Al Gore Is Right

Yes, you read that correctly. The former veep is right to call today for the world to produce less black carbon, or soot, as the most recognizable form is called. I've been saying that this is the most important agent of global warming that we can address now since I started my career as a climate criminal six years ago, so I'm glad to see Al catch up. The trouble is that most black carbon is produced in the developing world, and the most potent solution is the building of afforable power plants to bring electricity to the poor, which Al's mates won't stand for. Ah well, it's the thought that counts.
