Gore's Band-aids

Comments from a student at SUNY Purchase:
I thought the concept of the movie (A REALLY Inconvenient Truth) was great. I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" with a bunch of friends over the summer and struggled to explain to them why the solutions Gore gives are no more than band-aids. Environmental issues are political issues, are social issues, are economic issues and Gore simply fails to address this by putting up a facade of 'going green' as a moral imperative. That is a really interesting assumption that opens a lot of doors of discussion. Is the continued survival of the human race (which is really what Gore is talking about more than the survival of the planet) a moral imperative then? What exactly is Gore's morality based upon? God? Mom? Apple pie? Baseball?
