Al Gore - More Publicity
Publicity is good, right?
Well, what goes around, comes around.
I think the saying is: "live by the sword, die by the sword"...

You can read about Mr. Gore's environmental contributions in this article by John Fund in the Wall Street Journal:
"The media are finally catching up with Al Gore. Criticism of his anti-global-warming franchise and his personal environmental record has gone beyond ankle-biting bloggers. It's now coming from the New York Times and the Nashville Tennessean, his hometown paper that put his birth, as a senator's son, on its front page back in 1948, and where a young Al Gore Jr. worked for five years as a journalist.
Last Tuesday, the Times reported that several eminent scientists 'argue that some of Mr. Gore's central points [on global warming] are exaggerated and erroneous.' The Tennessean reported yesterday that Mr. Gore received $570,000 in royalties from the owners of zinc mines who held mineral leases on his farm. The mines, which closed in 2003 but are scheduled to reopen under a new operator later this year, 'emitted thousands of pounds of toxic substances and several times, the water discharged from the mines into nearby rivers had levels of toxins above what was legal.'"
