Al Gore’s new book is reviewed in the People’s World (formerly known as the Daily Worker).
“One of the paradoxes of U.S. politics is that someone as uncharismatic as Al Gore can become such a polarizing public figure. His role in popularizing explanations of climate change to the general public makes him a lightning rod for criticism from climate change deniers, fossil fuel company flacks, and fossil fuel company owners and major shareholders who will have their pocketbooks diminished if Gore’s message about climate change is heard and acted on by tens of millions of people in our country.”
