No he has NOT!
All the stuff in his books is simply cut & pasted from others.
cogitator repeatedly states that he is not an advocate for the schemes laid out by the most zealous of the adherents he mentions, he also admits he has no solutions apart from those already made since 1970 when energy conservation and pollution reduction were married in a rather odd union of carrot and stick which gave birth to a dysfunctional offspring of confused flagellates, scared to eat the candy lest they be bruised again.
If anyone is interested, Al Gore’s first true foray into world salvation came in 1992 with the publication of his call to arms, Earth in the Balance where he says:
“On Environment: Global Marshall Plan: Five strategic goals
In my view, five strategic goals must direct and inform our efforts to save the global environment:
1. stabilizing of world population
2. the rapid development of environmentally appropriate technologies
3. a comprehensive change in the economic “rules of the road” by which we measure the impact of our decisions on the environment
4.negotiation & approval of a new generation of international agreements
5. a cooperative plan for educating the world’s citizens about our global environment.”

An Inconvenient Truth and his subsequent series of seminars and recruitment of acolytes underway right now is the fulfillment of #5 on his list of five things that must be done that he laid out 15 years ago; no one has a clue how to go about bringing the other four to fruition.
Remember Gore apparently doesn’t even know how to fix broken-overflowing toilets (deadbeat landlord is one of his many “professions” in addition to tobbaco farmer and zinc mine owner).
