A kind conservative

Question Twelve: Bartlett of Maryland points out that conservative and conservation should be linked ideas and that one should be able to be a conservative without being an idiot. I'd like to agree! He's pointing out very important facts--Two percent of the worlds oil, use 25 percent of it, peak oil, etc. How can we get together on a global solution? The Chinese, he says, want help. Are we adequately reaching out to them?

Answer Twelve: Emphatically not reaching out to them. (Ok... he actually said, "I don't think we are." But I'm translating.) But we have no choice. We have to get them involved. And I (Gore) think they will.

(Many apologies for the inconsistent grammar here. When I use first person in these Q & A posts, I'm not speaking for myself, but losely translating the questioner and the respondent. I've tried to keep my comments in parentheses.)
