Ten years to go.

Hmmm, two to the next election, then two presidential terms.

Wonder why Algor picked ten years?

I bet the right president for eight of those ten years could save us all, if we were willing to embrace a radical change in the way the US views such things as economics, property rights, and free speech.

But who could tackle such a task? Who would you pick to be the one to save us? Who is it who has the insight, the correct knowledge, and a deep understanding of the way Earth works? Who has personally measured the thickness of the Arctic icepack from a nuclear submarine?

Imagine being lectured by Algore for 90 minutes?

I seem to remember an Ayn Rand essay from around 1969 that said they always chose 10 years. Close enough to be scary, long enough so that if doom fails to materialize, most people won't remember anyone said it would.
