You are much closer to the truth than you realize. I worked with someone who had a friend who was working for Gore, after his loss in 2000 to Bush. After the dust settled and he regained some balance (he fumed for weeks after losing the Presidency) the Gore team gathered and looked over a number of “causes” that would keep him in the public eye, make sure he stayed relevant. Global Warming was selected as the best play, and it had nothing to do with his convictions or anything else.
Al Gore is an condescending ass and a dullard. A dope head for most of his life, who simply walked into the life his father built for him. His father went insane and Gore is following in his footsteps.
His wife escaped into alcohol for years and finally left, probably because he’s become impossible to live with.
Yeah, it all came out here on FR over the years. The MSM wouldn’t print it, but with leaks here and there and information began to flow once the net became accessible to all. No longer able to hide, the wannabe Emperors had best not prance around in their finery with pajama media on the job.
