I'm Tired of Hearing About Al Gore

A few points:

• To Gore's detractors: Obsessing over how much energy the former Vice President uses may prove that he's a hypocrite, but it does nothing to discredit his argument.


• To Gore's supporters: Dude uses too much energy. Don't make excuses for him.


• An Inconvenient Truth is worth renting if you haven't already seen it. Agree with him or not, Al makes a clear and compelling case that global warming is a problem that requires immediate action. Even if you hate Al Gore, I think the movie makes for a good discussion starter. (And the 2007 Al is a lot more dynamic and interesting than the 2000 Al.)


• No one should ever win an Oscar for taping a PowerPoint® presentation.
