In the following recently recorded camera phone video, Al Gore asks and answers the question, "What does the climate crisis have in common with the invasion of Iraq?"

In what some could regard as a teaser for a possible run for President, he comments on how the Bush administration reacted to warnings prior to the 9/11 attacks and the New Orleans disaster - allegedly ignoring alarm calls prior to these events - and compares this with a similar lack of action in response to climate change warnings from climate scientists.
