Thanks to various forms of his trailblazing global warming piece “An Inconvenient Truth,” 2007 was a banner year for former Vice President Al Gore. In those short 365 days, he landed a Nobel Prize, a Grammy, and an Academy Award - word has it, he could have showed up to that year’s Tony’s and snagged a statuette for Best Musical if he wanted to. Now, after spending the last year out of the limelight, America’s favorite also-ran is gearing up to do it again in 2010 - though he”ll officially get the ball rolling in ‘09 with the November release of his new book, “Our Choice.”
This sequel to 2007’s “An Inconvenient Truth” attempts to set in motion a plan for dealing with the small problem of the climate crisis that Gore so eloquently spelled out in his first book, movie, & musical. The book was originally announced two years ago under the working title “The Path to Survival” but the most recent title seems a little less foreboding and a lot more intriguing than other discarded titles like “A More Convenient Dealio” and “Al G’s Guide To Fixing This Whole Crappy Enviro-Sitch.” Unfortunately, books of environmental inclination rarely tend to leak the way new additions to vampire sagas do, so readers will have to wait util November to land a copy. Fortunately, it does look like the world will still be around by then, so hang tight.
