An Inconvenient Gore

Al Gore is back - having invented the internet way back when, he's now going to help us solve climate change. Most of the people I know voted for Nader in 2000 and arguably helped defeat Gore, which helped turn him into the world's best known climate activist. Not sure if I need another older whiter savior of the world - scratch that, I am absolutely sure I don't need one - but the man is back in action with a new movie. 

  1. Here's Gore being interviewed by Bernie Sanders - great interview!
  2. Here's a long article about people who aren't exactly happy about Gore's return (for reasons that I am absolutely sure above). 

What do you think? Do we need such stars in the movement? Even if we do, should they look different?
