Don't Be Hatin'

Al Gore has been getting a heck of a lot of attention lately for his Oscar winning film "An Inconvenient Truth" and its message about global warming. The planet's temperature may have risen a tick from the extremely warm reception on Oscar night. Gore keeps saying the film's topic is a non-party issue, but all the praise has his detractors crackling for revenge.
As expected, a "conservative think tank" has rattled off a "study" claiming that the Gore family burns too much energy in their Nashville home. The claims have been disputed.
This smacks of sour grapes. Of course Gore would be well received at the Oscars. Gore at the Oscars with an environmental film is like Cheney at a country club paying everyone's greens fees. You go where the love is.
It's okay to question science, but we all know Gore is essentially telling the truth. He shouldn't be attacked for it. He has taken up a decent cause, and he's doing good things (i.e. he's not shooting an elderly friend in the face with a shotgun). Do we really need to expend so much energy attacking an ex-Vice President who is trying to save energy?
