 2000.

Oh no, we might have gotten social security and Medicare funding fixed, so people today wouldn’t be looking at poverty in their old age? What would gen z be if they were allowed hope and dreams?

And imagine a presidential candidate willing to fix intractable long term problems, who was later found to be very serious about climate change?
