Joel Kovel, whose comments form the basis of the film, A Really Inconvenient Truth.Comment on the film A REALLY Inconvenient Truth from student at SUNY, Purchase:
How does one continue to exist in a system that one knows is wrong and is harming them and everyone around them? Certainly one must continue to strive to agitate, to work against this mechanism but as one does this, one must keep in mind that their actions no matter how small still matter. This is maybe where Gore can help to some degree and this is why I dont think a complete and total write off of Gore is a good idea (Gore is still an asshole). Gore stresses individual action however filthily moderate his ideas are. Gore makes a step but is afraid to take the leap. However, if these individual actions are connected to a overarching critical view of where the problems are indeed coming from, one can begin to make enormous progress toward ending capitalism in the longer term without ignoring personal responsibility for the environment in the short term.

You apparently must be living in a FOX or Limbaugh bubble to make such incorrect and distasteful comments on Al Gore.
But I see you were only too glad to ride his fame and name for your own interests.
I recommend you educate yourself on facts before you carelessly repeat lies by the Reich Wing.
Mr. Gore is a visionary, intellect, experienced Statesman. And because he can be successful while being a populist progressive Democrat, makes him about as much as a Moderate as Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
And just for a quick recap on something you may not be familiar with, namely his position on the most important issues we face, enjoy these 3 video shorts he made and posted to his TV networks to web community.
