Its easy for Suziki and Gore to preach to the government since they're not running a country, they're litke any lobby group, they only care about thier own issues, unlike the governent that has to balance about a billion different issues to make the country work.
Just like its easy for Dion to stand up and say that he's a green candidate and that he cares about the environment, he has to fight for votes, and he certainly dosen't have to worry about the effects that his promises have on the country until he gets elected, then he'll do what he did when he was in the government, which is nothing.
Yes the green issues our important, but they can't be a national suicide pact unless all of the nations involved are willing to make the same sacrifices.
Personally, I've met Suziki, and I think he's an ass and a hypocrite, but as long as the Green issues keep making money for him and his foundation, Bully for him.
