Al Gore was RIGHT. But, there were at least 2 reasons why he became a pariah. 1st the oil and gas industry had a vested interest in the production of gasoline and diesel vehicles so they did NOT want to be told by Al Gore that their products were endangering the environment. They even resisted US government regulations to eliminate SMOG in our cities. They had propaganda experts attack everything about Al Gore. Secondly, he was the 1st non-scientist with a national following to speak up about clean air. Being the 1st to say that something like SMOG was a serious HEALTH problem leaves a person open to MASSIVE criticism.
.......Bottom line - Al Gore was a HERO to the clean environment movement, which was branded by the opposition as merely misguided "hippies".
..........Today scientists know that Al Gore was right. And as we can see by the HIGH summer temperatures and record heat in world oceans.( Also reef destruction and polar melting and animal species extinction). Today we see the world environment going to "hell in a hand basket"( interesting expression) !!!!!!
