Crib analogy for global warming
Pressed on the colonization of space, Gore said that in some future century—maybe sooner—that could be a practical possibility. But he questions the ability of the human race to evacuate the planet, even with ample notice.
"We didn't do a really good job of evacuating the city of New Orleans [due to the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina]," he said.
There's only one Earth, Gore said. "We don't have a spare…we don't have an operating manual."
Our planet has a rising fever, Gore said. "If the crib catches fire you don't say: ‘Hmmm, how fast is that crib going to burn? Has it ever burned before? Is my baby flame retardant?'"
