In a dry, long-winded manner, Senator Al Gore pieces together a marvel of exageration and fascination. He uses excessive details and extreme data to support a couple of theoretical, unproven ideas. He has good intentions, fully aware of the need to both inform and change public opinion concerning the environment, but he portrays his views in a dark, negative, and pesimistic way. However, no one can accuse Gore of lacking ample support for his point of view. He frequently uses long, abstract metaphors to make simple assertions seem complicated. His intent should be commended, however his writing should be banned.
