Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Denied the presidency by the United States Supreme Court (in a 5-4) vote, Al Gore became a Jeremiah for awhile during the worst of the Bush years. Generally, the mainstream media ignored him or derided him, even as he spoke truth to power about the War in Iraq and the threats to democracy. Since then he's become an apostle about the crisis of climate change, an entrepreneur, and a visionary. In his latest book, "The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change," Gore offers a futurist manifesto. As with most chroniclers of the human condition and the debate over the challenges ahead for our species, Gore has his advocates and detractors. |
