“I'm not a psychologist, and I don't know how to play a more sophisticated role than the one that I have played for quite a few years, and that is spending a lot of time with these hard-working scientists in the various fields of expertise that relate to the climate crisis, learning as fully as I can the truths they are discovering, asking them to explain it in language that's simple enough for me to understand and then use that language to convey the essence of it, and then letting the chips fall where they may.” KnowsYearsMayI CanHardEnoughPlayUseFallLanguageSimpleRolesKnow HowFieldsHard WorkEssenceScientistAskingCrisisClimateVariousSpendingRelateDiscoveringSophisticatedChipsExpertisePsychologist Author:Al Gore
