How far Gore has fallen

The video of Al Gore's DNC speech (available at the link below) neatly illustrates Gore's failure at convincing even his own party that we're facing a climate crisis.

Starting at the 2:06 mark, Gore mentions four alleged reasons why he would have been a better president than Bush. Gore winds up and passionately delivers his "climate crisis" line last, then waits in vain for a big audience response that never comes.

Al Gore DNC Speech (VIDEO) (TEXT)
Take it from me, if it had ended differently, we would not be bogged down in Iraq, we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him. [big cheer, continuing into Gore's next sentence] We would not be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis; we would be fighting for middle-income families. We would not be showing contempt for the Constitution; we'd be protecting the rights of every American regardless of race, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation. [big cheer] And we would not be denying the climate crisis; we'd be solving it. [relative silence]
