Al Revere An interview with accidental movie star Al Gore	David Roberts	09 May 2006	Main Dish
Al Gore is on the campaign trail again, and he actually seems to be enjoying it. Like Brad Pitt, but wonkier. Photo: Eric Neitzel/WireImage. For those who remember his ponderous, consultant-driven bid for president, the idea of Gore enjoying anything about campaigning may seem far-fetched. But this time, the campaign's not about him; it's about the issue that has been his consuming intellectual passion for nea ...

Wired cheerleading New Wired green issue goes a little overboard	David Roberts	27 Apr 2006	Gristmill
The latest issue of Wired -- the "green issue," now de rigueur in the magazine world -- has Al Gore on the cover, and the story on his "resurrection" is fantastic. It's one of the best things I've read on his post-2000 activities. Some of the rest of the issue, however, is irritating -- nothing so much so as this risible chart by Josh Rosenblum, a rating of various environmental groups based on a set of scientific criteria known as How Much T ...

Lights, Camera, Traction Al Gore and electric car star in films unveiled at Sundance	Dan Bree	02 Feb 2006	Arts and Minds
At 25 years of age, Sundance is the country's premier festival of independent film. But a lot has changed over that quarter century. Well, actually, one thing has changed: m-o-n-e-y. There's a ton of Hollywood cash spent at Sundance, and I could see it everywhere I looked last week. The "VIP" corporate parties on Main Street. The piles of free stuff for celebrities. The Moviefon ...

Al's Well That Pens Well Al Gore to publish new book on global warming The self-proclaimed "former next president of the United States" -- currently at the Sundance Film Festival (and, may we point out, looking quite natty) to promote his new documentary about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth -- has announced that he'll soon be coming out with a new book on th ...

Gore on the marketplace of ideas	David Roberts	05 Oct 2005	Gristmill
Do you wonder why public dialogue in the U.S. these days takes place in such an atmosphere of surreal trivia, despite the vitally important challenges facing us? Wonder why global warming, a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, can get on TV only if it's cast as the malevolent face behind a hurricane? Wonder why Americans are so bogglingly ignorant of basic current events? Al Gore knows. Read his extraordinary speech.

Read more about: Al Gore Second Class Citizen Al Gore spent his second class as a professor at Columbia University's journalism school focusing on how the media cover global warming. Before the class, students were given materials suggesting that the vast majority of the world's climate scientists believe global warming is occurring, and they were asked questions like, "Is it your view that scientists who are the minority on this issue and who remain unconvinced about the seriousness of th ...

During a final 30-hour, five-state campaign tour, Al Gore appealed yesterday to enviros and other supporters of Green Party candidate Ralph Nader to join the "main" contest and vote for Gore over George W. Bush. Speaking on a syndicated radio show, Gore said, "I don't like the argument that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, [but] I think it's true. That's why the Republicans are running TV ads for Nader." Some voters ...

Balancing the Book A look back at Al Gore's 1992 opus on the environment	Chip Giller	25 Oct 2000	Arts and Minds
Earth in the Balance By Al Gore Houghton Mifflin, 416 pages, 2000 How many environmentalists have actually read Earth in the Balance? Very few, I'm willing to wager. The truth is that until recently, I myself felt qualified to pontificate on Al Gore's environmental beliefs and, yes, occasionally question whether he'd lived up to them, even though I hadn't read more than a few excerpts from th ...

Al Talk and No Action		10 Oct 2000	Daily Grist
Read more about: Al Gore Al Talk and No Action Although most environmental groups have endorsed Al Gore for president, they also complain that he has been too cautious as vice president. He has certainly talked big about the environment and has a great storehouse of policy ideas, but he has tended not to take big political risks that would require citizens to sacrifice for the environment and instead pinned his hopes on technical wizardry and clean-and-green inventions to save the day.

Fish or Cut Debates This is not what democracy looks like	Donella H. Meadows	09 Oct 2000	Global Citizen
I wish everyone would stop calling them "debates." Even back when the League of Women Voters first televised confrontations between presidential candidates, they weren't debates. At best they were stiff, unnatural political discussions. Now that the two major political parties run them, they are carefully controlled soundbite gotcha matches. Like most everything about our campaign process, th ...
