Gore Talks Climate Change With Obama and Biden
“All three of us are in agreement that the time for delay is over,” Obama told reporters as he sat between Gore and Biden at the transition headquarters after the meeting. “We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now,” Obama said, “that this is a matter of urgency and national security, and it has to be dealt with in a serious way. That is what I intend my administration to do.”
